Think about it though: if someone wanted to really be anonymous, would he put in small hints on who he/she is through his/her anonymous monicker? Obviously not as it would totally be a bad idea. The S-N thing is likely just a coincidence.

Honestly it’s possible. We are all just humans. We are vulnerable and we are not invincible. More often than not, we don’t realize that we have made some slip-ups. Maybe it’s not his intention to leave a hint.

Although it’s also plausible that it might have been just a coincidence but there were some emails exchanged between them. Of course those could easily be forged but it all depends on us what we want to believe in.

1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum. 3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address).

Damn I wasn't expecting to see the post of Satoshi himself in the quote from @theymos, I had goosebumps reading through the replies, after all these years Satoshi has been a mystery unsolved. What if he is still amongst us in the forum? What if he is watching us through a guest or probably a secret account? I guess we will never know.

Of course, people can lie about things, but Nick Szabo denied being Satoshi Nakamoto, and so did Hal Finney. I think we should take it into account, and I tend to believe both of them. Leonard Sassaman is the only one among these three of whom I don't remember hearing before. I can see that there were allegations about him potentially being Satoshi before, but since he committed suicide, we'll likely never know that.
To be honest, I don't think it's important to know who Satoshi is/was. Satoshi is the creator of Bitcoin, and remaining unknown is good for the ultimate decentralization of Bitcoin.

Whoever he is, It's not CSW. He should stay anonymous and we should respect his privacy. Let CSW waste his money and let the lawyers make some money from him. It's not like we are paying attention to this stupid. I am not a old forum members and I haven't been around when Satoshi was active. I didn't do any research about him. But, It's obious that a lot of people tried to find out who is Satoshi. Probably theymos has a hint. But, let's respect their privacy. Satoshi is not dumping any single Satoshi. So, I don't think we should poke him every few days.

If you don't know, Satoshi Nakamoto used to post his real name and address in Bitcointalk.

If Satoshi himself posted his real name and address on a public forum within the community, that means someone here still knows who he is and if he is still alive or not.
What if the guy in the comment section of the reddit post, the one who consider himself OG member of the forum, knows that Nick is Satoshi? Kinda interesting tbh.

I don't know what is topic #3, it gone forever already. No information that who deleted that topic. Did Satoshi delete it by himself or later admins delete it like sirius, theymos?

The topic number means it is very earliest one and very few people knew about it and still alive today. Cheesy

Nick is Satoshi, interesting if someone can provide more information about that.

Satoshi Nakamoto tried to mix his writing between European style and USA style. It is abnormal and it seems Satoshi Nakamoto intentionally did it to hide his nationality.

Personally I don't care real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto and wish that nobody will find him.

This is just one of the mysteries surrounding the identity of the creator of Bitcoin, the concept is merely another theory. The pseudonymous nature has sparked numerous speculations over the years, with many notable figures in the cryptocurrency space being viewed as possible candidates.

This debate has been ongoing within the crypto community for a long time. While some individuals have made contributions to the industry, it does not necessarily mean they are Satoshi Nakamoto. The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto continues to be one of the most enduring mysteries in the realms of technology and finance.

I myself was extremely surprised that one of the creators of our forum is Satoshi Nakamoto, it turns out that our forum is a kind of museum and this is the reason that the design of the site and its functionality do not change. I didn't understand this conservatism before.

Satoshi was a genius, an economist, a strong programmer and a man who understood human psychology perfectly. I think he was cooler than Elon Musk and Leonardo da Vinci, because he was really able to make an idea that could get such a spread.

Same here! I don't know about Nick Szabo. I already read that news about the identification about Hal Finey. Yes, Hal Finey isn't Satoshi Nakamoto. Hal Finey and Satoshi Nakamoto were very close friend. Both are also a programmer. Their best contribution is Bitcoin. Here @thymos represents their existence.

I meant I read about Nick Szabo in the past but I am not sure he is (or is not) Satoshi Nakamoto. It is different than the article from Lopp that is very detailed and has enough information for me to believe Hal Finney is not Satoshi Nakamoto.

I try to research the name of the guy mentioned and the result is this

Code:

Nick Szabo is a legendary figure in the world of blockchain and digital currency.
An esteemed computer scientist, legal scholar, and cryptographer,
he is best known for his pioneering work in digital currencies and smart contracts,
which paved the way for the emergence of blockchain technology.

Got the source from google, but I don't know if I pick the right person and this is the link to know more about him https://blockchainjungle.com/blogs/speakers/nick-szabo

But honestly I don't know this guy, he just pop up into some discussion and maybe there are people just to stir out things then point another entity then call that he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Until no proof provided maybe its better not to believe on such story since as been said anyone can claim that they are Satoshi Nakamoto.

I don't know about Nick Szabo but about Hal Finney who passed away by a disease, there is an article from Jameson Lopp in which he proved that Hal Finey is not Satoshi Nakamoto. Honestly, I am quite convinced that Hal is not Satoshi after reading it.

Why Hal Finney was not Satoshi Nakamoto?

But why are we always trying to find out Satoshi's real identity when he decided to remain anonymous forever? Haven't we always said that we respect him, we respect his decisions and that he has chosen to remain anonymous forever but we are always hunting him? Do we really respect him? Furthermore, if we find out his true identity and if that puts him in danger (if he is still alive). So what do we do next? Personally, I hope none of us know who he is, that's what he wants and I'll respect that.

As far as I am concerned, everybody is a Satoshi Nakamoto, case closed, whatever clues that might be put together will still end in a dead end, because anyone including the original Nakamoto himself can carry the identity of others, maybe the SN was even a fake name, who knows?

This person want to stay hidden and get all the proud ness and glory to himself without revealing who he is to the world, and imagine that, you becoming successful at what you do and you can't show the world, this man is a rare being, someone who knows what is coming with the existence of Bitcoin and the government.

I don't care to know, I don't even want to know who SN really is, what he built is working, that's all, imagine know who he is and everything he build are total failure?

The post and those letters look quite convincing, to an extent they make me believe who are the real people behind that pseudo name Satoshi Nakamoto. I always believed that Satoshi Nakamoto was not one single individual, there should be a group behind it or a few individuals. The reason I feel intrusive is due to the person who claims to be an OG of Bitcointalk. This individual is attempting to solve a mystery that I was never interested in uncovering. I have always found nature beautiful, and I don't see the need to dig the earth. Unfortunately, this anonymous user has destroyed my curiosity.

As for me, I agree with mk4 reply on this thread.

I agree with his understanding of those revelations, which does question the authenticity of the post. To remain anonymous in those days was the best option to stay away from the CIA and FBI.

Block halving is coming.

I don't think so no one could provide evidence of who is Satoshi and honestly anyone can be Satoshi they can create their own story from the information available on the internet and use that to fool other people that they are Satoshi Nakamoto.

Unless the admin and co-admin of this forum who are the first people who spoke with Satoshi confirmed that this man is Satoshi Nakamoto but it's not and I'm sure if Satoshi is alive or not he does not want his life to be in public and don't want to be chase by the government.

I just saw this thread trending on CryptoCurrency subreddit and found this reply by a guy who says he's one of the OG on Bitcoin Talk forum.
According to him:

Quote

The Satoshi Nakamoto who submitted the Bitcoin whitepaper was Nick Szabo. Japanese name is written in reverse so it's Nakamoto Satoshi. He picked this name as to get the same initials NS on the whitepaper while not having to reveal his full name.

Most people have already figured it out but choose not to commend about the subject on this public forum because it was SN's original request to stay anonymous.

So with that in mind, we really need to respect their request.

It's not noticed by a lot but most of the fake identity that we use to fabricate an online presence is subconsciously connected to you somehow, some might think that it's not because it's mostly words. The small hints probably aren't for the people that he'll meet online, it's probably for those close to him, someone that knows them personally and with those small hints, they'd be able to identify them, kind of like their very own secret or something like that.

And here is a link of emails which are released by Sirius titled Satoshi - Sirius emails 2009-2011: https://mmalmi.github.io/satoshi/
I have gone through all of these and I am sure someone with more knowledge and understanding can find out who Satoshi actually was.
Really interesting convo.
