If dude was able to invent blockchain technology sure he can potect his anonimity so i guess his identity will stay mistery for most ppl.

Not all are people. The first one, as given on the website, is "Bitcoin Miners". Some are references to events or things or concepts. You don't have to get all 51, you just have to get more than everybody else.

If you'd rather just buy a ticket, today is the last day to take advantage of the early registration discount. Register at http://bitcoinconsumerfair.com/registration/

I think that many people are curious to find answer for this question.
If I will be Satoshi, I will choose to remain in anonymity for many different reasons, security, possible legal action etc.
I think we will never reveal his identity (if Satoshi is smart enough) so all this questions about him will remain unanswered.

The real story is something like "Ender's Game". Except, the old men use Ender to get the advantage and then place their own little puppet figurehead on top of Bitcoin (cough, Facebook, cough).

Maybe the title of this post is misleading. This is not a contest to find Satoshi, this is a contest to name the references in the scene on the website. See the image here http://bitcoinconsumerfair.com/identify-the-bitcoin-references/

To DigiX, submit your entry because 1/2 may be just enough to win the contest.

Lol! That's quite the collage of Bitcoin infamy. That's awesome. I'm no where near Atlanta but sounds great, have fun!

Cool!

With a first glance I only see about 30.  I wonder what "1025" references or what the blue porcupine represents.

So far Rassah is in the lead with 38 correct references.  Can you beat him?  Enter today.

That's a really fun image.

I hope you published the full list afterwards!

WE should post the insider references on this thread.

Post by: Somekindabitcoin on March 11, 2015, 07:20:54 AM
I'm pretty sure the few people who know of Satoshi are the devs who took over Bitcoin when he left and the guy who hacked into his email through that tor leak stuff.

This is goin' sound really weird, but it took me three read-throughs to understand the contest after lookin' at the first image, then still not get it. Then, I scroll further down and saw the bigger pic. I put two and two together and finally realized what was being asked. In short order, I got up to 43, with about six of them being a tad tough, others/most humorous. I think I can nail them all.

Just starting reading the rest of this thread, and see that I'm ahead of Rassah. Also, I just noticed that this thread is over 2 weeks old, thinking at first it was a new thread. Now I think I'm wastin' my time. FUCK ME!

EDIT: Damn, I must be too tired (yet still was able to get 43). Just noticed that Rassah's post was dated the 10th, thinkin' it was in Feb. some time. I'm all fucked up!

EDIT 2: Yep, tired! I just corrected the grammar in [this] post four times. (make that five)

46, now, and I'm tired. One was fuckin obvious, don't know how I missed it. 5 to go. Yes, I counted the given one.

Almost posted, but went to make sure there's 51 and not 50 ref. This fucker is so clever! Make that 4 more to go. Bet you I get them when I wake up, for it beddy bye (or however you fuckin spell it) for me.

Post by: Gleb Gamow on March 11, 2015, 09:19:49 AM
I'll be a mother fucker! Make that 3 left. I had a feeling that I was included in that mix. Well played! I bet Rassah missed that one. Seriously, I've been trying to go to bed even before stumbling on this thread.


Title: Re: Where's Satoshi? The Ultimate Bitcoin Insider Reference Contest - Atlanta
Post by: Rassah on March 11, 2015, 09:38:21 PM
I just submitted some more (a few obvious ones I somehow missed). Assuming I'm allowed to do whatever I want with the winnings and the 51% companion tickets, if I win, I would like to have the money that would be spent on my ticket and hotel be donated to Satoshi Forest instead (I know Jason King needs help), and would like to offer to buy the second place winner his ticket at the 51% discount (even if he goes through me). I will be at the conference anyway, at my own expense, probably with Mycelium swag.

Well Rassah is the winner. We're announcing early. We only got a few submissions. I think he set the bar too high with his initial entry. I'll be contacting him offline. In the interim, we're revising the contest. Be the first person to name each one of the references and we'll give you the 51% off your ticket price. Please don't enter unless you intend on purchasing a ticket. If you wish to purchase multiple ticket you can guess on multiple references. Enter your selection in the list below with your guess and (your username). We'll contact you with direct message with the discount code. To help you, the reference numbers are outlined in this chart http://bitcoinconsumerfair.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/BitcoinConsumerFair_Outline.jpg

Well. that's what I get for being a self-styled "Bitcoin Expert," spending hours a day almost every day for 4 years straight reading up on everything and everyone bitcoin related :D

Please release the full answers list when you're done with this. The image is great and while I not a lot of them, I'm not sure about most.
