What makes you think it's real?


For reference, https://metrics.torproject.org/exonerator.html?ip=68.57.205.126&timestamp=2009-02-12&lang=en (https://metrics.torproject.org/exonerator.html?ip=68.57.205.126&timestamp=2009-02-12&lang=en)

It seems real, but still highly debateable. And given that the address is on Tor makes it difficult to trace, since the original request was jumped to multiple relays before reaching the receiver of the email. All the data sent and received in the network is protected with multiple layers of encryption, and cracking through all of them just to know which IP it originated seems impossible.

cracking all of it NOW will only reveal the relay peers of .. guess.. NOW
they dont hold logs of 11 years ago.. so it isnt 'seems impossible' .. but 'definetly impossible'

Where is Satoshi  IP come from, really he is from Japan or other country and use his label name look Japanese username, I think will be good to know who is real Satoshi and how much assets bitcoin still save and hold in his wallet, how ever just an opinion without going true or not about real Satoshi or only fake information.

Afaik Satoshi's IP leaked once in a debug log. You can find an explanation here, but it never lead to Satoshi's identity: https://whoissatoshi.wordpress.com/2016/02/20/satoshi-in-california/

The truth remains that whoever is behind the Satoshi phenomenon is a tech wizard and had coded himself not to be discovered. For me, I don't even see any relevance it will be discovering that identity at this time. The entire Bitcoin community has adjusted well without knowing the person behind Bitcoin. So, I don't see the need we should bother ourselves with that now. Let's keep moving instead of trying to rock the boat.

Satoshi did want to be left alone, so his status is R.I.P. not "IP" (address found) Thank you Satoshi and goodbye.

Well, this one resolved fast with the revelation that this IP means that Satoshi was using TOR. I've also heard before about the leaked real IP, but it truly is not a way to determine who Satoshi is. A friend of mine likes IvanOnTech on Youtube, and he said that Ivan believes that if Google wanted to find out who's Satoshi, it could, but it would, of course, be a massive privacy violation. The argumentation was that they can find out the info about IP-addresses, logs and stuff like that in the volumes which at least would be enough to compare this person with someone else who is a potential Satoshi and say whether it's the case. What do you think of that?

if people were to actually want to find out info. they wont find it via metadata of the white paper or emails.
if anything it may come from debug logs of the very first 2009 versions of bitcoins program wrote by satoshi.


firstly it was not tor compatible back then and of course being peer to peer. he had to connect his node to someone somewhere for him to be on the network

The IP is for sure a valid one but if we search well for it , we go back to TOR  so is it his real IP address ? I think not, why would his IP address pop-off 10 years later. Also do we know that Satoshi used just 1 ip address or multiple ? If he used multiple , maybe this could be one of his original IP address but once again , nowadays if you have the IP address , its only a matter of time until you find the street from where it is used from.

I think the most interesting puzzle is made from those guy who did the search from 2009 to 2019 and revealed a lot of "Secrets". I will comeback with the thread link.

How they found these ips?

Having looked at that I thought the name of the node was funny so I searched that out and found this post.

https://www.mail-archive.com/or-talk@freehaven.net/msg07043.html

Your Tor server's identity key fingerprint is
'MYCROFTsOtherChild 0232 2050 5A55 0D6F DF0C 20FF 7C48 E66B A06A 49A6'

There are likely many people who used this node not just Satoshi.

You can also find the above by searching

It is very funny to watch attempts to identify Satoshi Nakamoto, but all these attempts remain unsuccessful.  If we take into account the complexity of the blockchain technology and its phenomenality, then I believe that all intentions to find its creator will not have any success.  If Satoshi Nakamoto wanted to stay incognito, then it really will be so.  If someone else hopes that Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto wallets will still be active sometime, then we are unlikely to see once again the reuse of Satoshi's IP address.

Are we really sure that this IP address is from Satoshi? Just like what you have been said the IP address is uses TOR which means he/she is using a vpn to hid their IP addresses, so it is really hard to trace if the ip address was really from satoshi or not but for me I think this is not from Satoshi in which it is just from a normal people who are using vpn to hid their ip address and cheat some people.
Just like what you have been said through the use of TOR all files and documents will be also encrypted and very hard to decrypt so it is very hard to say that the files was also pretaining to satoshi.

It must be very secret and very important news....so you had to create brand new account just to tell us this and enlighten us like this.
We are now all blessed and at peace ...

I am really curious as to why people are finding Satoshi any way they can. What happens if they do find out the IP address or whoever is the real Satoshi?
I prefer for Satoshi to be anonymous forever. It will somehow add spice in the crypto world if they keep looking for him and don't find him  ;D

IP is not proof of identity. It could be a fake at 99.9%. I'm sure that you will know who Satoshi is only when he wants to. Cheer!

I don't see any main goal why they are persistent to find the real satoshi nakamoto in which even the ip address of Satoshi Nakamoto is become the interest of the many people just to know the true identity of it and against all odds he is still hiding his or her true identity on us. Me too I prefer if Satoshi will just not reveal his true identity in order for their personal security matters, in that case it will be just Satoshi Nakamoto will just vanished among the mind of the mass.

Do you really think that Satoshi wouldn't secure his own IP address?
Even if Satoshi really did use that IP address I am pretty sure that we wouldn't get anything from it,
He/she would be so smart to use his own IP address just to be traced after all I am sure that Satoshi really wants to stay anonymous right from the start so he/she already planned it all.

Just to get the attention, really, nothing else. And there's no assurance that an IP address is from from someone or not, even if its from satoshi, so what? You will get nothing even if someone traced the location of the IP address since VPN exists already that day.

why someone got caught and traced by getting thier ip addreses only ? and why vpn , proxies and anonimity tools are invented    ? i suddenly come to think that it is really possible to expose someone by thier ip but if you are smart you can easily hide and spoof your ip and your current location to the other  .  satoshi is a smart guy and he was also concious with his ip or identity like most of us  , so obviously its not its ip  but it was only a made up ip and named with satoshi  .

Fame? Bragging rights?  That they are the ones to crack Satoshi's whereabouts..


Just deal with it, people who have nothing important to do always love to put their nose where it shouldn't be.  Others ride just to get monetized especially, writers and bloggers. 

The ip address of satoshi, the mastermind of all, have found? meh.
The guy is just trolling, it's just a waste of time for him and us.
Trolls are getting paid too.
Expect more like this on the internet, not all of the information you see is true. That's why we need always to validate all of the info before spreading.

There are many reasons why the identity of satoshi is important for many people, to begin with I am sure that most 3 letter security agencies will like to have a word with him, also many reporters would like to know his identity in order to make a name for themselves, but probably the most important reasons has to do with history, there are many inventions of which we do not know the name of the person behind it, however in most of those cases this is because those inventions were created hundreds  or even thousands of years ago, if bitcoin becomes as important as we believe it will then the identity of satoshi will become more important as time passes and most people would like to know the identity of the person behind it.

Move on. We can't really say it's his own IP add. Or even if he really  used that IP, then what now? Let Satoshi lead  his own life now, we can not get any gains from finding his IP address. And come to think of it, Satoshi wants to be anonymous. Don't you think he did not guaranteed to remain his identity a secret one? Digging his ip is useless.

The administrators of this forum may possibly know Satoshi's IP address. Well, as well as people who were at the very beginning of the development of bitcoin.
And to give out this information, even if they have it, they have absolutely no reason.

Interesting to see that Satoshi obviously went to great lengths to protect his identity, and yet people are still trying to discover who he is.

There must be a rationale behind his wish to be anonymous, but surely he couldn't have known for sure how big Bitcoin would become?

Maybe he just wanted to create a legacy and a mystery, to show that an anonymous entity could shake up the system, and do what all the wars, rallies, and revolutions could not—dethrone the elite!

so, I see these last few very often for beginners to ask about satoshi and say something that doesn't make sense.

What's in it for all of them....!

And now the beginner comes again with IP Satoshi, what is this for, is this a joke.

Too strange for me every beginner who comes, satoshi is found, satoshi has been caught, satoshi etc, silly and boring.

Hi, beginners, why don't you think about investing in Bitcoin and buy as much as possible for your future.
Why are you looking for the uncertainty, satoshi has given you Bitcoin for your economic prosperity, use it well for your future all.

Let satoshi choose his own way that is best for himself and the people, stop bringing ip, gmail, photos, addresses etc. It does not help you to get something.

Based only on this is not a Tor exit node we can't be stressed it's a Satoshi's real IP. It doesn't prove that it's not a VPN.
It is also a matter of watching how long he has been using this IP. He has used this IP for a very short time, one or two times.
so, it is not his real permanent IP.

They think they will find gold afterwards.  ;D

There is not much sense into looking for his IP.
Even if you find it then what is next?
He may be reading this now and making fun of whoever made the posts.  ;D Hello there, satoshi.

Do you think Satoshi was someone who couldn't think of that? Guys, don't search for him anymore. Unless he shows up, you won't find him!

Exactly, this is getting really ridiculous. I can't imagine that someone might beleive Satoshi would let to be revealed through IP address. And if that was the case, what is the proof for that.
I really can't understand why are people so much interested to find Satoshi and how would that fact influence their lives. Just let him be and if he doesn't want to be revealed no one will manage to do that.

How you find that IP, and how you know for sure is his IP, and what country is that IP?

I wonder what is the real benefit of knowing this kind of information. As of now, this is nonsense and there's no gain here. Besides, it's easy for satoshi to change his IP address once it is bring exposed to the public, that's not a problem to him since he has a lot of money now. I hope that there's no newbie believe this guy.

So let say you finally found Satoshi by tracking his IP address, and you finally found where he/she/they lived. What do you want to do after you meet Satoshi? Let him/her/them do what they want to do, don't bother to find him/her/them because you will be difficult to do that. I am sure they are very smart to hide from the people because they have skills to undercover.

Satoshi was a visionary, even if he was not sure bitcoin will become a success he knew the possibility was there and as such he did not wanted to become a public figure if that was the case, it is obvious that he really thought about everything in a very detailed way, it does not seem as if he made any mistake not only when it came to trying to hide his identity but also in the way he suddenly left the scene and how he delegated the future of this project to some other people.

Is that true? If it is true, what will be done with that? Will anybody be curiosua and search for this?
Can't we just get on with the who, where, and how of Satoshi?
Yes, maybe a lot of people are very curious. But will this end well? In this case, we know that Satoshi's whereabouts have always been kept secret for some reason.
But it can't be helped, sometimes it is interesting for some people to continue exploring about him or them.

In my opinion it's really not important to do research on satoshi IP addresses, because doing stupid things like this is just a waste of time finding it and I'm sure whatever you do won't be able to find the truth. So let it be a mystery from satoshi to everyone about Bitcoin, because in my opinion if satoshi really existed from then until now it wouldn't be a problem and wouldn't make the price of Bitcoin go down.

This IP address is not useful. Satoshi was using Tor network if you know about tor network you will understand the is made of many layers just like an onion. In ever layer of this onion network the user will change his IP address. Also, imagine he use the other stuff like tails OS. That's why the IP address you posted here is actually not useful at all. He is not detectable using this IP address.

If someday somebody really finds out who he was, I think it will take a lot of the excitement out there. He was probably a normal person, with some controversial positions. I see no gain in knowing who he is, although I am curious. But worse than not knowing, it is the imposters who try to impersonate him. So anyone who discloses these findings needs to be careful.

I wonder why people still bother to discover who he really is and try to solve the myth!
Why care so much who he is but rather than what he had to offer to our dumb@$$es

OP, if you are convince that you found Satoshi I.P address then make more evidence and convincing posts that we can decide on that matter.

For now as what other users had mention that is almost impossible for you to locate it. Besides, after 11 years of using internet probably satoshi change its internet network service provider to a more fast interney service.or had been doing some upgrade in their connection service. Hence looking for the real IP address that would be possibly for SATOSHI would be almost impossible.

When are we going to leave this Satoshi saga? I think we need to move on and live this anonymous man or group of people. The revolution has been created which might probably save the whole world in the future

Satoshi's identity doesn't matter because bitcoin is a currency independent of Satoshi. Only novices’ identities and IP addresses are exposed, and we all know that a man like Satoshi would not be such a rookie. ;D

I don't think this is fruitful after 11 years.

I think it's pointless in trying to trace the origin of the email which was sent using TOR as it uses multiple relays and encryptions it practically impossible .

Also if Satoshi doesn't want to be found let him be anonymous.

BTC is not independent from Satoshi, in a way that he own almost 5% of total BTC, or 6% or current amount in circulation, so there is a dependency, even if we count out that he deployed the network

on the other hand, he was not novice for sure, but Ross Ulbricht was not as well, and he was find after investigation of Silk road marketplace, so i do not think that Satoshi could not be found, if there is an interest in finding who he really was
but, at the moment, that interest is on novices and enthusiasts, and they do not have the tools required to find him

hopefully, Satoshi would not be find ever, since that could influence a revolution

It wouldn't matter even if it was the real IP of Satoshi, Satoshi want's privacy and wants to stay hidden from all of us.
I think the real Satoshi would have think of any possibility that his/her real identity could be uncovered and made a step ahead to cover all the tracks.

Why do some people try to found Satoshi? He wanted to stay anonymous and he deserved it.

I attempted to follow the IP, and the locale they're demonstrating is "The United States" I realize Satoshi has a place in Japan, and there are embrace risks that this information is wrong or fake.
In any case, we ought not to trouble this folk, since he wants to spend his life alone and without turning into any VIP.
I want to express profound gratitude to him for gift us such productive digital currency; however, he would prefer not to uncover himself.

Why people are still looking for the founder fot the bitcoin if he wants a private life better we give to him what he want.
Be thankfuk because he created a bitcoin and we are earning money because of him because if he did not developed a bitcoin we don't have any opportunity to earn money. Just leave him alone and be happy because we are here and base of what I saw your details you given is not true.

Satoshi IP address is still unknown to people  because Satoshi never disclose his private IP address to anybody. Satoshi knew if he by mistake exposed his IP address to people, many will be using it to do evil in the forum. That is why Many scammers are still looking for way to appear or do things as if they are Satoshi bitcoin creator.
I think nobody can found Satoshi original IP address. Those IP address they are showing as Satoshi IP address is not his real IP address.

He clearly disappeared and made sure he couldn't be found. If he could, he would have by now. He has practically done what he set out to do, in propagating a code of cryptography that everyone all over the world would use. He/she/they are sitting back now and going on with their lives knowing that they never need to or want to make a return. The revolution is done.

Finding 'satoshi' may not actually be as hard as media mythopoeia would have you believe ...

There is no No. 1 ...

They obtain the IPs through the Debug log of Bitcoin Alpha software because its said that the software used IP address to send and receive bitcoins. Because of these the debug log becomes useful to gather some information. And the result reveals IP’s of 3 users who were connected to the IRC and by that time its said that Satoshi and Hal were the only two people working on the project.
But Its still unknown whether these IPs are a solid proof because there are ways to use fake IPs through the use of VPN.

That's the world we live in, they will always be at your disadvantage even though you are fighting for their freedom. Many heroes and heroine where killed becasue of their selfless sacrifice to humanity, Satoshi among others wanted the world to be free from her dictators and the people he came for are the same digging the IP's address, then the question is: For what use will Satoshi IP address use for?.

I do not understand at all why to create such loud headlines for topics while not having sufficient grounds to seriously substantiate my version.
This doesn't sound like a serious investigation of Satoshi Nakamoto's IP address, which in reality could lead to the disclosure of his identity.
And do not hope that everything will be as simple as it seems.

Yes exactly. YOu can't do anything with an IP anyway. They change so often. This obsession with who Satoshi is, is really pathetic. I am glad to hear there are bitcoin warriors like yourself out there that still understand and grasp the concept that bitcoin is a tool of liberty & not an entrance into vast fiat wealth.

Don't even know what they will accomplish by finding out who the real bitcoin creator is. And even if we really find him, we'll just shrug him off and call him another one of those Satoshi-wannabes since the creator made himself clear that he wouldn't show who he really is. Unless there's a competition where we will win a huge sum of money by finding him, locating Satoshi is just going to be a waste of time, money and effort.

NO, big NO. Even if there is a competition with a huge amount of money to find Satoshi, I doubt anyone can get a piece of information related to Satoshi. It isn't about the reward but how people know him with no valid signs left by Satoshi. It simply will be a wasting competition, you shouldn't think like that. IMO, someone who can identify who Satoshi is probably Detective Conan. But unfortunately, it is only anime, not real. So, why don't just forget it, mate? We've no chance.  ;)

I am among those who are not that interested in Satoshi Nakamoto's identity, even though I know it, will not get any benefit.
So I did nothing to find out Satoshi Nakamoto's identity, all I care about is Bitcoin. I thank Satoshi Nakamoto for creating Bitcoin,
because Bitcoin has provided many benefits to me. That's why I really appreciate Satoshi Nakamoto's wish to be anonymous,
and decided not to look for his identity.

Exactly.  I have little doubt that Satoshi planned all of their steps very carefully. Of course this is obvious, as everyone whos ever chatted with them has said they would not talk about anything private what so ever. I'm pretty sure if you asked them if they preferred coke or pepsi you'd not get an answer..but that's their genius.  What's not obvious but I find highly probable was his exit was planned from day one. Maybe not exactly when, and Gavis FBI meeting kicked his exit up a bit ..but they know the importance of no central authority more than anyone.  It's fun to wonder who they are ( I think Nick Szabo and maybe Hal Finney too) but I don't want it to ever be revealed. It's not better for bitcoin if they are.

Don't push yourself to hardly find someone that doesn't want to be found.

That's why Satoshi made himself anonymous or a mystery because he wants bitcoin to grow without even making people know his identity.

Instead, we should focus on bitcoin's growth and its importance because if we look for the true identity of Satoshi, we will just waste our time to find the truth. There are already a lot of people who are claiming to be Satoshi for the sake of fame, credits and money, so it is hard to believe someone or a certain article these days.

Satoshi Nakamoto didn't want his identity to be known by the public. there was no point in wasting time trying to figure out Satoshi Nakamoto's identity.
