Honestly, I doubt that Satoshi is actually Japanese. His writing syntax just doesn't fit.

Satoshi is Number One. Or perhaps Two, or Six.

Be seeing you.

Seven.  Of nine?

Satoshi is really Sebastian Rooks.


Or Keyser Söze.

I believe Satoshi was working on this idea for quite a while...looking at the code, I don't think this was something he threw together in a couple months.  I think he may have been working on it for several years and took great pains to ensure it was sufficiently evolved such that it wouldn't simply die shortly after its release.

He said he was working on it since 2007.

Indeed, found it:

What does "global mental design" mean?  I didn't mean to imply that he may have spent several years coding...designing a good system often involves a lot more than actual coding.  I suspect the creation process was several years in the making even if the actual coding was relatively quick.

I was trying to rephrase what I red some time ago.  I don't remember well.

It has to be here somewhere in this forum history anyway.    But Satoshi has written a lot of stuff.  Searching would be time consuming as I don't even recall any keyword he used.


As for the developpement history, I think I also red that Satoshi showed up on the cypherpunk list, back when Wei Dai made his proposal.  Then Satoshi disappeared until 2009 I think.



A full resarch on the historical documents could be appreciated.  It could almost deserve a bounty.

Not several years.  I think he wrote somewhere on this forum that the actual coding was quite fast compared to the global mental design of the thing.

Yeah, I would hope that the WHOIS For the site is accurate since having inaccurate info in the WHOIS is grounds for domain termination under ICANN's terms. And given that ICANN is an American company...

Using a 'privacy protection' service is apparently acceptable.  That is how bitcoin.org is registered with a service from Japan.  You could start a lawsuit in Japan to figure out who really owns bitcoin.org and that would almost certainly fail.

ies.

Satoshi is everywhere and nowhere.
Satoshi could be all of us, or none of us.
Satoshi came from nowhere and dissappeared to nowhere, but his coins are everywhere.
Satoshi has no past, no future, and no present, but his creation is immortal.
Satoshi is an idea.  Satoshi has inspired all of us.  Satoshi is a legend.

Very good poem! I quoted part of it in a tweet.

Thanks kiba!  It's public domain now!

Who is John Galt?

+42 (the answer...)

42 = 2 x 3 x 7 (well that's just prime)

duality x stability x morality?

Satoshi hopefully isn't Alexander Supertramp, a tragic hero.

42 is *always* the answer.

...and don't forget your towel.  Cheesy

He's just sitting on the hundreds of thousands of BTC he generated at the start, waiting for the currency to acquire value. Bam! Millionaire!
