Whether he is the real deal or not, it is our duty to protect the man who is in a VERY difficult position right now.

I propose we start raising funds in order to protect him.

I do not have much but I am more than willing to give some of the little I have to protect Satoshi and Bitcoin.

Anyone else with me?

This will definitely give some food for thoughts for the ones who are trying to crush Bitcoin.

What do we say?: [quotes Gandalf the Gray (at the time)]
Thou shall not pass!

are you taking donations?

lol!

Nope. I would prefer a senior member do it :)

i'm with you bro.  i already donated the price of a doughnut  ;D

It's not the satoshi, but someone we got in trouble with bitcoin crazy shit.

I'll donate. Even if it's just to protect some dude, that's not satoshi, but just got a shitstorm over him.

satoshi is not at a security risk.

calm down everyone

the creator of bitcoin is not the Californian in the report. so get that fud out your head
secondly the bitcoin creator wont be kidnapped or water-boarded by governments if ever found
thirdly, every few months another person new to bitcoin suddenly thinks they know it all and have the solution. much like going to KFC for the first time and thinking you have figured out the colonels secret recipe, out the other millions of people before you that said the same thing and were all wrong.

calm down everyone

the world will keep spinning
the sun will rise again tomorrow
governments will continue to tax you
nothing has changed.

even if they find the true satoshi, bitcoin cannot be shut down and the control of bitcoin is not in satoshi's hands to do anything with. so please will people stop panicking and making 2 dozen topic posts just today about the boring and endless 'who is satoshi'

You don't get my point.....

If we don't respond NOW, then we have no say when it comes to Bitcoin.

THE GUY IS INNOCENT.
That's why he needs protection.

EDIT: Besides, what is it going to cost you? 0.01BTC?
Is that not worth saying that Bitcoin is here to stay?

Why would we have to raise funds for someone that over $400 million in Bitcoins?

He can afford a tank, chopper, and a small militia for that amount.

Let me guess...we just need to send our bitcoins to an address you control personally.  Sounds legit.

Read my posts....

Thanks for stopping by.

Do you have anything meaningful to offer?
If not, go away.

No, he can't because if he uses even one of those BTC (if it is really him) then he will make things clear that he is Satoshi.

But if he is Satoshi, which looks very possible, he can figure out a way to do it anonymously(he is Satoshi for God's sake) without bringing attention to himself.

The guy (if it's him) created the dang protocol and is a cryptographic genius, but can't send a payment without detection???

Believe me, if it were him, he'd figure it out.

How exactly do you propose protecting him?
After all it's his decision to claim he is Satoshi, he wasn't forced to it.

So, moving the very first coins that were created wont cause suspicions?

Especially now?

Well, if we can raise enough to have a team and protect him, that would be good.
A solid statement by the community members as well.

I can't accept that my Jesus is a fat asian guy with toy trains and not a 20 something super cyber hacker destroying the gubment and banging 50 womenz

Until we actually see some kind of proof anybody with last name Satoshi can claim they've invited bitcoin..
I still don't buy it.

You guys still don't get the point....

I don't think I will repeat my self again.
No point on talking to a wall.
I don't even get an echo back....

Maybe people would understand you better if you propose concrete actions to help this guy  ;)

Soliciting donations for 'fake' Satoshi, don't want to see the guy killed,injured, stressed or hurting btc unnecessary  I'll donate a bit to have a protection detail outside his house for a month or so. Don't know, feel sad for the dude, and the shitstorm. But well, everyone that been here long enough. (This is not my first bitcointalkaccount) should know this is not the satoshi but a satoshi. Let's get some protection for the dude, we can't have a satoshi die on us, or am I wrong?

Or is this just another scam attempt?
"Donations for Satoshi's protection"

What point? That if he is the real Satoshi he has one million BTC making him much richer than all of us put together? Or that if he's not the real Satoshi but is claiming he is and effectively lying to everyone when he's really just a run of the mill broke like a joke old man?

If it's the prior, he doesn't need your donations; and if it's the latter he can go suck a bag of dicks for all I care. (I can't pull up the article right now, so correct me if I'm wrong and he isn't actually claiming to be the creator of Bitcoin)

No he didnt, i thinks its time for you to suck a bad of dicks.

Come on, we all know it, ppl are retarded. There is always a % that believes strongly that he is satoshi and will make his life hell. Feel sad for the guy.

He is my neighbor! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So a reporter just happens to interview him and take pictures of him and he didn't once ask why? You're trying to tell me the guy is oblivious as to why this reporter was interviewing him?

I can see it now, "Oh, you want to do an interview on me just because I'm awesomesauce? By all means take a seat. I'll answer all of your questions and pose for some shots; just make sure to get my good side".

This is classic

IF and that is a big IF he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto. But he most likely is NOT, and now we have a fame craving journalist bitch that puts this poor old mans live in great risk. How many hear could actually think straight if the whole god damn world wrote about your entire life, family and pretty much made you famous overnight because of some retarded person that calls herself a journalist. Just look here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zqp2i/if_you_believe_the_report_about_satoshi_nakamotos/

THIS IS NOT OUR SATOSHI NAKAMTO! Its an old man, that is sick, had a stroke and is in danger of dying. The stress alone inflicted by this whore is enough to kill an athlete in his prime.

totally agree.  hasn't been proven yet, although I think we'll find out in the next few weeks one way or the other.

yah, the journalist should be punched in the face either way.  without proof, which she did not have, she had no right pointing to anyone.

True that!

OK, I propose we raise funds to hire a team and protect this Satoshi, whether the real one or not.

You do not deserve a single Satoshi.

I have nothing else to say to you.
May God have mercy on your soul.

Set it up on http://www.bitcoinstarter.com  lets raise the funds!

Read my previous posts.

I am willing to donate the little bit I have, but not willing to handle the whole fund raising thing.
I would like a hero or senior member to do it.

...and what if he's not. What if he's just another "foreign-looking" guy, but people think he's 'The One'.

People need to realize this.

I'm not condoning donations or such, but I really wish people would think outside the box and understand that if a person is believed to be someone they will be harassed or even murdered.

THANK YOU!!!!

That is what i am trying to tell them

Besides, if we join up now for this we put out a strong message.

You'll be happy to hear than the neither the world nor I give a rats ass what you believe I deserve or do not deserve. That's the beauty of this universe. You can have every opinion in the world and other don't have to care about any of your opinions.

What makes you think that hearing that makes me happy?

It'll make you happier than knowing I have BTC that you "think" I don't deserve.

I'll keep adding Bitcoins to my wallet, and you'll continue having an opinion, and the world will keep turning. But it's cute of you to think you know anything about me and what I do or do not deserve.

He seems to need some food. Why don't we buy him lunch.

He took that free launch any ways. 8)
