I actually met Len in 2010/2011 when he was visiting the Dartmouth cs dept! We talked about noodlers being an excellent fountain pen ink and some stuff around functional programming that overlap with the language base security ideas Sergey Bratus and Meredith Patterson went on to popularize.

I also have a distinct memory that he had a very well decorated walking cane.

Edit: I do think that this post, while having valid circumstantial evidence, is at best circumstantial. And it’s more valuable to celebrate those who have passed by way of recognizing the achievements we can genuinely attribute to them

I worked with him at PGP in 2000.

Do you have any opinion about whether he could be Satoshi?

Dunno, Len was a crazy smart dude, and total crypto geek. That said, I didn't work with him much, I was just handed off to his project for a few weeks while waiting for one of mine to ramp back up.

I guess the best way to sum it up is that if he was Satoshi, i wouldnt be shocked.

Also, sux hes gone.

Just checked in with a coworker/friend who was there with me. He also wouldn’t be surprised if Len was satoshi
