Topic: Satoshi is among us (Read 3210 times)

I like the idea that he created CN coins.
Being able to spend coins silently mined in the beggining without whole world waching seems a vast improvement 

If he is alive and a single person I have no doubt that he regularly browses this forum.

Does it matter ? He has done what he wanted to and could. And he is doing what he wants to and can. Time to respect his privacy friends. If his privacy wasn't so important to him he should be replying to this post. But he never did, right?

The early adopters probably earned much more than that. He would easily have gone for around 200 Million.

I still don't understand, why he doesn't want to comeback in now.

He probably wanted a nice round 20 million bitcoins, so he mined the first million into a bit bucket.

maybe he is present among us in this forum, perhaps the admin, maybe the owner, may only members, and perhaps he is leave a comment here .. anything is possible

It isnt really a problem, its their coins he can do whatever, and there are enough coins for everyone anyway.

He is probably dead, but his coins are a cancer on Bitcoin.

It is the one mistake he has made not resolving the issue of his million coins.

It's time for this guy to get some responsability and come out of the closet as Nakamoto, then run for president of the USA.

America has been discriminating against its Sasquatch minority for ages now.  They're living here undocumented and can't even get work permits or social security services.  But every last one of them was born in the USA, to parents born in the USA, and they ought to be treated as citizens!

Some say it's their own fault for not getting on board with the peace treaties as other native tribes did.  But, honestly  that was a century ago!  Can't we let bygones be bygones and welcome our native sons?

How r u so sure of it?

I know bitcoin is created by 2 people: an American and an Englishman.

Satoshi is an alien/ET and when he returns rides on his ship will cost 10 BTC, so make sure you have enough!

Don't get me wrong, I understand Bitcoin with smart contracts would only be general AI, the "Chinese Room" type but it is still is the foundation for the beginning of strong AI.

The Singularity (Strong AI):

The human brain doesn't need to build a smarter brain. It just needs to build something of equivalent smartness (which should be theoretically possible, there's no reason to believe the human brain is the upper bound for all generalised reasoning ability) on a substrate like silicon which is subject to Moore's Law (and thus gets inherently faster with time) and which is immortal and duplicable.

Build 1 functioning brain in silicon, and:

- 18 months later you can build one that's twice as fast using the same principles

- duplicate this brain and get the power of multiple people thinking together (but with greater bandwidth between them than any human group)

- run this brain for 100 years and get an older intellectually functioning human than has ever existed before

- duplicate whatever learning this brain has accumulated over 100 years (which, say, brings to the level of an Einstein) as many times as you have physical resources for (so, clone Einstein)
All those are paths to super-human AI from the production of a human-intelligence brain in a non-biological form.

So, if a human brain can make a computer brain, which is a reasonable assumption, then a human brain can make a brain smarter than itself.

Building a human brain in a non-biological substrate is not a miracle. It would be a miracle in the same way that transistors and penicillin are, not in the way that Jesus' resurrection is. I.e., a fantastic, happy, unlikely but possible event that will change the world for the better.

We know that human brains can be built in some way: we have the evidence for that claim inside billions of skulls. The question is then not to push the theoretical boundaries of computational capability beyond some theoretical level - but merely to achieve it again artificially.

We never know

I heard he was running a car wash just off the A20 here in the UK.

and he has a lot of gray in his hair.

What if he's not human?? there is already speculation on whether he is from the future or not..but even this is possible.!
