If you don't own your private keys, it means they are not your bitcoin and you did a big mistake. But technically, leaving your Bitcoin in a exchange deposit is giving them your private keys tho..

Satoshi was never in possession of the keys. Therefore, the original team still has them (unless they destroyed them).

Actually the theory that he just didn't want to hassle, legal or whatever, that he knew was coming might be his reason. Also he might left those coins but mined a little later on himself so he'd just be a normal user. He might even be a long-standing poster here which is a cool possibility. Just some 'miner' chatting with everyone else.

I think he's in this forum, too. Wink

Indeed, hiding in plain sight, as it were.

I am confused. Collect it from where ?

oh hi dumbfck, you can collect his key on his behalf. Plug an ethernet cable right in your anal and run bitcoin core 10.1.1

LOL. I think he's more entitled to it than you think. Imagine the Bitcoin core developers renigging on that whole trust matter. Poor Old Boy not even allowed to the private keys that they have in their possession. Would ruin the entire concept of Bitcoin wouldn't it? He is the inventor after all.

The Bitcoin core developers don't have his private keys. That's not how Bitcoin works.

If he was a so organised man he must have them good organised.
However I think he erased a good amount of his mined bitcoins

Edward Snowden can confirm Satoshi Nakamoto's real identity. Snowden helped implement Bitcoin with Hal Finney. Bitcoin is tied in with all that Snowden drama. It's not coincidence.

I'm sure you know all about Satoshi, even though you don't know how to use a Bitcoin wallet.

Please tell us more about how you would collect your keys if they were owed to you. Because, like you said, Bitcoin is based on trust. Without that, the whole system will fall apart.

I'd find a way to contact the original team and just ask for it. How's that for trust. Legally, and morally, I don't think they can claim it. And why would they, they mined their own. The problem is finding the original team members.

I'm sure they'd be able to come to him whenever they wanted. They won't. Probably expect him to forget. Who knows. I for one wouldn't care if I were him. I'm sure he'll make it another way on his own.

That's possibly the point behind wanting to make Satoshi "disappear". If it was just about the money, then why name it in his honor? Maybe it's personal. They need something to hold over his head. Like "we used you".

No the disappearing act was him, I'm pretty sure. It had to do with his aloof persona and general don't give a fuck attitude. Just like giving them the idea and urging them to make it open source instead of applying for a patent.

The fake name was more to protect people. Because messing with rich financiers is more dangerous than messing with oil barons.

TBH, being poor and unknown is probably better for him. Look at all these people going to jail over it. Fuck it, I would say if I were him.

I'm sure he still takes an interest in it since it was likely his little monetary experiment.

I've always figured either Satoshi is a group and in that case an agreement made to delete the keys (true believer thesis).

Or Satoshi, of course, could have been a single dude who decided to delete them for the same true believer reason.

Alternatively Satoshi went off-radar and that means something could have happened to him and that is why nothing ever happens.

We'll never know until the day he/they are known (possibly never).

The Satoshi Nakamoto the public knows is a group of people, the one pulling the con job. The real Satoshi Nakamoto who authored it is a single man. The reason he seemed to have "disappeared" is because they pulled the rug out from underneath him. He's still very much alive, I promise you, but now he wants to collect. If Bitcoin really is that shady and dishonest, can anyone imagine how the shite is going down?

u miss the point.

trustless means you dont have to trust core developers.

you either have your keys or you dont

You might want to think about that practice a bit. It would ripple across the entire nature of Bitcoin. That would make Bitcoin a giant Ponzi scheme after all. Take the money and run.
