Why did Satoshi hide his identity? Has anyone seen Satoshi in real life?
Is Satoshi one person? Or is it a community?

I read an article that monero owners/team is in investigation by FBI because criminals have used this coin and I think that they have tried many time to see who is satoshi and maybe to arrest/contact him to give more information about bitcoin users(just a speculation), sometimes I think that it is better to not know who is or are Satoshi because bitcoin is an innovation. Some are claiming that they are satoshi but I doubt.

Well Criminals can use bitcoin the same way as criminals can you local fiat. So its not right to associate criminals with bitcoins. Bitcoin , just like any other currency can be used in good or bad way.
As far as Satoshi is concerned, is there any proof that the creator of bitcoin name was Satoshi ?

To me Satoshi Nakamoto was a codename not of an individual but a group or a team of talented and skilled individuals who are well versed with programming. These people are responsible for creating bitcoins and they call themselves Satoshi Nakamoto. For me they are the richest people in bitcoin industry since for me they are the owners of big exchangers are doing well today.

If you want to understand Satoshi, I suggest downloading a copy of the original version of the Bitcoin protocol - i.e. before Gavin et al polished it up.

It's a strange piece of code. The style doesn't look at all like that of a commercial programmer. When I first read through it (late 2010), my initial impression was that it came from somebody who was self-taught, from one of the non-software communities that tend to write code - academic economists, physicists, maybe a manager at a bank. Definitely not a mainstream programmer.

The language of the inline comments made it clear that it was an American. I assumed at the time it was an expat living in Japan, possibly working for one of their big banks.

Whoever it was, they were highly idealistic (like extreme end of libertarian) and quite paranoid.

Where can I download the first version of Bitcoin Core software? I mean, that's the first version that only Satoshi has done.

How do you like SATOSHI's programming style? Is it coded like poetry?

I can 100% guarantee that the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" is an alias.

of some articles say satoshi Nakamoto is the name of the person, a group, have also said an organization that obviously it is still a mistery. and why satoshi hide his identity mostly argued to remove the responsibility would bitcoin.

You are right there my brother! No one really knows who is Satoshi Nakamoto. We don't know if it's a person or a group or even if it is an entity. There are also lots of speculations why he hide his identity. Some says to destroy the monetary system, some says for protection and to avoid being tax by the government.

I think He hides his identity for his security , If he is well known today his life would be endangered because other currency might be jealous to bitcoin and it might the cause of satoshi assassination. Today I think he is now watching us here in the forum and he still making his moves in to his creation.

First there are legal accusations against bitcoin, i doubt if we would know Nakamoto or the team under bitcoin we would have some problem to have a face conected to bitcoin, against what happen with knowed brands, that use and abuse several faces into their promotions.
While bitcoin hasnt recognized as currencie and payment processor by the countries makes no sense reveal his identity if he still alive, he made something that changed the world into better, i could compare bitcoin as internet miracle as well the energy that we do use all days.

If we knew Satoshi Nakamoto, we would have praised him while he was in trouble at the moment. It's like creating the Deep Web. Who said the deep Web was created for illegal stuff? Maybe the creator of it wanted to only give people anonymity whenever they need. The fact that it later turned out to become the center of many terrorists and drug dealers and criminals is not his fault - these kinds of people will always look for anonymity.

satoshi nakamoto is the founder of bitcoin and also a creator of this too. none of us in bitcoin industry neither in the community nobody knows who really is. there is lot of speculations that has been discussed about his identity but most its only a perception and opinion by the others only, still no and proof.

I don't think there is really a person named Satoshi, but most likely is a real person hiding his/her real identity. He might be now rich because I am sure he is holding a lot of Bitcoin which I know is good for his/her lifetime. Showing the identity of the person will only put their lives endanger because people will start pursuing them.

I think it doesn't matter who is Mr. Satoshi, the most important is bitcoin was created just because of us. Which is true, imagine we can do have savings without complying any documents unlike in banks it needs an information documents like id verification. But in bitcoin, all of it is not necessarily needed aside from that very secured and safe.

I'll remember you penned that if it's later revealed that Bitcoin was put forth by an NSA black ops program knowing full well that once released to the public it'd be fully developed on our dime, not there's, while they later on, like as starting about now, take back control of the technology for use in the banking system under the auspices of that's what we wanted, didn't we?

Think about it. If the powers that be can convince the populace that a 47-story building collapsed into in own footprint at near-freefall speed as we've all witness due to small fires and one possible compromised column, then the same powers that be can convince geeks that an anonymous dude is behind Bitcoin to solve the world's financial problems created by ... wait for it ... the powers that be.

Ponder:

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
If you think I'll let you go you're mad

It take about 9 years for the bitcoin .
The reason behind the hiding the identity of the satoshi is because he don't want take responsibility of problem under any government laws .
Well I readed a article from the google source site where it was mentioned that the developer of bitcoin wants only to show his talent of programming and making a big money network with high security in comparison to bank , but from time to time few people advertise his program and made bitcoin as official currency of online money and after that more and more people comes in bitcoin .
After these step by step successful of bitcoin network satoshi hides his identity because some country banned bitcoin and some declare it as illegal fow of money .
In this way nakamotov hide his all the identity , But I can't believe this story fully because may be the article is theoretical .

OP, ask yourself: if you invented competition to the traditional banking and monetary system, would you like your identity to be known?

Yes exactly.

Quote from: franky1 on January 22, 2017, 11:39:26 AM

the entity using the satoshi pseudonym is one person. that is established.

Any conclusive investigations regarding if he was indeed a single entity or not?

Or maybe Satoshi is an idea ? I believe system ?

Sr. Craig is not Satoshi.

Satoshi Nakamoto is alive.

Satoshi hid his identity in his original proposal in pdf. The white book of Bitcoin.

Using a variant of cryptography.

Cryptography

Female name

Art and technique of writing with secret procedures or keys or in an enigmatic way, in such a way that the writing is only intelligible for those who know how to decipher it.

The coins of block 00000 (Genesis block), should never be withdrawn. The system must reject.

Of course he did not use his real name, if you are trying to hide your identity thats rule number 1, but even if the is holding a big amount of bitcoin there does not seem to have an attempt to convert those to fiat or do something with them besides just being there laying dormant.
