Satoshi's possible home IP address actually did leak shortly after Bitcoin's release, though it wasn't realized until years later.

(It definitely may not be him and might instead be a random early user. But I think there's a moderate chance it's him.)

(I don't advocate attempting to find and publish his name and address, since it'd make his life difficult, but it's still very interesting in the abstract as a curious unsolved mystery for all these years despite the number of eyes on it.)
