Title: satoshi response
Post by: CoinExchanger on October 19, 2011, 12:08:09 PM
Here is an email i shared with satoshi back in 2008.

Hello Satoshi.
 
 I would like to talk to you about bitcoin and the future of curencies. You seem to have almost complete a revolutionary idea that has the potential to act at par with national paper currency.
All it needs is circulation and trust by exchange points and the idea of sharing profits with network nodes is brilliant. If you have ICQ or Twitter we can chat anytime.
 
Keep up this magnificent work,

Thank you for your kind words.  That's the chicken and egg question, how to bootstrap usage.  I don't have ICQ or Twitter, but I'm happy to answer any questions you have by e-mail.

Did you keep a copy? I've been asking around, but apparently no one kept a copy of the original draft Satoshi put on upload.ae. It'd be a pity if the draft was lost to history.

Is this email address satoshin@gmx.com still a valid email address for Mr. Nakatomo? Has he ever replied to an emai sent to that address since 2008/2011?

If you send him a question about model trains, he might answer you!

But he will not answer anything BTC related, really, why do you think like that ?

I have a theory that if a Japanese person strikes a conversation with Dorian about model trains and gains his trust, Dorian may open-up - in confidentiality of course - about his involvement with the BTC project 2008-2011.

Just a kind word to new people on this forum: Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto is not the Satoshi Nakamoto. Most people that were into Bitcoin for a while never believed it was him.

Back then in 2008 he is not a legend yet. And at that time his inbox has not yet flooded with emails.  :)
