Maybe the reason that no one can find Satoshi Nakamoto 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 difficult for us to not have known each other.
What Hal lacked was a practical solution to the double spend problem inherent in all cryptocurrency systems, 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 seal and gone outside reliance upon the central authority for monetary governance.
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. Without the avarice of Gates and his pot 911 Silicon Valley fake police brigade we would have not been in such a war.
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.
Who should get credit for the initial creation of Bitcoin and how much? I think that Hal deserves most of the credit for Bitcoin creation, 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.
Obviously, this is my opinion, and this seems to be a rather hot topic at this point in history. If you don't agree, that is fine. I am not trying to convince anyone, only to perhaps help and shed some light on the subject. I think that Hal and his family should be given credit and more people should appreciate what we have all gone through who had anything to do with Bitcoin in its early years. Beyond May of 2011 I can only offer what I have read about because at that point I was out. I could no longer handle the abuse being inflicted upon me by an oligarchy gone completely mad with protecting their precious monetary system.
Below, find a link to a redacted version of the letter that I recently sent to my attorney in Mexico. The letter contains entries, like a trail of pie crumbs, leading back to Santa Barbara and the origins of Bitcoin. 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 entrenched systems of justice controlled by American businessmen bent on world domination of the monetary systems.
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 possible using the new microblock technology. Blockchain 2 utilizes a new consensus algorithm called PAC which stands for
Probable Agreement Consensus, works equally well on virtually all devices 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*.
The ASICS number crunching chips built specifically for Bitcoin mining have taken over much of the operational functions of maintaining the Bitcoin network and conducting the transaction processing. With all due respect to the innovators of this technology, it was the intention of the Bitcoin creators to build a system that would remain in the hands of the people. I am generally in support of innovation and wish them all the best of luck in the world with Bitcoin and their mining operations. I truly do! It is my prayer, however, that PAC in DNA shall continue to remain in the hands of the peers of the network in perpetuity.
"Let us now bring forth the American dream for all of human kind."Healthy skepticism was the mantra of the free American citizen wishing to protect democracy. Let us now bring forth the American dream for all of human kind. Our new database shall lead the way, and our new mantra may become:
we must guard our database for the citizens against the authoritarian ruler, the kings system of old, with great vigor and determination. The database shall unseat the king. The database of the people shall become the essential ingredient to a free and united society.
There was a defining purpose driving the creators efforts that we had hoped to bake into Bitcoin, to build a system whereby there is no central authority. May we unite together now to build such a system to guarantee equality and identity upon our world.
They will try and stop us, they will attempt to co-opt and derail these efforts.
We must not allow this to happen! We must stand united to bring forth and maintain a database of the people.

Letter to Attorney in Mexico 2025
FBI Police Report Evidence, Filed April 2009
The below is a notice that I first wrote and circulated in 2010 after I had moved to Texas to work on the SOS with NSA/NRO, but before I was forced to leave the United States due to the, now unstoppable, Bitcoin proliferation.
COMPREHENSIVE FBI POLICE REPORT FILED VIA EMAIL, DELIVERY CONFIRMED BY RESPONSE EMAIL, IN APRIL 2009 TO E***.*****N, e**********n@ic.fbi.gov WORKING IN THE VENTURA FIELD OFFICE IN CALIFORNIA
INTRODUCTION:
I am making a redacted version of this evidence available for public review. THE POLICE HAVE FAILED TO PROTECT MYSELF, MY CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS FROM THESE ATTACKS. Furthermore, it is now evident that one or more police agencies were possibly involved in these attacks. I first reported issues to the Ventura FBI field office in February of 2008. They asked me to jump through numerous hoops and provide written documentation even though my customers and I were bleeding over $10 thousand per month. Being constantly under fire it was eleven months before I could sit down and spend the 40 hours required to compile this information as requested and submit it to the FBI. I received no useful response. When I made a follow-up telephone call to agent REDACTED he appeared to mock me and gave no indication that the FBI would be taking any action on my behalf.
DETAILS:
Email message sent for submission of crime report to FBI agent with the above evidence, 26 April 2009
I developed a custom document imaging solution (cloud computing) for a customer located in the Los Angeles area. Development went well for approximately one year. However, when a new IT manager was hired at the company where I was contracted things broke down. This man had a criminal record for computer hacking, which he admitted to me, and likely was receiving bribes to thwart my server deployments and to discredit me. This convicted hacker working for my customer in Los Angeles is named REDACTED. This man worked for the company during a five month period that began when I had scheduled server deployments, December 2007, and ended shortly after I gave up attempting to install my servers, April 2008.
After months of being lead on one fiasco after another by REDACTED, I hired a Microsoft certified technician who is also a doctor from Santa Barbara to accompany me on one of my visits to the company. My intention was to introduce an expert witness to corroborate and give statements to the company president regarding the resistance and impossible attitude that I was experiencing from REDACTED.
Before leaving to deliver the servers with my witness, I contacted REDACTED to confirm that the Internet service was up and running. The below conversation was between myself and REDACTED:

Upon returning from delivering these servers, this is what Dr. Mathis had to say.
Dr. Mathis letter
Conclusion:
I think that REDACTED, a short term employee of my customer, was acting under the protection of United States federal police. I now believe that the FBI had full knowledge of the above circumstance and may have even participated in the attacks against my business and customers. Various federal agencies have at their discretion money to pay agents provocateurs. I think that perhaps REDACTED may have somehow been hired by a federal agency to infiltrate the organization where my company was contracted to install servers and custom applications.
[UPDATE 2026: It has since been confirmed to me that the above referenced individual known as "Redacted" is a member of the CIA managed "Mexican Mafia" and now works directly with affiliates within their network in Hermosillo.]
Server Attack Logs:
These notes explain themselves and are merely an overview of an escalation of server attack events that took place during a window of time in the middle of 2008. Additionally, there were countless other security incidences that occurred after this report making it virtually impossible for me to stay in business. Supporting documentation and witness statements are below.

REDACTED, a four year old boy, threats against him left on voice mail, tape recording. The person leaving this message is referring to REDACTED, my girlfriend's four year old son. This clearly infers kidnap of a minor and threats of molestation. REDACTED of the FBI took no notice of this serious criminal act. It is also signifiant to note that the phone number where this message was left was located in a house where I was staying as a sort of safe house to escape the above persecution I had been experiencing in Santa Barbara. It was located 170 away from where four year old REDACTED was living, in Ventura. The "saw him in the street" statement was probably referencing REDACTED playing in the street. I was teaching him how to ride the bicycle that I had just bought him in the street in front of his home in Ventura just a few days prior to returning home, 170 miles away, and hearing this message. This means that someone saw me in Ventura playing in the street with REDACTED and managed to call a secret telephone number 170 miles away. Very creepy!

REDACTED witness statement:
My home, car, businesses were open to constant intrusion and attack throughout 2007-2011 with absolutely no police intervention or support. This, despite filing numerous local and federal police reports. This intrusion and personal type of violation continued until I left the United States in May 2011. In this accidental and rare instance my girlfriend, home alone in a dark house, recounts what these intrusions felt like and what happened to her on this night.
GhostProxy: entire business destroyed
This simple graph says it all. This business was receiving between 500,000 - 700,000 hits per day in 2007, with REDACTED paid subscribers and earning $ REDACTED per month in google advertisements alone. I had watched it grow year after year, with traffic increasing by 30%-40% per year, every year. The government along with their paid agent provocateurs managed to completely destroy this company in a matter months.
No mention is ever made of Bitcoin development work to the FBI because it was still a carefully guarded secret in 2009.
Yet, I had an enterprise to protect and many other projects were being threatened. At this point in history we were only discussing the Bitcoin project with our very closest of friends. Furthermore, in April 2009 BITCOIN HAD NO VALUE. We could not give them away. Countless Bitcoins were simply deleted in emails or tossed out by our friends and family. Bitcoin was in a similar status as to how eCoin/DNA is today and discussing Bitcoin with anyone in 2009 was a highly risky proposition.
In conclusion, the above evidence indicates a coordinated effort by sophisticated attackers who value highly being as invisible as possible while neutralizing their targets at all costs.
