Bitcoin Forum

Theymos, could you confirm if Satoshi's bitcointalk forum account's email address is/was always the gmx address from the Bitcoin white paper ?

I'm trying to determine if historical forum PM's I sent to Satoshi might of also been available to the said 'hackers' of the gmx address.

I recently posed a question to Satoshi and I've realized that the 'NOUR' post may actually be the correct answer.

Obviously this is a very vague response and is potentially totally unrelated to what I asked openly in the forum.

...

EDIT 1:

'Research' thread. Q. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4575874.msg41287962#msg41287962

To clarify: I'm trying to piece together an order of events. I can appreciate that a lot of this probably seems quite random, if not completely bonkers!

EDIT 2: the answer ...

"You are a prisoner in a room with 2 doors and 2 guards. One of the doors will guide you to freedom and behind the other is a hangman -- you don't know which is which.

One of the guards always tells the truth and the other always lies. You don't know which one is the truth-teller or the liar either.

You have to choose and open one of these doors, but you can only ask a single question to one of the guards.

What do you ask so you can pick the door to freedom?"

OP is a 2010 registered account, wow. I’m interested  :P

Email changes weren't always logged, and I wasn't always a forum admin, so I don't know that.

The OP has register day sooner than theymos' register day. I am very impressed.

OP's register day

theymos' register day

Could you please give us some enlightenment related to this matter? This newbs want to learn.
Please..

Satoshi has an account on the P2PFoundation http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profile/SatoshiNakamoto

The story is that after a long inactivity period the account wake up and posted a message to say "Nour"
People started to think the account has been hacked since his Gmx email was compromised. Some others started to think Satoshi is back and "Nour" means in the Arabic language "Light" then they said it is referring to the Lightning Network

Thank you, I have never known it.

It's hard to believe that Satoshi come back to work with crypto, in particular bitcoin after years gone away.

It's normal to see Lightning Network activated on Bitcoin network later, so I think that the message "Nour" won't make a lot of sense.

OP also has the distinction of writing the first reply on Satoshi's famous Welcome thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.msg188#msg188).

He also ran a "bitcoin bank" service (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34.msg227#msg227) in the very early days -- probably the first of its kind.

As the 30th account ever created, he is one of the oldest accounts still active on the forum.


Do you mind if we ask what the question was?

I dismiss this interpretation, and if it is true it is a joke.
The Arabic translation of "lightning network" is "شبكة البرق" where the word "شبكة" means "Network" and the word "البرق" means "Lightning."
"Nour" is the voice pronunciation of the Arabic word "نور" which means "Light."
In other words, if Satoshi speaks Arabic and wants to refer to the lightning network, he will use "برق" or "Bariq."

Satoshi's P2PFoundation account was compromized a long time ago. CSW used the "Nour" post as "evidence" that he is Satoshi by posting a few Arabic tweets. The "Nour" post means nothing.

All of the above.

If Satoshi speaks Arabic and wants to refer to the lightning network using the word "Nour", why to write it in Latin letters? The word "Nour" should be prononciated in French way so we can translate it to "Light". When to prononciate it in English, it sound like the word "Four" (fôr) or the word "Tour" (to͝or), which have no matches with any arabic word.

OK. Indeed.

Does SMF / forum > MY MESSAGES > Notifications and Email > notifications 'automatically' get forwarded to registered account email addresses, by 'default' ?

Trying to keep this 'Meta'. This is helpful. Thanks anyway.  :)

Satoshi is long gone. Satoshi was always disappearing ...

I hope you aren't talking about CSW? He's a scammer and fraud, don't believe anything he says. It's all designed to be vague nonsense, he's probably going to try and scam you out of BTC or trick you into lending credibility to his claims, beware!

OG's like you have a tendency to be stuck in the past, and have a bit of a fascination with Satoshi. It makes sense since you interacted with someone who is now almost a God in the Crypto world, so you might be inclined to fall for people like CSW (as Gavin did) as they bring back some nostalgia feeling and connection to the past. Watch out.

As far as I know Andresen never switched his stance on CSW; that's a shame. Perhaps what's worse is neither did CSW.

Not exactly Satoshi's style. Though at times he may have been a touch frenetic on the forum, he was always very civil, non-judgmental, and polite. Kind of the opposite of Wright.

This is really cute! Thanks Cøbra and everyone for your concern, really ...

What do you guys take me for? I'm well aware of CSW's antics.

I've been here a while after all. I'm also maligned by my own history with Bitcoin.

Whilst I spent my coins to contribute to making this all work, others were to become rich where my circumstances did not allow.

I have come to terms with this over the years. What you perhaps need to realize is exactly ... who is watching the watchers?

You guys want to see my evidence wall? 99% certain Gavin did not fall for anything - he was expecting to do this.

I have nothing to lose.

Oh, and Cøbra the next time CSW is hating on the 'crypto-anarchists' on twitter ... perhaps remind him of this one ...

Cheers!

EDIT: I apologies for my tone here. I do actually appreciate your sentiments.

The correct answer I sought, is the wrong answer. This increases the likely hood of what I wanted to know.

Peace.

Indeed. Always very civil, non-judgmental, and polite in PM's and text chats.

I've covered the question in the OP.

TBH 'The first Bitcoin (BTC) transaction received to an IP address ?' may well be my greatest claim to 'fame' ...
