Topic: Lets help Satoshi Nakamoto (Read 1144 times)
You would have to make a new alt coin to do this, and people already have. Also, this would mean early buyers would lose all their coins. Not good.
What, why? Bitcoin is fine as is.
Rubbish thread. Everything OP is saying is pure BS.
GET HIM
You are free to start your own altcoin based on Bitcoin's blockchain, blacklisting the coins you wish to blacklist.

Satoshi loves people.
I'm sure the whole community is invited to move into his parents basement with him.

And in fact many people have tried it and still are trying.
Could you link to such attempts? It would be interesting to see
Folks attempting to do this can't complain about having less users than Bitcoin.
A quick search looking for "bytecoin" will show you the first attempt.
It was simply bitcoin, but with a totally new genesis block, and so, a new blockchain.
lets say transaction bottlenecking happens on a massive scale and in 2016 people finally resort to upping the limit to 2mb.. and again in 2 years upping it to 4 mb and again in 2years(2020) upping it to 8mb..
you may cry that it wil cost alot to hold all that data and start screaming out loud how its doomsday event waiting to happen...
well
do you want to know the cost of holding this data... $1billion dollars............ wait, i lied i just wanted to feed your doomsday mindset..
the actual cost is just $100 to hold between 5-20 years of data even at 8mb dependent on how full each block is. (2tb hard drive $100)
and guess what. in 5 years hard drive capacity will be more, but for less cost.. so a 8tb hard drive might cost you $100 in 2020..
and that would hold 8mb blocks for 20years or 32mb blocks for 5 years..
so the cost of running a full archival node would be $100 every 5 years ($20 a year)
so stop crying, relax, and enjoy bitcoin.. stop trying to ruin, manipulate and scream doomsday for the sake of $20 a year saving

By pruning the blockchain to start from mid 2010. This way his bitcoin stash will be void and people will leave him alone once and for all.
Maria.

People already leave him alone since no one knows who he is. His private life might be just as normal as our private life. He just needs to make sure his coins won't move and lead to his real life.
To the formal definition of your idea we call it Making a New Alt-Coin which is already happening.You can do the same.Pruning can no way benefit the current situation of bitcoin.
I'm not entirely satisfied with the way bitcoin went to this day, and some choices could have been better imho, but what
you're suggesting is nothing other than another alt, and we have enough of that, and i don't see how it would help S.N. in any case.

With hindsight you can always see roads that would've been better. Things went the way they did and brought bitcoin to where we are now. Basically from 0 to a couple of billion worth and lots of infrastructure investments.
Everybody did what they thought was best at that time.
Pruning the blockchain is not the solution, it will also hurt other people and cause distress on the entire community.
You need help not Satoshi Nakamoto. You could use spv wallets w/0 downloading the whole blockchain. Why do you have problems with it?
I don't think "pruning" is possible as all the blocks are related to the very first ones and the ones in between.
Satoshi needs no help.
Satoshi needs no help.
what? 
My suggestion is that the Bitcoin will definatly rule the World some Time

This is nonsense to be honest. Are you suggesting that anything done before that date you are requesting would be seen as invalid? Every early investor would lose their coins (those still holding them). I dont think this is nothing but nuts.
