Topic: Another *Potential* Identifying Piece of Evidence on Satoshi (Read 8507 times)

So I was briefly messing around with the Bitcointalk forums, and was looking at my profile. Jaywaka2713: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/jaywaka2713-85173

I noticed there was a user number in the URL. So I changed it to 1 and found the admin account. Wasnt a big surprise. What was a surprise is that it only has 7 posts, and was only active for 4 days. It's local time is interesting though. I also couldn't pull up any of his posts.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/admin-1

I tried using the user number "2" but no user came up. Probably because of some catalog system in HTML or SMF that I do not understand, or because the account was removed.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/--2

However, when I used user number "3", Satoshi's account came up. His posts came up.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/satoshi-3

That was interesting to me. I looked at his Local Time, and noticed it's 5 hours ahead of mine. Im in Illinois, meaning I live in the CST time zone. 5 hours ahead would be in Britain. I went back to the Admin account with user number "1", and guess what? Same time zone. Satoshi must have made both accounts, as they were made within 2 days of each other. Admin must have been a testing account, but with 7 posts? All of which couldn't be found?

I kept raising the user number by 1, finding 22 other accounts, and only 7 of which were active this year. The rest of them had relatively low post counts. Too lazy to pull up their bitcoin addresses. I stopped once I got to user number "35", which was theymos. https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/satoshi-35

I was wondering why theymos was the 25th (maybe 35, but there were plenty of blank numbers. Guessing that they are false) user on the forum, but is also the Admin. The third user with user number "4" sirius, https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/sirius-4 is Staff. Shouldn't he be Admin?

I checked theymos's time zone, and he also lives in the CST timezone alongside me, so he doesn't live in Britain.

I don't know if it was confirmed or not, or even known if Satoshi potentially lived in Britain. I heard that there was British dialect in the comments of Bitcoin code and in his White Paper. Also the Genesis Block message.

I also find it interesting that Theymos was the 25th member on the forum, yet is Admin, while sirius was the third member on the forum, is still active, and only has a staff position. I'd like to dig deeper into how exactly Theymos became the bitcointalk Admin.

come on bruh, you don`t think it used a VPN?

Just get his IP address from his posts/account....

I'm sure there are admins here who have more information on the matter.

Lois Lane:

How do you find someone who has spent a lifetime covering his tracks?

For some, he was a guardian angel. For others, a ghost, who never quite fit in.

What's the S stand for?

Bitcoin is an implementation of Wei Dai's b-money proposal http://weidai.com/bmoney.txt on Cypherpunks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunks in 1998 and Nick Szabo's Bitgold proposal http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2005/12/bit-gold.html

Thank you...for your succinct post...7 characters...K

I will eventually, but I'd rather find the threads or emails or something first. I doubt he was just appointed by Satoshi randomly. There must have been a vote. A vote from the original 24 other accounts before him. Maybe sirius appointed him?

Agreed. But I wouldn't try to find him anymore. Besides, you can't identify anyone by their work schedule. Not enough data. I also don't think C++ records how often you work on code... Maybe if you had access to his AppData, but such a feat is impossible, if he even uses Windows at all!

evidence found 4 years ago puts him as a 90% chance of being from britain.. .. now what..

if someone does not want to be found and they have not committed a crime. leave them alone

If i was satoshi I wouldn't want anyone to know my real life identity either. I'm sure this would go for a large # of users of this forum. While the digging is pretty fun, I sincerely hope that nobody actually discovers who satoshi really is. Giving bitcoin a face just makes it 10X easier to shut it down and then BTC is held accountable to all actions/words of the creator if public.

Im sure someone else have already done this, but whatever why not check the commits n c when he was working with code. No-one works 24/7. That would tell u about his routine. Then depending on the speed of commits one could perhaps deduct how plausible it was that S. had a work or not. I would look for repeating patterns of code, complexity of code and periods of no work. S. was maybe a day or night person who knows, maybe the work habit in combo with something that he has written could provide some inside.

Actually I suspect a friend of mine being S. He never talks about Bitcoins, have shown no apparent interest in computers in general and well... Generally really suspect I think. I have also played with the idea that I might be S. myself but have rejected the idea, main reason that it would be pretty silly to forget something like that. Also my friends who I suspect are all S. dont think I an S. generally speKing i am crazy.
