sign his PGP key or prove that he owns the wallet with 1 million bitcoins.

Both need a password, that most likely only the original "Satoshi Nakamoto" knows. If he would write a message now, after years of silence, he would definitely use one, or even better, both possibilities to proof its authenticity. He would not simply forget that for sure.

I think nobody would claim him as satoshi nakamoto
becuase thief & bad people will use bad ways to have his bitcoin

If you want proof, just ask : please send 1 million bitcoin to my address now Grin

Ya that would not be something he would be willing to do.

He has a known PGP key that he could use to sign a message with. This is actually how he would be able to regain access to his account on here as theymos has the account locked

Yes , this is his .asc :

https://bitcointalk.org/Satoshi_Nakamoto.asc

I think it is ironic that the bitcointalk forum is primarily using a PGP key as a verification method then a bitcoin signature would work just as well.

There is a 1 million btc wallet Shocked

No. Well maybe, but not in that it only contains one address. The estimated one million bitcoin that satoshi owns is split up into several thousand addresses.

I firmly believe it was Shinchi Mochizuki who wrote the paper. I will eat 2 bites from my shoe (side of it) if i'm ever proven wrong! LOL

Hmm..... again. Where is the proof? It was Ted Nelson, who claimed for the first time that Shinchi Mochizuki is the real Nakamoto. But even Nelson himself later admitted that it was just a wild assumption. He just picked out a random ethnic Japanese mathematician who lives and work in the United States. However, this assumption was later refuted by people like Tyler Jarvis, who presented real evidence to prove that Shinchi Mochizuki is not Nakamoto.

I'm interested into seeing what evidence he presented. Got a link I could check out? Thanks.

I don't believe the real Satoshi Nakamoto will come forward and say that it's him to be honest but in the event that he did then it would probably be wise to ask him if he could prove some how that he is that person however even then that could be faked if someone really wanted people to believe they were him.

Seriously, I don't understand why the "Satoshi speculation" is such a big deal; He wants to remain private and we should respect that.

I think it is because people want to understand what will happen with his coins or they are just new to Bitcoin and they're still wrapping their minds around the mysterious disappearance of Satoshi. I completely understand what you're saying though. All the Satohshi speculation has been getting old for a while now.

currently it doesnt matter much who satoshi is anyways

It doesn't matter if Satoshi is an agency within the US government, for example? An agency currently holding over a million BTC?

If I had stolen his wallet and "proved" to you today that I'm ~~Spartacus~~Satoshi, how would that be a proof? As long as the real Satoshi doesn't start arguing against that, the signature proof would serve nothing.

Pretty sure Satoshi would be able to prove this is his project with no trouble. He has the most intimate knowledge of Bitcoin in my opinion being it is his idea. Don't think proving himself the inventor would be that hard for example if he started moving coins around from his old wallets people would know it was really him. I'm sure there are more the a few ways he could go about it.

This question may be asked earlier but how would we verify that person is telling the truth?

sign a message using a bitcoin address we know belongs to the creator (genesis block address or the address he used to sell coins to hal finney)

If it was the fiat's version of satoshi we could just hide him using this method
