Newb here - just wondering if anyone's suspected foul play in Satoshi's disappearance.  I think most people assume he vanished because he didn't want the spotlight, and a smaller group of people wonder whether he is indeed the pyramid scheme mastermind they've been warned about.  As the creator of a technology so potentially disruptive as Bitcoin I imagine he'd definitely be the target of some ultra-powerful banking syndicate, if you're inclined to believe such things.  Anyone know any of the details surrounding Satoshi's disappearance?

I think he still wrote Gavin for a few months after he disappeared

He's locked in my basement

Kinky!   :D

He's only kiddin' like Jason

Was he even a real person to start off with? Could just be a fictional name designed to keep the creator out of the spotlight when a name was needed.

They have him locked up in Guantanamo, he getting fingered by Mohammed as we speak.

Wow, getting diddled by a 1400 year old. Sounds... dry.

I have a fish

I don't know anything about him , but I suppose he acquired enough money from premining to transfer his brain into a robot and is now travelling through space at light speed into a time where he rules the universe

Last place he was seen was breaking into Butterfly Labs riding a unicorn.

Tinfoil hat much?

Aluminum works much better as a mind control deflector.

He's busy stealing all of BFL's miners.

Bring out the Gimp...

Gimp's sleepin...

Well WAKE HIM!

There are tons of viable reasons for Satoshi' withdrawing from bitcoin.

Phil Zimmermann being an international arms trader one of them.

he was a real screen name.  posted about 300 times to this msg board under the name satoshi.  here is a link to his pgp key maintained by bitcoin.org: http://bitcoin.org/satoshinakamoto.asc

if he ever returns he will sign a message with that key.  i pray he does come soon for the judgement.

Dear Satoshi, if you out there, we need your salvation!

I believe Satoshi is everywhere all the time - in our wallets, all of our transactions, in our thoughts, in our very dreams of BTC!!

Each and every BTC reveals 100 Million facets of the legend they call Satoshi! :-*

I believe he is not a real person.

This.

Persecution followed by prosecution. The powers that be don't like when things like this (Bitcoin) come along.

What was he then? An alien?

I think it's more likely he vanished because a bunch of libertards showed up, took his experiment and raped it. Long, hard and unrelenting.

[wild, but surely not unheard guess]Satoshi is Gavin.[/wild, but surely not unheard guess]
At least this would mean he is up and well ;)

It's possible that Satoshi is still active in the community under a different alias.

I think he has retired in some nudist camp in a tropical developing country.


ya.ya.yo!

i r satoshi

He is with bigfoot smoking blunts.

Wow, what is that from...

a beck song?

 There might not be a "satoshi" for all we know the government itself could have secretly created bitcoin.
