Bitcoin Forum

Welcome to the new Bitcoin forum!

The old forum can still be reached here:
http://bitcoin.sourceforge.net/boards/index.php

I'll repost some selected threads here and add updated answers to questions where I can.

Hello Satoshi, all forum members and Bitcoin users !

Thank you for developing Bitcoin. A P2P anonymous digital currency / eCurrency is long overdue. I'm very impressed and this project has great potential.

I've started running a Bitcoin node on a static IP - 24/7 to help support the project and of course earn some Bitcoins. My port 8333 is also correctly forwarded for maximum connectivity. 8)

I'm an IT enthusiast and Forex Trader with an interest in all types of currency exchange.

I'm a great user and supporter of Linux and Open Source software and I also run a Tor server. I look forward to contributing to this forum and the growing Bitcoin community.

Thank you.

BitcoinFX.

Welcome! Open source rocks.

Does anyone still have an archive of the old forum? It would be fun to look through.

That would be:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=bitcoin-list

No, that's the mailing list. There was a SourceForge forum.

I never saw the SF forum, but my impression is that there were very few posts there. (I'd love to see it, though.)

There's no Google Cache of it?  I think I tried looking as well, it might be lost to history.  This thread, welcoming users to the forum, is piece of history as well!

If you want to have some fun, take this url:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5

and just keep incrementing up the topic number. You will see a play through of old posts.

The next button at the bottom of the thread doesn't really do this.

Is this the first bitcointalk.org topic?
What happened with topic 1,2,3 and 4?



Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic.
 ;D

Probably were test topics that were deleted before launch.

/posting in satoshi thread  :D

1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum. 3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address).

Can I have screenshots for my Bitcoin history scrapbook? :)

Wait, what?!

Satoshi last post was exactly on my birthday :D

lol!

And photo I suppose

https://bitcointalk.org/first_topics/

This is awesome!


Quoting Satoshi  ;D

lol I just read this and thought, WTF!? Satoshi!??

then I realized.. ::)

Posting in epic thread.

Fake edit: We can all agree that Satoshi Nakamoto is not the Bitcoin creator's real name, yet so many brainiacs on this forum trust most aspects of Zhou Tong's you're-not-going-to-believe-this,-but... posts.

Also, I'm just going to park a couple three (maybe 4) links here: (Dr. Haruhisa Ichikawa)

Thank you Satoshi for the kind welcome. I'm glad I came here. I'm sorry to see you have gone. Thanks for leading this great project. You're a hero.

Subbing to the awesomeness.

Thanks, Satoshi!

Satoshi welcomes and guides us like Virgil into Hell. Then he left us to unravel the lies and mysteries of socio-political economics. Hopefully he's still around to see things take off.

He probably still helping the community secretly.

I wonder what was on the old bitcoin forum  :D

Why? So that He can tell us what we should do in these turbulent times instead of everyone figuring this out for themselves?

I thought Satoshi created a decentralized crypto-currency, not a religion... ;)

Is there a difference?

Sorry, your comment made me see the Light and I beg forgiveness for my previous post. May the Founder in His Kindness look mildly upon my serious transgressions.

Bitcoin is a religion!

I realize that now, and I again apologize for even questioning His authority. Just one question, to whom should I send the tithe? Satoshi? The Foundation?

mother of god

Exactly, to mother of god.

btw toastin' in a epic thread.

Send it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=70553.0

/cast [Rebirth]>deadthread

satoshi, YUNO say hello?

- Hero worship
- ranting and raving libertanarchists
- stalkers
- people sinking their lifesavings into an experimental proof of concept

Would YOU stay around?

Man, if that isn't your idea of a good time then I don't know what's wrong with you.  :P

Plenty  ;D

You forgot: CIA Hitlist


Yeah, I'm necroposting in an epic thread.... Feels good, too.

Got very excited and then noticed the date of opening post :\

come out to see God and gold

Thanks Satoshi! Where are you now?  ???

yes I'm lame ... but subscribing to epic satoshi thread anyway  8)

“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” ;)

Cheers

Why does it feel like I'm studying history when I go through satoshi's posts...  ::)

All newbies must start here  :D

Hope you are OK Satoshi..

Because it's the past. :)

Sticky this :D

Is it the first post of this forum?

Same! haha I thought he had resurfaced and then I was like wut o_O
That would be awesome!
I wonder where he is now?

the same here, for a moment I was so happy, a million question came into my head then I saw the datum "disappointment" , But I really would like to know who is Satoshi ? any early adopters had the chance to talk to him or meet him ?

it is really annoying me not knowing the hole truth about Bitcoin

You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!

try me ;)  in other thoughts i did this .


 ;D

Posting so I'm here as well. Welcome to the new new forum. Yes, I said new twice.

Zionist quote: We can tell you the truth but we will have to kill you.

Thank you Satoshi! Hope you can come back some day.

I was doing this in secret, but somebody on Reddit spilled the beans. Introducing the Satoshi Shrine.

Aloha Satoshi!

Well, it's topic number 5, but 1-4 are inaccessible for me. That might just be because they are "moderator only", though.

Staff forum. They are just test threads, and configuration type stuff.

I inserted topic subject into the quotes as the first line.

First thread is


Second

Third is inaccessible so it must have been deleted, though it may still exist in the earlier backups which several of us have. If I had to guess it was a just a test thread made to be deleted so that could be tested and logs verified.

Fourth is

Most of the replies are test replies, with some discussion about preventing spam at registration.

Just posting so I can say I posted in Satoshi's thread. :D

Since this is a historical thread I'm sending this message to Satoshi: Hello Satoshi - thank you for Bitcoin! It changed my life. This one is for my future self: Hello Disclaimer201, don't let Bitcoin define your entire life. I hope you are healthy and happy. Don't be a greedy bastard. To everyone: These are exciting times, so stay calm. Don't spend all your time in front of computer screens. Learn some French, buy some new curtains for the garage window, build a historical mining rig as if it were 2011. Go swimming. Never sell all of your coins.

Bitcoin will hit 1200 Next month!

Event Horizon. Doom 3 has a striking resemblance to that film.

624 USD Mark the price in this great thread . Let's be the witness  of the future .  

Welcome to the best forum on the planet !  :)

Is that the first post of Satoshi? Damn this is special.
I definitely need my footprint on here.  :P

I see you've used nothing but the finest reclaimed heritage barnwood :)

please receive a good wish from chinese! sorry for typing wrong name, satoshi.......heehee.......

Thank you, Satoshi!

Satoshi lives!

Satoshi!
What a coincidence!!!

That's also what I'm going to name my first child!    ;D

The old forum link is dead, can you please check it? I expect an answer in the next 24 hours, so please don't take too long to reply.

Isn't there a backup somewhere, or do you just want satoshi back?  I doubt he will appear again

Satoshi , my idol!

You are Satoshi? Satoshi Nakamoto? :o

"BittBurger was here"

Time capsule thread?  Hope so.  

Remember all the trash talkers (they're still alive and well at this date).  Remember those who said this would never amount to anything.  The erroneous ponzi scheme analogies.  Tulips.  Beanie Babies.  My friends and family making fun of me at every moment possible.  My financial adviser calling me crazy.  The "all-knowing" old school economists, stock guys, day traders, bankers, and pretty much anyone with any education in the obsolete financial realm saying "Bitcoin will fail".  Journalists writing confused, misinformed articles with comments sections below full of mysteriously enraged Bitcoin detractors.  Meanwhile those with eyes to see, as of December 2013 ... propagating this new technology around the world.  International conferences being held nearly every month. Investors ... entrepreneurs ... opportunists ... the greedy ... the intelligent ... the libertarians ... the crypto anarchists ... the cypher punks ... building the foundation for a paradigm shift that will change this world. Core groups of people meeting old school in public places to exchange, trade, and buy and sell.  A grass roots movement in its truest form.  

This is Bitcoin as of December 2013.  What will it be 10 years from now?  

Thank you Satoshi.

what Satoshi invented can not simply be canceled, they can argue that Bitcoin as a currency might fail! but the Block chain is that thing that wont fail, block chain is the greatest invention or innovation after internet , they can ignore it or laugh at it they can try to fight it but they can not uninvent it, Bitcoin is already changing the way how we think about technology, democracy, economic, and is a hell of experiment....

Thank you satoshi who ever you are I wish a good luck...   

Hi Satoshi :)

Yes, that Satoshi. Neat eh? :)

after some years...

World is thinking who is S.

Γεια σoυ ρε μεγάλε Satoshi!!!  (in Greek Hello Big Satoshi !)


Great reply :P

and yes Bitcoin could be a religion for many!
in Bitoin we Trust!

HI MOM!

Thank you, Satoshi!

Maybe chetalk overlooked the thread creation date  ;)

Imagine when someone bumps it in 50 years? It'll trigger a flashcrash.

Hi Satoshi, thank you for inventing Bitcoin.

Meanig Jan 2014  8)

I didn't know this thread actually existed ^^
thought it was some kind of myth maybe ;D

This thread is epic.

Just dropping in here to pay my respects...

Thank you Satoshi Nakamoko!

I your memory of Satoshi we are naming the craft that takes the bitcoin flag to space after you.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=441303.80

Thank you, oh great Satoshi!

Signs of the community decay when scammers give tribute to Satoshi...

Satoshi, fancy finding the stolen Gox coins?

I just posted on this thread!
I just posted!!!!

and now we know he was working on classified projects with the NSA....

Hello future self 8)

Thanks bro! take care!

Thanks Satoshi for bringing us gold rush that everyone can take part of! :)

I'm also posting in historical thread as I started to explore and use Bitcoin. Just wondering, why very first source code of bitcoin is not available anywhere? The very first linux kernel is, for example...

That's strange, I never saw this post before. It brings back nostalgia to go back to 2009, a few years before I got into Bitcoin. Too bad the old Bitcoin forum isn't available anymore. We should probably make a archive.

This stuff is too legit right now. I am feeling the vapor and thank you Satoshi for the amazing work. I DO DECLARE!!!!!!!

Wow got my hopes up when I saw this :(

I guess I'll at least make history and post in a topic by the legendary Satoshi Nakamoto.

whether it is the inventor of bitcoin satoshi I often hear ?? curious to see his face. :D

Hello Bitcoiners from the year 2140.

That's a good idea

For a moment I thought there is news on a new forum version

Wow this is a thread from "Back to the future"  ;D

It feels like walking in the steps of dinosaurs, not saying Satoshi was a dinosaur, most likely he is a alien.  ;D

Just great to be part of this great journey. Thanks Satoshi whoever you are. 

just making my footprint here as well , good to be part of such a huge historical event :)

Oh gawd, now this thread will be spammed to death. Can we have this thread locked and all posts on this page deleted? I'd rather have this thread preserved as a historical relic than see it get tainted with a bunch of new guys putting their gum on the wall.

I want to be in this thread too.

*adds gum to the wall*

Hello Bitcoiner from 2014. I just came back here in time travel just to let u know that your post is not going to be seen in 2140 because this forum does not exist there. You guys have already started working to end this forum => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=167.0

Me too.

If you want to see the old forum, you still can here: http://web.archive.org/web/20140420203040/http://bitcoin.sourceforge.net/boards/index.php
Actually, there's a 404 error for all of the captures.

I was browsing through the old threads Satoshi posted in a while ago, kinda surprised they haven't been spammed up to death and locked already.

Resisted (honest!) but I just gotta leave a post in this thread.
There. Done.
Now I can relax. :)

It's pretty mind blowing how far BTC has come since the start of this thread.  Just think of how massive it has grown in a couple years from being so small to becoming a multi billion dollar industry... and that is just the beginning of things to come...

wow, i quoted satoshi   ;D

And now I am adding my gum to the wall. To the people here in 2140, just wanted to say hello from a potential first generation Martian.

*adding my cum to the wall*

Hello Satoshi,

The year is 2014 August 10th forum time. Your creation Bitcoin has grown immencely since it's inception with it now having a market cap of about $ 7.7 billion with it reaching it's highest point of about a $ 15 billion  market cap in November 2013. Bitcoin has done many wonderful things like give people more control of their finances and also making their finances easier to access.

To all you in the future reading about this in your books/holograms/brain images whatever you're using in the future this is where it started.

With two great minds.

There is a story in a book called the bible about a man named Jesus Christ. Jesus was allegedely a very peaceful man that brought change against corruption and fought evil similar to Satoshi. However Jesus fell to the evil of others but sacrificed himself so the rest of us wouldn't have to suffer, so the story gos.

A long time later it is said Jesus will return but this time he won't be so peace bringing but more firm and will bring justice. That is me here and now Cryptopaths the CryptoKnight. I admit I am not the hero crypto deserves but I am the one it needs right now to all you in the future I tell you this do not lose your path fighting against corruption and evil. The banks were evil in the era of Satoshi and Cryptopaths and they were evil far before but the question I ask is will this evil transcend into the future or will we have the strength and perseverance to stop it? I hope to see a day were the universe is rid of this evil and people can have control of there own lives and not be controlled by banking families which are a far cry themselves from the ingenious ones that started the con in the first place.

We all must fight against both good and evil in our lives but this is something you yourself must decide. Is it really true you either die a hero or fight long enough to see yourself become the villain? I guess I will find out soon enough and I feel that day is fast approaching.

I leave you all with this

time, time is the key.

dude. he is not dead! i'm sure he knows.

And on his private island, Satoshi raises his glass to the eternal sky and allows himself a slight smile...

https://media.expedia.com//hotels/1000000/30000/28500/28481/28481_85_b.jpg

not a problem, it have do a great and visionnary job.
that a rich people that it merit to win ... something.

wow i missed this, didn't know he created the forum as well

Satoshi is the real legend. I put his name on my Beşiktaş jersey. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=440300)

:)
What is next?
Bitcoin bank, loans, turist agency etc.

I almost had a heart attack then I checked the date of the post, some of you guys do really have the time to find such an old thread and revive them.

But anyway I'll use this opportunity to ask, what happened to the new forums anyway that was in work?

Dear future people of 2140 - this is what most people on the internet were like 100 years ago.   Cool isnt it?

PS:  Hopefully Im still around.  Going to try that Cryonics thing...

-B-

The world don't need a lot of Bitcoin forums

Thank you Satoshi for all the time and effort that you invested in creating Bitcoin. I hope that one day it can truly free us from insidious government intrusion and control.

BJ

STAHP

Thank you for giving new bitcoin forum. :) :)

Thank you satoshi for our bright future! We never will forget you!

dam why did satoshi have to leave the community so early

Last Active:    December 13, 2010, 04:45:41 PM

I'm pretty sure satoshi is someone within MTGOX.

I'm pretty sure you are wrong.

What is it that makes you so sure? Satoshi is surely smarter than that

Within MTgox !!! like Mark...who else could it be within gox ?


well it is possible....

Not.

Interesting first-hand account here: http://www.ipad9.com/?p=8871 (http://www.ipad9.com/?p=8871)

At the end of this documentary The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin (2014) it is hinted that Mark Karpelès knows who is behind the Satoshi account.

interviewer: "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?"
--- Karpelès: "Hahaha... I... rather not tell you, but yea."
interviewer: "Oh, you know?"
--- Karpelès: "Maybe not, maybe," smiles and nods.

For sure it will all shutdown like everybody else. Ive researched for btc forums but btctalk is the most active of them all.

Maybe he could log back in and tell us what he thinks of the latest
FinCen/SEC shitstorm going on?

Satoshi, we need your guidance on this one.

Yeah , we need him badly , come on Satochi  :'(
Anyway , I'am pretty sure he is here somewhere , just connecting with another account so .. yeah we will never know

I love this community! Nice work satoshi!

He said he abandoned Bitcoin because now he's workin' on another project... Someone can guess what's this project?
It may be another masterpiece like Bitcoin  ;)

Hello satoshi-sensei ;D I'm here just want to say thank you, you make a technology that can/will change the world.(whether I was overreacting? lol)


What's that? Time Machine? :o


Yeah maybe now he's read this thread, who knows.

I love you Nick! :D

I'm sure he still comes to read this thread, either as a guest or a different secret account.

epic thread is epic


satoshi== Obama

If there's one person who doesn't know who satoshi is it would be Karpeles. I hate that guy, he's just trolling.

I did read somewhere in the forum that Satoshi's id has been blocked/ frozen.
I think it was disclosed when Satoshi's email id was hacked.

Damn, almost choked on my coke sip when I saw a new thread by satoshi, except it aint new :(

BTC finds itself at a crossroad. As signs of mainstream consciousness of bitcoin increase, there seems to be a movement to marginalise libertarians and other more "extreme" beliefs in favour of a toned down more business like approach. It feels like everyone is starting to dress on their sunday best and focus completely on how it is cheaper, more private etc. I have no opinion on it except to think that some balance is needed.

Theres a subtle evolution going on, which you are probably well too aware, between those who want more anonymity and those who wish to appease, between those who are willing to give up even the most core characteristic of bitcoin (decentralisation), either through encouraging mining centralisation or in other ways, for more features or to make it more user friendly and between those who view that line as uncrossable. On the one had we have many "trolls" who kindly take to the community by addressing it as a cult, or delusional, or batshit crazy, and on the other there are many who work on the premise that if you build it they will come.

The fate of bitcoin is decided everyday, but it does feel like bitcoin stands at a crossroad of four paths. The one many hope for is very light regulation, maintenance of decentralisation while making it much more user friendly. It may well be the case that a second path of heavy regulation is more likely together with perhaps some centralisation. If we are unlucky, the libertarian bent is completely erased and heavy centralisation is allowed, albeit covertly. Worst of all, as price has continued to go down for a year now, the will of everyone is being tested. It does not help that, unfortunately, almost six years on, many bitcoin companies are still run by amateurs who fail to take basic precautions with their security.  A fourth path might be taken therefore whereby the price continues downwards followed by a gradual loss of interest to oblivion.

Which road will she take? Tunein in 2020 to find out more.

pm me please Satoshi  8)

thx for inventing BTC  ;)

Thank you, satoshi.....whomever you may be.

good read, i think satoshi is ex NSA cryptologist

Slaveforanunnak1, you have the Satoshi pic in your profile...   :)
