and who had experience with this sort of thing.

He knows how to use AI programs and machine learning.

And Dylan and I, as a team, began collecting the archives of these cryptography mailing lists.

We merged them into one big database and made it searchable so that we could then compare Satoshi's corpus of writings with it.

That's right.

I wanted to establish that no one else but Adam Back was doing these same things in his writing that Satoshi was doing.

So we conducted three analyses.

In one of the analyses, we compiled all the words that don't have synonyms that Satoshi uses.

And synonym-less words tend to be technical words.

So that would weed out common words that people use.

And then we ran those words against our database and found that Adam Back, among these thousands of other cryptographers, was the one who used those Satoshi words the most.

So that was one.

Then we drilled down on hyphenation.

And with the aid of an AI program, we determined that Satoshi had made more than $300,000

grammatical hyphenation errors.

And we found that Adam Back had the most matches for these hyphenation errors.

He matched 67 of those separate hyphenation errors.

He was by far an outlier

Yeah, and then we ran an analysis of these writing ticks that I'd picked up on in Satoshi's prose.

And basically, we applied a filter for each of these Satoshi writing ticks to see how many cypherpunks displayed that writing tick, so to speak.
