I have included an artist's rendering of what Satoshi is believed to have looked like below: http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/images/previews/9ROAAEUTEd3xVCMbgN1eoB5FD5FEd14cJJD9enTIrM5ceIdlm5p.jpg bio: "Satoshi Nakamoto was a pioneer in the frontier of crypto-anarchy. Satoshi is most widely known for the creation and development of a cryptographic decentralized peer-to-peer digital currency, dubbed 'bitcoin', which uses a clever proof-of-work scheme to solve the infamous 'double-spending' problem without resorting to the use of a centralized authority. The currency soon grew, with several millions of dollars worth of bitcoins currently in existence. This, unfortunately, drew the attention of the authorities, namely governments and banks who felt threated by the erosion of their monopoly power over the issuance of currency and control over trade. It is presumed that Satoshi was taken down in a raid on his home, due to the potential ability that bitcoin could be used to fund the whistle-blowing journalistic organization 'Wikileaks', which lost its main sources of income (PayPal, Visa, BoA, etc) after exposing government conspiracies and providing transparency to the US State Department's foreign affairs. However, since bitcoin is a peer-to-peer currency, it will be able to continue to grow despite the death of its creator and spiritual leader, Satoshi Nakamoto." Title: Re: Is Satoshi Alive?

We have good reasons to worry. What is there to worry about? On one hand, I understand concept of worrying, but on the other hand, some individuals from the established community may be able to take responsibility or initiative to take where satoshi has left off. And if satoshi were to return, any updates initiated or responsibilized by the community can be pushed back to satoshi so that he may continue where the rest of the community has left off, and if satoshi deems that all or any of the updates from the community are not the direction he had anticipated for bitcoin, he can revert them at his discretion.

His name comes from joined names of Japanese corporations who created him, Samsung-Toshiba-Nakamichi-Motorola. in 2075, these corporations formed a single huge megacorporation, in joined effort to perfect time travel technology. After they successfully conducted first tests of Future-Vision Hyperdimensional Matrix™ in 2075, and got a glimpse 9 years into the future (2085), they saw the earth being destroyed by a nuclear disaster which was result of war caused by terrible worldwide economical crisis. They were devastated by the things they saw, and they completely commited all of their funds to developing time travel technology & building an intelligent robot which they can send into the past. That was necessary because a glitch in the Time Vortex Plasma-Based Bipulsary Manipulator™ caused any organic matter to be damaged when travelling through the vortex. They created first working prototype of S.A.T.O.S.H.I. in 2083.

If that makes sense. Quote from: http://juick.com/lzsaver/1037228 The Reality. It is a role-playing game. It can be of any nature, but most likely that it is turn based. You are not in the present. You are in the future. Always. You are never in the present. Here is only the Player in the present. You see everything. The Player sees only what is available to see on his level. You communicate with Others. The Player may only guess that he will do in the present. The player makes a turn. You already done it. You know all options. You are in the future. The distance from You to the Player is measured in the time. The Player's level is also determined by the distance in the time. If he goes in the right direction he levels up. He sees not only the present but also that You have seen. Déjà vu. But if he does not understand the game he sees less and less. And he may approach too closely to You. Blinding. The Game may be over. Think about this. However, You have already decided everything. It is your turn, the Player. Title: Re: Is Satoshi Alive?

I mean, has anyone seen any life sign of satoshi ? Accidents happen all the time ... Title: Re: Is Satoshi Alive? Thread Post by: ribuck on February 28, 2011, 02:29:06 PM Accidents happen all the time ... It's fairly clear that Satoshi planned this absence. Before he became inactive, he asked Gavin to take over the build process. He also removed the part of the code that allowed him to send a PGP-signed message that would put Bitcoin clients into safe mode. So I don't think Satoshi's absence is due to having met with an accident. It would be quite OK if Satoshi has chosen to melt away into the background, and if his identity is never discovered. The idea of an invention as great as Bitcoin having been unleashed by an anonymous benefactor is quite cool. It will lead to some great speculation in the future though. Is Satoshi Hal Finney? Is Satoshi Peter Gutmann? Is Satoshi Bruce Schneier? Is Satoshi Gavin Andreessen? Title: Re: Is Satoshi Alive? Thread Post by: SmokeTooMuch on February 28, 2011, 02:36:40 PM Maybe it's you, ribuck ;)
Ok, so as I thought, his absence was planned. So probably he's still alive. That's good. But haven't he mentioned anything when he will come back ? Will he ever ?

I mean what creator would resign completely from watching his creation grow ? After some time passes, he surely will show up and start developing Bitcoin himself again under different credentials. The point is, the guy just wants some privacy. And this is good, because that shows clearly that it's not the fame he is after, but ideals. IMHO we should respect that and leave his identity alone.

Thread Post by: markm on March 01, 2011, 07:49:33 AM There are some interesting historical re-enactment holodramas produced and directed by researchers at the Institute of Chronodynamics (see the "Time Cadet" timeline(s) in the Battle for Wesnoth add-on "Between the Worlds" for info regarding said Institute) that have just in the last few years started to become viewable using Earthling technology that shed considerable light upon this matter.
Apparently the Grand Nexus Uberplan software suite deployed on primitive worlds such as ours aims to enable the training of Holobarracks Programmers in advance of the release of actual Holobarrack Technology. To that end, a storyboarding tool known as Battle for Wesnoth has been made available which is able to parse one of the more simplistic timeline-scripting layers of standard Holonovels and Holodocudramas, allowing Earthlings to actually follow the plotlines of such novels and docudramas. According to sources inside the I.C. who actually worked on the research and development of the Institute's historical holodocumentary re-enactments, Bitcoin software was already in use on the planet known as M4 when Marie Marny was elected as shown in Battle for Wesnoth add-on "Martian Invasion 1594". And yes, that does mean 1594 C.E. The very same computer that you see in Canadian Prime Minister Kenzie's office on the planet known as M5 in the Battle for Wesnoth add-on "Mystery in 1596" did not have Bitcoin software on it when Scotty arrived in 1596, but by the time he left it had been installed. In "Mutiny in 1626", the computer that Captain Bligh captured from the Egyptians was not running Bitcoin software when he captured it, but obtaining and installing such software was an important step forward for the various nations on the planet known as E29 in their attempts at resisting the depredations of the Egyptian Fundamentalists led by "living god" Akhenaten. There is apparently little agreement however as to whether the software as released here on Earth was placed under a BSD license instead of a Grand Nexual Uberplan (GNU) license as a tip of the hat to a British implementation known as Bits Shillings and Pence (B,s,d) or to the software itself, Brilliant Satoshi Digicurrency. If it was also intended as a means of slipping under the radar of anyone investigating the Grand {Nexus|Nexual} Uberplan oops, sorry, Agent Crissy and her fellow holoprogrammers at the Institute have kind of let that cat out of the bag it seems... -MarkM- Title: Re: Is Satoshi Alive?

Quote from: Wikipedia Paul Galvin purchased the patents to the automotive radio and acquired the rights to the trade name Motorola ("motor" and "Victrola") from William Lear. The name Motorola was adopted in 1930, and the word has been used as a trademark since the 1930s. Title: Re: Is Satoshi Alive?

That one was done on very short notice. You can read the thread which lead to that presentation here: http://forum.agora.io/discussion/5/using-technology-to-advance-liberty/ We have much more ambitious plans for the next Agorist Unconference in September where we are hoping to fill and entire channel with presentations under the general category of "Tools for the Counter Evolution". The preliminary outline can be found here: http://forum.agora.io/discussion/12/laozi-tools-for-the-counter-evolution-channel/#Item_3 I would appreciate any help in fact checking or for that matter anyone more qualified than me to do a presentation on Bitcoin or any of the other subjects being addressed.

Thread Post by: haightst on November 12, 2013, 12:56:45 PM Actually, Satoshi is a robot sent from the future to stop the largest currency crisis in the history of mankind, and the nuclear war that followed the political chaos caused by it. wow how did i not see this post before!~ even more proof !!! 8)His name comes from joined names of Japanese corporations who created him, Samsung-Toshiba-Nakamichi-Motorola. in 2075, these corporations formed a single huge megacorporation, in joined effort to perfect time travel technology. After they successfully conducted first tests of Future-Vision Hyperdimensional Matrix™ in 2075, and got a glimpse 9 years into the future (2085), they saw the earth being destroyed by a nuclear disaster which was result of war caused by terrible worldwide economical crisis. They were devastated by the things they saw, and they completely commited all of their funds to developing time travel technology & building an intelligent robot which they can send into the past. That was necessary because a glitch in the Time Vortex Plasma-Based Bipulsary Manipulator™ caused any organic matter to be damaged when travelling through the vortex. They created first working prototype of S.A.T.O.S.H.I. in 2083. Fortunately for us, in January 2084 a stable backward-aligned temporal vortex was created and Satoshi was successfully transported to set coordinates in the past. And here we go, creating a better future for the mankind. TRIP OUT!!!! http://agoodtime.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/img_0044.jpg |
