Nakamoto's family describe him as extremely intelligent, moody and obsessively private, a man of few words who screens his phone calls, anonymizes his emails and, for most of his life, has been preoccupied with the two things for which Bitcoin has now become known: money and secrecy.

Then why the FUCK?!?! did he use his real name to correspond with Gavin? Doesn't make sense.

Perhaps the damage was already done with the 2008 paper (?).

If what the article says is true I have the greatest respect for him.


He won't be happy at being found though.  
Being this true or not, this poor oldman is going to have some issues right now, i.e. ppl trying to break into his house to steal private keys or whatever... Moreover, if he is truly the creator of Bitcoin, this is probably very bad news, since he will be forced to "cash out" some of his millions of Bitcoin just not to get kidnapped or killed. In other words, market crash incoming if the article is true.

This may sound stupid but if I were satoshi and had the private keys I'd evenly split the coins onto every address there is now.
[edit] actually split it based on the current distribution of coins. The point is to provably get rid of them


what if somebody else already got the private keys?

I dont buy it. if he can sign a message, then ok. otherwise - FUD.

This article is criminal. Whoever this man is, he's in danger now.

Poor guy, he's going to have to move, get bodyguards, and maybe change his name. What a vicious journalist.

Yeah, posting a pic of his house and the man himself (and without actual concrete PROOF of this guy's involvement) is pretty fucking tacky. And incredibly irresponsible.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"

First, english is not my first language so apologize for not writing essays to rhetorically back up my POV,
Second, i'm not being not constructive; maybe you don't like my sense of humor or my cynicism (which is aimed mostly on Mark and bitcoin heists)
And third, i'm no fan of picky chitchat and referenceless tirades.

So yea, i'd have definitely enjoy drawing pistols at dawn with you, but lets not make it that dramatic, since deep down, we all are here for the same reasons.

Anyho, im not saying you always talk BS (although im certainly not going to agree about this billion $ you are fanatically conjuring). Just that i also dont like being insulted. And at least I backed up my answer to you with a reference, which you clearly did not when calling me a liar or stupid..

So lets burry the War Axe and move on to more interesting subjects.

And since you seem to like latin quotes here you go:

Oculi plus vident quam oculus

Cheesy

I am NOT in the practice of putting posters on ignore; however, I do place them in a mental category regarding whether they tend to add value. 

Here, it appears that the ONLY value that HDBuck seems to add is the entertainment value of distraction from the topic of the thread.

Yes it is sad.  He just wants to be left alone.

Guys, did you actually read the damn article?

Here's what seems to be the "proof" that the writer really identified (and met) Satoshi:

Quote
Tacitly acknowledging his role in the Bitcoin project, he looks down, staring at the pavement and categorically refuses to answer questions.

"I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it," he says, dismissing all further queries with a swat of his left hand. "It's been turned over to other people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have any connection."

...

A "tacit acknowledgement" by looking down, and a quote that I'm nearly sure is not in any way recorded.

Yeah... I'm going to wait that one out.

Even so, Bitcoin is vulnerable to massive theft, fraud and scandal, which has seen the price of Bitcoins whipsaw from more than $1,200 each last year to as little as $130 in late February.
I hate reporters!!

Yeah it went down to $102.  Get it right guys !

No immediate impact on market.  Could put the wind up people that he is actually real though.

Uh oh. Tinfoilers going to have a field day with this comment:

He is someone with a penchant for collecting model trains and a career shrouded in secrecy, having done classified work for major corporations and the U.S. military.

I mean, MODEL TRAINS? What could be more sinister?  Wink

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
You can summarize this long rant into "I'm right, even if I'm not right". Religious nuts like these create more harm then good to bitcoin imo.

This could be said of you as well.

Whats up with intelligent people arguing desperately against bitcoin in a bitcoin forum like Jorge Trollfi and you, kkaspar?
Is there a point in shouting bitcoin will fail to a group that mostly believe in bitcoin? What if you actually turn out to be right?
You gain absolutely nothing from this. And don't come with the "I'm only here to help" argument. Thats utter bullshit


It does become very diffcult to understand their purposes in being in these kinds of forums, and maybe in the end they are merely paid by some big bank or something to undermine bitcoin and to spread disinformation and to distract us from engaging in meaningful discussions about bitcoin.

If its true I'm really disapointed.

How long till a daughter gets kidnapped for ransom or something similar. In fact if its not him the hassle about to land on this guys head is unfathomable.

The strangest thing to me is that he goes on about him being a private secretive man so why would he use his real name?

Can someone post a re-print?
I clicked on the link and got "You have reached the limit of 5 free articles a month" even though I never visited their site before!
