I do not think so. I think like that because no one ever knows who it is Satoshi Nakamoto, even the big players of bitcoin. I think Satoshi Nakamoto was someone very mysterious

why is everyone so curious to about nakamoto, guys better let it be secret
The whole point behind Bitcoin is to keep occupants anonymous anyway. Why would anyone willingly attempt to go against that aspect by attempting to discover the psuedo behind the person who started it all? Where is the respect for the head founder?

Quote
Oink's Pink Palace (frequently stylized as OiNK) was a prominent BitTorrent tracker which operated from 2004 to 2007. Following a two-year investigation by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) and the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), the site was shut down on 23 October 2007, by British and Dutch police agencies. These music industry organisations described OiNK as an "online pirate pre-release music club", whereas former users described it as one of the world's largest and most meticulously maintained online music repositories. About a month before the shut-down, music magazine Blender elected OiNK's creator, British software engineer Alan Ellis, to their The Powergeek 25 — the Most Influential People in Online Music list. Alan Ellis was tried for conspiracy to defraud at Teesside Crown court, the first person in the UK to be prosecuted for illegal file-sharing, and found not guilty on 15 January 2010.

THE WAY FORWARD

Focus on CRC’s in which the industry can adopt the research outcomes.
No public good CRC’s
No Researcher control
Build on existing research both domestically and internationally not on new science
Increase funding to CRC’s to increase critical mass
Reduce centre management costs. Too much of CRC grant goes towards CRC management
Ensure there is a path to market
Fund bids

 
Alan Ellis

The relevant part is the author's name, Alan Ellis. The question is who owns Panopticrypt Pty Ltd.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Steven_Wright

Quote
Wright was the CEO of the technology firm Hotwire Preemptive Intelligence Group (Hotwire PE), which planned to launch Denariuz Bank, the world's first Bitcoin-based bank, though it encountered regulatory difficulties with the Australian Tax Office and failed in 2014. Wright is the founder of cryptocurrency company DeMorgan Ltd., which received $54 million in tax incentives via AusIndustry. He is also the founder of the cybersecurity and computer forensics company Panopticrypt Pty Ltd.

Is it possible that that's why Alan Ellis had to keep his identity a secret because he was under investigation at the time? Also, could Alan have borrowed the 21 million download figure for the maximum number of bitcoins that would eventually be created?

Full disclosure: I'm currently under the weather and have been known in the past to post some crazy shit even when I'm not sick.


I think you're right... not about this but about a lot of other things.

I dont believe he is, and to be honest i would rather that the creator is never found.  It could take attention away from bitcoin and even destroy it if it came out that the creator was a criminal or even worse a pedo or sumthin...... Undecided

i am putting my money on it being the craig wright, but as i said i would rather not know.

Alan and Craig worked together.

To be honest I don't give damn who Satoshi is or was.
He/they was/were the creator of that beautiful technology and now others continue to build it.
That's all what counts, ongoing development and progress.

i believe many peoples are same with you,just because satoshi have so long time become unclear mystery,we tired to follow and reveal who really he/she/they were.i'm also one of that people who dont care anymore who Satosh Nakamoto is,and i just say thank to him/them that have create great crypto currency.

I still say, it was not one person. If that theory is true, Alan Ellis could have been one of them and he might have suggested a decentralized option and a 21 000 000 coin cap. I also think Nick Szabo is also a member of that group of brilliant people. ^smile^

Allan Ellis isn't Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi is a genius. He is making funny of you all that are searching him in computer-area most skilled men while he's either a 13 years old girl, God or a an A.I. from the future to prevent the extinction of the mankind !

Sounds like we have another candidate for Satoshi's real identity.

Maybe all these people are part of the group called Satoshi Nakamoto? They are all Satoshis.

My guess would be Satoshi Nakamoto is actually a group of people. I find it hard to believe that one man came up with bitcoin.

Satoshi is rolling in his grave. #bitcoin
Every now and then there's a thread about possible Satoshi, and my question is always the same ; what does it matter ?
Even if u find him(or her, you never know Smiley ) - what then ? It's obvious that the only thing creator wants is not to be known, so i think we should respect that.

satoshi was one of the cypherpunks probably at least 3 of them were involved:

Satoshi Nakamoto (was very familiar with HashCash and chose it as the basis of BitCoin)
Hal Finney (early development partner of SN)
Nick Szabo (text analysis of Bitcoin white paper leads to him, probably rewrote the white paper because the first published version was different and doesn't exist anymore)

positive agree before he released bitcoin go to public i think he already keeping safe all information about him.
all news tell the creator of bitcoin has been found but in fact "the creator of bitcoin is never be found"
