Bitcoin Forum

Does anyone know what email was used to create this forum?  BTC

What exactly do you mean by that question? Email that was used to register the forum as a website? Because I don't think that's a public information even if you look at the last post of satoshi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.msg28#msg28), you wouldn't see it. Most likely they've used an email that's prevalent in the tech circle at that time, maybe AOL or something.

Feel free to edit your post and ask again. If you're really sure your question, i'm afraid admin will tell you and its not a public info. Because why would someone will be interested to the email used to create the website or in simple terms, the email used to register the domain and hosting, unless..

gaysatoshi@gmail.com

Satoshi uses 3 email addresses, GMX, Anonymous Speech, and Vistomail email-address.

And if you read here: satoshin@gmx.com is compromised. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=775174.0)

Satoshi did not post on this forum. The forum was part of SourceForge before it changed to forum.bitcoin.org/XXX and then https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=XXX

Which forum do you mean?

Yes, the creator of the forum know that which e-mail address was used to create this forum. But, why do you want to know the e-mail that was used to create this forum? Are you into hacking or something, and you want to try your best to hack that e-mail so you can somehow manipulate the forum? Or you're asking this question out of curiosity.

I'm very sure that no one will tell you the e-mail of the forum even the ones who know it. If I'm not wrong then you're asking that which e-mail was used to register this domain name? If that's your question then you will again not get any answer due to the privacy concerns. That information isn't a public information and that's why it won't be shared.

I think there is a confusion. Satoshi did post on this forum, in the new forum back in the time.

You need to read this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.msg28#msg28

theymos would know. Why do you want to know?

Maybe I am misreading the way you articulated your point but I believe it was common knowledge that Satoshi posted in the forum after transferring it here from SourceForge. There are many posts from Satoshi that were made directly here and the post history (with date/time stamps) show that to be the case.

Bitcointalk.org didn't exist when satoshi was active:

This is often brought up by a certain troll. In my opinion, it doesn't matter: "the forum" is more than just the URL, it's the entire post database and it's users, and that database was transferred to a new domain name after satoshi's last post. The users moved too, and some of the old users are still active today.

What do you care? It's obvious that you just want to randomly ask stupid questions and troll this place. Well if I can be of help, I think asking the admin himself would be a nice gesture @theymos kindly tell this user the email used for the creation of this forum .

Yes, If I'm not wrong then the forum was first moved to Forum.Bitcoin.org and then on Bitcointalk.org, a crawl of the old forum is available on WayBack machine on Archive.org and one can see that how the forum used to look back in 2010. Most of the members moved from both websites and finally settled down on this URL.

If I'm not wrong then Satoshi was part of this same forum but he wasn't present when the forum was shifted to Bitcointalk.org. The best thing is that all of the posts of Satoshi are present on this forum and that's more than enough for us.

 Sometimes the questions being asked here crank me up. It's funny that out of all the questions bei g asked this is the one to pop up from a newbie. What did I expect though? I wonder why he's asking, it would have been a lot easier if he replies. Maybe he wants to clone another forum where he'd claim absolute rights and/ or probably call himself the new Satoshi reborn?

You know what is much more interesting to me? The fact that Satoshi wrote that post on November 22, 2009, and the first answer was only on February 1, 2010. Was the topic locked or were some earlier posts deleted?

The post you referred to was written back in 2009. Probably it was on the same script (I mean SMF) but it was hosted somewhere else. At first, the website was moved to forum.bitcoin.org which is currently owned by Sirius where Satoshi has made this post. After a year, satoshi disappeared. After another year, on August 01, 2011, theymos were kind of forced to move this forum (http://)^[1] to a new host and domain which is Bitcointalk.org. In this sense, yes, satoshi didn't write any posts in this forum. Maybe he wrote in forum.bitcoin.org forum which later moved to Bitcointalk.org.

[1] Forum moved to bitcointalk.org (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=33393.0)

@OP that's an unnecessary question. what do you want to do with the email of this forum? try to hack in maybe?


Satoshi is not the owner of this forum anymore. I don't think current administrators of the forum would still be using the same email Satoshi used to register this forum.. or maybe they do. IDK.  ??? ???

Doesn't matter what email was used to create this forum, as far as I know it went from one hands to another.

It will not add weight if it is Satoshi, but as obviously he has left and this forum still thrive under Theymos and so that is good already.

At the end of the day when you would have achieve having numerous response on this, the question for you also now is that, what relevance has this got to do with you when you find out, what are you going to use it for, sometimes we get ourselves into unnecessary headache on this that doesn't matters when someone like you would have invested on more quality time on things that could be impactful about the forum or even bitcoin.

Ok, the question you asked is unnecessary. This is a matter of common sense because you must buy a domain for email and a host for site storage. Email will be used for these. How did you mean the question? Do you want to see the email this Bitcointalk forum site used or something else?

Actually, as far as I know, the forum was first hosted at the URL "bitcoin.org/smf/" at some point before the subdomain forum.bicoin.org was created.

You can find the oldest archived version from December 15, 2009 at the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20091215005450/http://bitcointalk.org/

Maybe it is "@bitcointalk.org" :).

Well, I read through the replies given on this thread by many but I do not see this question as inappropriate as many see it, you can have your reasons for that, or even just want to know out of curiosity or for knowledge. But for me, I do not know and I am sure that this is not in the public domain at all even as I helped you do some research about it as well.

This forum was created in 2009, and at that time, the internet wasn't like this, so people could do what they wanted how they wanted it even without having to go through some illegal means as we see today. It is possible that Satoshi used private emails, inexistent emails or no email at all.

I think that only the admin of the forum can shed light on this.

Don't you think this is rhetorical question? What email do you mean? If you want to know the answer to your question, I would also you to go and ask Satoshi Nakamoto about it, maybe you could get a quick answer from him. Moreover I hope you are not are going to ask me how to get to Satoshi because I am still thinking what could have prompt you to ask this question. There are many security agencies that had tried to identify who Satoshi was but could get to the bottom of the search for who he was. Just search the site for some interesting stuff, read and have a wonderful time her. Life is good when we have the fund to settle all bills!

Used where and for what purpose? For purchasing the domain name "bitcointalk.org"? For purchasing "bitcoin.org" (as the forum was under bitcoin.org/smf (http://web.archive.org/web/20091215005450/http://bitcointalk.org/) at first, and then under forum.bitcoin.org (http://web.archive.org/web/20110518165023/http://forum.bitcoin.org/))? For the dedicated server used to host this place? The Satoshi's email from Anonymous Speech was used to buy bitcoin.org, and it's pretty unknown beyond that.

A better question is: why do you want to know such a thing?

jeff garzik bought the domain and sirius(theymos) was one of the admins who then took over as head admin
garzik passed domain over through c0bra, then theymos after some time

Your question is not in good condition or you have to edit your post and rearrange your question..because your question is contradictory every concerning email, I don't even know if you are asking for the functions of email in anyone personal account or the email use for creation of bitcointalk website..the thing is confusing because, if you are asking for the forum email that means you don't know what you are asking but if you are asking for personal per account email that means you know what you are saying.

Interesting, I stand corrected on that  ;D

The OP must have had a reason to ask the question beyond curiosity but it really is utterly pointless. In my opinion the OP certainly does not seem to be new to the forum even though his rank shows him as newbie and that might explain why I came to that conclusion.

Keeping that aside, it is interesting to note how things developed in the early days from the forum being available on SourceForge to it moving over to the bitcointalk,.org domain.

Yes, I also think that OP isn't a new member because a new member would never ask a question like that, I'm sure OP is already an established member of the forum but he posted the thread via a new account because he might not want others to know that he's unaware about such information. I highly agree with your conclusion because it's most probably correct.

Yes, it's very interesting to know that a famous forum like this used to be hosted on SourceForge but back then I believe Bitcoin was also new and Satoshi might not have much funds to host this forum on a domain name and he may not be able to afford the cost of hosting or he was truly in favor of open-source that's why he hosted this forum on SourceForge back then.

But, the best thing we have is that the same forum has grown to huge levels this day and we are happy to be part of it. I think back then only few people might have expected that the community will grow like this one day and we will have a new domain name which members will remember by heart.

If that is really the case, the issue then arises about what motive the OP would have to ask this question in the first place. If the OP is an established member that has other accounts, I think part of the process (as we have seen many times before) is the puppeteer trying to build up the account. Keeping that aside, I think the OP should probably lock the thread.

Does this really necessary to ask will the mail used to create this forum helps you in anyway if I could asked? Checking from your account you should be reading some educative material to enable you understand this forum very well than asking what I think could not help you in any day.

When old members come to this forum to build another account, they ask all these questions to let everyone know that they are really newbies. It is difficult to know if OP is coming as an old member or not and we don't have any system to trace his old account. But it is true that it is not normal to raise such a question in the mind of a fresh new member, because it is normal for a newbie to know that account creation requires email but OP made it a question!

Funny, though, how that sounds 😏

But, if you were part of the creation of this forum, you should be aware of this information.
In turn, if you are really such an old member, why are you posting with a new account?

I think you're right again because it can be the case. However, it's better to lock this thread because letting it unlock doesn't make sense anymore. But, I have noticed that OP isn't replying on this thread anymore and that's why he may not lock the thread even if we suggest him.

Yeah, that's why I think OP isn't a new member because new members don't really ask such sensitive questions and they don't really need to know such information. I guess either OP is an old member which is most probably the case here, or the OP is someone who's trying to gather private information of the forum so he might does something wrong.

Most probably someone who might be an hacker and trying to gather such information via social engineering. If he's an hacker then I can say that he's probably a newbie hacker because someone with a good hacking background would never ask such naive questions.

It's funny that you claimed to be the creator of this forum but don't know what the email was for creating it. 

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5493499.0

However, it seems you had some bad intentions behind looking for the email that was used to create this forum or host it. Do you want to hack and claim you are Satoshi? Just curious.

I think He is more likely trying to bring another Satoshi drama base on this his thread here If I'm Satoshi Nakamoto How do I prove it? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5483719.msg63592566#msg63592566).

Let just forget about this guy, he is nothing but another bored troll, we know any of those old folks will not have to go through this kind of means to prove their authencity

He's just an attention seeking troll with obviously no purpose or good intentions in this forum. They always appear around when it's a bull market or when there is a nearing Bitcoin event.

His other post has even been deleted, lol.

Let's just ignore him.

Yes ignore the creator of bitcoin.  I AM SATOSHI NAKAMOTO.

I'm not trying to prove anything.  Atleast not at this very moment.  I would however like to get credit where credit is due.  If I made bitcoin when I was just 21 years of age and I'm now 38 what makes you think I was at my own personal best at age 21?  Do you know the human mind doesn't fully develop until the age of 25 for most males?  What do you think that actually says about me if I am who I say I am?  I was just a young engaged college kid.  I'm now a full grown adult with a huge basket of life experiences.  I've become stronger over the years both mentally spiritually and physically.  I'm just now beginning to code again and it's so easy I get bored with it.  Lol I hope you can hear the truth in my texts.  Either way it's blah to me.  Aloha to each and everyone of you.

For most males? Perhaps. But for some, unfortunately, it never develops. Like in your case, for example.


You are an idiot! You were an idiot when you were 21, and you will stay an idiot. I feel sorry for your loved ones, because they have to take care of an idiot.

I wouldn’t care any less, it’s not my place to worry over that.

Even my mail address on this account is hidden to ensure my privacy, why do I need to know what email or if an email was used in forum registration or not. These things doesn’t matter at this time.

What matters at this time is how you choose to use the forum and as far as curiosity goes, you might just be placing it in the wrong place with this thread. Focus on what could aid your journey in the cryptospace as a whole and not just the forum.

Bunch of winners in here.  Lol  You guys alright?  I'm here to stay.  Bitcoin is mine and always has been.

you can stay as you like. at least as long as your account is not banned.
develop your imagination and become an established adult. at least you're not dreaming from your long sleep.
People like you are usually given a long life, keep up your good prayers.

Another interesting point. OP, do you have notifications for the forum? Every time someone writes about a topic, you follow it responsibly. Anyway, this is a good trait. But maybe you can use your interest in the forum in another, more positive direction. Your second alternative account is probably not the kind of troll that you are playing here.

Yep! This confirms it. You are still an idiot, and you will always be an idiot!

OP is definitely trolling people here. Even if you use a lookup, it will show information redacted for privacy which only Admin can provide the email used to create this forum although people would still know what happened before bitcointalk is created like what forum name or url was used before. I would agree with you guys that OP will stay and always been a troll no matter what place OP is in either online or non-online place that OP will go.

hey, you remind me of this guy, BitcoinMoses (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=955818).
he is also a great person like you. maybe if you meet each other and start a conversation, you will be happy with each other.
it seems like there are more and more people trying to become Satoshi. I hope they are motivated, not depressed.

But there was no email address posted there and he only made mentioned of changing the old forum to the new one and and also said the old one could be assessed through the links he dropped there in the thread. And I don't know what and why the Op needs the email address Satoshi Nakamoto used to create the forum. And if the Op has access to that email, we don't know what will happen. We don't know if he is a scammer of a hacker.

Op should should channel his request to another areas that will look nice and not foe the forum email.
