As far as I know, the best way for him to prove his real identity is his PGP however there is still a possibility that Satoshi somehow lost access to his devices and his PGP. so there are many famous people that other people think they are the real Satoshi, Although that is the case, I don't think that even if he still is able to prove his real identity, he will still do so because of his own security and privacy, as well as for the bitcoin itself since many people believe that if the Satoshi reveals his true identity, it could have adverse effects on Bitcoin as a whole.

You do not need put a mask on your face to act as Mrs Nakamoto.
You are not the first one to be dumped by my username obviously not the last too LOL

The development of this topic considering the responses from OP of course.

Point to take. Questions only LOL

If he never signed any message from his PGP key then how will you know it is him ?

Does Satoshi have a PGP Public Key ?
What it is ?
Where it is ?
4 questions.

How do you know that was really Satoshi's PGP Key ?

Bitcoin.Org has moved to 3 or 5 different people. Where else Satoshi published his PGP Key ?
2 questions.

Who told you that Police and Government are looking for Satoshi ?

Are you an agent of the government or a Bitcoiner ?
2 more.
[...]Why the government did not interrogate Craig Wright and James Belal Caan ?  

[...]

What other way the real Satoshi can prove that he is the man behind Bitcoin and Blockchain ?

If the real Satoshi does sign a message from the PGP or Private key, how does it prove that he is the genuine Satoshi ?
More questions.

[...]

Interesting post, Franky1 I am confused after reading your comment.  

How do you know that CSW is a liar ?
How CSW can accused Satoshi ?

What will be the outcome ?

In that case, You Franky1 a British born educated person can advocate for Satoshi and find a good solicitor. After all, Satoshi can provide to the court the cryptographic proof of Evidence that he is Satoshi.
 
Just discovered his ALT 🤣

[...]Is #satoshi  your friend ? [...]
More question.

Someone is talking after 21 questions 😉

This is an official document issued by an official authorities proving that Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto

Anybody can register a nickname if they want. I bet that if I donated a generous sum to the government of Colombia they'd issue a document for me with my name and nickname darkangel11. They'd gladly approve that I'm the one and only genuine person with that nickname. If I wanted to be called the CEO of Bitcoin, they'd say that it's true because nobody ever came to them to register as CEO of Bitcoin. Craig can buy all the documents that he want and he still won't be the creator of Bitcoin.

Why argue over something that even Satoshi probably didn't expect.
The reason he created bitcoin and disappeared from this forum for a long time is because it seems like he just wants to be known from his creation not from a personal perspective so now what is his goal to show himself and claim that he is Satoshi.
He is quite well known now even just from his creation and let him enjoy his life with the works he made popular with many people.

*nonsense*

Signature space for rent
A lot of threads had been created about Satoshi Nakamoto's identity. As others said the only way to prove himself is by singing a message from his address. A couple of impersonators have been tried to prove Satoshi Nakamoto. Everyone failed till now since they failed to provide a signed message from Satoshi's address. I think better for Satoshi to remain anonymous. It's better for the overall crypto industry. And I believe Satoshi Bitcoin creator knows better than us how to save his kingdom.

let him be at peace with his choice, there's no reason for him to show up and prove to someone who he is
bitcoin is a decentralized, anonymous currency and what's more perfect than that its creator is also anonymous, he did the right thing from the beginning to create the perfect bitcoin it is today
look at altcoins today, their future could be buried at any moment because they are centralized and controlled by a specific group of people,
but with bitcoin that will never happen, no one can control, destroy bitcoin

From the start Anonymity is the way that Satoshi has always adhered to so why did he bother proving himself as Satoshi because logically if he really wants to be known to people why did he bother to keep himself a secret from the start.
He will continue to remain anonymous and he is comfortable with that because from the start it seems he doesn't really want Popularity and let people enjoy what he does.

And you're officially the dumbest evil person in this room, who once again ignores the innumerable evidence proving Craig is not Satoshi, from altering blog pages and plagiarizing whitepaper to claiming ownership of addresses whose real owner signs against afterwards, and who puts authorities' bureaucracy above actual evidence such as a signed message. You're the most anti-bitcoin user of this board, and the irony is you think we are the worst.

Why is it necessary for Satoshi to prove his identity to us? He left bitcoin for the community usage and it's completely decentralised and if you have heard the term we all are satoshis then you have not come up with this post.

There are many faketoshi claiming to be original but they all are imposters as can't even sign a message so what proof they can present to prove it? So I don't think it's necessary and we are completely fine and there are lot of such threads that we don't need.

It would be in Satoshi's best interest not to come back.
He doesn't have to prove anything to the world. He can do it but it will cost him his privacy.

If I were Satoshi I'd expect to be blackmailed, receive a ton of fan mail every day, have newspapers and TV stations call me all day and plant reporters near my house to watch me. I'd expect government officials to send me letters to support them and pay for their campaigns.
It would of course mean I'd earn a lot of money but I'd pay for it with my mental health.

If you are Satoshi and you know that people are hunting you, your presence endangers not only yourself, but also those around you. So do you want to continue to let people know who you are?

I will definitely not trade my security and that of my family members for any cheap popularity, because that's exactly what will happen if Satoshi mistakenly identify himself. Satoshi totally has nothing to gain currently now revealing himself because everything anyone could ever dream of or wish, he already has it as been the inventor of the anonymous decentralized digital currency of all time. So he definitely has nothing to gain revealing himself now.


Indeed, he had no reason to reappear. If he wanted to be famous or be recognized by the public as a great genius, he would not have been silent until today. He is the inventor of bitcoin, a decentralized currency. Bitcoin is good for us but annoying for the government so he is aware of the dangers of going back and going public with his identity. For everything to be perfect, bitcoins are anonymous, their creators don't need to reveal their identities.

The identity of satoshi is none of your damn business.  If someone you've never interacted with wishes to keep their identity hidden, they are free to do so.  They don't owe you anything.  It doesn't matter how many people are curious or how big the demand might be.  You don't have a right to know.

Doomed, are you Satodhi ?
Why are you getting angry ?
Are you hiding Satoshi in your house in the Amazone ?

Your comments has revealed that you have secret concern about Satoshi ?

Identity of Satoshi is my Bitcoin Business. If I find the Identity of #satoshi then I can sell it to the News Media and they will give me some money to spend for my charity work.


Since for you this is about money and not about curiosity at all then why are you expecting that someone else is going to do your job for you? If you want to find the identity of Satoshi then you can spend your time tracking all the evidence that it is around the Internet and see if you can find who he was, I can assure you that if you could find the identity of Satoshi not only you will earn money you will earn worldwide fame and even a Pulitzer will not be out of the question.

The best thing that has ever happened to bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry at large is Satoshi remaining unknown. This only makes bitcoin more decentralized than any other cryptocurrency and gives it an advantage over others that are controlled by people or the government. He developed every program on how the bitcoin functions and did it in such a way that it cannot be controlled by a single entity or a set of groups. For this reason alone, it is acceptable for him to remain anonymous because doing so would encourage the government to exert pressure on him to change the decentralized network system. Bitcoin's future is secured, and whether or not the owner is known has no impact on this.

digitalmonk is bitcoinMoses

il just call him DMBM

DMBM knows nothing about bitcoin. nor wants to start any bitcoin business(but pretends to have one).
cant be bothered to learn about bitcoin.
he has tried to do a copy and paste job of doing what CSW did.(pretending to be satoshi for fame and story telling)

DMBM wants to suck up to people to associate himself. and get notoriety via association. get an interview from them and find some drama/story he can use to get some viral attention to then sell the stories to media
(yep even CSW wants to try selling his story but doing so using himself as the target of story worthy drama)

boring. non-original.
moving on

no one believes or owes DMBM anything.

Satoshi doesn't need to show up anymore since his work was done already and by this time it won't benefit to him or to others if he show up. People are persistent or is it just the government hire these people to keep asking this question over and over again while didn't bother to do some research on why Satoshi won't show up anymore.

He/She/They doesn't need to prove anything who are they since it's clear where this question is going and it's not gonna benefit to Bitcoin development.

CSW has already played games that his pc was hacked, lost keys and whomever has keys now is the bad guy.

that is CSW latest stupid game of why he cant sign (previously he said keys were with some silly trust/courier). no point repeating all CSW lies,deceits. everything he says is a lie.

i am not a advocate of anything. i just done research, if you want to know more, do research

there are ways to prove the real satoshi, but endless speculation causes endless game theory with idiots pretending they are satoshi by pretending they are showing proofs or explaining how they cant show x proof due to y event

easier to just accept, is this.. if satoshi was to reappear he will in his own way with his own proof(certain keys, both btc and gpg), but has no need to... so just move on and treat anyone playing games without any proof as a liar. and no, no sympathy story or family narrative would prove otherwise

satoshi does not need to come back, the bitcoin code is clear to read and has no backdoors.
nothing can be gained about the bitcoin protocol from satoshi..

for those curious about the guy for human interest sake, he doesnt need to come forward.. so find another interest, interview someone you can find. else your life will be wasted on fantasy interviews you will never have(even if he came forward what makes you think he wants to answer randoms/no-bodies, and be poked for answers xmillion times)

for those that feel it would solve all CSW lies by the real satoshi slapping CSW, it wont. CSW will just accuse satoshi of being the late arrival impersonator where CSW will lie and make more false claims that satoshi is a thief(he has primed that already with current lies)

to destroy CSW requires catching CSW in his lies(perjury)

You came from not knowing anything about bitcoin. Then with the offshore bitcoin trading company followed by the block-explorer idea which was basically a DEX that you were looking for not knowing the difference between a block-explorer and a DEX. And now you are looking for satoshi to help your business.

Why would anyone care for you? Do you have anyone on the table for others?

Forget about PGP key when you have doubt. Like I said a bitcoin address will be enough. No one was able to signed a single message yet. The reason we know faketoshi is a fake is because he has not proved anything yet even though he seems wasting a fortune to prove that he is satoshi.

There are so many journalists around the world looking for Satoshi to publish a pending news. I have never heard that Police or government are looking for Satoshi ?  Some people thinks Satoshi is working for the government and central bank. If Satoshi is part of the government then I think government has no concern about him. But it Satoshi is a Japanese or some one else then do you think Governments are so foolish that they have no idea of who is Satoshi ?

I don't think he will reveal his identity publicly because I know it probably won't make him feel safe and calm, there are many ways to prove who Satoshi is but unfortunately he is more comfortable being anonymous than going public.
Imagine if he revealed his identity. Two things might happen. The market might crash because FUDs would start spreading. People might think that he is going to sell his coins and that will cause the market to tumble down. Or once he reveals his identity (which is going to  be a very big news), more people will be interested in bitcoin and cause the price to go up.

I doubt he is hiding or is scared to reveal his identity. He chose not to in order to keep bitcoin truly decentralized. If he did reveal his identity, people would worship him and focus more on what he would say and less on the community.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of the creator of the crypto asset Bitcoin and not necessarily the truth of the name.
there may be some people who actually know about it but are unwilling to publish the truth or the current whereabouts of Satoshi Nakamoto.

do you believe that your statement for Satoshi proves its existence, because bitcoin is the highest value crypto asset and Satoshi himself still holds a large part of the total Bitcoin supply.
wouldn't proving his existence create conflict and a threat to Satoshi.
but we do not know what the purpose and intent of the creators of bitcoin never publish the truth and existence.

I'd find it sufficient proof to just let him provide a signed message from his never used PGP key. Other than that, a signed message from the public key of the genesis block could also work for the rest of this decade, and perhaps even a few years later than that. At some point in the far future, it can be reversed so it can't be treated as evidence forever. On the other hand, his PGP key is far more secure.
