Title: Satoshi Still Alive?
Post by: tacoman71 on August 14, 2013, 08:54:27 PM
When I was looking at the block info for the very first block, the "Genesis Block", I check the address where those first BTC50 went. It obviously it belonged to Satoshi Nakamoto. Apparently that address is still in use. And according to a transaction, a person sent a fraction of a mBTC to that address under the bitcoin-otc name Konichua. Any thoughts?

People send coins there all the time.  The address is public knowledge anyone can send coins to any known address trivially.  This doesn't provide any indication the person sending the coins knows Satoshi or that he is even alive.

Now someone SPENDING coins from some of the early blocks (genesis block is unspendable) that would be pretty interesting.  Someone spending from an address known to be owned by Satoshi well that would be huge.

That is from block 1 btw, block 0 is the genesis block.

NY State just issued 20 subpoena to various Bitcoin Kingpins.

Since many people know... it's only a matter of time.

Maybe Satoshi can explain the difference between secret-mine, pre-mine, and insta-mine.
