i still don't understand why the knowledge of his identity would hurt him...its not like hes a wanted felon or criminal, he just invented a program like thousands of other people...he doesn't even own the "rights" to bitcoin so at the end of the day he's just like any of the other developers Huh

I suspect he has a reason for not wanting to not be known.

What if he has a family, would that put his children at higher risk for kidnap for ransom? Things like that.

That might be why he stopped posting, too much risk of leaving evidence that could point to him.

Let him be is my thought.

I don't think there is an answer unless Satoshi comes up personally with some evidence that he is really him.   But I do hope he is willing to be out.  He will surely be a great rallying face for Bitcoin.

If you ever see a later Last Active date on Satoshi's profile than December 13, 2010, 04:45:41 PM you will know he has been back. Cool

What if they got hit by a bus? That would explain why they haven't posted.

According to Ted Nelson, the guy who conceptually invented the precursor of the World Wide Web some 25 years before the web went live and coined the word "hypertext", Satoshi is a Japanese math professor at the University of Kyoto.

Anybody else a fan of the "Hikaru No Go" anime/manga?

I see a lot of parallels between Satoshi and Sai....

I have been trying to find out more about Satoshi, other than looking into his posts there is really little to tell.
Haven't been able to find very much, not even a claim saying they were good people.

What does everyone here know about them? What do you think they were like?


Don't get all obsessive about it.

It doesn't matter who he was or is.


It's like like trying to find the person who invented fire.

Just be happy that you are warm and can cook your food.

My wife is the type of person that likes to start a project, put a ton of energy into it, and then step back and let other people run it once it's off the ground.  Maybe Satoshi's the same way.
