Maybe the reason that no one can find Satoshi is because he is not a real person, nor has he ever existed.

Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym borne in Santa Barbara California in about 2008. This was meant to protect software developers from a legal backlash being experienced by others who had tried to test the boundaries of the monetary system, such as the eGold creators.

Who get’s credit for Bitcoin, how much and why?

I am just a man who lived in Santa Barbara at the time, had some measure of experience in database software and who was working on some ideas which may have fallen into the mix.

THE CYPHERPUNKS

Without the CypherPunks Bitcoin would have had no early support and was a key ingredient in the Bitcoin success recipe.

Hal Finney was the main author and chef for the Bitcoin software and did most of the programming. He left us in 2014 to join our heavenly father, but he will return again. I am sorry to those who have kept purposefully silent about this fact, but it has been 17 years since 12 January 2009 and maybe it is time to talk about this matter.

Myself, just a humble software contributor was developing a new operating system design called ideaOS that would have fixed our reliance upon Microsoft. That company pushed back and began breaking into my company servers, to protect their precious operating system monopoly.

Hal Finney, or Herald Finney, had been around the Santa Barbara, Goleta area for about as long as I had, perhaps longer. I owned a software company nearby to one of his jobs working at Green Hills. My company is called Williamson Software and was located at 104 Anapamu Street.

We would see each other from time to time and chat about events, attitudes and the things that mattered to our world. Hal was always out ahead, able to make sense of complex dynamics, and develop fresh insights.

We both were private pilots, software developers, runners and lived in Santa Barbara. It would have been hard for us to not know each other.

What Hal lacked was a practical solution to the double spend problem, so I applied my expertise in database systems to provide the solution that he had spent years trying to find.

The project that I was working on at the time consisted of a hash entry verified file system called IFS that included something called the iBlock which is a part of the ideaOS project. This decentralized file system that I invented in 2007 provided a means to share a file system across numerous devices and every file had a hash value that was like a fingerprint of that file. This is very similar to the design of blockchain.

“Why not give a copy of the database to everyone? By giving the ledger of everyone to everyone and using a linked hashing system, you could eliminate your reliance upon a proprietary hardware card and introduce true scalability.”

The iBlock plus Hal’s work on RPoW, an early cryptocurrency experiment, became the main ingredients for Bitcoin. Hal did not need much help from me except with a better double spend solution.

We suffered greatly soon after. We endured highly sophisticated and extremely secretive attacks on our digital infrastructure, in our homes and upon our loved ones.

We had broken the forbidden boundary of reliance upon the central authority for monetary control. We had pushed back.

I do not take my gifts lightly, and I do not like to use them except for the betterment of our world. This problem vexed me, however, as I saw no way to break us out of monopolistic control of our planet of not just the money but our operating systems.

God help us and guide us as we venture forth into uncharted waters upon our world adventure. I pray for the people. We must be more responsible now as the stewards of our world and critical infrastructure systems. That means that everybody must think about and take some degree of responsibility for these matters.

I think Hal deserves most of the credit, perhaps 75%. The CypherPunks, perhaps 13%. Others, 12%, with myself included in that latter group. Later, the Bitcoin adventure continued largely without the originators and has grown into something quite colossal.

Below, find a link to a redacted version of the letter that I recently sent to my attorney in Mexico. This letter, the Proof of Concept paper that I wrote in Santa Barbara, California in 2007 for ideaOS, and the below linked 2009 FBI case evidence is what I am offering as proof of my involvement in early Bitcoin development. I am not seeking fame by this disclosure and, in my humble opinion, Blockchain 1 is a limited technology. I am looking out ahead to Blockchain 2, currently deployed in the DNA. Perhaps this may bring some closure to the Bitcoin origins matter.

The final genesis of the new DNA database system begins on 4 January 2026. The first transaction on the new network was not an exchange between two friends, nor was it for 2 pizzas, but was sent to my attorney in Mexico, on 12 January 2026, for his heroic and daring efforts to help me to survive in a new country heavily influenced by the oligarchy of the Americas. He has helped me to survive EIGHT unlawful legal actions brought against me from the entreched systems of justice.

INTRODUCING BLOCKCHAIN 2.0

The DNA system based on the new eCoin technology went into beta production mode in October of last year. DNA stands for Decentralized Network Assets.

DNA is a growing network with several computer spread out across the glob. I am defining DNA as a complete "cryptocommunity assets solution" which offers an alternative to the POW, electricity hungry, consensus algorithm of Bitcoin and the database size issue.

The new Blockchain technology in DNA restores the power to the people by placing the peers back on top. DNA runs atop an upgraded blockchain architecture, version 2.0. Blockchain 2.0 does away with transaction pools and processes transactions individually and instantaneously. This is made possibly using the new microblock technology. Blockchain 2 utilizes a new consensus algorithm called PAC which stands for Probable Agreement Consensus and works equally on almost any device and is extremely light on resources such as CPU and networking bandwidth.

PAC replaces POW utilized in blockchain version 1. PAC places trust in the probability of cheaters not having the numbers required to overwhelm the system. It is designed to keep the peers on top. The new Blockchain design divides the database into eZones similar to stripes and mirrors used in RAID systems. In summary Blockchain 2 solves the two major scalability issues persistent in Bitcoin: the electricity hungry consensus model and the monolithic database size.

DNA also brings forth the yet to be realized goal as stated in "A Cypherpunk's Manifesto": an anonymous transaction system. This is made possible in DNA by the detachable assets technology, a new type of asset system that detaches transaction away from the public chain and places them only in the hands of the initiator of the transaction. Detachable assets is now operational on DNA but is not yet available on any other cryptocurrency system*.
