Final Hunt for the Real Satoshi Nakamoto - Hoffman Investigation

Hoffman Investigation is underway to reveal the genuine inventor of Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto.

The Hoffman Investigation will end the decade old mystery of Bitcoin invention. Accuracy is 100% authentic. There will be no one out there to challenge the Hoffman Investigation. All the fake impersonator of the real Satoshi Nakamoto will fade away from the Bitcoin Space. I have met the real Satoshi Nakamoto in late 2015, after full two years of searching for the genuine inventor of Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. No, he is not anyone out there in the Bitcoin community. But he is out there visible but unseen. I have been granted permission by the real Satoshi Nakamoto to reveal his true identity in the news media as it is now necessary.

Bitcoin Community members are welcome to discuss and debate, why should I reveal the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto?  Or why shouldn't I  reveal the genuine identity of the Bitcoin inventor?

Qualified participants will be invited to meet Satoshi Nakamoto. Guarantee 100%.

many people claim to meet or even claim to be satoshi nakamoto, but in reality all of that is a lie, Do you have strong evidence that that person is Satoshi Nakamoto, what are the requirements you asked to be able to meet with satoshi nakamoto,?

really? you ask why should you reveal the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto? what is your investigation for? but first sign message.

if you can't provide that sign message from him then he can be added to the list of satoshi nakamotos.  the promising one is almost a real cowboy jorg molt!
you'll like him. it would be fun to see more of them together in a blockchain conference.

Another unknown person showing up claiming that they met Satoshi. Let's see where this one is going to end up. This seems like a low effort troll that won't get far but I want my place in the first page just in case. ;D

before revealing the unknown identity..
prove it by showing a signed message

in essence show how you found him and how you prove it was him, before revealing him

if you can't or wont. them you are no better than others who just want 15 minutes of fame

Please read my thread with careful attention to understand properly,  what I am publishing ?
Final Hunt for the Real Satoshi Nakamoto mean it is really Final Hunt. There will be no one out there to challenge my investigation. I have done my best and completed my search. I will be ready soon to publish all the data and breaking the news. But before that, Mr Nakamoto suggested me tow carry out a survey. This is why I have published this thread to discuss and debate, if whether revealing his true identity is good for the future of Bitcoin.  

If you can't sing a transaction then your effort will be for nothing. Anyone can talk and say they know who is the real satoshi but without a sing those are only words with no value. So, if you know the real satoshi get that sing from him or stop wasting your time with another FakeToshi.

At least you have a nice bait here. Do it well or get ready to burn your reputation.

if you cant provide a signed message then no 'published' story can prove anything, it just gets categorised as fan-fiction

however show the signed message¹ then you will have some cred' to then make your story² worth reading and eventually deciding if the name of the person³ is worth revealing

no signed message = stage 2 and 3 are full of bull

I second the statement of Franky! I am sure that my fellow forum members would ask for the same! So far we have seen a lot of drama around the true identity of Honorable Mr. Nakamoto but none of them could provide a signed message!

True Satoshi must posses the key associated with bitcoin's first ever mined block or what we call Genesis block! So he can simply sign a message with that key to prove who is what (only if he is willing to be revealed)!

Simple!

Pfffff, another stupid "investigation"

.

Once a wise man said extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. I doubt you can come up with any!

I think there is no need for such investigations or any kind of sleuthing to reveal the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. There is no need for suspense revelations as such that the community are now getting more and more annoyed from some of these bold revelations, all of them came from twisted lies!

All we need is for him/her is to sign the original addresses he/she used to confirm his/her identity... just as simple as that! :)

You claim to meet Satoshi Nakamoto in 2015 and for four years you were in a comma or what to come up with this revelation now when the forum is about to celebrate the 10 anniversary, my only request is to provide your real identity first before planning to come up with another story of another revaluation and as everyone said there is no proof without solid proof, sign the message from known wallets of Satoshi and it is not that hard   :P.

one more doubt, why you think it is necessary that the revelation is necessary now, in reality no one cares about the identity of Satoshi as he is not involved in the development of bitcoin for almost a decade.

There are many investigators and topics regarding the same topic in this forum and you are another wannabe investigator and welcome to that wannabe group :P.

As some have said before, that a message signed by Satoshi Nakamoto reveals it, and that you are included there, I think that would be the only way to believe him, therefore, even what you have revealed is mere speculation, McAfee also said it cost him nothing to find and know who Satoshi was, but how to believe him? Many theories and falsifications of Satoshi have emerged, and in case you have found the real Satoshi, it is because he allowed himself to be recognized, I do not believe he leaves loose ends so that they can track and find him.

I don't believe that unless if they show up a strong evidence, Like anyone here can just create a topic and claiming that he met Satoshi Nakamoto but how can you believe that? It seems like that guy wants to put his name in the first page related to bitcoin and gain some audience out of nowhere. If he's really met Satoshi nakamato, he should've proved that by a signature of him or something that makes up believe that not just talks, everyone can just talk and spread lies I guess.

Who is Hoffman? and who are you?
Do you want to ensure people just with this new twitter account : https://twitter.com/JosefHoffman4?lang=en?
Believe me, no one will trust in Hoffman Investigation in this way.

I have read many threads discussing Satoshi identity made by newbies, and all thread ended with no clear conclusion. I wonder why a newbie can make a theory about Satoshi identity even though he just joined here. Show your real account, mate!! I am not sure you are a new member.


How do you know he is Satoshi? And his location?
Even if you did 2 years of research, there is no guarantee to find out his identity.
It is almost impossible to know with a very limited clue.

I made a thread related to newbies theory on Satoshi identity : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202468.msg53111430#msg53111430

Fear Him. And respect Him.

For he offers you a truth that no one else has managed to uncover in a decade. Truly He is not like other men.

I assume he has a shirtless oil painting of himself hanging in his banqueting hall riding a stallion bareback with a large-breasted maiden behind him. Once he posts that that is all the credibility anyone needs.

I have been waiting for such a man all my life. I shall go to his estate and offer myself as a Mindful Wife.

Goodluck with this so called "Final Hunt", many have attempted to exposed the real Satoshi, but no far "zero" credibility. And yes, if the person you are going to exposed will just sign one of Satoshi's well known address, then there will be no discussions. But if you will just pinpoint someone, show us all the facts, and yet if he can't sign a message then I guess he is not Satoshi by crypto enthusiast standards.

There is no need for extraordinary proof if we look at how much success Craig Wright has pretending to be satoshi.

If we put aside our dislike for the dude, he did an exceptional job faking himself to the top of a $3 billion project. He is also continuously invited to countless blockchain and crypto conferences. I keep wondering why he is being invited continuously, but apparently people think he is satoshi so he should be a speaker and main face to generate more ticket sales.

Richard Heart confronted Craig recently during the AIBC Summit (link to video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29TX4GJyCCY)) where he called him out for being fake satoshi. He did what everyone wants to do but don't have the balls for. Respect.

It's easy to make a topic and tell lies online, it's no different to fake news unless you'll provide the requested proofs. Hunting real Satoshi Nakamoto has been already ended a long time ago after so many encounters of fake claims. I don't know the reason why are you still doing this. Just to gain attention or what? No one will believe you here cause we know which things are legit and true.

I'm not sure if you really met the original Satoshi Nakamoto in 2015. Do you want to make speculations for the Bitcoin community?
I hope you don't mention the initials CW as the real Satoshi   :'(

But, why does an intelligence journalist reveal his identity to the public? Of course I'm also curious about the results of your investigation.

Oh boy... here we go again  ::)
One more 'reveal'

Let me guess, he will come back soon with new project that is better than Bitcoin,
and he 'lost' all private keys, seed, computer, login passwords for bitcointalk, github, gmx email....

I remember meeting this total loser once, who tried to tell me that he knew who satoshi was because he'd met him.  You know the type.  The really pathetic, socially inept ones who are so desperate for people to notice them that they can't help but make up what they believe to be a cool-sounding story just to get a little attention.  I certainly didn't bother wasting my time asking for proof.  I just mocked him relentlessly for a while until he finally snapped at me.  At which point I told them "Don't be such a lying sack of shit, then".  The best part was, he even tried getting the only friend he had in the room to ask me to leave.  But his friend just completely blanked him, because even they could tell what a lost cause he was.  It was glorious.  He soon went quiet after that.

Long story short, if they're begging for attention, give them exactly the kind of attention they don't want.  This Hoffman poser sounds like he's cut from the same pathetic cloth.  If he deserves your attention at all, it should be of the hostile variety.  Don't allow him a pleasant stay.

Day in day out we keep getting these kind of pie in the dream adventures in here about exposing the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. In the very first place, this journalist that you referenced just registered on Twitter, that's strange and i think you are this same person trying to get some sort of hype about yourself. If Satoshi wants to be known he would have come out by making his presence known in this forum or better still signing a transaction with his address. So my best advice, take a chill and back from this useless search because you are likely not going to come up with anything.

That’s one offensive title, hunting for someone who contribute a lot for community, fix a lot of hunger and poor, what’s the rational to tarnish a good well decent group of Japanese names anons, people should focus on hunting the biggest criminals who seat comfortable on the office and working for Wall Street scum bag.

You should know that people here wouldn't believe that easy without any proof. Anything you say should be accompanied with something that would justify it. Everyone is still curious about the identity of the real Satoshi but it's hard to believe in statements of anybody without concrete evidences. That will be the only thing that could make crypto users believe you as well as your investigation.

Is it Tuesday again?  Another week, another worthless piece of crap Satoshi impersonator. Another scammer wasting everyone's time.

Bitcointalk should gain a feature where if you ever write  "I have met the real Satoshi Nakamoto" or similar, your account is locked and all your posts are hidden, and you just get a message box that pops up asking for a signature from the genesis block key of the message "please unban <account name>".

Well-done Greg Maxwell!

You have blocked Dr. Josef Hoffman  from discussing, if it is good to reveal the true identity of the real Satoshi Nakamoto. If Dr. Hoffman now published his two years of research work on Bloomberg, Forbes or in the Financial Times then, will you be able to remove that news from the Bitcointalk Forum?  If Satoshi Nakamoto come back to his original Bitcointalk forum account then what will you do?

Any one claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto must produce extraordinary evidence for extraordinary claim. Any one promotes Faketoshis must be a scammers. Do you think Dr. Josef Hoffman is trying to scam people? He has just published a message to debate, he should be given a chance to discuss the matter.

Well said, why don't they just accept the fact that satoshi is doing fine and he/they don't want to reveal his/their identity in public for unknown reason. There are a lot of people who already deceive the some of us by pretending to be someone else just to get the benefits that they wanted and the attention of people. It's really sad that it looks like they're invading his/their privacy, why can't we just respect their decision? we can't tell when he/they will comeback or if it is possible for him/them to comeback but let's just hope and accept it for now. Also, you can't just expect people to trust in you since you are a newbie maybe you are up to something, I don't think that it will be good if Satoshi reveal himself/themselves in public of course there will be pros and cons but i'm pretty sure that it can have a huge impact on bitcoin.

one thing is more plausible
bitcoin moses being hoffman

Scammers should get banned indeed. Although the scam here, if there is one, has not unveiled yet. I think it would be funnier to see where he is going with this.

Even if you reveal the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto I think many would sure not believe you without a plausible proof and even if let say that it is really 100% accurate I guess it will just go to waste because we are just adept that Satoshi Nakamoto is just a mystery but I am not saying that I don't want to know his true Identity it is just that we are OK with the fact that Satoshi doesn't want a life that has fear in his security and I think after so many years of hiding do you think risking it all by reveling himself will just end up him returning to his normal life? I think not.

I see it that way also. I don't think he would even admit he is satoshi nakamoto even if he is going to be cornered and proven to be him by someone. Believe it or not, if the guy really want to be publicly known, he would have withdraw just a bit of his BTC to enjoy what he had done for years. But he didn't because he might just reveal tiny piece of his information by doing it.

How Satoshi Nakamoto will prove his identity it is up to him.

Yes, I am agree, as every one is demanding he must sign a message from the Genesis Block but it is up to Satoshi, if he want to sign the message or moves all the coins from the Genesis Block. Now the question is why the Bitcointalk staffs and few others do not want anybody to talk about Satoshi? I am sure the real Satoshi is reading this thread and also few Faketoshis also reading this thread who want to become Satoshi Nakamoto to obtain fame to scam people for monetary gaining. Satoshi may appear at any  moment to let the Bitcoin community leaders know  that their time is over. How beautiful is the magic of 'pseudonym' that he is visible but unseen by any news reporters around the world. The people who are trying to impersonate Satoshi will get their yogurts in 2020 Bitcoin and Blockchain Summit.  Satoshi Nakamoto will prove his identity by a secret message and his original signature. I am sure you people understand my message.  When Devil claim to be God almighty, then there need a democratic election in Heaven, where every angels must vote and elect, who should be God ?

If God created heaven and the earth and all the planetary system that exits in the universe, he must have full knowledge of how he created it in the first place. Devil could be an impersonator of God and claiming to be God by ordering every body on earth to lowdown to him alone.  This is why he send prophets to teach and guide people. But all those things are opium for the masses as Karl Marx pointed out. But the true fact is, who was there to witness the fact when God created  the Heaven and the earth ? The logic explains no one was there beside God. It mean only God was there, when he created the Universe. Now the question arises who is God ?

Scientist explains that the Big Bang created the universe. They say, before the creation of the universe there was some thing that caused the Big Bang to explode. What was that thing ? They believe it was  called 'Primordial Soup'. It is a foolish explanation to the fools. According to the Bitcoinism, Before the begging there was a Bit and the Bit multiplied and duplicated itself or clone itself to form a second bit. Then the second bit encircled the original Bit and created a coin or coil. After a while the second bit reentered inside the original Bit then is mystical format it was blown up asunder  and created the Big Bang. Therefore, the original Bit plus coin equal is Bitcoin. So before the beginning there was a Bitcoin and the Bitcoin created the Bitcoin Big Bang. There was no body there to witness the Bitcoin Big Bang beside Satoshi. Thus Satoshi synthesized the words (Bit+Coin)=BitCoin=Bit-C++coin=Bitcoin. Satoshi was inside the original Bit and when the Bitcoin Big Bang took place, Satoshi saw nothing there around him. So when he opened his right eye, he saw a light came out from his own right  eye. This is why his true name was called 'Nour'. Nour mean Divine Light. Now you people of this world, you have no knowledge of how the universe came into existence but Satoshi has full knowledge of it and this why he invented Blockchain to make Bitcoin Peer-to-peer transaction without a third party. Bitcoin is Holly as the universe is Holly. So Satoshi needed an algorithm to mine the Genesis Block#0,  therefore he  formulated the Bitcoin mining system with a computational logic which is called the Bitcoin Mining Algorithm. It is complex mathematical system of equation. Now, who is God or Satan the Devil ? You can decide yourself, who is God ?  And also you can find out who is Satoshi or Fakeoshi ?  But remember, there are many people out there who are the impersonators of the real Satoshi. It is a drama, I mean Bitcoin Drama. Play your role as you like. You also can claim to be the real Satoshi. You will not commit sin by claiming to be Satoshi. Satoshi will invite you in the Bitcoin Inner Circle, if you qualify to meet Satoshi. He knows how and when to prove his own identity. But he need the right time to do it. So be patience.

Hi Franky1,

You think, I could be Hoffman; How about if I claim to be the real Satoshi ?  Dr. Hoffman could be a team of investigators, who are investigating the case of the Bitcoin invention and its elusive inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. Any one thought to be Satoshi or claimed to be Satoshi has turned to be wrong persons or impostors. If Dr. Hoffman is serious about his research and find the real man behind Bitcoin then he might be able to reveal the real Satoshi. What is wrong about his research ? 

I don't think we'll find the real Satoshi. Maybe someday, but definitely not in the next few years.

Here we go again another announcement about the "real Satoshi Nakamoto", this the nth time but I still want to see what a new twist will this guy going to offer to us, I want a new fresh story, of course, it should be more interesting than all the other first, but I'm pretty sure I already know where this will lead us, an introduction to a new project, that has been the case on the earlier Fake Satoshis but let's see our pop corn are ready.

There is nothing wrong with his research, people around him may not even care what he is doing. But since he announced it here, he must be ask audience. The problem with claiming that he found satoshi is that anyone can claim he had found satoshi. There is no law that prohibits anyone from doing it but proving will be another story. And a simple sign message is just a step to do it. If this simple sign message can't be provided than this claim is all bullshit.

More investigations and claimants come out but none presents proof that will lead to Satoshis identity. The only way they can be acknowledge as Satoshi if they can transfer a bitcoin from the Satoshi Nakamotos wallet. So far, none.

Since Satoshi Nakamoto made the first appearance here in the forum, we hope one day he will be active again to prove that he is still alive.

xDD let me add one more feature, everytime some one writes something about C.Wright the post will me deleted or replaced or something like that. I am so boooored to see how this forum is full of post about that stu*id guy.

oh w8! i did it, well, was just to put you the example :P

CIA or NASA must have been watching the forum 247, if he logs back here there is a chance that he could be tracked. There is ZERO chance that he will be back, he isn't Craig Wright who just want to impress people. Satoshi didn't even waste time to convince people about his technology, its just that there are brilliant people who understood what he is up to and what problem it solves which is why his BTC and blockchain attracted the attention of the cryptographers who were trying to solve the problem all their lives.

If I'd didn't know any better. I wouldn't suspect this to be a scam. What gain do you benefit from by supposedly exposing Satoshi Nakamoto, someone who went out of their way to release publicly Blockchain & Bitcoin tech, all awhile attempting to remaining anonymous? Who is to say that Satoshi Nakamoto is even a single entity? What if it's a team of cypherpunks that went under a singular pseudo identity? Where is your proof or source for such accusations?
I could be wrong but I think these claims are dubious, unless you're willing to provide evidence to refute you claims!  >:(

easier to just move/merge anything with CW CSW faketoshi, craig wright to a single topic thread
same as all the 'i found satoshi' 'what would you say to satoshi' should be moved to a 'satoshi' category or should be merged into one topic
and ofcourse the 'quantum threat' and the carbon footprint of btc, and daily 'price drama' speculations

maybe the easier thing is when people click the 'new topic' button. they dont go straight to a page to make it. but a splash page that says 'have you used the search function to see if similar topics exist' and then a confirm this topic is new/revelent

Not a bad idea, but don't put high hopes on users, i mean that im sure that they will not do it properly :P
Unfortunately I am sure that measures like this will never be carried out...but yes, you are in truth, there is lot of topics that are repeated every day...

Aren't you guys done with this faketoshi investigation? Since none of them couldn't propose a legitimate evidence that one of the main thing that Satoshi had in his previous works is having a Bitcoin that worth millions of dollars in our current price today.

What is the out come of your Investigation ?
Have you really found Satoshi Nakamoto ?
We do not want another Faketoshi.
Please be mindful about it.

You guys aren't tired of finding the real Satoshi Nakamoto? and how you guys will find a person that has not been able to reveal himself? And why you guys are still conducting a hunt for the real Satoshi Nakamoto? Aren't you guys thinking that maybe Satoshi just wants an peaceful life and hr doesn't want to reveal his identity in order to have peace also in his mind? Just stop and enough hunting the real satoshi and stop also for those people who are pretending that they are the real Satoshi Nakamoto or what we called those faketoshi.

I believe that many people are afraid of the appearance of Satoshi Nakamoto and the transfers of those cryptocurrency funds that are stored on Satoshi's wallets.  Many analysts believe that one million bitcoin owned by Satoshi Nakamoto can just blow up the cryptocurrency market and another war will begin between the owners of Bitcoin and altcoin.  Perhaps none of the owners of Bitcoin wants to see the manifestation of activity in the Bitcoin wallets of Satoshi Nakamoto.  Based on this, I believe that each cryptocurrency user has a different attitude to the study regarding Satoshi.

The author of this post claimed to be a journalist trusted by satoshi... He had posted a link to a twitter account, from which he linked to a youtube video which said 'info coming soon' and was narrated by a shitty text to speech program. He has been inactive after those three posts he made here. I hope mods lock this post because really it's just going to get filled with spam.

I have seen many similar investigations about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. This is another investigation aimed at drawing attention to its author. No one can say what Hoffman's goal is now. I see this as an opportunity for self-promotion.

He is here on bitcointalk.org

It is not important to know who he is.

Yes you are right. he is here, it not important for you but there are million want know him, And if he decide to reveal his own identity for any valid reason, you won't be able to stop him to reveal his own identity. 

Of course we have seen how it all ended - the OP just wanted his 5minutes of fame.


It keeps ringing in my head that Satoshi could be Theymos. Besides, I don't think anyone hodling a staunch of almost a million units of an expensive asset as BTC will want to reveal himself anymore. Let's move on.
