I'm guessing you're the Pankkake from Bitcointalk?


How would you know that? Someone could easily spread the coins across many addresses.


A lot of people on the Bitcointalk forums have made educated guesses, the fact is he still works on his business and charges for subscription to his blog, I doubt he has amassed the largest stash of Bitcoins in the world.

His estimation accounts for the assets he owns, same method as for the fiat billionnaires.

For the other question, there is only one pankkake.

Just another example of how unnecessary coupling is thwarting new uses.


Not exactly what you want, but perhaps something like this might help?

    export GNUPGHOME=/tmp/something
    gpg --verify ...
    rm -rf $GNUPGHOME
    unset GNUPGHOME


No, it would see \:
