As soon as the media get hold of Szabo... Satoshi will post a signed message, "I am not Nick."

OR (most likely) he wont do anything and let them think that Nick is him.
That way nobody will bother with him again Wink

So that means he's Dorian? Wink

That is a very strong possibility Wink

You never know.
He might as well be Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto Wink

Yes. So when the reporters ask "Did you invent Bitcoin?", he'd say "Satoshi's my middle name, bitch." Grin

And where can we find your sister Lydia, Mr. Nakamoto?

Whoever the media points out to be potentially Satoshi Nakamoto will always be just to create sensation. Nothing more.

We have to live with the fact that we will/may never know who he really is. And to be honest, I don't care. Bitcoin is here. That's all we need.

Szabo publicly stated he is not Satoshi. He will probably sue whoever wrote the book because of all the unwanted publicity he gets from it. I doubt there will be anything in it that conclusively proves he is Satoshi. In fact I bet there is more useful information here on bitcointalk than you could ever find in that book. The author(s) probably picked a few pieces of information off this forum and padded them out with a load of waffle into a whole book.

Well, if Nick is Satoshi, I would deny it till the end of time.... You only need to look at what happened to Dorian, and stay way clear of any acknowledgement that it is true.

The media circus got crazy, for a while...

Nick might have crossed paths with the real Satoshi, with the interest they have in cryptography and Nick's ideas with Bit gold.

Wasn't that just a hacked account and not actually satoshi? Doubt he would come out of the woodwork to deny everytime someone is accused of being him.

and if he want to stay anon, better to not do it, i don't think he even care about all this

And who is Nick Szabo? Οκ the editor of nyt meet a guy with a beard that he introduce himself like Nick Szabo. But is this the real name of this person? Take a look at this email of cypherpunk community

http://cypherpunks.venona.com/date/1993/10/msg00759.html

and especially this

Quote

In my limited experience creating Internet pseudonyms, I've been quite
distracted by the continual need to avoid leaving pointers to my
True Name lying around -- excess mail to/from my True Name, shared
files, common peculiarities (eg misspellings in written text), traceable
logins, etc.

Another big problem I see with pseudonymous reputations
is entry. If most people are blocking posts from new pseudonyms, how
does one get a new reputation established? I've had several years
to establish a net.reputation for "Nick Szabo", and it
might take a long time for any of my pseudonyms to catch up.

I think to find who is really behind the name of Satoshi Nakamoto is like a trip to a cyber rabbit hole. In my opinion Satoshi is not from USA but from Europe. The time pattern of his posts says that/

yeah that would be the quickest way for him to get out of this ..just say he is Satoshi...then on the other hand Satoshi just may think
that is a wonderful idea to stay hidden and might not say zip....

to tell you the truth I'd love to meet satoshi and know it was him just to hang out and talk....i'm 90% likely never to squeal (an offer of natalie portman as a girfriend i may buckle) but in that no one would belove me anyway..in that I am just a normal joe....even if i did know...would not be that hard a secret to keep..especially in that no one would believe me anyway!

I always wonder how much BTC he would have mined in good times

It's been said that he mined over 1M coins but one can never be certain of that because many people mined together with Satoshi from the start stage.

When Satoshi announced the first release of the software, I grabbed it right away. I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run bitcoin. I mined block 70-something,

Now they'll turn this guy's life upside down and in a couple months we'll have another big news calling someone else The Satoshi Cheesy

that seems to be how you 'sell' the news these days

I particularly liked the FUD spread about the NASDAQ going to use the blockchain and bypass Bitcoin.....

there were clarifications on that article that NASDAQ was ..if they did this ...likely going to use the large bitcoin network and colored coin option

no retraction of the big banner headlines that NASDAQ was only going to use the blockchain and bypass bitcoin

but then again the next big story will be NASDAQ WILL use bitcoin ..etc etc....

see 2 or 3x the papers for the same story if you just don't tell the complete story and just the 'proper' amount of misdirection to keep them buying

the overwhelming evidence that satoshi is british ( british spellings and grammer, plus british newspaper reference in genesis) always gets ignored when they try to convince people that satoshi is american.....

That's not really evidence. How do you know it's not just what he wants you to believe? If I was going to try conceal my identity I would try throw people off using different spellings or grammar or logging in at a different timezone etc and I'm not even half as smart as satoshi.

i agree. usually franky1 writes his posts very much to the point with great accuracy. i would expect him to have a different view on this and have a certain distance from articles. spelling and grammar are no indication of him being british.
