 Did everyone in the cryptography mailing list always use 's' instead of 'z', though? "Satoshi" is quoting Hal Finney here, and Finney was American...

Is anyone familiar with either of these email addresses being known to have been used by Satoshi? If so, why the change? 

Also, @Compromised, what is your source for these documents?

 I belive they were used in the trial against Craig Wright. 

There is several citations of the crypto mailing list where Satoshi uses Bristish English as opposed to American English. This is common knowledge.

 But in your common knowledge, did Hal Finney, who is allegedly quoted here, use British English too?

▲ ▼

 huh?

 If you look at the fourth email dated January 10 2009, "Satoshi" appears to be quoting Hal Finney's overview, perhaps even cutting and pasting it into his own email to Adam. My point is, Hal Finney, as an American, probably did not write in British English, so the 'z' in 'decentralization' may not point to an error on the part of "Satoshi". In fact, I would think it weird if Hal Finney's quote by "Satoshi" here used the British spelling with an 's'.
