What do u know interesting anout Satoshi? Do u think he is the new Steve Jobs? :)

Satoshi's true identity may have been David Kleiman.

Unfortunately Kleiman died in 2013 and we may never know the truth or facts regarding whether he was Satoshi.

Here is an article on it.

Thanks so much 4 a reply, gonna read it!) :-*

Oh yeah, I've heard it ::)

Steve Jobs is one of the most successful businessman that has existed on earth. But Satoshi is not the next Steve Jobs, Satoshi is unique in his own terms and he remains hidden in the shadows. He did not exposed his real identity but I am sure that he is a rich individual since bitcoin is already at 2700$ per coin.

I don't think he is the new Steve Jobs, he is more akin to Tesla if you ask me, but nonetheless he is a very unique figure in his own right surrounded by a veil of mystery.

But Steve Jobs is dead. Maybe the new Elon Musk perhaps?

It may be possible that he faded away from public space because of his personal reasons regarding his health and if he was to die he could have left behind a legacy and cult following and it is possible that he chose to have privacy rather than exposure and one more interesting thing is that even if the real man behind the alias come forward no one is going to accept it ,unless we see the initial coins moving.

Even though there is no sure way to ascertain who Satoshi is really is even after reading several articles on the subject matter without even convinced who he is really is, one is thing I know for sure is that he is a legend of our time who has not only created something worthwhile but a technological breakthrough that no one yet has been able to destroy and did this without acclaiming popularity or fame for himself. This is something that is quite scarce among inventors these days who prefer to be a celebrity and enjoy the stardom for as long as possible.

I don't know anything interesting about Satoshi Nakamoto, but everyone knows that he mined a thousand bitcoins before leaving it behind. And Satoshi Nakamoto don't need to be compared to Steve Jobs, Steve Jobs did some desperate decisions to maintain his position, Satoshi leave us bitcoin not knowing how it helps us right now, he is like a hero.

lol
more than a million

Who knows, maybe someone like Satoshi Nakamoto has never been. I guess we'll never know. May be the creation of bitcoins is any state or organization that has decided to change the financial system of the world and bring the Americans out of the game. Too much a global project for one person.

i dont know if the article is true or not but I think it would be hard to create a cryptocurrency and discover the blockchain technology if you have such complications. He shut himself down in this community and then faded though tin air. We are lacking so much evidence and this will be remain a mystery to me. If satoshi wont reveal himself before he leaves on earth this will become a myth in the future generations. Good article but I don't think that he is Satoshi.

Or maybe he doesn't want a lot of public attention due the fact that he himself is holds a ton of pre-mined bitcoins which would be a fortune at this period. If his identity is known, people will definitely target the man for his money or maybe even knowledge or secrets about bitcoin. Who knows?

Kleiman  was in and out of hospital many times .. including times where 'satoshi' was healthily writing code and posts online, thus cant be the same person.

kleiman was heavily interested in investigating and identifying people and was a government man.... 'satoshi' was interested in a non government non identity.. thus cant be the same person

the 'trust' kleiman set up for craig wright (the only 'claim' of linkage) was quickly debunked via proof that the trust only contained PUBLIC keys(anyone can copy) and was only (falsely)validated using a signature that is public knowledge(pre-existing) and part of the blockchain and nothing to do with 'millions of coins' but a transaction PUBLICLY visible in the blockchain that anyone can copy and paste.

in short the 'signature' amounts simply to someone doing a search for an existing signature and then claiming its proof of identity to millions of things that a certain identity might be linked to. to which if i done something similar, i could simply do

i am bill gates i own everything from microsoft or medical cures



so can we drop the klieman/wright myth. as thats drama that got debunked 1-2 year ago

if the only requirement to being satoshi is having said signature

we are all satoshi

I should have met Mr. Sat along ago and took a partnership with him. I could have been a billionaire today.  :(

No, he is scholar/teacher of some kind by me, that is poor programmer.
He solved great problem tho, and is kind of a genius/Leonardo Da Vinci of some kind ;)

Hah he could offer you one right now and you'd likely laugh in his face. And the same goes with most on here. You respect the fame/money and not the individual/person inside.

no one know who is satoshi nakamoto even people which working with him when he build project of bitcoin. we don't know why he don't want told to other people who is he. maybe now he is watching bitcoin grow and i know he is somewhere in the dark, waiting for something. but he is not steve jobs.

There isn't a whole lot of fame for most true inventors these days.  There's alot of front-men that take credit and get celebrity with a cast of inventors behind them.  Most inventors have their profound inventions do something after their death or when their patents run out.

They're very far from each other, like a world apart. They are both peculiar in their own ways. Satoshi Nakamoto was a pseudonym to hide the real identity from. Steve Jobs on the other hand is giving talks, interviews, lectures and speeches even. Very open to the world, in other words. Satoshi didn't even give a hint on his or her or their identity/ies. But both of them have contributed a huge improvement to the world.

Up until now the name Satoshi Nakamoto is both a legend and a shadow. Let it be.

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto does not know anybody, since no one has seen him. In this regard, even believe that he can be an artificial mind.

This is the first time for me to read something about this man who might have been the real Satoshi Nakamoto. A lot of people are saying that the name Satoshi Nakamoto is just a code name and that he may not really be Japanese after all. Anyway, the mystery surrounding this Satoshi Nakamoto is just as exciting as Bitcoin. Dead man can not tell any tale anymore.

If the intrigue and mystery surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto goes away, then bitcoin wouldn't be as much fun....I think that part of the value of the bitcoin network is directly related to the mystery surrounding the person who put together the pieces that made the platform work.  While the true value of the platform is undoubtedly more directly attributed to the robustness of the network and the participation of the community, the mystique encircling its creation induces an excitement and a motivation to be a part of that community which produces the network's value....For that reason, I hope the mystery surrounding bitcoin's creation is never solved and these questions continue to be debated.

satoshi nakamoto is founder of bitcoin,but he never shows his face.bitcoin is became very popular currency in the world.he is great man.

There has been a lot of controversy as to who Satoshi Nakomoto is. One of the theories is that the name "Satoshi Nakomoto" came from the meaning of Satoshi which is "clear thinking, quick witted, wise" and Naka meaning "medium, inside, or relationship" while Moto means "origin or foundation". Another theory is that Satoshi is a mere pseudonym used by some or more computer geniuses.

The most interesting thing that I know is that nobody know Satoshi in face, people are just supposing who he might be. I doubt that Satoshi is next Jobes, if he would be so he already would be media face and play his role on all this presentations about changings like SegWit. But he is not.
I believe that Satoshi, if he is really exist, just a very modest man who doesn't like the attention.

Though you are completely right here, your posting will sadly be forgotten in a few hours due to a flood of sig spamming. A new topic will pop up soon: "Proof that Kleiman was Satoshi!". In that one you will find somebody quoting Satoshi's "I am not Dorian Nakamoto" post as a proof, that Satoshi was alive at that time and another one, that refers to CW as in "Maybe he wants us to believe that he is not Satoshi" and so on and on and on ...

Satoshi Nakamoto till know is still not identified. We dont know why he did not want him to be known for his work. maybe lets just thank him and respect his decision to be anonymous.

satoshi is dead too.

Even if his physical body still lives in somewhere (which i doubt somehow) his bitcointalk  forum profile is dead just like Steve. So satoshi and Steve have some thing in common. They are both dead.

If you want to know more about satoshi, just read his forum posts. They still exist.

I think Satoshi Nakamoto to stay as it is i.e. to let his identity to be hidden is for the sake of himself and the entire Bitcoin world. There are many speculations but I wish that these speculations will also stay as it is though they may continue to disprove each others speculation but prove will be unlikely and should be unlikely to happen.

This is the only logical reason I see for the sudden disappearance or lying low of Satoshi. Of course he knew that it was either he did that or took a fatal hit from nowhere. You don't hold such a wealth involving codes and keys and walk freely on the streets without someone trying to force them out of you. I don't believe Satoshi is dead. He's only hiding his identity.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or persons who designed bitcoin and created its original reference implementation. As part of the implementation, he also devised the first blockchain database
Reference- Google

Some say hes just a creation and only a screen name of the real one who made the bitcoin. Satoshi Nakamoto is considered the most enigmatic character in cryptocurrency world. Until now it is unclear if he or she is a single person, or if the name is a moniker used by a group. What is known is that Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper in 2008 that jump started the development of cryptocurrency. That's all we know about him and the fact is we will never be able to know who is Satoshi Nakamoto unless he or she reveals himself, but there are person/s who said they are but we can't conclude if it's true.

I think that there is no such person as Satoshi Nakamoto. Perhaps behind this name hides a team. No one knows what the consequences will cause the idea of crypto currency. I wonder if this will change the entire world economy. For the better or worse only time will tell.

Sure it was a team. ANB or CIA or FBI. "Satoshi" has provided finalised payment solution and did not try discuss it with community, it is very strange

Well actually you can be right with your deduction towards satoshi because I also think the same way, that Satoshi Nakamoto is a code name that he uses the entire time he Activated Bitcoin, and in my opinion we don't really need to know about the identity of a legend even thought if he is dead, if he is? he already provide us with a great concept of technology that let's us grab and grind the future of getting an income with Cryptocurrencies and that is really astonishing and I think it is better this way.

This is what I know....Nobody is going to be Satoshi Nakamoto without a signed transaction, a REAL signed transaction.  There's too many frauds, crazy theories, and bullshit stories to believe anything without the proof.  The whole intent of the blockchain was to create a device which can prove and verify ownership without the interference of a third party --->  No key ---> No signature ---> No Satoshi

How about Satoshi emerging from the darkness once again,if there is a chain split then i am pretty much sure that we will see Satoshi coming back to move his coins ,i really think we could see the real person behind this great technology during these situation,so the following weeks are really interesting to see what will happen to bitcoin.

Exactly but I read somewhere there isn't going to be a split so hopefully satoshi needn't have to move his coins yet under these same conditions. It's strange but he's a great dude and I wish to see him.

Maybe someone whose name is Satoshi Nakamoto must be very secret. We'll never know. Perhaps a creation called bitcoin is a highly developed country. There are currently too many unexpected global projects.

One thing is certain, Satoshi Nakamoto doesn't feel the need to be in the spotlights. I'm wondering if he will ever spent his Bitcoins, it seems like he doesn't care about the money. Otherwise he would have done it earlier when Bitcoin skyrocket from nothing to $1000.
