A fresh analysis of Bitcoin's original code by Amir Taaki suggests that Satoshi Nakamoto's coding style may provide valuable clues about his true identity. Taaki claims that Nakamoto's code was unconventional and defied contemporary coding practices. Nakamoto's use of locks, Hungarian notation, and avoidance of objects in favor of recursive functions point to a background in a field like engineering or physics rather than traditional software development. Taaki believes that a detailed analysis of Nakamoto's code could potentially reveal his identity, but no one in the community has taken up this task yet. Taaki also acknowledges that many Bitcoin developers have not pursued this line of inquiry due to respect for Nakamoto's anonymity and the demands of their current projects.
