Topic: The MOST COMPREHENSIVE LIST of potential Satoshi candidates - page 3. (Read 7214 times)

Why not stop this useless chase of someone who has done so much for us, and for the world, and who obviously prefers to stay anonymous.

Bitcoin is about the idea, not the inventor. Let's put all this energy in further spreading the idea instead.

There have been several attempts to verify the identity but all we have are theories ranging from engineers, researchers and political figures to possibly a group of people. Revealing his identity wouldn't give us anything, but he'd be in danger. Politicians, maybe even some criminals would be interested in him. Additionally, it's his choice, not ours, whether we know him or not.

I have showed the list of Potential Candidates for Satoshi Nakamoto to the Real Satoshi Nakamoto. He said, "who has written this list? Satoshi Nakamoto said, "he will keep 24 on the list and invite all of them to the Bitcoin Round Table Meeting in London. He will request every one to prove for them selves if any one want to prove that he is myself, Satoshi Nakamoto. If every one want to impersonate him to take the credit as he is the Inventor of Bitcoin then he will ask him to write message with his PGP but if 24 of them do sign with their PGP that mean all 24 people are Satoshi Nakamoto. But Satoshi Nakamoto said, He will prove that all of them are impostor of him with his Bitcoin Tail. Then he said, " They, the DPRs has shattered my life, I wish I did not invent the Bitcoin." Now why the real Satoshi Nakamoto regreted for his own invention Bitcoin? The hackers the Dread Pirates Roberts has destroyed Satoshi Nakamoto's usual life.

One of my favourite candidates has always ben Jim McCoy. He has everything that it takes to be him. Here is him talking about a primitive decentralized cryptocurrency in year 2000

David Irvine is also a good candidate, he is pretty much a genius after i've spend some time learning about the Maidsafe project and the project is older than Bitcoin.

Of course Nick is always a potential candidate as well..

Whatever...

I still think it is Dorian.

You Must Know Who is Real Satoshi Nakamoto.

People think no body knows who is real Satoshi Nakamoto, that is not correct. Ted Nelson think Shinichi Mochizuki is Satoshi Nakamoto but he is wrong. Leah M. Goodman thought Dorian Prentice Nakamoto is the Inventor of Bitcoin but she also was wrong. There are more than 24 candidates over the Internet, people speculating one of them could be Satoshi Nakamoto the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin. There are so much speculation and conspiracy theories all around Bitcoin invention and about Satoshi Nakamoto. I have spent two years and £160,000 Pound to find Satoshi Nakamoto. My main interest is to write the true History of Bitcoin but without discovering the real Satoshi Nakamoto the inventor of Bitcoin my book 'History of Bitcoin' will not be completed. This is why I have spent lots of money to discover this mysterious man Satoshi Nakamoto. Today I have come to the the Bitcoin forum to ask question to some prominent Bitcoin forum people, why they have failed to discover the real Satoshi Nakamoto? My investigation suggesting me that top Bitcoin leaders who are in the Bitcoin Foundation know who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto? Why they are scared of Satoshi Nakamoto the man who invented the Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology? There is some thing secret in connection to their affiliation to the Bitcoin. I have uncovered every things and I am going to publish it in the Bitcoin Talk Forum first, so the people who are the members of the Bitcoin Talk Forum will know first the mystery and the secret of Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin is not invented by any one who is a Cyberpunks or any one who is in the Bitcoin community, trading Bitcoin and making huge sums of money out of Bitcoin. But they have forgotten the inventor of Bitcoin who spent 14 years of time to research on digital currency. Finally when he invented Bitcoin in May 2007 and the Hackers from all around the world group together and hijacked his Bitcoin Project with dreadful piracy attack.

Satoshi Nakamoto is a Macro Economist, a mathematician, a digital scientist and social engineer. You all hackers have victimised him very badly and continuously attacking him for your own safety, thinking the world will not know your dreadful piracy. Yes, I have discovered that it is Dread Pirates Roberts a group of three those who have dreadfully attacked Satoshi Nakamoto and hijacked his Bitcoin Project. Satoshi Nakamoto is not a Japanese man but he is a British Commonwealth Citizen. A South Asian British Digital Scientist. Who invented Bitcoin in May 2007 in Croydon South London. You hackers have done a serious inhuman barbaric act to Satoshi Nakamoto. He is a man who has one Mission. Helping mankind but you Computer Hackers now Bitcoin Community leaders have done unforgivable crime against Satoshi Nakamoto but as he is a humble man, he has forgiven you all because he thinks the heaven permitted you to act such way that was a dreadful acts of not less wrong but serious wrong. I have interviewed him and met him many time. How he is suffering and living a miserable  life you can not imagine; but you people have made millions and billions out of his invention Bitcoin and you are now harassing him Psychologically and attacking him bio-chemically to disable him. This type of wicked acts of barbarism in this modern world is unthinkable. You have done a serious wrong things to a great scientist. You do not need to be afraid of judgement. He is not going to take you to court of justice. Andreas Anthonopaulos showed off his charitable kind heart by collecting Bitcoin donation for Dorian Nakamoto who has suffered from Media contact, but how about the inventor of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto? What charitable duty do you have to him? Satoshi Nakamoto said, Good wishes to all the hackers who involved themselves as developers to take the Bitcoin project around the world. Soon he will reward and give Certificate of Accreditation according their Credentials; who has assisted him by creating Bitcoin Market and doing Bitcoin Evangelistic work. I will unmask the Real Satoshi Nakamoto soon. Also I will unmask the Dread Pirate Roberts who first dreafully attacked Satoshi Nakamoto to hijack his Bitcoin Project. Satoshi Nakamoto has tried many times to communicate to the Bitcoin Community leaders but you self styled Bitcoin Bandits have no human heart. But Satoshi Nakamoto said, they are the products of the old world rotten society. They are just greedy to make money by means any how doing organised crimes. He also said, that these computer hackers and jackers is doing a great jobs for him. Thinking they are making money for their greedy interest but indeed they are working for his Bitcoin Project as Robots. Satoshi Nakamoto has announced the Bitcoin Round Table Meeting. He want to invite 24 developers and Computer Hackers who have hijacked his Bitcoin Project. He want to reveal a real mysterious matter about the Bitcoin Invention Story. I will write the whole story here in another post.

I have read the list of the Candidates for Satoshi Nakamoto. Unfortunately non of them is Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto is not any one in the Cyberpunks or in the Bitcoin Community. He is not a Japanese man but he is British Asian.

I've done it, I've cracked the case, Balaji Srinivasan has the same amount of syllables as Satoshi Nakamoto.

oh god please no...  i would also place a very small % chance on this being possible.  If it was what a way to alienate the community from bitcoin overnight.  Keep it quiet if so mark.

I like the idea of David Irvine being Satoshi. Maidsafe is an older project than Bitcoin, therefore there is a solid possibility there that something spawned Bitcoin while developing Maidsafe.

I don't believe it either. There are many other who sound quite ridiculous.
I just put anyone on the list who got mentioned by someone in some forum and as long as it was not meant to be a joke.
Someone might have thought that because of his brilliancy and mystery, he also qualifies for Satoshi.


He isn't SN. Proof: he would have named it Ecocoin.


Well, for some, Newsweek is indeed a long lasting joke

I don't see Al Gore mentioned?

Wait what about that article that says he was found in California?  Is that just an April fools joke or something?  Or is it that we like to have our conspiracy theories regardless of the truth

Out of list 1 and 2. I only know three people.

1. Nick Szabo
2. Gavin Andresen
3. Tim Berners-Lee

And I dont think any of them is Satoshi Nakamoto.

Can I ask why Variety Jones is on the list?
He was a cannabis seeds seller on Silk Road, and apparently Ross Ulbright's mentor.

How did speculate that he could be Satoshi?

Interesting, I hadn't heard that before. Anyone have a photo of Hettinga or other real-world info? (Nothing at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hettinga) My own favorite has been Nick Szabo, with the caveat that "Nick Szabo" itself seems to be a pseudonym as he seems to have no real-life presence and based on a comment of his in the early 90's that imply it was a pseudonym. So I wouldn't be surprised if Satoshi was Nick who was someone like Hettinga.

Half of me hopes we never figure it out. The other half wants answers...

Reminder: my 2011 guess is Hettinga based on language analysis of known forum posts (see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/my-guess-at-satoshi-robert-a-hettinga-49751)

Note that Hettinga knows Chaum so it is possible he used Chaum's code.

Eggs Ackley.  Satoshi did something nearly impossible; he spearheaded a major development, worked with people over an extended period of time, managed to do it without leaving a single shred of evidence linking to the government's name for him, and GOT AWAY WITH IT.  "Satoshi Nakamoto" is the single hottest nym in the world in terms of making trouble for anyone who can ever be proven to have been the guy who used it.

Why the hell would he ever use the single hottest nym in the world again?  It would just give people a chance to catch him.

I say again.  We are all little fish swimming around in an aquarium, constantly watched.  But Satoshi knew the whole system, worked around it, and  HE GOT AWAY WITH IT.  Getting associated with that nym now would blow the whole effort he put into keeping it a secret, and if you understand how much surveillance we're under you know that was a HELL of an effort to do.

NSA/CIA  wouldn't surprise me
