Sorry guys if this is a dumb queston, but I was wondering who founded bitcointalk. I read somehere here that Satoshi created it, but im not sure if its a trustworthy source. Is btct made by Satoshi or a group of btc lovers?

The forum was created by Satoshi with his co workers. But Most people are saying that Satoshi is a person while others are saying that they are in group and the real identity is unknown. But Satoshi was the one who spearheaded the creation of the forum and the digital currency which Bitcoin. This is the first thread created by Satoshi Welcome to the new Bitcoin forum! and you can also check his profile to see more things and threads he had created for us to read. This is Satoshi forum profile https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/satoshi-3.

And the forum was mainly created to discuss Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency related stuffs. But Politics and Society, Economics and local boards were also created to accommodate everyone to participate.

The forum's a social meeting unit so it's attracting ppl from different backgrounds who've got different ideas. It's got high exaggeration raised over small questions which's leading to controversies. Users in the forum love it. We've been told who's created bitcointalk it's Satoshi that's what admin said but users keep saying other names.

One thing I so much learned about people is that they love controversies. If Satoshi could be the creator of Bitcoin when it wasn't popular and when people were not even noticing that someone was making any effort. How much more is the forum to back the creation up?

I believe and can't doubt that Satoshi created Bitcointalk, and he created it alongside Bitcoin for a reason. I believe it's for it to propagate the gospel of Bitcoin and the two were created in the same year. And specifically, Bitcointalk was created on the 22nd of November, 2009.

This can't be a coincidence.

Some may call him “satoshi” around here but he has many other names:

God, the all knowing, Odin, the maker, the architect, the supreme coder, Zeus, Wotan etc…

I don't know why users posting in this topic mentioning up different names because it's confusing ppl. I believe bitcointalk was created by Satoshi because that's what admin said so that should've ended the topic.

It should've been locked after the first post woke it up because it isn't necessary to repeat post Satoshi's name as bitcointalk creator.

The Bitcoin Forum is a website meant to host free discussion of Bitcoin and related topics. It is operated as a service to the community, and all profit is reinvested into the forum and the community. It was started in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, the original creator of Bitcoin. It is now managed by Michael Marquardt (theymos), Martti Malmi (Sirius), and Stefan Thomas (justmoon). Donated funds are managed by theymos.

Source: https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html

It actually feels so weird knowing how when they first opened these Donations they were 50 BTC and 10 BTC which weren't so much back then. Now.. It's so much money LOOL. I wonder what these people from all the way back then who donated think of their donation now honestly.

I was also wondering who created this forum, and for some time thought "Founder" was just meaning the Founder of Bitcoin and not the actual founder of this forum lol. Until I realized

I think the right word is launched, Satoshi launched this forum but it is the community members from the past and the present that created this forum into what it is today, this platform is community type where people can register and contribute content so its reputation is built by members' content.

It was Jeff Garzik who created bitcointalk.org in 2011. Satoshi did not create bitcointalk.org. Bitcointalk.org was a clone of bitcoin.org. Give me a reference of satoshi or any high ranking members before 2011 talking about "bitcointalk".

Logically, you are right, but technically speaking, Bitcointalk is the same as it was when Satoshi started the Bitcoin forum.

While Satoshi did not register the domain name 'bitcointalk.org,' he certainly initiated and created the forum. It still exists today, having migrated from SourceForge.net SMF to 'bitcointalk.org.'

Consider this: how much has the 'Bitcoin' software changed or improved since Satoshi's time? Quite a lot. Yet, we still refer to it as Satoshi's creation, regardless of the enhancements made. Similarly, Bitcointalk.org serves as a gateway to the original forum that Satoshi initiated and created.

Bitcointalk.org founded by theymos in June 2011. Bitcoin.org founded by satoshi in 2009.

I think you are wrong here. theymos is not the founder of bitcointalk, Satoshi is. As far as I know after satoshi left the forum, he gave administrator access to theymos. And he had been operating managing bitcointalk ever since. I can be wrong thought. Others can clear this.

EDIT: I just checked the threads and yes, Satoshi is the main man behind everything.

Satoshi nakamoto is the founder of Bitcointalk but we don't know If it is a group of people or one person cause Satoshi is anonymous and after Satoshi founded this forum and a year and a month Satoshi's account is being in active till date. But before it happens Satoshi choose a forum member who will become a administrator which is theymos and also Cyrus is administrator of this forum. Maybe Satoshi is still around but we don't know cause it's still anonymous.

Base on this, there's nothing to argue anymore about the creator of bitcointalk, Satoshi Nakamoto created it and ever since it has been managed by the people in charge of it administration and everything is well explained through the link provided, it surprised me to see that alot of people have alre contributed this much to the donation of bitcoin to the forum, i never thought they were this much, they are part of the success to this forum.

If you think the OP's asking about registering the bitcointalk.org web domain it's Jeff Garzik. He didn't say anything about bitcoin.org he's asking about bitcointalk.org. We don't know if he means who's registered the forum name but the forum's founded by Satoshi it doesn't matter if it's copied from bitcoin.org it's founded by Satoshi.

It's been 4 years the OP hasn't been online so we can't ask him to explain his question but he's asked I was wondering who founded bitcointalk

This forum created by Satoshi in 2009 when bitcoin was created. but He moderated the forum until December 2010, after which he became totally inactive. Since then this forum is managed by Theymos and some donors help to manage the forum whose list you can find here - https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html

And this forum is decentralized so everyone gets freedom here to use

I'm not really sure about who's the real founder of this forum but if you see the account of the Satoshi Nakamoto then you'll see that he got the founder tag on his profile and I guess he's the founder of this forum as well. The forum has been managed by Theymos for many years and he may be the founder or creator of this domain name but the forum of the forum is Satoshi Nakamoto.

Did you read the question? The question is about "Who created bitcointalk?" not who created the original bitcoin forum . Satoshi disappear before bitcointalk.org was created.

What did you mean when you used "Who created Bitcointalk?"

Buying a domain name does not equal to create Bitcointalk forum.

Without Satoshi Nakamoto, this domain can be used for a Bitcoin Ponzi project.

Bitcointalk.org is a clone of forum.bitcoin.org.

Migration of a forum from an original domain to a new domain does not mean Bitcointalk.org is a clone of Bitcoin.org/smf or forum.bitcoin.org.

The initial Bitcoin forum is http://bitcoin.sourceforge.net/boards/index.php

Welcome to a new Bitcoin forum

If Bitcointalk will migrate to https://epochtalk.org/, Epochtalk.org will not be a clone of Bitcointalk.org

There were times when forum.bitcoin.org and bitcointalk.org both exist. That is why bitcointalk.org is a clone.

There have been controversies and different thought about who created Bitcointalk, I think is Satoshi Nakamoto and handed it to thymos no doubt about that checking from ok people's comment above I think it is already proven and links attached to it.

Jeff Garzik invented the forum name, bought the domain name. It's all Jeff Garzik did.

Satoshi Nakamoto created the forum.

Satoshi Nakamoto created the forum that was originally hosted at bitcoin.org/smf that was registered in 2008. Bitcointalk.org was registered in 2011.

Quote from: theymos on April 17, 2020, 02:13:47 PM

Satoshi created both bitcoin.org and this forum, which was originally at bitcoin.org/smf. Later, the forum got its own domain name, but due to this history, bitcoin.org and bitcointalk.org have traditionally been linked, and for quite some time Cøbra and I have together managed the domain names. However, Cøbra has never had much involvement in bitcointalk.org's operation, and I haven't involved myself in bitcoin.org for a couple of years, so the linkage between the two no longer really made made any sense. Therefore, we decided to separate the domains: I no longer have any access to the bitcoin.org domain name, and Cøbra no longer has any access to the bitcointalk.org domain name. The two sites should be viewed as totally separate, which in practice they have been for years.

There will be no changes whatsoever on bitcointalk.org due to this, and I'd assume that the same will be true of bitcoin.org. The bitcoin.org open-source project has been advancing steadily, and I hope and expect that it will continue to do so thanks to the efforts of its contributors.

Thanks to Cøbra for handling much of bitcointalk.org's domain-name-related work in the past.
