I suppose it is somewhat pointless the political views of satoshi. I find interesting that no one really brings about the discussion why satoshi suddenly ceased communication with gavin?

In Satoshi I Trust
Do you think Gavin has knowledge of who or how to reach Satoshi?

I think he does, why would he have the alert keys if it wasnt the case? He's also one of the main rumored guys to be satoshi along with nick sziabo. No one of this changes anything tho, at the end of the day is just speculation and we are getting nowhere without any relevant proof.
I wish Satoshi can reveal himself (if he is really one man, if 'he' is an organization or a group I think it is better to keep status quo).
If people find out that he is not a part of NSA or any government agency, then stupid argument that bitcoin is in reality project to fuck with us will go away.
Additionally for creating innovation like blockchain and bitcoin he could even receive a Nobel Prize, that would be huge for promotion of bitcoin.

I think it benefits no one if Satoshi went public. As soon as he went public, he would be judged, and mainstream media would start dropping headlines to try to damage Bitcoin with something negative related to him, and everyone has done something negative in his life, so they would try to find that and attack Satoshi with that, whatever it is.
If he remains anonymous, the figure of Satoshi cannot be attacked beyond speculation.

I think Gavin has his hunches as to who Satoshi is but I don't think he knows for sure.
He more than likely has met him and spoke to him IRL and didn't even know it.
Knowing Satoshi's real identity could be dangerous. Satoshi whether a person or group was very smart, and they are smart enough not to endanger others by letting them know who Satoshi really is.

It could be yes, but it was a big secret. Which means, if someone revealed the secret then it would lead us the another secret.
BTW, we don't even know who or what is Satoshi?

imho he knows it for sure, maybe he never met him personally, but it doesn't mean, that he can't get in touch with him when he wants.

anyway, as already stated, these days really doesn't matter, if somebody knows who is satoshi..maybe first two years but for now it is more or less worthless info.

Couldn't it be substantial to know what the original creators geopolitical views were?

and why you think it matters and why you are trying somehow to connect political views and blade-edge technology and open-source? imho it is totally irrelevant, at least for me + I don't want to be somehow dissapointed. generally, imho is advantage, that "nobody" knows who Mr. Nakamoto is.

Could be a possibility, but at this point I don't care to find out if they know each other and who Satoshi exactly is. It doesn't matter. Bitcoin is here and working at full.

I understand this. But under what pretense would they stop talking to each other ever again. They never expresses and disdain for each other?


There was no need to fall out. It's an open source project. Satoshi had nurtured it virtually alone for a long time. Once enough people were on board then he eased off and disappeared. Maybe Gavin going to see the CIA back in the day gave a him bit of a nudge. That supports the idea that no one knows who he was and he didn't want any prying.

It's a no for me. Tons of people collaborate on online projects without ever knowing the identity of who they're dealing with.

When you throw in its origins on the cryptographic mailing list, it's probably considered the height of poor manners to ever enquire about who the person is at the other end.

Satoshi would gain zero advantage in letting anyone know his/her/their identity. It wouldn't have improved the project and would only cause potential problems.

Most likely there is a lot of persons , Theymos (won't make sense to give him control of forum unless he trust him for real) , Sirius ( who created forum with Satoshi and control Bitcoin.org I assume ) and Gavin too if he isn't already Satoshi but I don't think he is because it would be too obvious .
but Gavin claim he was in contact with Satoshi in email so it would be kinda fucked up if he was emailing himself Shocked also seems like he dissapeared once they CIA asked to talk to gavin

I am not too sure about that. There is also a chance that Gavin Anderson might have known Satoshi only through emails and other anonymous forms of communication. The real identity of Satoshi might not be known to Gavin, or to those guys who joined the Bitcoin community during 2009 (such as Theymos, Xunie, Sirius.etc).

I wonder if its just Gavin himself using satoshi as a cover?
