一部新纪录片声称“揭开了”比特币创造者的面纱。那么，他现在在哪里？

一部新纪录片声称“揭露”了中本聪，这位神秘而难以捉摸的人物被认为创造了加密货币比特币。

Filmmaker Cullen Hoback, who previously claimed to have identified the individual behind the conspiracy theory movement QAnon, alleges in his latest documentary that Canadian developer Peter Todd created the cryptocurrency in 2008 using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Hoback's evidence largely hinges on a forum thread from December 2010 in which Todd appears to be “finishing Satoshi's sentences”. The chain of comments details a method for prioritising transactions based on the fee paid, which as WIRED explained, Todd would later go on to add to Bitcoin as a contributing developer.

电影制片人卡伦·霍巴克 (Cullen Hoback) 此前声称已经确定了阴谋论运动 QAnon 背后的个人身份，他在最新的纪录片中声称，加拿大开发商彼得·托德 (Peter Todd) 在 2008 年使用化名中本聪 (Satoshi Nakamoto) 创建了这种加密货币。 Hoback 的证据很大程度上取决于 2010 年 12 月的论坛帖子，其中 Todd 似乎正在“完成中本聪的句子”。该评论链详细介绍了一种根据支付的费用对交易进行优先级排序的方法，正如《连线》杂志所解释的那样，托德后来作为贡献开发者将其添加到比特币中。

In the film's captivating crescendo, Hoback confronts Todd with his theory, producing evidence that he believes supports his argument. The Canadian developer and cryptocurrency expert initially laughs off the accusation, however, the documentary ends on a somewhat ambiguous note, with Todd stating, “Well yeah, I'm Satoshi Nakamoto.”

在影片引人入胜的高潮中，霍巴克向托德提出了他的理论，并提供了他认为支持自己论点的证据。这位加拿大开发商和加密货币专家最初对这一指控一笑置之，然而，纪录片的结尾有些含糊，托德说：“好吧，我是中本聪。”

Since the documentary aired on HBO, Todd has vehemently denied the allegations, describing Hoback's claims as not only “dumb, but dangerous”. He alleges that Hoback spoke to him under the guise of creating a film about the history of Bitcoin, not the identity of its creator.

自这部纪录片在 HBO 播出以来，托德强烈否认了这些指控，称霍巴克的说法不仅“愚蠢，而且危险”。他声称霍巴克以制作一部关于比特币历史的电影为幌子与他交谈，而不是其创造者的身份。

“For the record, I am not Satoshi,” Todd told WIRED. “I think Cullen made the Satoshi accusation for marketing. He needed a way to get attention for his film.”

“郑重声明，我不是中本聪，”托德告诉《连线》杂志。 “我认为卡伦对中本聪的指控是出于营销目的。他需要一种方法来吸引人们对他的电影的关注。”

In response to the film's allegations, Todd has reportedly gone into hiding, fearing scrutiny and citing safety as a major concern. With his ‘supposed’ involvement in the creation of the coin now up for discussion, Todd believes he is at risk of harassment and intimidation, most notably due to the enormous fortune believed to belong to Satoshi. Whoever operates the pseudonym, if it is indeed a pseudonym at all, would be on track to become one of the world's richest people—a title Todd plainly rejects.

据报道，为了回应影片的指控，托德躲藏起来，担心受到审查并以安全为主要担忧。由于托德“所谓”参与了代币的创造现在正在讨论中，托德认为他面临着骚扰和恐吓的风险，尤其是由于据信属于中本聪的巨额财富。无论谁使用这个笔名，如果它确实是一个笔名，都将有望成为世界上最富有的人之一——托德明确拒绝这一头衔。

“Obviously, falsely claiming that ordinary people of ordinary wealth are extraordinarily rich exposes them to threats like robbery and kidnapping,” Todd told WIRED. “Not only is the question dumb, it's dangerous. Satoshi obviously didn't want to be found, for good reasons, and no one should help people trying to find Satoshi.”

托德告诉《连线》杂志：“显然，错误地声称拥有普通财富的普通人非常富有，会让他们面临抢劫和绑架等威胁。” “这个问题不仅愚蠢，而且很危险。中本聪显然不想被发现，这是有充分理由的，任何人都不应该帮助那些试图找到中本聪的人。”

Hoback, on the other hand, is confident in his assertions. The filmmaker suggested that Todd's denial was all part of the plan, stating that “while of course we can't outright say he is Satoshi, I think that we make a very strong case”.

另一方面，霍巴克对自己的主张充满信心。电影制片人表示托德的否认是计划的一部分，并表示“虽然我们当然不能直接说他是中本聪，但我认为我们提出了一个非常有力的论据”。

“Having had some experience with trolls and people who are trying to obfuscate their trails, it's always a challenge to find the grains of truth or the intentions behind their actions,” Hoback told Documentary Magazine. “They tend to throw so much shit at the wall that nothing sticks, but within all that is some truth, and that's what they're trying to hide. The game is finding those pieces and throwing away the rest. The signal and the noise.”

霍巴克告诉《纪录片》杂志：“我对巨魔和那些试图混淆其踪迹的人有过一些经验，但要找到事实的真相或他们行为背后的意图始终是一个挑战。” “他们倾向于往墙上扔太多的屎，以至于没有任何东西粘住，但在所有这些里面都有一些真相，而这就是他们试图隐藏的东西。游戏就是找到这些碎片并扔掉其余的。信号和噪声。”

Earlier this year, Australian computer scientist Dr Craig Wright claimed to be the man behind the Satoshi pseudonym, however, his suggestions of ownership were shot down by a high court judge. Across a two-month trial in London, Wright faced extensive questioning over his involvement with the digital coin's production, with expert witnesses accusing the computer scientist of fabricating a significant quantity of the documents provided as evidence. In handing down his verdict, Mr Justice Mellor said the evidence that Dr Wright did not create Bitcoin was ‘overwhelming’.

今年早些时候，澳大利亚计算机科学家克雷格·赖特博士声称自己是中本聪化名的幕后黑手，然而，他的所有权建议被高等法院法官驳回。在伦敦为期两个月的审判中，赖特因其参与数字硬币的生产而面临广泛质疑，专家证人指责计算机科学家伪造了大量作为证据提供的文件。梅勒法官在宣判时表示，赖特博士并未创造比特币的证据是“压倒性的”。

“However, having considered all the evidence and submissions presented to me in this trial, I've reached the conclusion that the evidence is overwhelming,” Justice Mellor said via The Guardian. “First, Dr. Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin white paper. Second, Dr Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in the period 2008 to 2011. Third, Dr Wright is not the person who created the bitcoin system. And, fourth, he is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin software.”

“然而，在考虑了本次审判中向我提供的所有证据和意见后，我得出的结论是，证据是压倒性的，”梅勒法官通过《卫报》表示。 “首先，赖特博士不是比特币白皮书的作者。其次，赖特博士不是2008年至2011年期间以中本聪为笔名进行操作的人。第三，赖特博士不是创建比特币系统的人。第四，他不是比特币软件初始版本的作者。”

Irrespective of the truth, Todd now faces mounting public pressure. Despite denying the claims and even producing evidence that appears to show him occupied at roughly the same time that Satoshi was posting to the BitcoinTalk forum, it's his name on the line. The only other viable option for the role of Satoshi is Len Sassaman, a cryptographer who has previously been linked to the creation of the coin. Sassaman tragically took his own life in 2011, shortly after the disappearance of Satoshi, leaving many loose ends open and questions unanswered.

不管真相如何，托德现在面临着越来越大的公众压力。尽管否认了这些说法，甚至提供了证据，似乎表明他在中本聪在 BitcoinTalk 论坛上发帖的同一时间很忙，但在线上的却是他的名字。扮演中本聪角色的唯一可行选择是 Len Sassaman，他是一位密码学家，此前曾与该货币的创建有关。 2011 年，中本聪失踪后不久，萨萨曼悲惨地结束了自己的生命，留下了许多悬而未决的问题和悬而未决的问题。

In reality, Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity remains as elusive as ever, and Hoback's decision to spotlight Todd could merely be a tactic to drive viewers to his latest production. Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery adds another name to what is already a long list of potential suspects without providing a categoric answer for whether Todd is or isn't the man behind the moniker. His assertations, while backed up by a solid

事实上，中本聪的真实身份仍然像以前一样难以捉摸，霍巴克决定关注托德可能只是一种策略，旨在吸引观众观看他的最新作品。 《金钱电力：比特币之谜》为已经很长的潜在嫌疑人名单添加了另一个名字，但没有明确回答托德是否是这个名字背后的人。他的主张虽然有坚实的依据
