Topic: **Breaking news** Satoshi Nakamotos identity revealed - page 26. (Read 77443 times)

The Newsweek article quotes Gavin saying he and others were convinced Satoshi was a single person, based on how his code was written.

I  believe it was a single person as well. The kind of genius expressed in the original Satoshi article and then implemented doesn't get invented in committee. Even if you had 10 men the equal of Satoshi and put them together on a project to create bitcoin working together, you'd find them bogged down and disagreeing with each other. They'd never get it done. Some things just need to be done by an anti-social "jerk" working in a closet, or they never get done at all. Looks like that's how bitcoin came to be.

who's gonna call him right now?

Y'all got goxed.

Like, in real life.

Maybe it was a team lead by Satoshi N?

He's not going to do anything to confirm himself as being "the" Satoshi, because he clearly does not want to be ID'd as such. That said, he's going to need a quiet place to hang out for a while, until the furor dies down. And some security upgrades around the house while he's at it. God bless him and keep him.

Just wanna know what happened to all those theories about satoshi nakamoto  is not a person, it is a team of developers. I don't know how credible the article is .

If it really is him, he might as well come back to the forum and join the Bitcoin scene once more. The community could use his intelligence as well as he could use our support since he will be getting a good deal of attention now. It was his idea, he should stick with it to some extent in the same way Bill Gates keeps up with Microsoft.

It could easily be true.  Don't forget, when Bitcoin started it was nothing, just an idea of what money could be, it took time before it exploded into what it is today. So given its very humble beginnings and zero certainty, what reason would he have to use an alias?

Once the media and internet whipped it up into mythical status, well, by that point no-ones gonna believe there's actually a real person with that name! which would explain why no-one thought of this guy till now, because who's gonna believe he'd use his real name then, right?

But whether this is really the guy, or not the guy, this journalist should be ashamed of herself, she really didn't think this through. The bottom line is, there will be thiefs and kidnappers out there that will assume he still holds the keys to an insanely huge amount of wealth on a hard drive that he owns. recklessly revealing soo much personal info puts not only his life, but the life of any close friends and relatives at risk.
Because of this, I really hope that he IS the real Satoshi, and that he does still hold his bitcoins, because at least that'll give him some financial leverage to dissapear or at the very least relocate.

But if this guy isn't Satoshi and lives a humble life because thats all he can afford... then I would not want to be in his shoes right now when he gets the call that his mother/brother/sister has been kidnapped and will be killed unless he hands over all his Bitcoins.

There's one major hole in this story which I will present to you in one simple sentence.

The man in this article is not me, I am Satoshi Nakamoto.

Barbra Streisand filed a similar lawsuit about a picture of her coastal home.  She not only lost but was ordered to pay costs and fees for the other side under California's anti-SLAPP law.  Publishing photographs of a building that is visible from the public is generally not actionable in the context of truthful reporting (assuming this actually is truthful reporting).

This guy may not be a public figure for general purposes like Streisand, but is certainly a public figure at least for the limited purposes of discussing a subject of legitimate news interest, that is, Bitcoin, especially if he actually admitted to having invented it.

god dammit just play along.. i wanna see where this goes.   

dude, everyone knows that the real Satoshi is really a green alien just like Dr. Wiley in Mega Man 2.

That generally only happens when their contributions have been largely ignored during their lifetime. There are not many great scientists who would refuse a Nobel Prize.

This is fake

Didn't they post pictures that gives away his location?  They took them down but that is a huge security issue for him so he would have grounds for a lawsuit for that I would think.

I would think his wife and kids would at least request he sell a few.  

If he actually confirmed it, what justification does he have for suing them?  He would have refused to talk to them and threatened legal action.  I don't necessarily believe that either a) he confirmed it or b) that it was true.  The story just doesn't make sense.

MSM is known for fooling people, this article is a distraction from the truth - Satoshi is not a person, it is a team of developers, probably employed by NSA.
Purpose? Testing out a digital currency that can be traced and make it easier for the government to tax and control people.

From the article: "She also describes her father as a man who worked all hours, from before the family rose in the morning to late into the night."

This roughly fits with one piece of data about Satoshi - one thing  I read a while back is that analysis of the timing of his emails and posts showed that he was typically inactive from 12:00 to 6 AM, eastern standard time. At the time I figured this meant he was most likely living on the east coast of the U.S. But if he was an early riser, the "dead time" pattern makes more sense.
