Title: "Satoshi Nakamoto" shedding some light on Bitcoin
Post by: ae_online on December 14, 2015, 07:46:53 PM
So moderators out in Reddit seem to have no problem about a topic going on over there. It has been going around on twitter too. Satoshi Nakamoto is shedding some light about bitcoin. So far we know that "Satoshi Nakamoto" is a group not a person. Here is the conversation: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3wqijk/bitcoin_v10/

If I can't post a link, then please remove it.

That looks like someone just playing around and trying to be smart.

I wouldn't read into it too much.

Everybody can create a username like that an start telling a story.. Don't trust these type of messages unless they are signed by satoshis PGP key.

People are so easy to convince nowadays, probably because they just want to find him so badly.

It's someone pretending to be Satoshi. Like many people here have said, if Satoshi does want to show himself, he would have to prove it by showing he has the private keys to his known accounts.

+1. Until that person proves it by signing a message with one of the known addresses that belongs to Satoshi I wouldn't buy any bullcrap he says. And seriously, Satoshi-Nakamoto-BTC, talk about being discreet.
Lastly just have a look at Satoshi's posts here, he was much more "tech-speaking" guy

People need to understand that satoshi is most likely never coming back.

Satoshi wants anonymity and he gets it this guy is just loading out a bunch of nonsense from his mouth.

satoshi entity was one person. but he didnt work alone.. EG hal finney.

and hal finney never used the pseudonym satoshi.. so the pseudonym did not represent a group..

so yet another lack of research, lack of understanding bit of clickbait to get people over to reddit

For the last 9 years many people have been wondering about the rising of Bitcoin, but more importantly the person(s) behind Bitcoin. Why does it really matter? I can tell you what you want to hear, but the story will somehow change and turn against Satoshi Nakamoto. It’s up to you to read this message the right way.

Everytime someone gets a tip indicating that they found Satoshi Nakamoto the first impression is to either raid the entrepreneur’s home or cause grief towards the creator(s) themselves. Whatever you might think of it as; there are many great things Bitcoin did to this world.

The pilot idea was to bring currency in a cryptographic source. The crypto-currency is managed in a democratic format. It allows the world to have control of mining Bitcoins at their very own hands. Imagine that? Well, stop imagining. It’s happening in our current lives. You blame us for all the wrong-doings that involves Bitcoin, but who is to blame? Satoshi Nakamoto. Well then we can blame the Phoenicians for all the wrong-doings around the world. It’s just not right. We will help, till the end. I’m sure you realize the static of the Bitcoin market and the unusual rise of a steady crypto-commodity. I hope it puts you all to peace. We look forward to improving the most valuable currency in the world. We will let you all know how to contribute to improving Bitcoin. We are ready to put you in our circle by giving you the lost and legendary key: 5361746f736869204e616b616d6f746f

Thank you. -The central origin of clear thinking.

I would be really interested in reading his early posts. I tried the search feature for username Satoshi, but either he used something else or I am doing something wrong. What username did he use so I could read them?

Is this person trying to make us believe he is Satoshi? Not even sure... This is by far the worst attempt at impersonating him, and I've seen quite a few :D

Just a bunch of weird text, no signatures, no nothing...

As Bitcoin popularity grows the number of "coming-outs" will grow too.
Actually Bitcoin creator personality is pretty much irrelevant at this point.

You know you can search by username right?

Anyway, here is his profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

If you click show last messages of this person, you can see all of his posts that he made on these forums.

That string doesn't prove anything. If the real Satoshi wanted to post anything he would use his PGP key that he left a link to in this post. You can use his public key to verify whether any post from someone claiming to be Satoshi is really from him. Any post that cannot be authenticated by that key is probably from an impostor.


For future reference, here's my public key.  It's the same one that's been there since the bitcoin.org site first went up in 2008.  Grab it now in case you need it later.

I'm not implying that it proves the user is Satoshi just posting the facts; it's clearly a troll post.

Satoshi would have used base58.  ;)

Anyone could have done this and it seems pretty fair.

i never knew that bitcoin had been around for 9 years , I thought it was made in 2009. This reddit thing seems pretty fake to me.

Just looking by the first 5 words, everyone could notice that whoever that guy is trying to come out as a person of knowledge on this field, has done a very bad job of researching about Bitcoin and tries to make an statement as if his an official or someone that has been working closely since before (which clearly isn't).

He is getting quite many viewers, when i am there 4 users are also reading. I don't think satoshi will appear like that in the current situation. Where people are hunting for satoshi.
Will not believe in this one.
