Ho that's good 

2011.01.13 I got email from Satoshi about a tricky bug today.  He's just busy.

And then everybody goes : "who?". And nothing happens... If we would do that with every person/hacker on the internet, slashdot would be overflown with "Zomg, p0wnies, bbq, person x hasn't been online for x months".

BTW, did someone tried to contact him through email?

Maybe in two to three months someone can submit a /. article regarding Satoshi Nakamoto similarly to http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=11/01/15/016241

And now Gavin has it in github anyway. Whoever Satoshi is, (s)he published the paper and the code, and we can take it from here without any further interaction.

What is there to worry about?  On one hand, I understand concept of worrying, but on the other hand, some individuals from the established community may be able to take responsibility or initiative to take where satoshi has left off.  And if satoshi were to return, any updates initiated or responsibilized by the community can be pushed back to satoshi so that he may continue where the rest of the community has left off, and if satoshi deems that all or any of the updates from the community are not the direction he had anticipated for bitcoin, he can revert them at his discretion.

And my artwork is of sub-par rendering! Give it time until I come up with something very good.

Maybe he simply observed that among programmers who are competent in cryptography, there are few women. And that Satoshi seems to be a mostly male name, according to a quick google search.

However, since, on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog, we shouldn't assume that Satoshi belongs to the human species.

Yeah, I prefer to imagine Satoshi is a hot girl

Yes, that's your free low-resolution preview picture which I linked.  Here's the pay download: http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/77

Why do you think Satoshi is a male, not a girl?  You don't have any evidence!  You must have some precontrived notion about gender roles, and assume that Satoshi must be a male because you think girls are not as good at programming or cryptography.  I was simply using an artists public rendering, but I never used "he" or "she" in the bio, since I don't know.   

WTF? That's my artwork! I think Satoshi is a male, not a girl.

I think the last is most probable, but it is probably more along the lines of Nicolas Bourbaki than an AI construct.

Coming next:
- Is Satoshi a zombie ?
- Is Satoshi on crack ?
- Is Satoshi a super-intelligent animal ?
- Is Satoshi a superhero ?
- Is Satoshi lesbian ?
- Is Satoshi an A.I. ?

I think we will have to start preparing for funeral expenses. Since kiba did not accept my nomination, I have taken the initiative to do so myself:

Please contribute to the "Friends of Satoshi Nakamoto, R.I.P. 19XX-2010" funeral fund:

I am preparing a brief bio generated from what information I can find on the internet.  I have included an artist's rendering of what Satoshi is believed to have looked like below:



bio: "Satoshi Nakamoto was a pioneer in the frontier of crypto-anarchy.  Satoshi is most widely known for the creation and development of a cryptographic decentralized peer-to-peer digital currency, dubbed 'bitcoin', which uses a clever proof-of-work scheme to solve the infamous 'double-spending' problem without resorting to the use of a centralized authority.  The currency soon grew, with several millions of dollars worth of bitcoins currently in existence.  This, unfortunately, drew the attention of the authorities, namely governments and banks who felt threated by the erosion of their monopoly power over the issuance of currency and control over trade.  It is presumed that Satoshi was taken down in a raid on his home, due to the potential ability that bitcoin could be used to fund the whistle-blowing journalistic organization 'Wikileaks', which lost its main sources of income (PayPal, Visa, BoA, etc) after exposing government conspiracies and providing transparency to the US State Department's foreign affairs.  However, since bitcoin is a peer-to-peer currency, it will be able to continue to grow despite the death of its creator and spiritual leader, Satoshi Nakamoto."

 


That's why you are on it, idiot!             

This is one of the stupidest thread of the century.

If Satoshi farts, would u guys smell it to determine if he is alive?  Sike!!!

Sirius runs the site's server. The domain doesn't expire until 2018.

Fortunately Bitcoin works just fine without Satoshi.
