RE: The canon of Satoshi

For some reason, I missed the fact that you were the editor of Kicking the Hornet’s Nest. Great work! Thanks for doing it and for keeping it up to date.

Editorial suggestion: include those questionable emails in brackets or different font, with an explanation as to the questions about their authenticity, much the way modern Bible translations deal with differences between Masoretic texts and the Septuagint, etc.

Sort:  

I decided I will include the emails with editorial comment (like you suggest).

Also, thought you might be interested...
I did some more digging (see https://stacker.news/items/694651 for write up). The upshot:
. the Wei Dai emails seem legit to me
. Matonis email...I'm still not sure
. I reached out to Dai, Matonis, and NakamotoInstitute.org
. heard back from NakamotoInstitute, essentially they said they had a policy since 2014 to not include personal emails for fear of possible privacy issues and/or accidental doxing, but that they're reconsidering now that 10 years have passed and many emails are in court records

Thanks for the suggestion. That is the way I'm leaning...include but with an explanation. Still going to try to dig a bit first though.
