Pete Rizzo posted the findings from the COPA Vs Craig Wright court case.
NEW: Adam Back’s complete email history with Satoshi Nakamoto was entered in the court records today
Email #1: Adam and Satoshi discuss #Bitcoin 4 months before its official launch
Email #2: Adam’s reply Here Adam suggests that Satoshi investigate a paper called “B-money” by Wei Dei. Dei was a well known cryptographer working on digital cash, and is a frequently cited candidate for Satoshi.
Email #3: Satoshi thanks Adam Here they discuss the B-money idea, and we can see Satoshi admitting he had never read the paper.
Email #4: Adam still hasn’t read the white paper
A day after first emailing Satoshi, Adam writes back apologizing for not reading the paper. He then directs Satoshi to another paper called “Micromint.” I’ve never heard this paper discussed.
Email #5: The final email Satoshi thanks Adam again and let’s him know about #Bitcoin’s formal software release. According to Adam’s public statements, he wouldn’t look at Bitcoin again until late 2012.
From the legal proceedings, even more emails came to light by Martti Malmi
