Topic: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Solved! - page 2. (Read 2737 times)

It's very interesting to see this research and what you underwent to go through this remarkable discovery. I do think though that I like the mystery behind Satoshi's anonymity and it takes it for a great story to tell our kids and grandkids as the years go by, that we were all involved in this mysterious event called the birth of Bitcoin, or Genesis as it were. If Satoshi wants to remain anonymous and not found, I think it's best to keep it that way, in respect of his desire to remain anonymous, but if ever he was to go public, then your findings would be a great testament to that.

Are you a Bitcoin and Satoshi expert too? Could you recognise un-published writings by Satoshi?

If so please PM as we have some further developments that could do with some extra set of eyes!

Thank you for asking this question. This is one of the key reasons for our original analysis. Our findings and evaluation of the data lead to a different conclusion to most of the published information to date.

There is strong evidence that Satoshi had multiple Bitcoin code repositories with prototype development and research that never saw the light of day. This most likely includes solutioning for decentralised scaling which is the main issue most of todays cryptocurrencies fail to solve. Satoshi not only openly mentioned VISA processing limits back in 2009, but stating Bitcoin could scale beyond easily. The misconception is that most people interpreted this as the code that had been released publicly. His confidence was most likely related to his prototype code that was grid tested for scalability offline. It is unknown why the offline code repository and research was never shared wider but finding it would definitely help the adoption of Bitcoin into the mainstream. So our goals are perfectly in sync with the wider crypto community.

What proof of offline development exists?

- The version of Bitcoin that Satoshi mined the genesis block and his coins was different to the public release (based on chain archaeology and environment Satoshi had access to).
- The original code base included marketplace and poker code. This points to wider functional development that was never made public. He also indirectly mentioned Bitcoin running offline prior to release.
- Satoshi clearly states Bitcoin can scale beyond VISA processing capability several times. This means he solutioned and tested some prototype to have such confidence.

The main reason crypto has shifted from whitepaper eCash towards store of value goes back to the fundamental issue of decentralized scalability. Finding the unpublished code and research will help answer and resolve everything.

Thanks for solving the Satoshi Nakamoto problem seen in the crypto space but how will this information help with the adoption of Bitcoin into the mainstream of the financial ecosystem. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is not really relevant to the crypto ecosystem and its not gonna bring any improvement into the crypto space. I don't really get it when people waste time trying to find the identity of Satoshi..

In any case, any statements regarding who created Bitcoin and who is Satoshi Nakamoto in general is nothing more than an assumption.  If at least someone provided some evidence that would not be subject to doubt, then from these data one could start from something and assume or predict something.  But since in reality there is no real and truthful source that would not cause doubts, all the stories about the creator of Bitcoin will be just a myth.  It can be assumed that a group of people worked on the blockchain and Bitcoin, and not just one person.  Nobody can refute this either.

If you read our research you will see that we believe we found Satoshi. Contrary to a lot of the mis-information on the web, the majority of the evidence points to Bitcoin being developed by just one person. This does not mean Satoshi created all the underlying technology but pieced together the working solution himself. This was the genius. With hindsight it all seems obvious but the reality is that he solved the double spend problem which had challenged the brightest minds for over 20 years!

The other reason it is just one person is that the best way to keep a secret is to be the only one in on it. The more people involved the greater the risk of knowledge leak. And in that case the weakest link in the group could become vulnerable especially given the vast amounts of money on the line. This was backed up by other intel sources during the detailed investigation.

We left out a lot of information in the document for a variety of reasons but we'll publish some facts that you will not find anywhere else over time. For starters:

Q: When was the search term 'Bitcoin' performed on a search engine / domain registrar around the years of Bitcoin formation?
A: June 2006 from Denmark (location can be ignored due to VPNs/TOR etc). This was a full year before coding started in 2007,  and two years before Bitcoin.org was registered. This suggests the name Bitcoin was not a 100% certainty and decided very close to the registration of domain as the draft white paper circulated was missing reference to Bitcoin too.

Doubt or not there always been a possibility that Satoshi is either a group of people or a single man. Finding this guy? Just like his own creation
its anonymous and theres no way on identifying this guy which we had been doing all over the years and lots already claiming to be satoshi but
all of them are fake ones. Lets hope that someday he would decide up to show  himself to the cryptocommunity that he had built up.

His identity was very private because there are some important things that he need to keep especially from the bitcoin he has to maintain his security from a person who have interest on his bitcoin.

Doubt that someone will find Satoshi, I already'm beginning to doubt that this at all one man.

Yes satoshi nakamoto identity is still unanimous and no one can know who he is. And there's is no clue who is satoshi nakamoto and where he come from and  what his nationality. Still unknown many are assuming that he is satoshi nakamoto but only i know still not know who he is.

I can explain entire satoshi life and his friendly ship with Hal finney.
satoshi is a kids who used this name satoshi nakamoto and forget about his kids life for live normal life 10 years, he is coming back soon.

Great and insightful investigative write-up there. But after all said and done, Satoshi Nakamoto is still an enigma, a phantom and unless he decides to give himself up, I doubt if anyone or group of people can crack his ID blackout. I, for one, do hope that his identity remains hidden...it'll be one of the unsolved secrets of our time.

Wrong, you dont copyright things if you intend to not enforce it one day. You can maintain a copyright anonymously but not enforce it.

Like you said, there is no point in trying to find who does not want to be found, and it was never even in the plan of satoshi that his whereabouts should become a puzzle that we all should be looking for, what he just want from us is to embrace the system he has created to free us from some of the bondage that we have put our self in trying to get our money across to various place we want to get it to with stress, and that is why he used the system to create a peer to peer program.

Unfortunately, aside the headache many people give themselves in looking for satoshi, one more thing that I have found out is that many of them still take bitcoin as digital asset more, and they just want it to keep doubling their money without the willingness to spend it.

You guys need to becarful of what you listen in internet, governement have technology for give you what they want just with listening sounds.

""A study by MIT researchers shows that exposing patients to flashing light and pulsing sounds could reverse Alzheimer's symptoms, reports Angus Chen for Scientific American. “This is the first time we've seen that this noninvasive stimulation can improve cognitive function,” says Prof. Li-Huei Tsai.""

Satoshi dsnt choice to forget this but somoene forced him and Hal, he know about this so he used encryption of his entire computer with Truecrypt and make anti robbing system encryption in case somoene rob his computer.

People always want to make a name even if they will mess things up

there is no clear evidence that Craig Wright is Satoshi because now some people consider him to be Satoshi and the fact that he is not a real person. I think the original Satoshi Nakamoto has hundreds or millions of BTC in his wallet and if he is still alive of course he prefers to live in peace with his assets. do not easily believe because to date many people claim himself to be Satoshi just to be admired by many people.

Please can we keep this a serious thread  The research published is just a summary. Too many people are easily duped by Bitcoin related information. Always do your own research. We did not find our Satoshi candidate by researching just the usual candidates, it was a deep dive into a whose who of crypto. And for those who read the published document, you will know why the missing pieces are more important to the success of crypto than Satoshis identity.
