Topic: Found one of satoshi nakamotos bitcoin addresses. (Read 3759 times)
He has all the Bitcoin he needs anyway. What's the point of looking for a cold trail.
Is there any proof that its really his bitcoin address?
No, but if you look at the header, you can see that it was likely an address that was mined by satoshi as the headers of blocks that he mined has somewhat of a unique 'footprint'I don't think it is beneficial for people to be obsessing over satoshi like this, as it creates a colt like religion.
If it were up to me, satoshi would sell all his coins on an exchange. It would make the price crash over the short term, but over the long term it would benefit Bitcoin as it would take a lot of uncertainty away and would prevent a lot of what the OP is doing

He has said that you should only use each address one time and to use a new change address each time you spend bitcoin. This would imply that he would never be able to combine his addresses together as doing do would violate that rule.
Yes, impossible to say how many bitcoins Satoshi really mined, or spent. If the addresses are not reused of course
Nothing indicated that he combined at least some of those coins together. So he either hold large amount of wallets or he hold a special wallet that contains thousands of addresses, both are very strange scenario
why strange? my understanding is the idea was to never reuse addresses. so his wallet would have a separate address for every 50 btc mined. also there's a site i saw before that tracked the early coins that never moved.
Judge from a normal people's financial behavior, it is very strange to maintain so many addresses, if he never combined those coins, then they will be spread among 200+ wallets (suppose that one wallet holds 100 addresses and each address holds 50 coins. Actually I don't know how many addresses the early version of wallets hold, if it can hold 20K addresses then he need only one wallet)
Nothing indicated that he combined at least some of those coins together. So he either hold large amount of wallets or he hold a special wallet that contains thousands of addresses, both are very strange scenario
Of course he could hope that when one satoshi reached parity with one dollar, each of those 50 coins will worth 5 billion dollars, like blocks of millions of USD when FED creates money. Then he do not need to combine them together
My guess is that he never really kept those coins, this will give him a much higher credibility over the system than he actually owns all those coins: From the creator's point of view, it is just a system, no matter it is fiat money or bitcoin. If the creator benefit from the system he created, then from academic point of view it is not enough convincing

He likely used multiple computers to mine at first (he could have used GPU mining in theory) and if this is true then he probably had one wallet for each computer.
If I had a time machine I would go back to january 2009 and mine the f!#k out of bitcoin lol
i think about this almost every day loli was regular visitor around various tech forums and such when bitcoin just started, and i just ignored all stuff about bitcoin. I mean "money in my hard drive" wtf
. I doubt i would understand tech behind btc few years ago as much as i do now, but still - its very likely my ignorance stabbed me badly.I vaguely remember hearing about bitcoin online back in 2009, I thought it was like play money or something and never bothered looking into it, then when I heard bitcoin was worth $1000 I couldn't believe how I missed out

I never thought I would just stumble upon one of satoshis address while messing around

Ok, cool, in case you also found the private key, you can just pm me
we don't like the actual topic too much eh guys ? lol
me i dunno if it's his just because it's old ?
i can't count how many times i have heard from older guys who said they had wallets with BTC in them and lost them..
i seen a story before about a guy who had a good amount and he had the PC sent to the landfill LOL
and imagine how many dead hard drives are out there.
maybe satoshi had most of his coins sitting on drive that died that failed getting repaired ?
could be a lot of theories really..
paranoid Japanese man ? Gavin or Nick or... ? i dunno but i lean more towards Nick myself from reports i have heard.
so how the hell do we find out accurately what the oldest address is and the one with the most coins ?
50 coins is not a lot !
and a LOT of guys got in early briefly and wandered off forgetting their passwords etc
or maybe reformatted their HDD forgetting they had a .dat file in a roaming folder on windows.. an easy mistake to make !
i think he died some how or simply changed identities

I don't see why he would want to Cashout , I'am pretty sure he is already rich with his knowledge in Programming etc. someone who is not looking for fame & money

Blockchain.info was founded on 2009 january too ? there is a big chance that it's Satoshi then. since bitcoin wasen't really popular on it first month ? 
but how he got that amount of money , only by mining ? because it's not like bitcoin is hackable or something , not even for the bitcoin creator
Blockchain.info was founded in 2012, if I remember correctly. Blockexplorer.com was made earlier. but how he got that amount of money , only by mining ? because it's not like bitcoin is hackable or something , not even for the bitcoin creator
Satoshi is around. He's just lurking.
@Satoshi Say something dude! we miss you man! lol
Satoshi is around. He's just lurking.
This guy doesnt want to be found. Why do you guys persist in tracking him down to the point of stalking?
why he disappear ? is he dead ? i don't find any reason that's why he disappear...if he comes future he will be ask to proof himself it would be awesome if he back to this forum with a topic like "time is over for hiding".
Nobody knows for sure. "Satoshi" disappeared around the time now-Lead Gavin gave a presentation for the CIA (or FBI - I don't remember, anymore) a few years ago. That's right, because the circle was complete. All you gotta do to realise who 'satoshi' was, is join the dots.
If I had a time machine I would go back to january 2009 and mine the f!#k out of bitcoin lol
I don't think, Satoshi will cash out for 3 reasons:
1. Satoshi must have had a good education and a lot of time to invent Bitcoin. So, I think, he is already in a good financial state. I just see him as a person, who is happy with what he already has.
2. Cashing out, could really harm Bitcoins. I don't think a person who but that much effort into a project(might even be his life work) would risk that. I think, if he wanted to use his knowledge to get a lot of money, he would have found an easier way.
3. There were already good points in history to cash out, he could already have made some millions if he wanted to
