Topic: Satoshi Speaks. Real? Hoax? - page 2. (Read 4879 times)

It can't be proven, whether it is real or not. That does not change the fact that this message carries truth. Bitcoin is changing and from being totally free from centralized steering it becomes influenced by leaders.
What do we do about this?

Well if it does not work then that will indeed cause people to stop using and look elsewhere. Tao much work has been done on BTC for it to fail. It just needs the right things doing to it to make it grow and continue to be used world wide and for it to go mainstream. All that needs to happen with BTC is for it to be re done from the ground upwards or taking a hit an sections that need most work on and then  updating and release made. With the current updates and new block sizes is good in some ways but not in others. No doubt only time will tell on this matter and if current problems get addressed and fixed and can get past the bumpy times like now.

I doubt it is too dangerous for satoshi to return even making a return anonymously, working and submitting stuff from different locations would be a starting point.
If it really was Satoshi thinking more on the subject, would he if he really cares about Bitcoin that much would actually send some code to be checked out and maybe worked on it and Satoshi says here is a review of what is current and how can be improved. If I had the knowledge to wright code and improve Bitcoin I would. I would take some of my own ideas that I have submitted a number of times but never seem to get listened to would improve bitcoin as a whole. Far more needs to be done than just what is current and many other coins adopt these ideas to making much more secure and feature rich. If Bitcoin and the current development team can not see and think outside the box, then it will collapse as many are currently suggesting, that it could well happen in the future.

Too dangerous. Just use what already exists, but be extra careful. If it works, good. If it doesn't, oh well.

he/she didn't sign their message through PGP. I doubt this mail is real or of any value.

I would following him. For a simple guy like me it is hard figure out what is FUD and what is truth here. I would trust Satoshis word and follow his lead.

Weather or not it is or it is not Satoshi the person sending does have some valid points on the nature of what BTC was and is meant for. If it was Satoshi and is following what is going on, maybe Satoshi should come back and reinvent Bitcoin and make it how he wanted to see it in the future and make continued updates or even to release a new coin under satoshis control and his only. am sure he can do it as he started out with Bitcoin. If it is Real and not a Hoax then Satoshi stand up for what you have made and show the current developers how it is meant to be done. If it is a Hoax then game on at finding the real satoshi and getting his comments public.

A PGP-Signed message is a way to prove that Satoshi is Satoshi, but however, I didn't see any message that Satoshi signed with a PGP key on it. Maybe those within his "inner circles" could confirm this one?

He's the founder of bitcoin but that doesn't mean that we should follow what he says (authoritarian control lol). Again, it is up for the economy to decide on which is which.

Nothing. He's just a user like everyone else ( But a user with a LOT of BTC ha ha ). It's not because that Satoshi say something that we have to follow him ^^

yeah, that would be good.   maybe satoshi could choose.

iam okay with BIP 100 / BIP 101 or Bitcoin XT. But bitcoin must scale.

you are welcome bro (I ment it seriously).

I am also following the core, don't want to take part of that altcoin-name-jacking.

If satoshied signed the message with they key for the genesis block then would it be a pretty god damn solid stament that would send shock waves through the community.

thanks broh. i just try to follow satoshis vision of bitcoin (and not blockstreams vision).
i would love to see BIP 101 with bitcoin core but 3-4 devs want to harm bitcoin  .


but i guess this message was not from satoshi. satoshi would add a proof.

what if he really satoshi?
what will happen with bitcoin?

Cover-up (COUGH) cover-up.

Cant make up my mind. Only really care about playing some games and drink some booze. What do you think? I have followed you here in the forum for a while. I think you have some good points.

Satoshi used an email account from anonymousspeech.com which lets you pay by cash in the mail to preserve your anonymity. He set up this forum using the same payment system of cash in the mail and only accessed it through Tor. Why would he go to all that trouble to preserve his anonymity and then reveal his identity to some early adopters? I don't believe any early adopters knew his real identity.

so what do you think now? real or hoax? make a decision  

more than most likely 

That is a good point. It is most likely a hoax. But I am hopeing that it is real both to kill the bitcoin XT but also have the great Satoshi back in our community to show us the way.

I think it is hoax. Satoshi would not write "I will have no choice but to declare Bitcoin a failed project"

I think it is real. The great satoshi as spoken. It would be really nice if the would sign the message so that whole bitcoin XT talk could rest in peace once in for all.

and of course no proof that it is Satoshi - because now it is more fun 

HOAX!
