Topic: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Solved! (Read 2670 times)

I just ran across your fantastic investigation and am really impressed.

I totally agree with your premise and that there is very little evidence (if any) to support the most popular theories about who Satoshi Nakamoto really is.

That said, I also disagree with some of your assumptions.

Using pretty much the same methods that you did, I have come up with a different Satoshi Nakamoto candidate, whose name has never been raised in this context.

I would love to put our heads together and talk.

What about https://leung-btc.medium.com/len-sassaman-and-satoshi-e483c85c2b10 ?

Don't spoil your expectations. Don't look for Satoshi. Let Satoshi be what you imagine him to be.

This Satoshi Nakamoto is one pure genius of creating Bitcoin. We benefit from his work right now in this very moment of digital era. I wish he is safe somewhere in the world and lying down in a hammock while drinking his coconut juice in an island to relax.

Thank you very much and appreciated 👍  Working on an interesting follow-up which is just as intriguing! Look forward to sharing. 

The 30 days treshold passed and I'm back, as promised. I just sent you 41 more merits for the OP as well. And I noticed that you changed the title in a manner to better show the reality

Thanks again for all the work and congrats for the rank up! You're a Full Member now. Use this wisely and keep up the good work in order to achieve the future ranks!

You did a good job here and reading this was really interesting, although it took a long time because it’s a very long content, but it’s very good and captivating. But still at the end of all these things I don’t know why I still feel like lol we should let this man be .

He didn’t commit any crime by creating bitcoin, he did a good job and he has chosen to live a private life. Imagine that you guys happen to discover who he is, so you’re just going to spread the information all over the net and the whole netizens will get to know about him, and then he wouldn’t be able to live the private life he has chosen.

FYI PM with additional info sent.

If you would care to PM me with any info. then feel free to do so ...

However, I have to say that I would have doubts about the OP's candidate actually being 'Nakamoto'.

In many ways satoshi was Hal.

Nakamoto (the originator) is/was someone else entirely. N+1

You are very welcome! And you well deserved the prize for all this huge effort. Keep up the good work!

If you have more ideas for such historic topics, feel free to express them. There are many other forum members interested in history

Thank you so much for the comments and generous merit. It is good to see that there are passionate users out there interested in the origins and have an open mind.

I have not had much time recently but will upload further information and interesting findings that are worthy of addition to the timeline and this post. Note I have changed the title of the post too  .

This topic is pure gold! Thank you OP for spending so much time for bringing all these precious links. I am also very passionate about Bitcoin and its ancestors history (you can read here my 1000th post: Bitcoin: The dream of Cypherpunks, libertarians and crypto-anarchists; at its bottom you can find more historical writings of mine).

Obviously, your topic and your work went undermerited, as people are more interested about panem et circenses, therefore I sent you a 50 merits bomb (this being the second time I'm doing this) but not for your OP: it was for your first post in the topic, the one with all these valuable links. Another unfortunate aspect is that from all old forum members, only BitcoinFX appeared here...

I would have merited also the OP with 50 merits, but the forum allows to send only 50 merits in 30 days to a particular user. However, I believe you should change OP title a bit, as it is misleading now: "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Solved!". The subject is not solved...and maybe it will never be solved.

I'll come back in 30 days from now on to merit OP as well, but the "Solved" part should be changed.

Thank you once again for this very entertaining reading and for providing all these details!

Your OP is fascinating. I (like everyone I guess) am too very intrigued by Satoshi's figure. Not just knowing the name (maybe that can be skipped at all), but learning all the historical stuff is really interesting. Not only seeing how Satoshi tried to (and managed to) convince people to use a revolutionary system like Bitcoin... the back and forth it all generated, all questions Satoshi was asked (and how Satoshi managed to answer them) is really educational to read.

Having said that, I'm skeptical on how you would manage to restore offline backups Satoshi might had. Legally talking, obviously. I guess you would need to go there physically (or somehow get Satoshi to share you things never shared before). If we are talking about someone who paid a domain in an untraceable way back in then, I'm 100% positive everything was wiped from any machines Satoshi ever worked in.

We created a Discord server (https://discord.gg/wA4Dkz6) to debate about Satoshi, his/her/their figure, all his/her/their research and try to learn a little more about Satoshi's figure. Research, theories, everything is accepted 

I learned many things from this post and really appreciate you for sharing such an informative material,Satoshi Nakamot is really an idol for all who proved that if you believe in yourself and what d you want to do make difference just run-after it no matter you are alone but if you are committed and eager to reach there you will get it one day but never give up for temporary hurdles.

Now Bitcoin the creation of satoshi nakamoto created easiness for the individuals,corporate firms and investors that can use BTC for own purpose accordingly.

No doubt he is very important person as he has brought the biggest revolution in our lives. We are not aware of anything about him. If he does not want to reveal his identity, why to go for this matter. This is simply a useless finding as the appearance of him cannot affect Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in one way or the other. There are other important factors on which users should pay attention to like its promotion.

Nobody saw Satoshi's face even once and also nobody know even if he is only one or they are many. It is very difficult to find someone whom you dont really know. Its just like you are guessing a question but no clue. And also why are they really eager to find and to know Satoshi? Even if he is the founder of bitcoin it does not make any sense and also if he really wanted to show his face he will show it the public that's why he decided to stay hidden because there a lot of circumstances will likely to happen if he show up.

I have a little discussion on time zones, as well as I am a programmer that time zones cannot be a benchmark to find where satoshi lives, we need information about how to live satoshi itself in relation to "finding sathosi when experts". This work can even make the way of life change from being nocturnal where it has a reverse habit in common people.

You do your best to find a key that leads to someone, but I don't think it's good if you keep doing it. Satoshi has decided to anonymize and in the code of ethics it is not good to do.

This is an interesting post and totally agree that there is no need for the wider public to know the identity; and this is the main reason why we did not reveal the ultimate person we found. Since publication we have been approached by multiple parties that offered monetary offers for the info which we turned down. However there is one part that we disagree with, which includes a lot of whats posted publicly - where people state that it does not matter.

Once the pieces were put together it becomes clear that a big part of the crypto-sphere do not want Satoshi/Satoshi knowledge to be found for selfish monetary reasons. This is the main reason for the crypto civil-war of the last 5 years. Not only do we think we have found Satoshi, but the place Satoshi did his development, research and mining using an organisations PCs (surprisingly most wont believe Satoshi was not rich and only owned an average spec PC himself, but had access to resources!). So we have come up with a 2020 manifesto to take crypto to the next level; as its clear no-one received Satoshis full codebase, research and notes when (including dev code for scalability and other info)!. This will only help end the Crypto civil-war and complete the original whitepaper. This will be our contribution.

#1. Discover the real Satoshi Nakamoto   ✅
#2. Find location of mining computer(s)   ✅
#3. Contract with source organisation(s)
#4. Restore IT backups from 2008/2009
#5. Recover unpublished code + research
#6. Create new IP and scale beyond VISA

One thing for sure, before bitcoin is implemented, people behind it surely does plan it very well. But even if we don't know Satoshi, I think it is the best for us not to know him at all, they created bitcoin for the world and now, since it is open source, everybody could have a contribution and it will work without him. As long as we continue to believe on it, we don't need to see him for us to benefit. And to avoid misleading people claiming they are satoshi in their own ways.
