Ran Satoshi's 2008-09 $BTC code through AI to hunt for coding style matches
Closest match? Wei Dai's crypto++ library
Gavin & Corey rank high but that's because they literally worked with Satoshi's codebase
Nick Szabo shows some overlap (only JS publicly available)
Greg Maxwell & Peter Todd don't even crack top 20 on non-$BTC repos. Adam Back sits at 13th.
Paul Le Roux uses similar Hungarian notation but different conventions (Microsoft style, tabs vs spaces)
Plot twist: Satoshi literally copy-pasted Wei Dai's code for sha.cpp but switched tabs to spaces 💀
AI makes this detective work stupid easy now. If you're into $BTC history, run your own tests
