Great video, interesting theory, but still way off in my opinion. This is much more likely...

Yossi Nagy Moti - sound familiar to anyone ?

Satoshi is not Shinichi Mochizuki.

Why, you may ask?

Simply because Satoshi wrote his bitcoin white paper in British English, not American English.

Theater = American.
Theatre= British.

Functorially=American.
Functorialy=British.

color=American.
colour=British.

If you are looking for someone with an Asian heritage to be the real identity of Satoshi, you may want to atleast look into a British based English language education of the suspect. 'Princeton' is not British.

End of discussion

You'd also want to look for someone interested in austrian economics and cryptography.  I'm not sure if that fits Shinichi's profile.

I'd rather that no one finds Satoshi because he clearly went through a lot of trouble to be anonymous and probably doesn't want the attention.

Never finding the identity of Satoshi is by far a better story.

Hundreds of books, fairy tales, myths, movies will be produced...

How hard is to change all your correspondence to British spelling?

Spellcheck. So hard.

Yeah, writing style doesn't mean anything. If someone is that into anonymity, they would cover their tracks by having an online dialect different from their real one.

So instead of a turbo genius, this guy considers it a more plausible explanation that he is a super-duper turbo genius. Roll Eyes

People can make grammatical mistakes when they aren't paying attention. I often do when I do not read through what I've written.

Satoshi (or the part of Satoshi that posted on the bitcoin forums) is more likely to be American than British:

I can't understand why you're having so much pain.  I just followed the instructions in build-unix.txt.  I made a couple little corrections for Boost 1.37, which I'll put on SVN the next time I update it, noted below:

British people never say 'couple little corrections' they always say 'couple of little corrections'.

Hmm, who invented the wheel ?

Nobody knows buy we still make good use of them.

Many improvements have been made to the wheel over the centuries but it's still a wheel.

does it really matter who satoshi is,

how many know or care who alexander hamilton or King Offa of Mercia are and want to meet up with these guys for what they done.

just accept it an entity with a name made something.. now enjoy the rewards. knowing their true identity wont change anything and even knowing who, most of the forum readers here would not even do anything beyond it. so how about concentrate all your mind sets on main streaming bitcoin instead of who created it.



It may matter if/when bitcoin becomes more mainstream. Already I've heard/seen A LOT of people discredit bitcoin or say it may be a scam simply based on the fact that no one knows who created it.  That certainly can be a concern for the legitimacy of bitcoin in the future if it wants mainstream adoption.   Or it might now matter at all,  but I've already seen US regulators bring up this fact when talking about bitcoin and wanting to further regulate it, they seem weary of something where they don't know the creator for whatever reason.

I have never read that anywhere and I've been trolling this forum for years. It would be neat to find out who he really is and even better to be able to ask him questions but if he's not found I don't think it's a big deal.

The other month when all the media hype was going on there were quite a few articles written by financial "experts" saying you can't trust bitcoin to not be a scam because we don't know who created it. Unfortunately I don't have the links off the top of my head to show you. It was some pretty big publications though like wall street journal, huffington, etc etc.

I forget the guys name but one of the main financial regulators in America said the same thing just a few weeks ago.

It certainly is something that comes up in the financial industry amongst people,  maybe it's just due to their lack of knowledge of bitcoin. I don't know. But I have seen it come up.

I do agree with you though, overall it's probably not a big deal.

you do realise that if bitcoin was closed source using code that could not be reverse engineered then knowing the source would be important. and by source i mean source code.

but its open source.

people that say they can't trust bitcoin because they do not know the creator. well that is just rediculous. the bible is the most trusted and most read book in the world, yet all people know is that it was wrote by a bunch of guys. they cant be questioned or reveal any more secrets.. can they..

all people need to do is actually read the words to understand it and form educated opinions. basing opinions on something you have not even read will always have haters not understanding it.
that goes for bitcoin and the bible.

and by the way i am not christian but i have read the bible cover to cover... best fantasy story i have ever read, i wont ruin the ending for everyone.  Grin

Very good point. However, if you are concerned about keeping your identity secret, that little trick of typing in British English is a very common and well known trick.  Plenty of cyber criminals talk/write in british english as well trying to throw off authorities.

Not saying you don't make a valid point. Just saying it's not rocket science to type in British English, plenty of "dumb" criminals do this tactic.

I am sure Shinichi Mochizuki is not Satoshi because someone with such horrendous design sense could not possibly have created bitcoin  Smiley
