Topic: I "Think" that I found Satoshi Nakamoto - page 6. (Read 10880 times)

yet another thread of claims. Only time we going to find satoshi is when he steps up and admits that he is the real satoshi and that is not gonna happen. Would be nice to know who satoshi is and what his future plans are but no one knows.

The quality of these "unmaskings" has been getting lower over time.

The paper he cites from 2007 describes a system nothing like Bitcoin. Digital cash papers have been coming out every year for decades, it's always been a hot topic of research in the field of cryptography, since the days of Chaum. You could pick almost any time in any year and find some e-cash paper like that one.

The attempt to link the Satoshi Nakamoto name with random fragments of random authors in random citations of an essentially randomly chosen paper is ... especially entertaining.

The reasons Bitcoin took off despite a billion other crypto papers that also tried to crack the problem of digital cash are:

• Bitcoin was simple enough for non-cryptographers to understand: no advanced maths, almost certainly because Satoshi himself was not a professional or academically trained cryptographer.

• The unique monetary policy and coin distribution scheme that incentivised people to take part early on, and engaged people who weren't technologists but cared about monetary policy.

• Most importantly of all, Satoshi actually implemented his scheme in a downloadable app that was fairly easy to use. So people could try it out and get excited about it.

• Actually, truly P2P. Many e-cash schemes descended from Chaum's (and the 2007 paper is no different) assume a "central bank". Bitcoin was one of the only schemes that had literally no special nodes.

I think it would be possible for BitDNS to be a completely separate network and separate block chain, yet share CPU power with Bitcoin.  The only overlap is to make it so miners can search for proof-of-work for both networks simultaneously.

The networks wouldn't need any coordination.  Miners would subscribe to both networks in parallel.  They would scan SHA such that if they get a hit, they potentially solve both at once.  A solution may be for just one of the networks if one network has a lower difficulty.

I think an external miner could call getwork on both programs and combine the work.  Maybe call Bitcoin, get work from it, hand it to BitDNS getwork to combine into a combined work.

Instead of fragmentation, networks share and augment each other's total CPU power.  This would solve the problem that if there are multiple networks, they are a danger to each other if the available CPU power gangs up on one.  Instead, all networks in the world would share combined CPU power, increasing the total strength.  It would make it easier for small networks to get started by tapping into a ready base of miners.

... Oh yeah I proposed something namecoin like also a decade or so back. ...

Its great to know about it that his wallet is still untouched and unspent till now, then how he earns for his daily needs.

Detailed research but doesn't really prove anything..it's a directionless and never-ending debate..

I don't understand why people are after his identity instead of enjoying the power of bitcoin. It's pointless.

You put some work into this so good job...but Maybe it is time to let go of determining the identity of the creator of  Bitcoin.  For a very specific reason, the creator/creators wanted adamantly NOT to be discovered - or at least at this time in history to be discovered.  

He looks rich but He is not. All his wallets are Untouched and Unspent even now

greatest innovation? have you heard about the internet?

greatest innovation? have you heard about the internet?

I totally agree, he has every right to be anonymous.

But the man deserves to get credit for the greatest innovation of the century.

Thank you very much for this research effort. The linking to the Polish researcher is very comprehensible. I am wondering why all these magazines (Wire, Newsweek aso) did not come to this conclusion. I am curious about new developments regarding the search and the confirmation of you research whether Pawel Pszona is Satoshi or not.
