strange

Strange why? There's likely more than a thousand people named satoshi.
If you'd just check the citation in that page you'll see that they apparently have his pic. Nothing in there says anything about bitcoin.

The pic they are given like this one is not a satoshi nakamoto who made bitcoin

Well like other said many people who same name with satoshi. and we can not know who is the real satoshi nakamoto..

Searched whole article and can't find a single word "bitcoin" so there is no relation of this article and bitcoin.

He is not the real satoshi behind bitcoin for sure, he have already cleared his name and he can't be satoshi.

this is a game that predates bitcoin.
its a puzzle game more so than finding wally/waldo thing, as it requires cards that link to cryptographic and logic puzzles

for all we know bitcoins inventor liked the game and decided to assume the pseudonym due to that game, knowing after a decade of unsuccessfully "finding satoshi" in the game was futile, even with clues.. the bitcoins inventor could have decided to use that name as a hat tip to anonymity.

no one is saying the guy behind the pre-dated game is the same physical person. but it could elude to how the bitcoins inventor chose his name AFTER playing the game and taking a liking to the name

i dont really care who or where satoshi is and to be honest i hope that he never shows up, it could turn out to be a disaster once the press are done with him.

No need to find him, Bitcoin is doing just fine as it is and I don't see any need for anyone to go and find him. There is simply nothing that you can get out of finding Satoshi, and it would likely be more detrimental than anything. He just becomes a target for countries around the world to try and secure some power over the blockchain, whether or not they actually would be able to do anything with him.

again this topic is not about finding the bitcoincreator.

but finding a random person in a separate game where the person has the same name. the game predates bitcoin by a decade.

Satoshi Nakamoto, a person behjnd bitcoins. I am searching him on google and yahoo and it seems no kne had posted his face on media. But i think i really doesnt matter to find him. Bitcoins already reach the popularity and peak. Even satoshi nakamoto will not appear anymore, bitcoins already have its own label as digital currency. and i think even satoshi nakamoto appear, it still wont affect its value.

His name is Satoshi Nakomoto.
I am Satoshi.
You are Satoshi.
We are all Satoshi.

i dont understand this complex with "who is satoshi".
to me, doesnt make any difference... bitcoin is opensource and "decentralized" so what could he do(beside dump his coins..)?

in my imagination , satoshi is smart and very genius man with slanted eyes
whatever about satoshi . i just say thankyou for him that created bitcoin
because bitcoin can help many people

Satoshi is still mistery , however every one behind the name Satoshi Nakamoto is a smart , futuristic person

It is possible that Satoshi Nakamoto is not a single person, it is maybe an alias used by a group of individuals who have thought of something like a currency online which gave birth to cryptocurrency and bitcoin. It is also possible that they just made bitcoin not as a currency but it was accidentally considered and accepted as a currency when someone thought of buying it after seeing a potential use and income. But whoever nakamoto is and what ever purpose bitcoin is made of I am happy that bitcoin today has helped me a lot to earn online.

if he was to dump his coins he would have done that already ,the creator is the one who made all these things possible and i cannot understand why people are asking about why he is relevant if he is to appear now. Lets put this way the people who thinks they are the core to the project and can very much control and decide things should be given the shake and i am not sure whether they will accept anyone if the real creator is to appear because their importance will be small,ego plays a role here

No one really knows who is Satoshi Nakamoto is. Even google dont know who he is. Satoshi Nakamoto i guess is just alias. And i guess its a group of person because no one can create bitcoin on itself only. Also if he expose himself to the world. I think goverment will chase him. Its still a mystery to.us.

Ok, Let's assume that this is a possibility and he named himself after this game, then he had to have had a glimpse into the future. How would he have known that people would be looking for him, before it happened? I agree, he might have liked the game and used it as a pseudonym, but I figure the rest of the plot happened after Gavin went to the government.

The mystery just continues. ^smile^ 

Out of my own curiosity too, I looked into him and also found out at a time he was on the forum and his title was "Founder" I was just wowed that so the name exist. But how he was able to keep himself a way from the public and no official picture of him still baffles me. Several articles and investigative journalism has been written about him but no certainty as to that... But maybe in the future he can decide to come out but still he did something for this generation...

True, many person name Satoshi all around the world now. So how are you gonna find it, especially in bitcoin world many of them pretending to be mr. satoshi but the truth is not.

Satoshi Nakamoto is not a name,it`s nickname.

The founder of bitcoin is not from Japan.

I assume we all know that,unless some newbies who started learning about bitcoin recently.

What's the point of discussing satoshi anyway? Do people who use paper money or gold in the old ages look for who invented these things? No, they don't. Satoshi hid for a reason. He might have stored a million BTC for all we know that' why he hid. The fact is Satoshi is not a concern we should waste time anymore; he doesn't want to be found. So let's just let him be.

People just need to leave him alone.. i really dont get why people are dead set to find him

I don't think there's any way you can find out who that person or group was. We do not even know whether that is the real name or just a fake one to be anonymous. We don't know pretty much anything about him, it is all speculation.

It is very much possible. It can be a single or a group of person who created blockchain and bitcoin. No one here have met satoshi in person so your guess is as good as mine.

I don't know what exatly you want. You don't know who is stitching your clothes, you don't know who is farming the fields for grains but we are eating them, but in some cases who know their names but personally we din't meet them in this way only don't know who is that satoshi nakmoto.

Few days back an Australian claimed that he is real Satoshi but failed to prove his claim.Satoshi is a common Japanese surname and there may be thousands persons by that name but the real Satoshi is beyond anyone reach till now

As far as I know had made three attempts to find Satoshi. First was some well known scientists of cryptography, second was a Californian engineer and at ast the entrepreneur from Australia. None of these was successful. So, if there is this person it's sure he knows to stay anonymous pretty nice. Maybe if he will die world learns his real identity.

And aside from the governments, a lot of individual criminals and criminal gangs might be going after him too, for all his millions of bitcoins. Yeah, I know he has only ~980,000 bitcoins, but it is still worth the effort. Thus it might be a wise decision overall to disappear without a trace. Though his bitcoins should be working and not sitting idly in his wallets. Why he wouldn't just share them equally among bitcoiners?

And then people could safely forget about him

980000 bitcoins is enough for me ;), even 1000 would be very appreciated. Your right that we don't need to know who the real person behind this fake name, the guy has the right to stay anonymous.

Also, I don't think he will share it among all the bitcoiners.

All this talk about descentralized currency, no one controls the Bitcoins... But, he made a good profit with that. If he wouldn't be the currency's creator, he wouldn't have that big profit. Surely he deserves this right, but we he had profitable benefits, going against the Bitcoin philosophy.

But for his own safety, he can't show his ID, this can be very risk for him. Governments harassing all the time, terrorists tryng to coopt him, thiefs trying to steal him or Kidnap.
