Why not let it be? I'm for it  but I'm a minority, the majority can't and won't for the same reason they demand to be regulated like robots. People can't respect privacy and responsibility.

I AM SATOSHI!!!!

NO I AM SATOSHI

NO I AM SATOSHI




Satoshi isn't one person, for those wondering  

This technology gives you anonymity, but does not give you decentalization.

what is bounty on satoshi

I am satoshi 

well for me, satoshi is/are person whom i will really want to know at certain time & learn more.
Satoshi & his/their ideas is interesting to know for me atleast. The more you come to know about him, more you want to know!

There are some strong historical links between the group of mentioned individuals and my own theory.

The field of cryptography and e-cash systems back in 2008 / 2009 (and prior to that) was really rather limited. Most of these individuals attended similar conferences and/or published related cryptography, security and online privacy papers etc.

Yossi Nagy Moti - sound familiar to anyone ?

Shinichi Mochizuki is a very unlikely candidate in my honest opinion.

This guy actually does sound like a real candidate. I assumed either Satoshi was a genius, or a group of very good engineers.

I'd prefer this version of who Shatoshi Nakamoto is

Gavin doesn't work for Google, Mike Hearn does.

  Satoshi is a genius. He can remain unknown for all I care. We all mine for Bitcoins that he created the programs for. I agree, maybe he should remain unknown. Just for the reason, "legal problems". I thank him myself for Bitcoins. It pays my rent and feeds me. Plus has given me progamming skills that I didn't have before. I thank him for this. I don't think that he is Gavin though. If Gavin is Satoshi, he have had a big workload for years. Gavin works for Google at the present time. He also is promoting Linux programs and software. I can't see Gavin been Satoshi. HJe would be a busy man if he was. He would be to worn out to work on such a complex system a Bitcoin.

Is it not potentially dangerous for Satoshi if he/she/they are identified?

Think of the legal ramifications. Although Bitcoins legal position is at least a little bit hazy in most jurisdictions, there's bound to be some jurisdiction at some point that puts responsibility on the service provider, failing that, the service creator.

There's potentially a lot of tax that has gone unpaid because of Bitcoin and I'm sure the tax people would love to have someone to at least try and blame and recoup their losses from....


I'd love to know who Satoshi is, even if it's just to buy them a beer for their work. But I think, as mentioned previously, the selfless mystery creator(s) sacrificing fame and fortune for the good of mankind adds a certain element to Bitcoin, even if it just makes for good publicity.

Whilst a Satoshi Witch Hunt maybe interesting, novel etc. it's pretty selfish. He (she/they) created something for us all and all they asked for in return is a bit of privacy, for whatever reason. Leaving their identity unknown is the least we could do for them. If he/she/they wants to be known, I'm sure he/she/they will do it in their own time and on their own terms.

(aside: "selfless mystery creator(s) sacrificing fame and fortune for the good of mankind" conjures up images of religious folk knocking on my door offering me a flier with a picture of a man nailed to a cross on the front.)

Maybe that was a part of the deception, old boy?

At the risk of repeating myself: the most likely Satoshi candidate is Robert Hettinga.

It cannot be Michael Clear (among other reasons) because the Satoshi web posts show knowledge and culture dating to the 1980s. Michael Clear is a young man and could not have made those posts which were made by a man in his late 40s or 50s.

Did anyone notice that anarchy is back on the forum? Might have insight on our discussion. He was always on the forum during nov-dec 2010 when I first joined. Then went quiet except during times of high stress or high gains, didn't believe it was the same person until yesterday.

The typical scenario for having knowledge of the presented paper but no published reference to it is having the meeting program (given to attendees). You cite that way before the proceeding are published (which is some time after the meeting).  But if someone's put it out publicly and not cited it as "in the proceedings of..." it's gonna get propagated that way.

It would be nice to at least look at the proceedings from the meeting though.

Also, what is more interesting - check out the headers of this URL:


So this document is almost 20 years old !

They had more than enough time...

Maybe it's time for you to get a better wife.

Nah.  He's a thinker and doer.  Not one to sit on the beach.  I've often thought about what he's up to now, because he's got the funds to really make an impact now.  I suspect he's been working on v2, on the side if nothing else.  The last 3 years have given him a ton of real-life data to work with.

I suspect he's someone with a wife and young children.  Someone young and with no family would have more freedom to face the legal and political ramifications of inventing a new currency.  Once you have a family, you have obligations to people other than yourself.  Plus, my wife would kill me if I did something like this without anonymity.

OTOH, given the break-from-the-norm and decentralized nature of Bitcoin, perhaps maintaining a mystery head is exactly in line with what Bitcoin is all about anyway.
