On January 8, Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin source code. And on line 495 of uibase.cpp the following line exists:
m_staticText14 = new wxStaticText(this, wxID_ANY, wxT(“Enter the recipient’s IP address (e.g. 123.45.6.7) for online transfer with comments and confirmation, \nor bitcoin address (e.g. 1NS17iag9jJgTHD1VXjvLCEnZuQ3rJED9L) if recipient is not online.”), wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, 0);
It’s the example Bitcoin address that would be used for the demo, which if anyone has noticed starts with the letters NS:
Satoshi sent an address with the same prefix to Hal Finney just four days later and specifically pointed out that it started with his initials while adding that addresses could be brute forced with vanity names. Suffice to say, this probably wasn’t “just by chance” like he writes since the demo uses the same tactic.
This pattern was the stepping stone for a major post I made last November, in which I argue that Satoshi left a secret message by brute forcing a series of Bitcoin addresses right after emailing Hal. What I hadn’t noticed at the time, however, is that the example Bitcoin address that Satoshi published on January 8th was not only brute forced with his initials but also timestamped. The source document, for example, is dated January 7, 2009 and the Bitcoin address is: 1NS17iag9jJgTHD1VXjvLCEnZuQ3rJED9L. That’s: Nakamoto Satoshi 1/7.
The significance of this is that it bolsters the likelihood that Satoshi would brute force something beyond just 2-letter initials into a Bitcoin address. If on the very first day of the release he’d do initials AND a timestamp, then it’s not a leap to say that JD2M (Jack Dorsey 2 Mint plaza) was intentionally placed in an address like I’ve said.
