Satoshi's real name is Alfred E. Newman.
He told me when we tried salvia that one time.
I don't get it.

I pinky-swear on a stack of bibles I haven't heard a peep from Satoshi.

Whatever he/she/they have been busy doing, I guess he/she/they're still busy doing it. Or maybe doobadoo is Satoshi and is trying to misdirect us....

Thanks for jumping in Gavin.  Do you think Satoshi had/has a serious amount of bitcoin?  Maybe millions of coins?  If so maybe he wanted to remain anonymous because he's just so dam smart that he KNEW this thing would take off right from the get-go and didn't want to pay any taxes on it.  That would be consistent with the political views that motivated what he created. 

He probably sold a out of some of his hoard and wired it to an offshore account and is now sipping frozen daiquiries on a beautiful beach somewhere. I really hope so, it would really suck if he worked so hard to create this and then blew out before it got over $1.

Satoshi if you are out there, send us a sign!  Let us know if you're out there ballin' in up.  If so, please generate another block with an embedded message.  One that could only come from you.  I'll be watching block explorer for it!

Satoshi isn't *just* Gavin, it's Gavin, Magical Tux, nanotube, and Jason Biggs.
Satoshi may be even busier than Foxconn workers, if true.

This is just great! Thanks to Satoshi texting you (hence not hearing a peep) to pen this post, we'll all be doing the pinky swear handshake at the next expo, conference, meetup, etc.

I dunno is this a sanctioned bitcoin handshake..?

I would start to feel dainty and stupid at the pinky swear last part..

I think that Satoshi still communicates with Gavin via PGP messages & tormail.  
Gavin has stated that this is not the case, and I would take it at face value. Makes for a good story though.

We should have a poll!

Gavin would probably win and now that I think of it, the Gavin-is-Satoshi-theory was never conclusively disproved... Wink

Bumping an old thread.   I think that Satoshi still communicates with Gavin via PGP messages & tormail.  I guess he justed asked Gavin to do him a solid and be the face of Bitcoin.   Some how I think he is still working and guiding the project. 

I really do hope that someday we find out who he is,  Maybe when he dies there will be a PGP signed message from him released, proving he done it.

Hee hee - this thread has got me picturing everyone sitting on an ancient Roman hillside with a laptop, one by one standing up shouting "I'm Spartacus Satoshi!"

I'm Satoshi and so is my mother.

Please don't take it the wrong way. Bitcoin has always just been an experiment and I am currently working on perfecting the idea for another similar project. I can't release any details about this because of the amount of money people have already invested in the current Bitcoin network.

cool story bro
Now you've got me curious. Is the above quote from Satoshi? And if so, where did he post this? Google only shows this thread if I search for a sub-string within that quote.

Read "The Starfish & The Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations"  (you can also watch a presentation @ Google by the author, the current president of ICANN Rod Beckstrom)
If you want to understand why Satoshi did the right thing in "inventing Bitcoins, helping develop them a little bit, and then disappearing never to be seen again"


And frankly this is the way it has to be, if he had stayed the project would have failed.


Great video. Thanks.

Agreed. Satoshi was created as a fake god.
You can't argue with someone you can't talk to.
Only the higher ups can converse with god.

Why are you equating bitcoins/satoshi with the catholic church?

I wish I could meet Satoshi and shake his hand. His genius will be felt for decades to come.

Did anyone already invent a theory that Satoshi is a timetraveller from future, who decided to bring us a future technology? So that mankind on earth progresses better and gets to a new level of development.

Smiley

Yeah maybe he came back and opened a bitcoin savings account with his first block and is now living the high life in the year 3000

These time travelers sure do get around: http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=WI18720315.2.10
