Btw... Coincidence that he come around in time of blocksize debate?

nah, block size has been debated since like 5 years ago. people have just been creating this irrational sense of urgency by introducing a protocol that is capable of a hard fork.

he's probably just slow-selling a bit of coin on the off-chance that XT succeeds. very small chance, very small number of coins moved. Cheesy

Obviously he is one of the group (not sure if Bitcoin is work of one person), which created Bitcoin. I just hope he is still active as a developer and he can bring some solutions! Bitcoin really needs someone who is in from the start to raise his voice...

Wait, am I understanding this right? He moved 286 BTC and everyone is freaking out? I am obviously missing something though, 286 BTC moving happens every day?

It is because of the age of the coins. This is the first documented case of coins so old, that were assumed to be satoshis have moved. It is a pretty big event.

Gotcha, so did we know Satoshis coin address at one point? Is there a place I can read some more about this and actually get facts?

He has many addresses, most of them just have one transaction (receiving 50 BTC after mining a block)

I wish he came back and took control of bitcoin. We need him back. Lets start a poll and see how many people want him back.

that sounds problematic. i'm fine with what bitcoin is and what it has become. i'm not sure i like the idea of any "leader" having some kind of dictatorial control -- other devs and hashing power need to keep that in check. what if he had been co-opted? what if his vision had changed to something that we, the community, do not support?

If I properly understood, 286BTC (or something like that) was moved, and so, what's the point ? Each time 2009 blocks move it's possible to see "Satoshi's return" or "Satoshi is back" thread everywhere on the net, it's pretty funny I find Grin

.

I think the point is it doesn't happen very often because there are only a handful of people who mined coins that old. And Satoshi is one of them.

When one person owns that many bitcoins (enough to destroy the market if he dumps) he already has "God" power over the project.

How would we know if Satoshi is back, since we never knew what it was to begin with, we don't know if it is 1 man, woman, or multiple people so how on earth could we know he is back?

Satoshi's coin movement means we are one step closer to Satoshi. If he is a man, woman, group... it does not matter.

If you read the previous six pages of this thread, you would not have asked this question.

Is Satoshi she or he?

Nobody knows (or at least, nobody claims to know). For all we know, Satoshi could be more than one person.

I cannot decide whether something very good is imminent, or bad. but something
