We know from our history lessons that Satoshi mined the genesis block on 2009-01-03 at 18:15:05. As the most blockes mined within the first month the 50 BTC reward was never moved. (Most of the 500,000 BTC that were mined before May 2009 have never left their first destination address.)

Then on 2009-01-13 at 18:20:08 - the blockchain was exactly 10 days old - 50 coins where mined that were sent three days later to another wallet.

The destination address '12hig' is very interesting. It received 77,624 BTC until 2011-06-04 and then started to cash out all his BTC that were worth about 1,7 million USD beginning from 2011-06-05 until the end of the month. Exciting days for the Bitcoin community. The BTC price rose from the 2nd to 8th of June from 11 to 30 USD and then fell to 13 USD a few days later.

To cash out Satoshi (or an other person who mined Bitcoin in the first 10 days of its existence) used #bitcoin-otc and verified his address '12hig' there.

Funfact (or a hint that this user was admin of bitcoin-otc): User I}ruid as the User Id 1337  :)

What do you think? Have these people traded with Satoshi? Do they know his fiat bank account?

I remember Satoshi sent 10BTC to Hal Finney to test the transaction system, perhaps you are referring to that user?

This is the transaction to Hal Finney (the first transaction ever) on 2009-01-12 03:30:25

Hal Finney sent the 10 BTC on 2010-11-16 to another address that is still active. There are no connections between '12hig' and Hal Finney's addresses.

If it's not Satoshi, then somebody who started mining one day after Satoshi tested the transaction system the first time.

And this..

(not Satoshi)

Correct, I am not Satoshi.  I did however work with him via email on the first few versions of the client, testing and reporting bugs and suggesting additional features.

  Props to you  :) 8)

Ah! The Church of Satoshi and Latter day coins will remember you as a saint and canonise you. Be one with the block chain. Blessed be thy blockchain.

:-)

I am Satoshi!  Please send many of your Bitcoins to 1MWPQRCEnJZn27SVETyHNKrPWMjiDgr8aw in tribute as I would like to purchase a new Llama.

Now that you have said that you are Satoshi, we can rule you out from search

Exactly!  8)

P.S. I want to buy my Llama a Tesla, so please update your generosity accordingly.

It's Maria.
