Dorian Nakamoto Thanks Bitcoin Donors on YouTube
Dorian Nakamoto, the California man who is Satoshi Nakamoto – but not the one the media is looking for – has appeared in a YouTube video thanking the bitcoin community for its support.
Bitcoin entrepreneur Andreas Antonopoulos organized the fundraiser as partial compensation for Nakamoto’s recent troubles, after a Newsweek cover story ‘revealed’ him to be bitcoin’s mysterious originator.
The appeal has raised over 47 BTC (roughly $23,000) and Nakamoto says he plans to keep his “bitcoin account” open and become a user.
