Well Mcafee claims to know the real Satoshi Nakamato and he thinks revelling his identity will be a book to the cryptocurrency society, he thinks all the jokes who roams around claiming to be nakamato is essentially a sheer waste of public indulgence in their antiques.

He was threatening nakamato if he didn't came out then he will narrow him down and then revel his identity to the whole world.

What do you guys think ?
Is this good or bad ?
Is he doing the right thing ?

Why isn't his right to be anonymous respected here ?
He made something which essentially makes everyone , every transaction hidden and maybe there is a reason, maybe he wants to peacefully spend his days, instead to be in the limelight every now and then.

Isn't the decision his ? Not someone else's ? I am a little disappointed this shouldn't happen, maybe he wants to be mystery forever . But it's his decision.

Just ignore McAfee, usually he really loves publicity. He will just become a laughing if he cannot fully support his revelation. His not far from Craig Wright for claiming that he is satoshi, of course any famous technology personality or crypto influencer wants to claim the name "Satoshi  Nakamoto" for their own sake. People should just respect Satoshi's want to be anonymous. There's no real purpose for exposing such mystery but solely for fame.

The real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has been a hot topic ever since bitcoin became familiar. A lot had already claimed they were Satoshi but no one ever proved it.

I am also interested in knowing who the real Satoshi Nakamoto is.

If Mcafee can shed a light on who he is, then I am happy to hear it. But of course, we must consider this as just a publicity stunt and I doubt he really knows anything. We should scrutinize every information he will reveal.

The funny note in the crypto scene for sure.
The whole world is searching and he knows who it is... sure

There is a tracker for his 1mil coin value prediction at the end of 2020 hes just a bit off for now https://bircoin.top

McAfee could have a personal selfish reason for demanding Satoshi Nakamoto to reveal his true identity. I wonder if it hurts him too much if Nakamoto remains a mystery or he just want a credit to be known for exposing him or as a main factor for revealing Nakamoto. Benefits for doing it will just be in himself. Wanting to be a hero for breaking an ice. Well, it will not make sense because his threat is empty. If he doesn’t come out he will reveal him and if what he reveals is proven false then he will just be funny, desiring a slice of a cake from the whole pie. 

Just another publicity stunt by Mcafee. A lot of people claims that they know Satoshi but never really come out with the evidence. Satoshi wouldn't like to be known even with his colleagues in this forum or way back in sourceforge.net.

I am sure that this will eventually turn out to be just another joke coming from the famous John McAfee since he has not been in the news lately. Whoever can this man be, I am sure that it would not matter much whether we know the real Nakamoto is. Considering that he did not show up years ago, there is no guarantee that he will do it now. What is good here is that John never claimed to be the real Satoshi...and that can be the biggest joke he delivered to the world of cryptocurrency.

This is another publicity pop up by Mcafee, I have never believed santoshi to be a person and even if he is his choice to remain anonymous most be respected as an individual, and in my view Santoshi is an acronym and we all are santoshi the whole of bitcoin community and lover we make up the acronym santoshi.

With the current findings there are no exact traces of satoshi in the real world apart from the Californian IP which was used by satoshi in the client and revealed from the debug.log file. The IP doesn't seem to be like a exit node so probably satoshi should have been in California at the time when Hal interacted with them. Possibly he could have even hid that with a VPN or some other network. With theymos inputs it is clear that satoshi used TOR to connect with the forum, hence that is even a waste of time.

McAfee is a renowned famous programmer and an entrepreneur but he is just ruining himself with his baseless stupid claims by immersing himself more into the crypto world. I do agree bitcoin is such a great innovation, but his stupid $1 million claim within 2020 is absolutely shit. His claims along with CSW are getting more and more nonsensical these days with just no real discovery made through till today.

If satoshi is willing to reveal himself, he should sign a message from any one of his addresses. That's the only possible way to prove his credibility. But doing so would create havoc in the society with the price tanking to such an extent with people fear of selling their btc.

It is certainly bad for the crypto community to see satoshi come to life. We are used to the fact that we are not governed by anyone and along with that we are decentralized with no leader to govern us. If satoshi returns back or gets exposed, the fear would rise among with people and it destroys the mere purpose of btc itself being decentralized. The power of changing things will get back to satoshi and the community would become centralized.

I don't think it's necessary to think too much, just ignore Mcafee
it won't have much effect I guess, if satoshi is revealed maybe it will only make bitcoin jump a little

Satoshi Nakamoto and its identity has turned into a hot topic of these days and a lot of scammers are trying to use this situation to do their attention seeking. the worst part is that the media (these shitty clickbait news sites) loves hot topics like this that gets a lot of clicks to their sites, so they keep covering it and the more they do it, the more scammers are going to come out with regards to this news!

I am not agree on what he wants to do. Every one of us needs a privacy. It's our rights. No one can break even the government or even centralization. I think Mcafee is one of them who wants some publicity so he was act like that. Satoshi or every each of us have a rights to remain private as long as we want. And I know like more of us Satoshi are thinking his security,the reason why he wants to hide his real identity.

What is the reason Mcafee wants Satoshi to declare his existence? What are Mcafee's plans after he declares his identity?
Will Mcafee recruit Satoshi to their company or will defeat Satoshi by releasing their Crypto?

No..let them / him / her remain a mystery.

Mcafee is CSW-esque in this claim and appears to yearn to be involved in this Bitcoin / Crypto head space.

He is casting more doubt on his own credibility.

I like to think anyone here, could be Satoshi.

UA

Ignore McAfee, he is full of lies, just wants attention, or increase his number of followers/likes in social media for some reason. He has no idea who Satoshi is, no one does, and Satoshi himself wrote in this very forum where no one else knows.

Which is McAfee's user account in this forum made by Satoshi? He wasn't even here, how could he even claim to know when there is people here who actually talked with Satoshi and still don't know who he/she/they are.

Satoshi's identity will remain a mystery forever.

Nothing. We all know that John McAfee just wanted some attention.


It doesn't have an effect because we all know that no one around really knows who Satoshi is. If I'm in your place, just ignore the guys and don't give him that special care, he is full of shit. He even didn't involved himself in crypto earlier, he just pops up with the market is really making a huge jump with or without him. So I doubt he really knows a thing or two about Satoshi.

Mcafee is so full of shit & self importance. He has literally no effect on bitcoin & can’t have an effect on it. He just likes the sound of his own voice & loves attention.

Ignore him.

He's one huge crazy man. Perhaps McAfee is up to something that's why he's making some noise again in the community.

Did McAfee do something right? Well, judging him from all of his deeds I can easily across in a conclusion, he's a certified shiller.
Otherwise, don't bother thinking about this guy nor Nakamoto's identity as it will be remain anonymous no matter what gimmicks they do.

This topic has been debated for ages and it probably will never stop unless Satoshi actually reveals himself/herself to the public. Craig Wright and McAfee are simply attracting negative attention towards themselves by talking about Satoshi at present.

I wonder what could their hidden motives be behind such messed up decisions?

This topic I always see in the internet who is really creator of the bitcoin we know his/her nickname is Satoshi Nakamoto but we do not know his/her real Identity like if it male or femal and the age and also the true name of Satoshi Nakomoto and his real face is still mystery for us and many people claim that they Satoshi even they not.

Read a thread recently about Satoshi Nakomoto being a group of people, at least that's what John McAfee (founder of McAfee antivirus software) was saying on Twitter and someone posted that here. Well, he says that he knows who these individuals behind the creation of Bitcoin (calling themselves Satoshi NAkamoto) are... guess we'll have to just wait and see.

I don't think many people know who Satoshi really is, the amount is probably less than 5 if I had to guess. I hope Satoshi returns someday and thanks everyone that bought bitcoin but he will probably remain private for the rest of his life.

I don't need a thread to understand that Satoshi could be an individual male or female, or a group of people who worked on the development of Bitcoin. Common sense it is called.

McAfee as always is looking for attention, and unfortunately, news outlets and everyone on social media is easily triggered by whatever it is that he is doing. They keep saying how pathetic he is, yet continue to waste time on him.

McAfee is desperately trying to up himself as brand to be an interesting enough billboard for ICOs and straight ponzi schemes to pay him big money for his promotion on Twitter during the next bull wave.

I won't believe any word McAfee says because he simply speaks lie all the time. He keeps making random predictions which is by far from what actually happens.
If you do a little research and find out his previous predictions then you will yourself stop believing in him. Besides that Satoshi was not afraid of anyone which is why he created bitcoin in the first place.
Why do you think he would reveal his identity now just because McAfee said so. If Satoshi wanted to reveal his identity then he would have done that already.

McAfee is just a Cryptocurrency comic star seeking for more and more attention. Even if he knows Satoshi which of course he doesn't, what project has Sir John McAfee successfully built in this community? I respect his scientific contribution in the information world, but he shilled coins back in the days and got a lot of traders fingers burnt. John should be civic or I assume all these roaring is nothing but a stag managed act.

McAfee is an exemplary loudmouth. His claim of knowing who Satoshi is should be overlooked. He's just seeking another round of attention from those who think he's relevant.

However, I don't think anyone will believe even the real Satoshi Nakamoto now if he comes out to make his identity public. The crypto world is already passed that worry now. I should believe no one truly needs that Satoshi distraction at the moment and Craig Wright who is making that claim is getting heavy bashing from the community.

McAfee and Craig's Wright are actually taking advantage of our community since we are so much interested in knowing who Satoshi Nakamoto really is. The reason why I am telling this is that their approach was so much effective that they lured as out and got our attention and look at them now, the subject of our discussion.

If we were given a chance to see them today, we can see how much they are satisfied with what their deeds came out. They would even be laughing and looking at us as their victims and people who were fooled by their trap. It is really obvious that they are doing this strategy to accumulate popularity for their own goods. And they really won.

Don't fall for this. If satoshi identity want to be revealed, it should not come from a joker like McAfee. Top security force in country like USA has been on satoshi case for many years now and they couldn't revealed the through identity of satoshi. They do not even know may be its someone or a group of individual name. So do.not anybody deceive you. McAfee is a very funny man so just ignore him and continue your hustle. Good luck

He's right about those people who are claiming that they are satoshi, yes those people are just wasting his time. But satoshi has the right to remain silent and keep his identity. If he's there, he has the right to not to show himself to the public.

He's proving what anonymity really means and for being a creator of a P2P open source money, he would love to hide himself. John McAfee can do whatever he wanted but he should respect satoshi.

Johns not a stupid cookie, this guy started one of the most advanced antivirus companies in the world.  If anyone can crack Satoshi's identity it is him.  This guy is a genius even though he acts a little crazy at times.

I also think that McAfee don't know who is Satoshi Nakamoto and this is just made to have more publicity because he like to, and his prediction about crypto price failed.

Just one word...Bullshit!

CIA and Co are more interested than all of us to know who Satoshi is...and they failed.
McAfee is a weird guy while Craig is acting like a baby who wanna be a hero controlling everything and attracting the attention of everybody..

If you ever believe what he said after his shady and sketchy past, then you've failed your lessons. McAfee alongside with CSW is probably the same kind of guy who loves to spread his beliefs without solid & proper evidence. Anyway, McAfee is fine with supporting lots of shady ICOs which is now trading 0.01x or so from the ICO price like Bobs Repair or KWH.

If you still believe him, then you must be prepared for losing lots of your funds.

it is bad because of what people are doing not what McAfee or any other person like him are doing. what they do is bad but it is in their abusive nature and it is expected of scumbags like them. so you can't expect much. but what people are doing these days by giving them the undeserved attention, they are making them bolder to continue their scam. specially when news sites keep publishing crap about them just because they also are desperate for traffic to their site!

Because the majority of people of course don't care about others, that's the reason. And sincerely I really don't understand all this curiosity about the real identity of Satoshi, if and when he decides to reveal itself it's his own decision.

By the way we're talking about nothing, McAfee barely knows his own name, does anybody really think he knows Satoshi?  ::)

There were already many such empty statements that lead nowhere. John McAfee first do and then speak. He simply attracts attention because he earns it, and no more. Even if it were true, how can you force a person to say that he previously used the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto if he does not want to do this? He will say that he did not. He did not commit any crimes so that the state bodies could deal with them. Therefore, from the side of McAfee it is simply indecent to pry into foreign affairs.

If he really can expose who the real Satoshi Nakamoto is, it will have a serious repercussions and could endanger the life of Satoshi and his family, he will be targetted by media, authorities and even competitors, of course he will become an instant celebrity, but that would disrupts his life, hopefully Mcafee is just joking just like what he says that he will eat his dick if Bitcoin will not reach 1 million dollar

Why we need another thread for Satoshi revelation? Isn't it we already know that the identify of the person/s is already a closed book as we really don't have any idea as to who he/she/they are? And seriously, John McAfee? We all know that he is just making noise because that's what he is good at. So I guess there's no effect in the ecosystem as majority knows that John most of the time doesn't have any idea what he is talking about, he just opens his big mouth and tell lies in front of us, no credibility whatsoever.

I don't think that it is a good idea or a bad idea because I am not sure that McAfee will really know who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto. If McAfee doesn't have any other purposes then maybe it will help the bitcoin community to know who is the real Satoshi. But let's wait at that time, and if McAfee really knows that person that we will see it later.

After how many years of Satoshi Nakomoto had been anonymous and his identity not known, suddenly McAfee claims to know this anonymous person and want to reveal him or could be her ;D

what is the need for his intentions? is there something unsolvable in the blockchain system that they require the presence of satoshi for? or this is another cheap method of gaining more attention, it seems the spotlight have been gradually shifting away from Mr McAfee so he needs to rekindle it ::)

Nakomoto decided to stay anonymous because of security purpose, and that does not hinder the growth and development of btc as far as the eyes can see, i think it's best to let sleeping dogs lie.

There is a war going on with many big faces in Crypto and Craig Wright has started off another big tirade against the Crypto- Bitcoin world in general, so maybe McAfee is trying to end this by wanting to Reveal Satoshi Nakamoto's identity in order to put all this to rest. I can't really put my finger on any other intentions and I doubt that he is doing it purely for sensationalism and fame, as that doesn't make much sense. Then again what does in Crypto?  :D I would prefer it for Satoshi Nakamoto to remain hidden, purely for his own safety at this point in time.

in my opinion it is a non-fundamental threat, the question is, if satoshi nakamoto shows up and what is his relationship with McAfee, obviously Satoshi is the inventor of blokchain and he is completely anonymous, I hope satoshi will remain in hiding, if there will be many people or groups will hunt him
