Topic: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? - page 107. (Read 143064 times)

Great post!

I've been curious about this.  Nobody that I know of, knows.  But there's some clues.  I have some good guesses.  Minds like Satoshi may come along only a few times in a generation.

Group or individual?

Both! 

I believe the lions share of satohsi's work was done by a single genius.

Certainly he was helped in places, but I think that was sparing rather than a proper group effort.

Nationality?

Almost certainly a british mathematician.   

There's clues he has lived in germany and japan.  His gmx address (common in germany) is linked to his public GPG key.

Background?

Satoshi is the top class of top class mathematicians.  He's also an incredible programmer.  He's certainly been around the crypto comunity for many years.  He has good competency in accountancy and economics.

Education?

You'll have to trust me on this one.  The British school system is such that almost all of the top mathematical talent are sent to Cambridge.  In fact, to a specific college, Trinity.  Satoshi was almost certainly of this calibre.  I know this sounds speculative, but it would be like predicting Messi played in La Liga.

I wonder if he did a PhD

Satoshi has also self educated in many fields and been in and around the mailing lists

Age?

Unknown but almost certainly above 30.  The 37 age he gave may be close, so he'd be around about 40 now.

Profession?

This is the hardest of all.  Did he become an academic?  Did he work in a big accountancy firm.  Or an investment bank.  Did he become a programmer. 


Almost no one knows but him ... and maybe a very small circle ... I'd love to find out, and look forward to his return!

Satoshi Nakamoto is an harmonic wave that balances the equation, who he is is irrelevant really, it doesn't really matter to the people who think on the grand scheme of things. If he wouldn't do it then someone else would, perhaps a year, two, maybe even ten or a hundred down the road.

Did he seriously not think speculation would occur in something as disruptive as BTC? I think he's a smarter fellow than that

Thank you. I think every forum member should be accused of being Satoshi Nakamoto at least once in their lives. Thanks for being my first, Sato- ....er Hertzmeister.

  I apologize I didn't immediately recognize you, Sir Nakamoto! Good masquerade!

Don't you roll your eyes at me, young man!

Satoshi is legion XD

but seriously, he's probably a member of the bitcoin foundation.

He also spoke in parables. You should read the Bitcoin whitepaper sometime.

don't think so. He predicted specialized hardware (ASICs). That means he predicted greed.

Has anyone considered the possibility that proudhon might be Satoshi trolling around just for laughs? 

Satoshi is someone who is sad his invention is now being used by greedy mofo's trying to get rich off the next greedy mofo's instead of real trade

that's why he left in 2010 anyway, read his last comments

This is why whoever Satoshi really is can never out himself.

Yeah, just some guy on the internet, ya know?

He's just this guy, you know?

So is this Satoshi a person? Or a group? Or has this been determined yet.

I have come to understand a lot more about BitCoin, and it's reason for being; however, has the 'who is the creator' actually been answered?

I see references to groups, individuals, even the range of the founder of MTGox through Max Keiser. Is this still a mystery? Or has there be a resolution?

If it has not been answered, perhaps a look at the language itself; I am trying to determine if perhaps it's more, possibly.

When I look at Satoshi Nakamoto, and I have seen in an above post that this maybe a jumble of corporate names, but:

Could it be that Satoshi, was meant to be: Shatoshi?  In which case (Sha) (to) (shi) would translate to: "I am with the database"; and Nakamoto 'could' be seen to translate as, when the characters are seperated to individual kana: (na)=do (ka)=you (mo)=as well (to)=and.

In which case "SHA"toshi Nakamoto could be interpreted to say: "I am with the database (Network/system/source.. etc)" "and you should be to; or -And you should be aswell"; which would entirely support the philosophy of use and useage and community and trust.

This little unit now declared/known as the "satoshi" or the "shatoshi" would then as well be part of the "I am with the database", no? As a Unit?

Just a thought? Any others?

There's a guess that the former owner of MtGox could be him ...

Read the top answer. sounds credible to me (mtgox in japan, satoshi's japan fascination, ex-owner of gox also created donkey client which is a p2p thing) - many good reasons behind the guess
