Meet Satoshi. From the UK?

Bitcoin was a 5pm to 3am job?

One of my favourite lectures of the year, is where I outline how blockchains are created and in the application of cryptocurrencies. For me, it is just a way of showing a future which is based on trusted tokens, and where public-key encryption is used to make everything trustworthy. And, of course, I start the lecture with the story of Satoshi Nakamoto and the mystery of who they actually were. And it’s a story too about Hal Finney.

And so recently new work shed more light on Satoshi with an analysis around the Wayback Machine on Bitcointalk posts, emails, code commits, and related data [here]:

This included 742 posts over 206 days, and which ended on 13 Dec 2010:

By analysing the times of the activity we can see that Satoshi may have been sleeping from 4am to 2pm (UK time). If we take 4pm UK time as the time he may have started his work (approx 9am), there may be a seven-hour difference, and which would place him around US Pacific (PST).
