Anyone know how many addresses Satoshi may have (from the beginning), I mean is there any talk about the beginning days beyond the white paper?

Sergio Lerner has spent more time and effort than is really healthy tracking down which Bitcoin addresses belong to Satoshi. You can read his opinions, and his reasoning/methodology, here.

https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/the-well-deserved-fortune-of-satoshi-nakamoto/

As best he can make out, Satoshi has something 1.14M bitcoins.

As such, Satoshi has already made history, back when Bitcoin was poking its nose above $1000 per coin, as the first anonymous billionaire of the 21st Century.

But as far as I could tell, he only mined to secure the blockchain. I don't think he has any interest in those coins.

I wish someone had an estimate of how many of those coins did satoshi sell.

Just found something
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-and-me-hal-finney-155054

the BTC addres might belong to Hal Finney , seeing how he says ,
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, and I was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test. I carried on an email conversation with Satoshi over the next few days, mostly me reporting bugs and him fixing them.

It's sad we lost such a great person and may be those bitcoins along with him
may he Rest in Peace

It's just strange to think that Satoshi or Hall thought of those coins as we think of todays Satoshi's. {zero value}

It is sad that those coins are lost forever... Sad

..... If I was Satoshi, I would send it to a account owned by our MtGox King... shift all the spotlight onto the bad boys of bitcoin. {Let them explain}

This will be one of the biggest unsolved mysteries of the world. {Why leave such a huge treasure?} ---> dubbed the "Million coin mystery" Grin

It is possible that this address belongs to Satoshi , though it's not sure.
Even if it is , they might probably not have forgetten or lost them , they are just lying there .

This sounds about right. I think a lot of people like to speculate about satoshi but ...
Satoshi appears to want to be left alone and we should respect that.

Yep! totally agree with that and respect the privacy of our GodFather Wink

How do we know for sure these are Satoshi's old addresses? is there a way to tell?

No there is no way to tell if it's satoshi or even who actually own this
We don't even know if the guy who really owns this , remember about it anymore

i'm sure if bitcoin in that address start moving somewhere else, bitcoin world will be boisterous Cheesy

and markets start panic because they think satoshi will dump bitcoin in his possesion

It might rather be the case if they move , but that might mean that he is onto something bigger too Wink

Quote from: pooya87 on March 01, 2015, 10:32:53 AM

reading through the other people's comments, made me wonder if it is really one of the satoshi's addresses or just some early adopter who probably mined the 264 th block, got the reward in one of hos addresses and gave up bitcoin, since the price was too low.
if this is right we have a very sad person here who lost a great opportunity!

It might be true but as it was stated the genesis block was on 3rd jan 2009 , the first block on 9th jan 2009
and for some months satoshi and some other starters were the only one who mined , maybe people like Hal Finney

Why are we all of a sudden trying to figure out which addresses are Satoshi's?

It's not sudden, anything related to satoshi always catches interest , even if it's not satoshi's , these coins are way way old
