Thermos

his name is Theymos! don't have always the picture in your mind where a thermos puts water on the fire. the forum was offline and Theymos mentioned that it could be a fire is in a cable station in front of his home and he is not able to fix the issue because he is also offline because of the fire (but why he was then online in IRC ??) and then someone draw this picture that Theymos would put water on the fire with a thermos. I nearly died on this joke because of too less air in my body.

EDIT: changed Themos to Theymos because I was wrong but saw Theymos new thread about forum advertising and did remember there was also a y in his name. LOL.

His name is likely something to do with him and/or the company that he (they) represent.

It is unlikely that Satochi Nakamoto is his real name although Satochi or Nakamoto could somehow be linked to his name or be part of his name.

Like BTC addresses his name can probably somehow be linked to his real identity but the name itself is not his real identity. Like linking a BTC address to a real identity a certain amount of analysis must be done and the analysis must be done at the proper time. I think that if one was to monitor the network nodes at the time when Satoshi was mining bitcoin then it would have been possible to determine what his IP address was, this information is likely to not be available now.

I think that it would not be unlikely that Satochi represents one (or more) company(ies) as it was claimed that work was started on the Bitcoin protocol in 2007 and the white paper was not released until late 2008.

I do not think that Satoshi could have ever imagined how big of a sucess that Bitcoin could become (to date) so he likely did not put as much effort into hiding his identity then he otherwise would have.

I would not be surprised if Thermos and other major Bitcoin "players" know who Satoshi really is or at least more about his then what is publicly available.

You can find more about satoshi here

http://www.reddit.com/r/satoshistories

its like the bible

written years after the fact, by people not involved in the fact, pretending to be fact.

in short, bed time stories for kids to believe and treat as gospel

 Hmmm This has gotten really off topic, Also that subreddit is literally just a bible for idiots.

we dont need more, thus de-railing these repeated and boring topics is done for fun and to make people not turn it into a 20 page discussion

I've seen a few posts about early emails on systems like bitcoin (Like hashcash) and am trying to bring up could satoshi possibly be the names of the people who satoshi based bitcoin off of? Obviously he was aware of these people's work, could he of used tricks they used and included a letter of their name in the alias?

 For those of you who don't know what an acronym is

S- Sander (or Szabo)
A- Adam Back
T- Ta-Shma
O- xxxxx (Orange)
S- Szabo (or Sander)
H- xxxxxx (Happy)
I- xxxxxx (Igloo)

 I don't know any more so I can't fill it out, maybe you can?


 Emails that brought up the question:
marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=95280154629925&w=4
marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=95280154629912&w=2

 There are more on that page, also use your own knowledge.

 Anyway, enjoy your day. Just thought I'd bring something that'll keep you busy for the rest of your life.

EDIT: I DIDN'T MAKE THIS CLEAR, THE PEOPLES WHOS NAME ARE IN THAT ACRONYM ABOVE ARE ALL PEOPLE WHO'VE DONE WORK ON CRYPTOSYSTEMS LIKE BITCOIN.





I though people were getting tired of making up stories. But then again, the interpreters of Nostradamus predictions and of the Mayan Calendar never do, so why should the ones of Satoshi name would?

I think he just picked a common first name and last name from a country he likes. In this case japan, and mixed them.

I doubt there's anything behind the name, as he seems to value his privacy he wouldn't leave clues to trace his identity.

He also seems to value his coins too  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
