Satoshi / Dorian Nakamoto received donations in the amount of 28 thousand dollars in compensation for the attention of journalists

The other day on Habré there was an interesting news that a journalist from Newsweek allegedly revealed the identity of the creator of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Of course, found by journalist Satoshi Nakamoto (now named Dorian Nakamoto) denied any involvement in cryptocurrency. In general, it is unlikely that anyone would confirm this fact, the denial in this case is the best strategy.

However, journalists and curious people do not give Dorian Nakamoto a pass, literally. And in order to somehow compensate this person for all these inconveniences, a wallet was opened for him (the head of the security division of Blockchain.info) for donations.

Interestingly, in a very short period of time, more than 1,800 transfers were received for this wallet, totaling 44 Bitcoins ($ 28,000 at the current exchange rate). According to Andres Antonopolus, the creator of the wallet, even if Nakamoto refuses to transfer the money, they will be given as a voluntary donation to a human rights organization called the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Conversion of cryptocurrency units into dollars is planned for late March.

It is worth noting that Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of cryptocurrency, is considered to be a bitcoin millionaire, who owns part of the bitcoins that were nominated at the dawn of cryptocurrency. But in any case, the initiative is interesting, so we will wait for the reaction of Dorian / Satoshi Nakamoto - he will accept these donations, or not.
