So can anyone prove that he hasn't already cashed out?

I'm sceptical by nature
Sure. It's pretty clear which addresses belong to him. If one of those coins are transferred to
an exchange deposit address (or, in fact, to any other address), this will be the hottest topic
here and on reddit and everywhere within minutes.
Can you point me to any of these addresses? Purely for research I should add
Here are the first 5 blocks:

https://blockchain.info/address/12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5LmMBrzjrJX
https://blockchain.info/address/1HLoD9E4SDFFPDiYfNYnkBLQ85Y51J3Zb1
https://blockchain.info/address/1FvzCLoTPGANNjWoUo6jUGuAG3wg1w4YjR
https://blockchain.info/address/15ubicBBWFnvoZLT7GiU2qxjRaKJPdkDMG
https://blockchain.info/address/1JfbZRwdDHKZmuiZgYArJZhcuuzuw2HuMu


There is a 99% that's it him I guess but why & why in the world he never touched his BTC if it's his or even anyone else BTC Shocked
Unless he is a millionaire I don't see why he didn't touch his Bitcoins to be honest , maybe lost private keys ? but I don't think a careful about privacy as Satoshi could simply lose his private keys Shocked

Think about it, someone who essentially architects a system reliant on asymmetric cryptography (Bitcoin) would lose or forget his private key... I think not, the fact that people think this is true is actually funny to me.

Deliberately lose maybe, bitcoin was/is just an experiment and was virtually valueless at the time so it wouldn't have really made him greedy.

I have been doing some digging and trying to find where Satoshi's alleged 1 million BTC are. I can't find anyone who can point me in the right direction, can anyone here help?

Here is a very detailed analysis of who likely mined the early blocks as well as a lower bound on how many bitcoins they heach have control of:

You also might want to take a look at this:

He may be millionaire or he may be running some sort of big bitcoin service that's making him $$$ and he use that untouched millions to keep bitcoins value up.

I am a total noob at searching the blockchain. How can I enter the block height on the blockchain?

After if i was to write a script to assemble information then would you be able to help?

Not expecting you to do the work for me, just check the code I write

https://blockchain.info/block-height/2

Just put the number of the height you want... (Here: 2)
Thank you.

Among the first block rewards, the ones belonging to satoshi can be characterized
by their particular nonce-values. Maybe this helps:

(The emphasize is different, but what you want is extractable.)
Thanks for the pointer Smiley . Interesting read.

That is a start, 250 down, 999,750 to go. Is there anyway I can easily track down blocks created mined in chronological order?

You can go to blockchain.info and enter the block height (starting from 1) since it is clear that only he was mining at the very beginning.

Personally I would write a program to do this.

Personally I would write a program to do this and query against my own bitcoind.

I don't think it will be possible for you to find it out, as even in the rich list, the addies with the max BTC amount that you will find won't be more than 160,000...

It's not possible for anyone to find out Satoshi's address, as he's only the one, who created Bitcoin, for the purpose of Anonymity... Wink
