The thread. One classic Satoshi clue is when he posted. His activity showed a consistent quiet band (a sleep gap) that researchers used to argue for a North American timezone — awkward for a supposedly Japanese or European creator.
Points toward / against Satoshi
This is the one thread you can test directly. Open the database’s Analytics → posting-time comparison, tick the real Satoshi account against cfb (his forum years) and Come-from-Beyond (his Qubic years), and read the quiet windows.
- If CFB’s “night” lines up with Satoshi’s, that’s a point toward.
- If they clash, that’s a point against.
Two cautions: Satoshi stopped posting in 2010 and CFB’s data is mostly 2012+, so you’re comparing different years; and people travel, change habits, and post from phones. A rhythm match is suggestive, never decisive.
Weight
Deliberately left to you. It’s real evidence, but soft, and we’d rather you read it than be told the answer.
