Topic: [2014-03-06] VICE - Has Satoshi Nakamoto Been Unmasked? (Read 2093 times)

Ah it feels good to be on, again!  BLOODYHURRAY!!!  This is not the real story!  Short Version:  My name is Jim Spellman.  I am a average joe. I have other inventions out in the world today disrupting old ways by the biggest in Silicon Valley.  I did research in 2006 and discovered the Blockchain.  I researched federal currency laws for another year and found virtual tokens legal.  I theorized a virtual token during 2007.  I spent a year in Phoenix as a cab driver meeting customers to find a coder to build my Bitcoin. Out of all the programmers i met, no one knew crptography language, until i met Satoshi Nakamoto.  Satoshi was shocked that a taxi driver would even know anything about Blockchain.  We talked more, we theorized,  we planned the building of the Bitcoin platform. We got to work in March 2008! We presented a white paper to the crypto world in November 2008. In Jan. 2009, We presented to the world a working model ready. Some of Satoshi's friends helped in beginning platform processes. In 2011, Satoshi, got bored acting like me a flaming brit, and with some health concerns and my deteriorating eyesight, we decided to ask Gavin Andreissen to run bitcoin and follow our protocols of rules.  Now after the fiasco of journalists in March 2014, Satoshi sent me a copy of all paperwork and 24,636 mined 50 Satoshi PGP keys.  I have since locked everything up in a special blockchain vault on a new invention. Can't spend until Bitcoin is a complete success.  I will know when that is when.  To clear up some notions:  Satoshi built the Bitcoin for Jim Spellman's project on NDA procedures. I have a 2nd part to Bitcoin still to come along with videos and writings, diagrams soon to make it mainstream proof.  More technologies to add to Blockchain and Sidechains. Satoshi Nakamoto is a great mathematician, coder,father and a honorable warrior!  Satoshi is American Japanese.  BITCOIN was built in Arizona and California. We fuck with you with "Brit" humuor. He is very much alive and i talked to him a few months ago.  Bitcoin has not worked completely by plan and Satoshi is a little upset with me today.  Also do not sell our writings, as someone has recently done.  They're our writings!! Unethical!  I will not pull 1 PGP key to prove, until correct time to spend them. Satoshi is everywhere!  He just does not want to deal with the press, gov., or anyone else.  That is my job as it is my project. The keys severely locked up, so we won't be donating any.  You can donate to me, SotoshiWizz if you would like, as we are living on very little to keep the integrity of the platform in check. I am a American with a clean background check. I wouldn't ruin my reputation for looking like a troll, but i did build BITCOIN!!

Are you serious?  The guy that can't even write properly , the way he talks , this is Satoshi?

Fair point. I'm just trying to figure this out myself. Compared to past attempts to ID Satoshi, I think this claim is much, much stronger. My gut tells me it's him (and I'm very sad for him, from what I'm reading. I wish/hope everyone gives him the privacy he wants.)

That's why he used tor

Keep in mind he chose his "Bitcoin name" in 2008 when he published his paper. Long before bitcoin actually existed, much less became a big deal. So privacy may not have been a big deal at first, and would have gradually grown into a bigger deal by degrees over time. By then, he couldn't change his online name. All he could do is hide in plain sight.

unmasked but already goxed!

The fake one , yes , he has been unmasked , the real Satoshi Nakamoto , no:).

No

Cue Geraldo in five, four, three, two ….

this...

Very interesting read... Quite and humble genius is how I would imagine inventor of Bitcoin to be (obviously he is a bit more complex than my imagination).

Soooo..some lady at Newsweek managed to do what so many others failed to do for years.

Kinda reminds me of how a mainstream news guy managed to "find" Bin Laden.

So he went through all the trouble of concealing his identity. Yet he neglected not to use his real name?

Oh really...
