比特幣的造物主仍然是一個謎

記者加布里埃爾·蓋特豪斯（Gabriel Gatehouse）調查了硬幣背後的那個人，他以化名為“ satoshi nakamoto”，並試圖了解為什麼首先創建了貨幣。

A Channel 4 documentary is aiming to shed light on the elusive figure behind Bitcoin's inception.

頻道4紀錄片的目的是闡明比特幣啟動背後的難以捉摸的人物。

Journalist Gabriel Gatehouse investigates the man behind the coin, who goes by the pseudonym 'Satoshi Nakamoto' and tries to understand why the currency was created in the first place.

記者加布里埃爾·蓋特豪斯（Gabriel Gatehouse）調查了硬幣背後的那個人，他以化名為“ satoshi nakamoto”，並試圖了解為什麼首先創建了貨幣。

While there are almost no clues to Satoshi's identity, the former BBC journalist noticed that the anonymous figure used British English in his writing, rather than American English spelling.

雖然幾乎沒有Satoshi身份的線索，但這位前英國廣播公司的記者註意到，這位匿名人物在他的寫作中使用了英語，而不是美國英語拼寫。

In the first episode of Seeking Satoshi: The Mystery Bitcoin Creator, which was released on YouTube on Monday, Gabriel spoke to Mike Lorry, who claimed to have been there in the early days of crypto.

在尋求Satoshi：週一在YouTube上發行的神秘比特幣創作者的第一集中，Gabriel與Mike Lorry進行了交談，Mike Lorry聲稱在加密貨幣的早期就在那裡。

Mike claimed he could put the nameless founder down to 'one of a half dozen people' before he started rattling off names of potential candidates.

邁克聲稱，他可以將無名的創始人放到“六個人之一”之前，然後才開始拋棄潛在候選人的名字。

He claimed the elusive Satoshi could be any from the following selection of names: Hal Finney, Wei Dai, Nick Zabo, Ralph Merkle, Mike Lorrey or Adam Beck.

他聲稱，難以捉摸的Satoshi可以是以下名稱的選擇：Hal Finney，Wei Dai，Nick Zabo，Ralph Merkle，Mike Lorrey或Adam Beck。

Gabriel noted that the only British man on his list was indeed Adam, which would explain the British spellings.

加布里埃爾指出，名單上唯一的英國人確實是亞當，這將解釋英國的拼寫。

Meanwhile he later spotted another clue with links to the UK, as a Times headline buried in the Bitcoin source code.

同時，他後來發現了另一個帶有與英國鏈接的線索，這是一個泰晤士報的標題埋在比特幣源代碼中。

He said: 'At some point, I thought maybe I can crack this whole case by reading T-shirts, "Chancellor on The Brink of Second Bailout For Banks", this bland headline from The Times of London, Satoshi had buried it in the Bitcoin source code.

他說：“在某個時候，我認為也許我可以通過閱讀T卹，“在第二次救助銀行的邊緣上的總理”，這是倫敦時報的這個平淡的頭條新聞，Satoshi將其埋在比特幣源代碼中。

'It was a message in a bottle, from the very beginning Bitcoin coin was a political project.'

``這是一個瓶子裡的信息，從一開始的比特幣硬幣就是一個政治項目。''

Adam is a British cryptographer and CEO of Blockstream, which he co-founded in 2014.

亞當是Blockstream的英國密碼師兼首席執行官，他於2014年共同創立。

He invented Hashcash, which is used in the bitcoin mining process.

他發明了用於比特幣採礦過程中的Hashcash。

The broadcaster reached out to Adam, however after failing to get a response he flew to a conference that he was speaking at in Miami.

廣播公司與亞當伸出了聯繫，但是在沒有得到回應後，他飛往邁阿密在邁阿密講話的會議。

Sneaking into a VIP area after the talk, the journalist hoped to get a chance to speak to Adam but was quickly removed by staff.

演講結束後，記者偷偷溜進了VIP區域，希望有機會與Adam交談，但很快就被工作人員撤職。

As well as shedding light on Satoshi's true identity, the documentary aimed to understand crypto's political ambitions.

除了闡明薩托西的真實身份外，紀錄片旨在了解加密貨幣的政治野心。

Gabriel said: 'The first anyone heard of Bitcoin was in October 2008. It was the financial crisis the markets were in meltdown, someone posted a paper on a internet forum called the cryptography mailing list.

加布里埃爾說：“第一個聽說比特幣的人是在2008年10月。這是市場正在崩潰的金融危機，有人在互聯網論壇上發布了一篇論文，名為“密碼學郵件”列表。

'They said they invested a new sort of money, a kind of digital gold that could be sent over the internet, cutting out the banks.'

“他們說，他們投資了一種新的錢，一種可以通過互聯網發送的數字黃金，削減了銀行。”

The documentary suggested a potential conspiracy among Silicon Valley elites to obscure the true identity of Satoshi and to undermine democracy.

這部紀錄片提出了矽谷精英之間的潛在陰謀，以掩蓋薩托西的真實身份並破壞民主。

Seeking Satoshi: The Mystery Bitcoin Creator is set to air on YouTube as five, 20-minute films, before being stitched together and broadcast on TV as a feature-length documentary at the beginning of March.

尋求Satoshi：神秘的比特幣創作者將在YouTube上以五張20分鐘的電影播放，然後在3月初被縫合在一起並在電視上播出，並在電視上播放。

This release follows HBO’s documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, which claimed that Bitcoin developer Peter Todd might be Nakamoto.

該版本遵循HBO的紀錄片《貨幣電氣：比特幣之謎》，該神秘聲稱比特幣開發商彼得·托德（Peter Todd）可能是納卡本（Nakamoto）。

Todd is not among the usual suspects alleged to have launched the first decentralised cryptocurrency in 2008 - but a filmmaker says his credentials and early involvement in Bitcoin 'line up' with what we know about the elusive Satoshi.

托德（Todd）並不是據稱在2008年推出了第一次分散的加密貨幣的通常嫌疑人之一 - 但電影製片人說，他的證書和早期參與了比特幣“排隊”，我們對難以捉摸的Satoshi的了解。

The 39-year-old vehemently denied being the anonymous founder hours before 'Money Electric: the Bitcoin Mystery' aired, dismissing the claims as 'crazy theories'.

這位39歲的年輕人強烈否認是匿名創始人，幾個小時之前，“金錢電氣：比特幣之謎”播出，將索賠視為“瘋狂的理論”。

Peter Todd was sensationally suggested to be the mastermind behind Bitcoin in the new HBO doc

He has been involved in Bitcoin since its founding as a core developer, however, and acknowledges having 'deep insights' into Bitcoin in the early days.

自從比特幣成立以來，他一直參與比特幣，但是​​他承認在早期就對比特幣有了“深刻的見解”。

In the closing scenes of the documentary, he says, 'Well yeah, I'm Satoshi Nakamoto' - apparently an expression of solidarity with the anonymous founder's privacy bid.

他說，在紀錄片的閉幕場景中，“是的，我是satoshi nakamoto' - 顯然是對匿名創始人的隱私競標的聲援。

Filmmaker Cullen Hoback told the New York Times he was convinced that Todd was behind the incredibly successfully cryptocurrency, however.

電影製片人庫倫·霍巴克（Cullen Hoback）告訴《紐約時報》，他堅信託德（Todd）是令人難以置信的成功加密貨幣的背後。

'I'm very convinced,' he said.

他說：“我很相信。”

'Based on the evidence, I believe Peter Todd was Satoshi. He may have let others in on the secret, but everything lines up with him.'

While Todd is not among those usually named, his involvement in the early days of Bitcoin make him a viable candidate, followers say.

追隨者說，儘管托德不是通常命名的人，但他參與了比特幣的早期，使他成為可行的候選人。

Castle Island Ventures創始合夥人Nic Carter告訴Politico：“從技術角度來看，他是最重要的比特幣之一。
