Yet another money grab scheme?

This people never cease to amaze me of how easy they give it up their money to such schemes.

The news was surely just published to allow yet another "Bitcoin Jesus" to collect money under the disguise of a noble cause.

The Bitcoin user base is becoming a whole pathetic mass of fools ready to provide money to fictional entities.

This coming from a guy who very readily accepted 2BTC for 10 minutes "work" Grin

Not so critical when you are on the recieving end?

Why don't you put it to good use and send it to an old, ill man looking after his 93 year old mother?

LOL - I suppose we could view this as being a positive though - the BTC user base is expanding and so, as a sample of the population from which it is drawn, is more accurately representing that population Cheesy

Who do you believe is the fictional entity? Andreas, Dorian, someone else?

Gah, I'm not seeing any replies to my request/suggestion to get cash over to Dorian asap.

As I said this isn't Western Union - this is Bitcoin!

Cash out the BTC collected so far, someone write a cheque and deliver it to his house. Today.

Better yet, if anyone knows the journalist who bought him lunch, try to get in contact with him as a way form a line of trust direct to Dorian. Let him know the people from "bitcom" are mad about the way he has been abused by newsweek and want to help

There is already over $13k - cash out $10k now and get it to him.

It would be more than awesome for bitcoin to say we collect $10k in a few hours and a few hours later it was in his hands.

Isn't that part of the the whole concept of bitcoin?

cut him a cheque?
so why rush to cash out today, then use a banking form of money transmission (the cheque) that takes days to process.
far easier to do a face to face exchange for dollar, then knock on his door

People are so naive...

I know, right? Believing everything they hear without seeing any real evidence to support it. It's crazy!

She's a senior reporter at Newsweek. She spent months chasing the leads. Its him. I'm not naïve, just really grounded.

Oh! She's a reporter! I didn't know that. Well we all know reporters never lie, so clearly this dude is Satoshi.

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

"senior" reporter

lol

Besides, she's not even a reporter at Newsweek, she's a freelance journalist (according to wikipedia).

This is a stupid idea.

If this guy is Satoshi, he has plenty of bitcoins and he's not spending any of them which is because he doesn't care much about money and the last thing he wants is MORE bitcoins.

Satoshi was worried about the attention and scrutiny that he was going to get from governments and media from the moment people started to use Bitcoin for more "dangerous" activities than buying model train sets.

This was his second from last post before leaving the forum: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29280

He may have never cashed out any of those coins simply because he didn't want the scrutiny that would come from outing himself as the founder of Bitcoin. He is a private man and just wants to be left alone.

This donation idea is brilliant because it will allow Satoshi the creator to help Dorian Satoshi, the innocent victim without having to ever admit that he was the actual creator of Bitcoin.

If this guy is Satoshi, he has plenty of bitcoins and he's not spending any of them which is because he doesn't care much about money and the last thing he wants is MORE bitcoins. What a waste of $15,000 which will probably sit in his wallet and never get spent.

If he is not Satoshi, it is apparent that he just wants to be left alone and might not even know anything about bitcoin. These donations are just going to draw more attention to him when the inevitable news article is written about it.

No. It is a great idea. Why? Dorian isn't Satoshi. He is a victim of the press. We have a chance to show that we are "above" the press in making something "wrong" in the world "right" by helping out Dorian. It shows that Bitcoin can be used for great good in the world. The press makes it out like all it is used for is kiddie porn and drugs. So this will help change the world's viewpoint. Plus he will be getting the funds in USD, as it has already been stated.

May want to actually read the proposal before passing judgement. He will receive the donations in US dollars, not in Bitcoin. He already has the full attention of the media, and he also has some rather large medical bills. Maybe let him decide whether to keep or donate the funds?

I think the real Satoshi should donate like 100BTC to Dorian... If he owns like 1MBTC that's just a 0,0001% Grin

I've already donated myself as well...

Yes, but he should donate much more! Maybe 10,000BTC or even 100,000BTC or however much Dorian could need for the rest of his life including some for his children.

This is the perfect way for the real Satoshi to help an innocent man (himself) who had his life ruined, whilst still proving to the world that Dorian is not Satoshi... Grin

But if Dorian was Satoshi he could just move coins out of his own wallet into the "dorian" donation wallet. So it really doesn't prove anything does it?

Yes, but that's the beauty of it!

Satoshi is now able to withdraw some of his huge funds without having to "out himself".

The "real Satoshi" is just helping out a poor old man who had his life ruined by a reckless irresponsible reporter willing to do anything to further her career. Wink

I'm just pointing out that she is no fly by night reporter. Yes, reporters do lie, but in this case I don't believe that to be a lie.
You guys are forgetting, if its him hes worth nearly 1B USD. Hes got to take precautions before fully coming out.
