Topic: Do you really believe Satoshi is real?? - page 4. (Read 5832 times)
When viewed from the security side that cannot be hacked until now, I am sure that Bitcoin is designed at least 5 people, after being made, of course it takes a strong marketing strategy and I'm sure there is a special team, maybe Satoshi is the leader of the team and is a natural thing if Many people do not know about Satoshi even many people claim to be Satoshi.
I believe in Satoshi, but I'm not sure of his identity. He can be a person/group of men, but the identity Satoshi is a real. I believe for the innovation, because it isn't possible to be developed by a person/group of people without revealing their identity. Satoshi did it with a reason, so to fulfill the so called anonymous transaction. Here the innovation needs to be praised than finding the identity of Satoshi.
I truly love the way he is unidentifiable if not there would have been a regulation on Bitcoin this could be either by Government taking over and imposing some silly law whereby making it difficult own a pieces and some fractions of it. but not some better that Bitcoin is real and can not fail anytime soon.
Bitcoin is in many main languages but not Japanese. Why would the guy who created it not make it in his own language? Don't you find it suspicious MtGox is in Japan?
Also the project really isn't a success. A lot of progress still has to be made. Security is still an issue along with sites still growing. Anyone ever even talk to him? I'm not saying he isn't real I'm just putting this out there.
Really? So, how did you get to know that whoever it is that Satoshi Nakamoto was is not someone from Japan? You don't know which country he or they are from, so why assume that they are from any other country and should named the cryptocurrency in their own language when you are not sure of it. They might even be someone from Japan that created it, no one has an idea.Also the project really isn't a success. A lot of progress still has to be made. Security is still an issue along with sites still growing. Anyone ever even talk to him? I'm not saying he isn't real I'm just putting this out there.
It is also possible that it can he someone from any other country around the world and maybe at the moment they were creating Bitcoin, the name came to their mind and they felt it was the right name for it?
He should probably read this
[It's always so nice the design of 2010]
I'm sure he already read this in the past considering that this has been UP for 11 years now.[It's always so nice the design of 2010]
and also If Satoshi/s is really available still? then he already red this all those years.
Can we start marking the calendar years in BS (Before Satoshi) and AS (After Satoshi) instead of the outdated calendar based on a religious person. 
2009 is Year 1 AS
We are now in year 14 AS. AS is the digital age. BS years were in the dark pre-digital age before we had humanity's money.
You can create this one mate, as like the Bible ? AC / BC .. maybe it is the need to provide a calendar that tackles when it happens either before or after. 2009 is Year 1 AS

Satoshi is just a nickname, so I don't understand why you are kind of implying that because of this he/she/they is/are supposed to be Japanese. Also because of the way the bitcoin papers were written it's clear that English is the first language. Anyway the papers have been translated in a second time in other languages by other people, so if they're not in Japanese is just because nobody decided to translated them.Lol you’re reply to a post from 2011 and someone who’s not been logged in to this website for several years. I of course agree with you that the name Satoshi was likely completely made up out of something that has nothing to do directly with bitcoins creator, but they didn’t necessarily really know all this back in 2011.

聡中本 Sato Nakamoto
聡 - wisdom
中 - inside / center / mouth
本 - root / origin
I speak and read some Japaneese. Here is an attempt to decode his name. Family names are written in ideograms barrowed from Chineese. They are really pictures. For example Tokyo can be written as 東京. The first character depicts the sun rising behind a tree and means East. The second shows a Chineese lantern like those found at ancient capitols. So To-Kyo means "Eastern Capitol".
In the family name Naka-Moto the first character is a mouth with something going inside, and the second character depicts a tree with the roots drawn in.

People tried tracking him back in 2010, turns out some of the emails he sent originate from internet cafe's and public libraries in Tokyo. So the person at least physically resides there. I'd say there is a high likelihood he is of Japanese descent as well.
Why does perfect English have to mean he is not natively Japanese?
Considering his staggering expertise in cryptography, programming and mathematics I wouldn't say it's too far-fetched to think he is extremely well-educated, maybe even self-learned.
Not being from the UK or USA doesn't automatically mean you make grammatical errors, spelling mistakes or use poor language.
In fact, it means you're less likely to make grammatical mistakes, as you haven't used the method we appear to have in the UK(I odn't know what happens in the USA), "I'm a teacher, I won't teach you grammar, if you can't do it you should've picked it up already from reading!".Why does perfect English have to mean he is not natively Japanese?

with that huge amount of btc sitting around... (the stolen ones), maybe just maybe... the govt has it and they simply announced the BTC was stolen, or they stole it themselves.
VERY interesting post sir, my sort of stuff. I didn't know TOR was made and funded by the Government. Can anyone else back-up that statement? But as for the statement I quoted above, it made an interesting thought pop into my head. I read not long ago that the richest Bitcoin user (assuming they only had one account) was holding EXACTLY 250,000 BTC. Considering about six and half mill is in existence now, and only 21 mill will ever exist, that is a mind-boggling amount of BTC. And quite honestly, one of the biggest fears I have about Bitcoin. and they simply announced the BTC was stolen, or they stole it themselves.
Maybe he's a Japanese Canadian. His english would be fluent, it would explain his use of British spelling, and even the double space after a period.
I think Satoshi is an individual person. He writes with a consistent style. I doubt he's American, since he sometimes uses British spelling.
Other people have that alert key now. However, Satoshi has published a PGP public key of his own:
https://forum.bitcoin.org/Satoshi_Nakamoto.asc

It's kind of interesting how much of a legend he has created for himself, just disappearing and using a fake name. I have a feeling he is some kind of savant/Rain Man who envisioned this project and then did it. Most people would seek out the fame when the press hit, but he has not. I'm sure major companies would be willing to shell out big bucks for the programmer behind Bitcoin.
A good idea is a good idea.
I don't personally care if Satoshi is american, japanese, a sentient toasted bagel with cheese on top or a homeless beggar with a hacked wifi connection living in a refrigerator box. This idea will change the world, and whoever he/she is - was smart enough to let it fly free.
If anything, *we* are bitcoin now. And I don't plan on giving up easily.

if im understanding that right.. he could literally prove who he is by using his private key to a sign a message and send it via the client(?) to everyone!

who likes Hungarian Notation
Now how do you figure that?
His surname is Hungarian,
and so is the name of the guy who runs the largest bitcoin exchange in the world,
which just coincidentally happens to be run in Japan.
Mark Karpelés and Nick Szabo also both write fluent English and have common angloamerican first names atypical to their countries (unless both were really born in the US or another English speaking country)
Too much of a coincidence?

And this? not even close.
Btw Karpeles is more like hebrew name, lol.
If (s)he had just picked a normal hacker name this would be less mysterious.
It would be interesting to see an analysis of the code with an eye to determining author(s) styles. Many have opined that this must be a project undertaken by many.
I was one of those that "opined" back on June 25, with:
"I believe it would be relatively simple for any one here to figure out who Satoshi Nakamoto if they took a little time to do this: http://www.lexifab.com/2010/07/stylometry/
Excerpt from site above: Stylometry is a set of techniques used to identify the author of a work. It can be applied to fine arts and music, but in linguistics, stylometry is utilized to identify anonymous authors and determine forgeries.
I think there's a enough written by Satoshi Nakamoto to compare his/hers writing style to the writing style of any other person's style you care to compare.
Maybe someone would like to start a tread on Stylometry to get the ball rolling. I believe that within 24 hours we'll have a match with over 95% certainty."
oh... and satoshi's real identity -> AI from the future that created bitcoins and funneled them into accounts so the AI has access to massive wealth when bitcoin is the global currency. don't supposed anyone wants to come up with a Science fiction story about "satoshi's true identity and why he created bitcoins?"
Install "Battle for Wesnoth" version 1.8 and look for my campaigns in its add-ons system.
Grab the one called "Between the Worlds", and choose the "Time Lord" option when picking which character to play.
When you are well along in your Time Cadet training you should find clues to further studies, not all of which use the Battle for Wesnoth software as their client software. (Battle for Wesnoth is more a way of presenting past events than a tool for influencing events going forward...)
