Topic: Why Shouldn't We Put a Bounty on [email protected] Hacker? (Read 2257 times)
satoshi fucking christ! this is getting dumb! we don't need bad publicity!!
And what if something then happens to him? Silk Road is still often dragged into the conversation when the press talks about Bitcoin... Imagine if they could even remotely spin this into a way that makes it sound like the Bitcoin community put a hit out on the guy (even if it was just a call to bring him to justice).
I suspect the hacker is bluffing. Just look at the way Bitcoin is set up, there is a paranoid level of security in key pair implementation alone - elliptic curve multiplication, SHA256, and RIPEMD-160 - he knows better than most that hackers will find a way. He would not leave such an obvious trace. IP Address maybe, but the hacker claiming "The fool used a primary gmx under his full name and had aliases set up underneath it" just screams bullshit.
Unless Satoshi wanted to be found. I imagine there could be a few benefits that come along with accepting the identity of Bitcoin's creator.

often times, its the most minor of simple habits, or things that do one in. not saying I think Satoshi is soon be to revealed ( the sum of its whole won't allow it ). but the theory that one who believes in and practices cryptology could not make a mistake is silly.
it's a nice piece of tech , a change of pace, and breath of fresh air in a stagnant world, but the creators are still very much human.
The "hacker" has already been doxed. Man you guys are slow
Some troll hacker has claimed to have gained access to [email protected] (Satoshi Nakamoto's email account)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/satoshingmxcom-is-compromised-775174
He is asking for 25 BTC donation in order to reveal Satoshi's true identity and other related info.
Why shouldn't we start a fund raiser to collect 50 BTC and offer it as bounty to whoever tracks and shoots this hacker?

[Threatening to] Dox someone makes it okay to murder them?
Satoshi would be ashamed.
He is also more likely then not lying about knowing satashi's identity so there will be nothing to reveal.
Ignored such claimant. Probably scam! If the hacker finds the private key of Satoshin's bitcoin account, he will be silent and cash out the bitcoin to spend.
Exactly.
satoshi should add some coins to the bounty.. i dont' see why not, since he has 1 million coins.
Let's do it! crowdfund it !
At this moment it does not seem like the
But if he is able to prove that he indeed has this information and is willing to reveal it, I will consider starting a bounty on http://coinfunder.com/

You're a confirmed scumbag for the title of the post.
Thank you, duly noted.
Next, please!

Has it been confirmed yet whether he has truly hacked the email or just registered it after expiring?
Yes it's been confirmed. Jesus.
Do you have a link with such confirmation?
Not sure why everyone cares so much about a throw away e-mail lol
Well something like this is bound to cause excitement and intrigue especially in these slow and unexciting bitcoin times.

Because putting bounties on people is a very dumb thing to do, in my opinion. We're trying to push a decentralized currency, not backed by a single entity, yet suddenly we get all afraid because an email account got hacked? That sounds pretty childish!

Where did the hacker ask for 25btc? Maybe i missed that bit.
Don't really think we need a bounty, if the US goverment thinks this guy has info on Satoshi then they would probably be already beating it out of him.
