I think we will never know who is Satoshi, or who are Satoshi.

Satoshi need to have a very big balls of steel to reveal himself to the world, couse a lot of governments have a looooot of questions to him  Cry

Obviously its not that guy lol. Satoshi is more clever than that to not let traces back to him, although his face and age really confirms everything about him.

Satoshi probably has an IQ of 250 atleast, because bitcoin was way too flawless, the technology itself, so he is not that stupid to let himself be found that easily./

they never said he was tracked (like in a cyber way tracked). most evidence on that "case" is circumstantial, like his name and a few other things.

Yea but Dorian Nakamoto is too similar to Satoshi Nakamoto, he just probably picked the entire phonebook , scanned it, and randomized the names so that he would pick a random name from there. He is definitely not that stupid to use any reference to his real name in his pseudoname.

Also i dont think he is from Japan, he wants to hide himself very good so, he probably picked a random country too. Japan is a good pick because it has high technology, so it would not seem too strange.

It would be funny if he would be from africa or south america, but disguising himself as a totally different character from a different culture, just to fake his identity and not let traces.

Satoshi is too busy with his train hobby:



Oh you mean THAT Satoshi!  Well, we'll never truly know for sure...

Banks and old school types aren't going to 'take him out'. It's out of his hands anyway. Everyone knows who developed bittorrent and nothing's been done to them. I think it's simply for the sake of a quiet life. Life is a whole lot more manageable when you're just another nobody.
Yes but banks count not care about bittorrent less. However bitcoin is a direct threat and a very big one against their monopolistic cartel over the monetary supply.

And for that they could take him out, i mean they did that with the CEO of that first bitcoin exchange.

Young woman with bright career and kids , suicided herself accidentally with a little help from a 3 letter agency. Pretty obvious to me that these banksters don't play around, the are very serious about it.

However since satoshi gave out the protocol and the blueprint already, taking him out after would only expose their criminal nasty asses.

They'd had to take him out before he exposed his project , not after it. So if satoshi would reveal himself now, they could probably put some  bogus charges on him for counterfeiting or blablabla, but i dont think they would.

So i think satoshi can now easily reveal himself, because the dice has already been cast a few years ago, now we need a strong philosophical leader to push bitcoin onto the world.

I don't understand why he doesn't reveal himself, it's just stupid to play the game of hide & seek.

He should be better than this, reveal himself and go back to work on bitcoin. He just left bitcoin and many people think that he abandoned it which puts a negative reputation to him.

Does anyone1 else agrees?

It's a very valid question.

If we stay with the idea of Satoshi as a private individual rather than NSA/aliens,

Bitcoin first appeared on the cryptographic mailing list. Right off the bat that tells us he's not going to be someone with the slightest interest in the rest of the world knowing who he is.  

If he did announce himself he'd be hounded forever more. Not for breaking any laws but for his perceived wealth and what he gave the world. There's no way I could put up with that amount of attention.

If you do believe it was a three letter agency, and that's quite possible too, then the silence is obvious as well.

Probably because he is afraid of Government, Bank agents etc...?

You can't conclude now because we don't know "who" Satoshi is. What if one of the Bitcoin devs is Satoshi? You can't support a thing forever. He gave an idea, helped it in the beginning and gave it into safe hands.

Well the "dice is cast" now isnt it?

They can't stop bitcoin now so why would the governments try to hurt him?

Besides the bitcoin foundation is doing a pretty bad job to promote bitcoin, it woul be better if it would have an iconic leader so that people would know it better.

I searched whole internet for posts written by Satoshi. And I find his last post. It is here: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source?commentId=2003008%3AComment%3A52186

 "I am not Dorian Nakamoto."

So he is not inactive like some may think. He is lurking around.

This is nothing new.

This incident is very well known and has been discussed numerous times in this forum.

Apparently Satoshi's account was hacked and the hacker posted this. The message was not signed, so nobody believes it to be from Satoshi.

Personally, my guess is that he's dead.

Do you think the banksters or the government got to him?

After all he disrupted the ponzi scheme of the banking cartel and i`m sure many investment bankers play darts using satoshi as their target.

It's just insane how evil those guys are, so even if satoshi is dead he will be remembered as a martyr for financial liberty!

He used UK spelling so it's unlikely he could be Nick Szabo or Mr. Finney

I'd like to think if anyone knew who Satoshi Nakamoto was it'd be Mr. Finney:

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

Hal Finney would probably know who Satoshi was, or in a plot twist, maybe Mr. Finney was Satoshi all along...

We'll never know.  RIP Hal Finney.

If you read some of the earliest posts made by Satoshi in the original cryptography mailing list, you can find many conversations that happened between him and Hal Finney as well as a few other members of the cryptography community at the time. They're pretty insightful and definitely worth a read. And unless he's the type of person who talks with himself, I doubt they are the same person. Grin

One of my favorite conversations is this one where the two discuss the possible future value of Bitcoin:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10142.html

Quote from: Hal Finney
One immediate problem with any new currency is how to value it. Even ignoring the practical problem that virtually no one will accept it at first, there is still a difficulty in coming up with a reasonable argument in favor of a particular non-zero value for the coins.

As an amusing thought experiment, imagine that Bitcoin is successful and becomes the dominant payment system in use throughout the world.  Then the total value of the currency should be equal to the total value of all the wealth in the world. Current estimates of total worldwide household wealth that I have found range from $100 trillion to $300 trillion. With 20 million coins, that gives each coin a value of about $10 million.

So the possibility of generating coins today with a few cents of compute time may be quite a good bet, with a payoff of something like 100 million to 1! Even if the odds of Bitcoin succeeding to this degree are slim, are they really 100 million to one against? Something to think about...

Gotta love this part:

Quote from: Satoshi Nakamoto
It could get started in a narrow niche like reward points, donation tokens, currency for a game or micropayments for adult sites.  Initially it can be used in proof-of-work applications for services that could almost be free but not quite...

...It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on.  If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.  Once it gets bootstrapped, there are so many applications if you could effortlessly pay a few cents to a website as easily as dropping coins in a vending machine.

As for what Satoshi did after he left the forums, I've even heard rumors that went on the develop altcoins. I know it's quite popular for altcoins with mysterious devs to claim that they are actually Satoshi in disguise. The Bytecoin community toyed with the idea. NXT did so as well. Others believe that he is actually Nick Szabo who seems oddly enthusiastic about Ethereum...

Apparently his last post on bitcointalk was in 2011 or so,

Actually December 12, 2010 (depending on your time zone).

does anyone know where he went (in terms of the Internet, is he still developing bitcoin or has he left the scene)?

Nobody even knows who he is.  He disappeared and hasn't been heard from in over 4 years.

He might still be active on the internet and might even still be participating in Bitcoin without anyone knowing who he really is.

Personally, my guess is that he's dead.

I'd like to think if anyone knew who Satoshi Nakamoto was it'd be Mr. Finney:
