The location where the paper in question is stored is as follows. First, in Finder, follow the folders in the order of 'Macintosh HD' → 'System' → 'Library' → 'Image Capture' → 'Devices' to find 'VirtualScanner.app'.



Next, 'Click with two fingers' or 'Click while holding down the Control key' on 'VirtualScanner.app' to call the menu and click 'Show package contents'.



When the 'Contents' folder is displayed, follow 'Contents' → 'Resources' and double-click 'simpledoc.pdf' in the 'Resources' folder.



Then, the Bitcoin paper 'Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System' written by Satoshi Nakamoto opens.



If you are too lazy to navigate through the folders, you can also open the article file with the command below.
[code]open /System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app/Contents/Resources/simpledoc.pdf[/code]



The image shown above was taken with an iMac installed with 'macOS Ventura 13.2.1' in the editorial department. According to overseas media Waxy.org, the existence of the thesis file could not be confirmed on 'macOS High Sierra', but could be confirmed on macOS after 'macOS Mojave'.

In addition, a photo file named cover.jpg is saved in the 'Resources' folder where the paper is saved, and it is also known that this photo was taken at Treasure Island in San Francisco. However, it is unclear why these files are stored in macOS from the beginning. In addition, the use of 'VirtualScanner.app', which contained papers and photos, has not been clarified.
