Still seems fishy to me. The real Satoshi could have proved that he couldn't be ...

What's in it for the real Satoshi in that? By the way, Satoshi's old accunt was used to deny it.

I know that, but that doesn't prove anything.

- If Dorian was the real Satoshi, he would of course have used his 'real' account to try to disprove the claim.

- If not, the only to way to know for sure that he is not the guy is for the other 'real' Satoshi to prove that it couldn't be Dorian.

Simple as that. I agree that in the second case, the real Satoshi would not have a lot of incentive to prove the mistake. I'm not a conspiracy nut, I'm just saying that it has not been proven that Dorian is not the guy.

How exactly could Satoshi prove that he isn't Dorian Nakamoto?

How exactly could Satoshi prove that he isn't Dorian Nakamoto without disclosing his real identity?

By proving he is somebody else?

Not saying he would, just saying it would work.

Fair enough. :) I should have asked how he could prove it without revealing his actual identity.

Proving negatives is easy. /s

He did. The real satoshi posted a comment on an account that only he could control noting that Dorian was not the real Satoshi.

Which in itself isn't disproof either, technically. If I didn't want people to find me I would do that too.
