For me it was always clear that Satoshi was Nick Szabo, their initials are reversed lol. But really, it's not some unknown mysterious guy you never heard of, it's clearly one of the big brains in this discipline but chose (very wisely) to disguise his identity because he must have anticipated many outcomes for Bitcoin that could lead to harmful consequences for him as a person.

..like bright metal on a sullen ground.
Killed? I don't think things are really that bad. I'm sure he just has a stash and waits for the price to increase.

If he would be waiting for a good price, why he didn't sell some at 1000$?

Maybe he did sell other coins he had accumulated.  Also, at that time he could have only sold a small fraction of his main stash at that price; there just wasn't enough liquidity.

It doesn't matter who the real Satoshi is.

There will be a time, where it indeed DOES matter who Satoshi is. Especially interesting will be, what he will do with his 1 million Bitcoins. If you think, that this doesn't matter, you are wrong.

100% agree. And my hunch is Satoshi doesn't intend to leave his stash sitting there forever.

If he is dead, it is possible, that these coins never will be moved.
This would be the most logical reason, why he didn't move these coins after his disappearance, esp when they reached 1000+.

I would say it was a too much of a coincidence, that his disappearance followed Gavins CIA talk.

This could either mean, Satoshi wanted to stay under the radar or he was forced to.

My theory is, that he has been killed and the killers failed to obtain the private keys for Satoshi's wallets.

He is not British that I can tell you for fact,Nor was he one person but 3

He/they were also not economists -- the fixed TXFEE is a noob move.  Way too naive.

Anyone with an Econ 101 background should have known that a PERCENTAGE based field would be more appropriate.

As it is now, small transactions cost more and the large coinflows are essentially a "free-rider"

It costs more computationally to verify multiple inputs vs the likely single in/out of a micro transaction.

It's also clear now that reward mechanism favors the wrong stakeholders.  There is very little incentive to run full nodes (20GB and growing plus the bandwidth for supporting the network of connections)

I recently had to scale back one of my public facing servers at a co-location facility because of the bandwidth costs.

it could be one of satoshi's friends who has done all those things, just to misdirect traces

i think it is not him, and i'm still with the theory that satoshi nakamoto is a mere pseudo name that identify a group of coders, like skydrow or r.g.mechanics ecc...
I agree with you this man can not be Satoshi.There are two possibilities one what you said and the other one is someone wants to be famous and that's why let the NYT to claim about his identity.Satoshi will never come in front nor will be recognized by anyone.

Why not let him be Satoshi? Isn't the IRS looking for someone to lynch for the amount of coins stored in his wallets?

The first draft of the BitLicense stated that, “controlling, administering, or issuing a Virtual Currency” qualifies as Virtual Currency Business Activity subject to licensing. This remains unchanged in the new draft.

If someone proved he was Satoshi would they go after him for controlling, administering, or issuing a Virtual Currency? Can the BitLicense be applied to things that happened before its release? Probably not, but I haven't read the small print yet.
I think the IRS could care less about anything except taxes. Besides, they have no grounds to do anything and Satoshi did nothing wrong. Remember you owe money when you cash out coins, not just for owning them. You could have a billion dollars worth and your tax on them is zero. Now if you sell a billion dollars worth you will owe capitol gains on the growth in value.

You people want to know who is the real Inventor of Bitcoin? Well, any one genuinely want to know who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto means they are not the original hackers, so I am here to reveal the real Satoshi Nakamoto who invented Bitcoin May 2007. He is a British Asian Digital Scientist and Mathematician. His real identity I will reveal but I will do that in an apropriate time in the near future. Satoshi Nakamoto came to the Bitcoin Talk Forum with a Chinese flavour of his Robotic Pseudonym but the Bitcoin Talk Forum leader the Moderator has banned him. The warning message said, he need to appeals to Theymos.

Nick Szabo is also a pseudonym.

Again, it's been assumed by others who are not the real Satoshi Nakamoto. It could very well be Gavin again. SMDH.

Here are the people I think are "Nick Szabo":

Chris DeRose
Jeffrey Robinson (gasp!)
Gavin Andresen
Andreas Antonopolous

someone upload this photo to reddit

That Nick Szabo 4 is not that Niklos Szabo. The Egg man.

Why not asking the author of the photo?

Good question maybe the person who took the picture is satoshi everyone looking at. Who knows only time will say in this matter if the real satoshi will stand up and present himself in the future or not.

I was going to ask him, but the person who took the picture's twitter account shows he already tweeted that "Even Nick Szabo thinks that Nick Szabo is probably Satoshi Nakamoto".

That is not Nick Szabo. Nick Szabo is Niklos Szabo the Hungarian Polish American Tall man. His name in the Never Say Anything  is Nicholas Szabo the Egg man.

I am going to unmask Satoshi Nakamoto. Is the Bitcoin Talk Forum ready to meet Satoshi Nakamoto? When I will unmask the Real Satoshi Nakamoto what are you intend to ask him? Satoshi Nakamoto is a British Asian Digital Scientist who invented Bitcoin on the 9 May 2007 in Croydon South London. I have met him after two years of research on Bitcoin.

What is the deal with you? you seem to be posting this everywhere, I even received a PM. Can you please reveal whatever information you have on Satoshi Nakamoto and share it with us if you are serious at all?

I think he is saying, that all the ugly nerds sitting at this table are involved in cryonics together with the guy from Grateful Dead and they are all Satoshi Nakamoto, right Bruno?

Well now, I'm starting to get really confused. One of them could possibly be Satoshi Nakamoto? I don't think so. Again the same question, why is cryonics involved in this kind of discussion on finding who is the person behind Satoshi?


It is not involved, I think they are talking about Hal Finney but this is not related with Nick Szabo (the one in the image) and neither Satoshi Nakamoto ...

I know Hal Finney's body is cryopreserved, and at some point, people thought that Hal Finney is Satoshi himself. Okay I'm getting the picture now. Smiley

Don't you find it ironic that those involved in cryonics created a system to try to eliminate hard cold cash?
All of this speculation is wrong, if you want to know who is Satoshi Nakamoto then watch Bitcoin Telecast on Youtube. Voice of Satoshi.
