Is there any reason why you call him “Satoishi” instead of “Satoshi”?

Sorry, about that. Satoishi is the normal Japanese spelling of the name (Anglicized), so mentally I always spell it this way.

The mispelling of the name, by the way, is evidence that Satoshi is not actually Japanese, but is a Westerner masquerading as a Japanese (Mark Karpeles anyone?).

I don't know Japanese, but there's something I wonder...

Searching Google for “satoshi -nakamoto -bitcoin” (so, other people named Satoshi) gives 19 million results, while “satoishi -nakamoto -bitcoin” gives 417 thousand.

Searching on Wikipedia, there's a list of people named Satoshi, but the Satoishi page is non-existent.

So, if “Satoishi” is the accepted anglicized version, why is it much less frequent?

Because that is the pronunciation but Satoshi is the preferred spelling?

Since a lot of readers seem either unwilling or unable to use the search function I will cross link the relevant posts.

My original post from October 24, 2011, 11:27:48 PM fingering Robert Hettinga as Satoishi based on forum posts:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/my-guess-at-satoshi-robert-a-hettinga-49751

A followup post in 2013 dealing with the Szabo issue:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/satoishi-is-szabo-hettinga-chaum-358790

In 2013, an analysis of the Bitcoin paper suggested it was written by Nick Szabo. I too had noticed that the forum posts and bitcoin paper seem to have been written by different people, but possibly been a collaboration. Since Nick Szabo and Robert Hettinga knew each other very well and were good friends, this introduces the possibility that Bitcoin was a collaboration between the two, with David Chaum doing the coding.

However, my recent thinking is that Szabo cannot have written the paper, despite the Slashdot analysis. The reason for this is that the paper uses Latex, but in a highly non-standard way that appears converted from MS Word, whereas the few times Szabo has published a paper, it uses standard Latex formatting. Also, Szabo's papers feature high-quality, academically informed references. The references in the 2008 Bitcoin paper are the work of an amateur. The overall layout and style of the graphics and objects differ from Szabo's style and tendencies. Therefore, I think my original conclusion still stands: Hettinga wrote both the forum posts and the paper.

I have a new identity proposal, although its not as cool as the idea Satoshi is a time traveling alien AI.  A group of hackers compromise some of Satoshi's old accounts then immediately go after Mazacoin's old website having acquired old account info belonging to Anonymous Pirate.  Therefore, I postulate that Anonymous Pirate and Satoshi are the same person.  https://mazacoin.org/mazacoin-org-returns-after-compromise/

A couple of years ago I posted my theory of who Satoishi was. God, I hope I am right if this hacker outs him. Then I can lord it over you all unmercilessly. You will never heard the end of it, how I was right and you ignored me. Vindication at last.


A proper "I told ya so" post deserves a link to the original...it'll make you look much cooler when others stumble upon this thread!

LOL that's hilarious, no that was a later post.

My identification post was published on this forum on October 24, 2011. It's Robert Hettinga.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hettinga

seems reasonable that he was all up in it.

Together with Szabo and Chaum as suggested in this Dec 2013 post? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/satoishi-is-szabo-hettinga-chaum-358790

KimDotCom ...  If I am correct will somebody give me big prize?

KDC would probably not remain silent about creating BTC. He's proudly created other revolutionary software out in the open.

Also, he wouldn't have used MSVC to create it.

My vote is for Elon Musk, but really I couldn't give 2 flying fucks.

Change is in your hands
The alien theory i like it, I can understand that if you had millions of dollar you want to be private because there will be lot of people trying to steal your wealth but you would not be that afraid that you won't even give a comment on internet.   Roll Eyes

Satoshi is provably god. He wanted us to make our own monetary system, but we failed so he developed bitcoin for us. Thanks god!
This is ridiculous. It is also why he likely wanted to stay anon as he more likely then not does not want people worshiping him like this.

He had a very good idea in creating bitcoin, however he was not alone in execution in the making it as successful as it is today. 
I agree. People who say that satashi is god or some kind of profit are, IMO crazy and give bitcoin a bad name.

Leave no FUD unchallenged
You'll never find Satoshi, he went back to his home planet.  He is spending his BTCs, you just can't see it because the blockchains can't synch over intergalactic distances yet. 

Whoever it actually turns out to be, it's going to be an anticlimax.  Nothing can live up to the hype now.
