Title: Satoshi..., Brilliant !!! Post by: VB1001 on July 31, 2019, 05:37:38 PM I will not speak here about the origin of @satoshi, although it is not known who it is, it is a topic that has been talked about a lot, I will cite his anecdotes and witty phrases, if you have shared any when satoshi was active in the forum, share it, please.
- Nov/06/2008 Quote Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years. https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/4/#selection-43.0-43.106 (https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/4/#selection-43.0-43.106) - Nov/08/2008 Quote As computers get faster and the total computing power applied to creating bitcoins increases, the difficulty increases proportionally to keep the total new production constant. Thus, it is known in advance how many new bitcoins will be created every year in the future. https://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg09979.html (https://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg09979.html) - Nov/14/2008 Quote It's very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly. I'm better with code than with words though. https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/12/#selection-89.0-89.126 (https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/12/#selection-89.0-89.126) - Jan/03/2009 Most shocking was the one included in the genesis block: Quote The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks. https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b?show_adv=true (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b?show_adv=true) - Jan/11/2009 Quote It's time we had the same thing for money. With e-currency based on cryptographic proof, without the need to trust a third party middleman, money can be secure and transactions effortless. http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source (http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source) - Feb/11/2009 Quote The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source (http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source) - Feb/15/2009 Quote Could be. They're talking about the old Chaumian central mint stuff, but maybe only because that was the only thing available. Maybe they would be interested in going in a new direction. A lot of people automatically dismiss e-currency as a lost cause because of all the companies that failed since the 1990's. I hope it's obvious it was only the centrally controlled nature of those systems that doomed them. I think this is the first time we're trying a decentralized, non-trust-based system. http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source?commentId=2003008%3AComment%3A9493 (http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source?commentId=2003008%3AComment%3A9493) - Feb/14/2010 Quote Right. Otherwise we couldn't have a finite limit of 21 million coins, because there would always need to be some minimum reward for generating. In a few decades when the reward gets too small, the transaction fee will become the main compensation for nodes. I'm sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48.msg329#msg329 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48.msg329#msg329) - May/16/2010 Quote When you generate a new bitcoin address, it only takes disk space on your own computer (like 500 bytes). It's like generating a new PGP private key, but less CPU intensive because it's ECC. The address space is effectively unlimited. It doesn't hurt anyone, so generate all you want. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=130.msg1130#msg1130 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=130.msg1130#msg1130) - Jun/21/2010 Quote Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198.msg1647#msg1647 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198.msg1647#msg1647) - Jul/05/2010 Quote Sorry to be a wet blanket. Writing a description for this thing for general audiences is bloody hard. There's nothing to relate it to. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=234.msg1976#msg1976 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=234.msg1976#msg1976)- Jul/09/2010 Quote When someone tries to buy all the world's supply of a scarce asset, the more they buy the higher the price goes. At some point, it gets too expensive for them to buy any more. It's great for the people who owned it beforehand because they get to sell it to the corner at crazy high prices. As the price keeps going up and up, some people keep holding out for yet higher prices and refuse to sell. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=242.msg2078#msg2078 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=242.msg2078#msg2078) - Jul/29/2010 This phrase has become so famous that it has been included in merchandising items. Quote If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=532.msg6306#msg6306 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=532.msg6306#msg6306) - Aug/04/2010 Quote Bitcoin isn't currently practical for very small micropayments. Not for things like pay per search or per page view without an aggregating mechanism, not things needing to pay less than 0.01. The dust spam limit is a first try at intentionally trying to prevent overly small micropayments like that. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=287.msg7524#msg7524 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=287.msg7524#msg7524) - Sep/19/2010 Quote I keep a list of all unresolved bugs I've seen on the forum. In some cases, I'm still thinking about the best design for the fix. This isn't the kind of software where we can leave so many unresolved bugs that we need a tracker for them. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1063.msg13211#msg13211 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1063.msg13211#msg13211) - Dec/12/2010 The latter is devastating. Quote It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2216.msg29280#msg29280 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2216.msg29280#msg29280) In addition to having a privileged mind, his responses were very ingenious.

Thanks for compiling these citations from "the boss". This one is probably the most important one. Satoshi scared for his life! - Dec/12/2010 The latter is devastating.

Post by: VB1001 on August 03, 2019, 08:00:31 AM Sometimes I think about how Satoshi Nakamoto would be in real life.
My opinion is that if Satoshi Nakamoto is 1 person (not a group of people) besides being very intelligent, I imagine him as a slightly introverted cultured person with a very high dose of humility. If you were lucky enough to share, contrast, participate in a debate with him or have some kind of personal or direct information between the dates 2008/2010, I would like to know your opinion about it. Thx in advanced. Title: Re: Satoshi..., Brilliant !!! Post by: VB1001 on August 07, 2019, 04:55:14 PM Truly inspiring. Thanks for compiling these citations from "the boss".

Amazing find. My take about this. Satoshi was working for a company that was a contractor for the US army. He had a security clearance and was not allowed to do Bitcoin because I think that he was using some of his knowledge in coding that was covered by his security contracts. He was probably at risk to be prosecuted by both his employer and maybe at to some level by the Pentagon. Or maybe killed, who knows. In his last interview (Bitcoin Conference 2019) Durian Satoshi Sakamoto, the man I think who is the original Satoshi talk to some Japanese radio. He said always the same thing, that he has contract and cannot talk about his activities, but as the talk goes on he was talking about encrypted communication and guided missile technical support. Clearly, to this days, Satoshi cannot say who he is without getting into some sort of trouble, enough for him to hide totally. Now it is not impossible that Satoshi changed his name and then was still active with another name. It is hard to think that this guy just abandoned his creation. It would be then interesting to find out what is this another name. Title: Re: Satoshi..., Brilliant !!! Post by: TimeBits on August 09, 2019, 09:59:29 AM Truly inspiring.

"I don't know if he fears for his life, but he didn't like the idea of Wiki." He should know there is nothing to fear, they are the ones that fear, not us. They will kill me, not you, I don`t even fear hiding behind a vpn or tor like you. My balls in plain sight. I got big balls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkdVh8seFR8 |
