If Satoshi can't configure Tor correctly how is Joe Blow supposed to figure it out?


or Dread Pirate Roberts


If the Tor leak thing is true, this could add to the evidence for the common speculation that Satoshi is a collective pseudonym.


how so?


I think the implication he is trying to make is this:

If it was a collective of people it is(might be) more likely that one of them is incompetent(and didn't configure TOR properly) where-as if it was a single competent/careful individual there's a smaller chance of a TOR mis-configuration and resulting IP-address leak.

I don't think it lends much credence to the 'multiple entities' theory at all personally, but that's the best I could come up with. Feel free to correct.


thanks - makes sense
