Topic: What If Satoshi Actually Lost His Private Keys - page 3. (Read 3456 times)
I assume no one knows, since the coins have not moved for quite some time.
How can satoshi the creator of btc, such a genius lost his private key? no i highly doubt that, the man is too smart to loss something that valuable, i won't be surprise if those private keys are customized 
and don't forget that once satoshi signed with those private keys that will send signal of his come back and that is something he is not interested in at least for the past 10 years and i don't see the reason why now.

Hoaxtoshi is a liar and fraud, and honestly doesn't does not understand how cryptography works. He simply hopes to pull wool over enough eyes to create publicity for himself.
That's correct. Still, he has tried to make people believe he's Satoshi and failed, and the main reason is that he didn't provide the cryptographic proof. And that's what we discuss about now.
If somebody hacks Satoshi's bitcointalk account trying to make the world believe he's Satoshi... will he be any better than CSW? Nope.
>Would a post here be enough proof?
Lol, this is a troll right?
Not your keys, not your Bitcoin so also not your cryptographic identity if you lose gpg keys.
I guess so. Craig Wright has already "proven" big time that without proper cryptographic proof of having the keys, the big majority will never believe you whatever you try.
Of course, it could trigger a background check, it could make some people believe him, but .. only could and some.

All these theories are just that. For my vote, there is absolutely NO way Satoshi lost his/her private keys. He may be dead (doubtful) but if so then he is not the one claiming to be Satoshi now is he? I cannot imagine seeing evidence that would convince me if he/she can't sign the btc address.
There is actually no way that the real Satoshi is gonna reveal his identity, a man/woman who decided to create an anonymous and almost untraceable digital currency would definitely wants to be anonymous and live his private life. He/she wouldn't be out there claiming to be the creator of the Bitcoins and birthing cryptos into existence.What about other coin developer that built those other crypto coins that we currently see today ? We can see thier devs on public and they are not afraid to expose thier identity even if they knew that someon can get jelous and do threats with them but they are still here alive and kicking until now . nothing really wrong with that to show up and it does not matter at all even if your creation was anonymous or decentralized

Satoshi is fine and well, wherever he is. That is what we all should take home from these discussions. Even if he no longer lives, he has made one of the greatest impacts in the human history and will forever lives on. There are few people like him ever lived and history will always remember all the geniuses, past and present.
Only rare breeds could create something like Bitcoin with no intention of ever profiting from it nor ever taking the glory. We salute him, and humanity will forever remain grateful to him for this reason, for creating one of the most amazing inventions ever made and giving it out freely.
Dear Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto,
Wherever you are and whatever your real identity is, heaven will always remember you.
Thank you!
Now, I think theymos knows a lot

1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum. 3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address).

I would not like to believe that the creator of bitcoin will loss his private key. If somehow really he loss it then I do not see how he will prove himself as satoshi
I agree with you here, without the signature from his address, every claim of identity becomes worthless and not to be trusted.There is no way satoshi is coming on his bitcointalk account again, as his account currently is being secured by theymos to avoid impersonation, he'll first have to prove himself to be the actual creator of the bitcoin before the account can be handed over to him.
We just need to let go of all this theories, speculations, and guess works, and just believe satoshi is fine wherever he is, just as his creation(bitcoin)is fine in our hands.
What story are you talking of mate? Was their ever a story claiming that satoshi lost his key? I don’t think he did lose those keys for good and the key is safe with him, what satoshi is just waiting for is that moment where bitcoin will be very expensive and once that happens, that might make him the richest man in earth and also the most influential man.
If satoshi even lost his key, he wrote the system and I am sure that he would know how to boycott it and ten gain access to his account, only satoshi can do what most of us cannot do, and I am sure that if satoshi is to gain access to anyone’s account today, he will surely be able to do so, talk more of his own personal account, which I total disagree with anyone including him if claim that the private key is lost.

This is a bitcoin forum, the only hard evidence that will be accepted to prove his identity is being in control of the addresses that we know belong to satoshi, anything less than that and everyone will question the legitimacy of those claims, if we found ourselves in that scenario it will be way more likely that someone found a way to hack into the account of satoshi than the possibility of satoshi coming back to say that he lost his keys, after all why would satoshi comeback to say that? Whether he still has control of his keys or not it does not matter if he does not move his coins.
Even if, as he contends, control of known addresses was gone with his bad HDD there must be skills yet in him that once helped in Bitcoin creation. He could use it again to prove who he actually is. No one else than he has a better understanding of Bitcoin that still has some unresolved problems.
Well, sometimes even smart people do stupid things. There's even a book written on this topic!
Satoshi is too wise to hiccup in something he created.
I am not saying that I believe his story what so ever. Lets say Satoshi Nakamoto DID really lose his keys due to a freakish accident. Would there be any way he could actually prove himself.
If Satoshi was to log into the Satoshi Account on this forumn and say I lost all of my Bitcoin keys, would anyone believe him?
Would a post here be enough proof?
If THE Satoshi logged in after almost 10 years of being Non Active and said word for word what the Newest Satoshi Scammer is saying but said it on this forumn would the community believe him, or would everyone just think his founder account had been compromised? I am curiouse on everyones thoughts on the subject. If from a previouse satoshi acct he said the same thing. I feel I would kind of trust him...

I wont believe that it will gonna happen that satoshi will lost his private key.the mind of satoshi cant be down.a smart person like satoshi cannot be lost his private key.he will probably doing a back up for all private key he does.for a man like satoshi who made a of crypto he is so smart and I know he wont allow to lost his private key.I think this things gonna happen if satoshi lost his mind but I doubt it he is a such smart people.if ever he lost private key I know he has s lot og òption to make it better.everything now is possible.

I don't think such a thing will ever happen to Satoshi and good to know that you accept that fact that it will not happen and that you are just saying it base on assumption which may not likely come to pass. And if eventually such a thing happen to Satoshi then we will believe on one condition only he signed a message from one of his popular wallet.
I would not like to believe that the creator of bitcoin will loss his private key. If somehow really he loss it then I do not see how he will prove himself as satoshi. Because community will not believe without sign a message from his address due to so many people's already claimed as satoshi. Everything could be hacked include emails, but private key can't hacked. So this is only strong way to prove himself.
well as long as he does not sign the wallet noone would believe that he is the real satoshi. but i dont think he will EVER reveal himself, it would be a big surprise for me if he does
