Martti Malmi introduces himself to Satoshi Nakamoto as the “trickster from the anti-state.com forum”. “I would like to help with Bitcoin,” writes the Finnish computer scientist in an email to the Bitcoin founder in 2009. He responds promptly and is happy about the offer, praises Malmi’s understanding of Bitcoin and some time later gives him administrative rights for Bitcoin .org. A partnership is created that is intended to last – until Satoshi disappears forever.
The Finn recently published his correspondence with Satoshi Nakamoto on Github in the trial against Craig Wright. In over 260 emails, Satoshi and Malmi discussed the development of Bitcoin and brainstormed new ideas. But how important was Trickstar for the oldest cryptocurrency – and how much Bitcoin does the computer scientist actually still own? BTC-ECHO has read the correspondence. These are the details.
