This has to be one of the worst suggestions ever. Instead seeing satoshi being anonymous as a big Bitcoin advantage, some people actually want a whole board dedicated just for speculation who he actually is.
Smh...

We can have a thread for it but to dedicate a board for this is just not a good idea. Also, OP is a newbie so I give benefit of the doubt to him that by "Sub Forum" he meant a thread and not a "Board".
By the way, no one knows who is Satoshi, so better keep him anonymous, its good for bitcoin.

Do not forget, Satoshi Nakamoto started, or should I say created this forum...

Satoshi didn't create the bitcointalk brand and never posted on the forum as we know it today.

If you look at the OP's post history, you can see that he is very concerned about this topic.
He tells everyone about Robert Tappan Morris Jr. with enviable regularity.

It's probably Satoshi himself who controls the account and is diverting attention to Robert. Classic Satoshi, just like I remember him.

He also thinks that God himself could have invented bitcoin.

That makes no sense. We all know it was the Mormons.

Registration 2014 and only 9 posts, pretty weird behavior, and half of them are about who created Bitcoin. OP, why do you care so much?

Very strange indeed that he wants to have a "who is satoshi" sub-forum, so he can post all his theories and manipulate people on who is Satoshi, this is a subject that we all need to leave alone because Satoshi himself in the first place don't want to be traced and it will give newbies confusion because people will post who they think and what they think about Satoshi because they have a section created for them, some people might end up pointing to Putin as the real Nakamoto Cheesy

This is a bit of a misconception among later arrivals here. In actuality, satoshi not only didn’t create this forum, he never posted on bitcointalk. It appears he did because his posts are here, but it wasn’t bitcointalk when he made those posts. That came later after he had already left the community.

For further clarification, he created the Bitcoin Forum, which is what this forum is actually still called. It just migrated from forum.bitcoin.org to bitcointalk.org in July 2011.

We should have a "who is satoshi" subforum, since it comes up so often.

Several threads have been opened on this forum about Satoshi Nakamoto which various users before me have mentioned in their posts. Better not to open a new thread/subthread about him. There have been many discussions and criticisms about Satoshi Nakamoto at various times, but no matter how many discussions and criticisms have been made about him, it has not been possible to find any definite information about him. Whether he is actually human or alien, whether he is alive or dead is still unknown. Craig Wright claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but his claim was ultimately rejected due to lack of evidence. But one thing is certain for now that Satoshi Nakamoto may not be in the public eye ever.

I gathered every Satoshi Nakamoto thread.

That topic can be pinned in Bitcoin discussion or Beginners & Help.

If a new subforum is created for it, that topic is a good sticky thread too.

Users of this forum who have been here long enough know better than going about asking or wanting to know who Satoshi Nakamoto is.

Newbies will keep asking because they are late comers and if we have a sub-forum for who is Satoshi it will be abused because we cannot get the right fact on who really is Satoshi, it will lead to a lot of speculation, drama hearsay, and will confuse everybody, just leave those who claim that they are the real Satoshi Nakamoto to prove their claim elsewhere and don't drag this forum to that subject.

Mostly, those who create threads, maybe in the beginners and help or Bitcoin discussion board asking about who Satoshi Nakamoto is are all newbies, and it is also a pointer that if such a sub forum should be created, it will turn out to be an avenue for newbies shitposting.

The who is Satoshi topic is one of the most used-up topics in the early days, we have passed all this and moved on, the subject is redundant and will lead to so many speculations, people will just point fingers at who they think Satoshi is based only on their perception and many idiots will come here to proclaimed themselves as Satoshi.
I remember one by the name of SatoshiMoses, I can't remember the exact username but this guy makes fun of this forum, we don't want this to happen again.

If the forum wants an additional subforum is it the one of "who is Satoshi" board threads? Doesn't it sound weird that the almighty btt forum has a sub-forum of people asking who is Satoshi.

There are other bigger things that btt forum would like to consider in the future when bringing upon the forum to implement but not as this one sounds childish and funny

The only way I think something like this would be a good idea is if when you click on the subforum it's just a list of people who are NOT satoshi. Maybe another option could have it be a link to a picture of Craig Wright with big red letters across the image saying "NOT SATOSHI" which I would find hilarious. I'm sure the forum doesn't want to get sued by a psycho though, so it's probably better if instead of trying to pick apart the intentions of it's creator, we decide to just enjoy and build on the idea that was created and given to us for free.

@OP, you are right, he is british, actually he graduated in england and had a trip to japan where he came up with the idea of bitcoin.

Why do you think that such subforum is needed? We all know that Craig Wright is Satoshi. Ok, now seriously, this question appears on Bitcointalk sometimes, but such board isn't needed at all. You think that's Robert Tappan Morris, other people have different predictions. But what's the point of it when nobody won't be able to prove that they're right. It's just pointless speculation.

I've been reading the book of satoshi by Champagne. Starting to think he is of british origin, nz, or australian. IE: Referring to an apartment as a 'flat'.

On a tangent, where are the archives of the original [email protected]?

Quote from: acroman08 on November 02, 2022, 01:40:48 PM

but the dude wants to be left alone/stay anonymous and we should give him that as a form of respect for what he created.

This is the same thing I've said repeatedly in different threads talking about Satoshi and wanting to unearth his identity. The dude doesn't want to be known (at least not now), and I think it should be kept that way. To be honest with you, there are times I thought to myself that the Satoshi thing could even be several individuals in a group under that name. That's there's no single individual with that Identity. BTW, this whole forum is about Satoshi and Bitcoin in the first place. It's unnecessary trying to dedicate a sub-forum to such an exercise in futility.

This is one of those request over the forum which don't have any base and need to implement it.Do you recognise that there is new forum software and many important decisions pending by @theymos to be implemented on the forum and you are suggesting another sub forum to carry on pointless discussion about who is satoshi?

Okay what names you suggest that can be potential candidates for mystry man but those who are self proclaimed they are the scammers who will end up bad and you only need to sign message and if you can't do it how in the hell you convince others about the same? We already have hundreds of thread on forum like who is satoshi and all those baseless discussion in them and it's no need to do this so don't waste time on these discussions and keep going the same way.

No, we shouldn't. There is absolutely no good that could possibly come from identifying satoshi at this point. It could only be bad. Attacks on his personal character to discredit Bitcoin. Maybe using his personal political beliefs to try and splinter the community. He could be arrested for his creation. It would make him the biggest kidnapping target on the planet... Why would he want to be known at this point and if you can agree he wouldn't want to be known, then why would we go out of our why to try and identify him? Seems like a shitty way to give thanks to the person who gave life to the concept that will change the world.

Answer 2.

Quote from: nintendo1889 on November 02, 2022, 11:21:23 AM

Personally I think it could be Robert Tappan Morris Jr: Made the first internet worm - 1988.

Unless a person is willing to come out and sign a message with one of the addresses "known to be Satoshi's", nobody will take him really serious.
Writing style, background and so on.. will be probably checked afterwards.

Since Satoshi Nakatomo wants his privacy, we should give him/her that respect, let's forget a subforum for unveiling what is not lost. Who knows, he might be the guy in the picture below posted by @NeuroticFish. I've always pictured the same person in my dreams, and coincidentally his image reads 'Satoshi' among the pictures there. What a coincidence!
