Not directly relevant but it got me thinking:

Has anyone tried to use the source code and white paper to figure out who Satoshi Nakamoto might be?

If you can figure it out from binaries, surely there is a lot more info. And you have the github and the blogosphere to compare.

I bet everything he has ever done including the Bitcoin Whitepaper has been analysed very precisely. Satoshi must be an expert in hiding.

There are allegations that Satoshi may have accidentally slipped up and leaked IP address that was not a Tor exit-node or other anonymous-proxy.

Could either be Satoshi fucking up and not using Tor all the time (has happened to other 'anonymous' entities) or perhaps they needed a clearnet connection for some reason and managed to use another internet connection not attached to any identifiers that would lead back to them despite that.
