Fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
Only just started reading but bookmarked for later.
I'm guessing "an important trial in the UK" refers to the current COPA vs CSW case?

He certainly was! I was able to dig up this little gem from his testimony at the trial:
Note: The "proceedings" mentioned above refer to an earlier CSW trial, the Kleiman proceedings.

A window into the origins of Bitcoin.
Some things that I found interesting after a quick read:
-
It took Satoshi about 18 months of work to get to roughly the first version of Bitcoin.
-
Satoshi tried to buy bitcoin dot com first, but it was not available since a professional domain speculator bought it first. I wonder how Roger Ver ended up buying the domain, or if Satoshi was referring to him here.
-
It appears very clear that he was doing this work by himself, and then started to contact other people, one by one through email, and by groups through email lists. Based on the emails, Bitcoin really doesn't seem to have been created by a group.
-
Satoshi mainly used Windows and was not great with Linux, but used MinGW as the main compiler (MinGW provides GCC to Windows, which is a Linux compiler), and only the Microsoft compiler (mentioned as VC) for debugging.
