Title: Is it possible Satoshi Nakamoto is an acroymn or neumonic? Post by: c5h3ris1253 on June 22, 2014, 04:45:24 AM I've seen a few posts about early emails on systems like bitcoin (Like hashcash) and am trying to bring up could satoshi possibly be the names of the people who satoshi based bitcoin off of? Obviously he was aware of these people's work, could he of used tricks they used and included a letter of their name in the alias?
For those of you who don't know what an acronym is S- Sander (or Szabo) A- Adam Back T- Ta-Shma O- xxxxx (Orange) S- Szabo (or Sander) H- xxxxxx (Happy) I- xxxxxx (Igloo) I don't know any more so I can't fill it out, maybe you can? Emails that brought up the question: marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=95280154629925&w=4 marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=95280154629912&w=2 There are more on that page, also use your own knowledge. Anyway, enjoy your day. Just thought I'd bring something that'll keep you busy for the rest of your life. EDIT: I DIDN'T MAKE THIS CLEAR, THE PEOPLES WHOS NAME ARE IN THAT ACRONYM ABOVE ARE ALL PEOPLE WHO'VE DONE WORK ON CRYPTOSYSTEMS LIKE BITCOIN. Title: Re: Is it possible Satoshi Nakamoto is an acroymn or neumonic? Post by: bigasic on June 22, 2014, 04:49:13 AM I don't think we will ever know who Satoshi is.. At least he/she/they want to tell. I personally believe Satoshi is a group of people, but there is a leader who posted the questions, etc at the beginning. What would be interesting to find out is if the person that posted here as Satoshi, did it come from one ip address? or from one area?
I think its going to be a mystery for a very long time... Title: Re: Is it possible Satoshi Nakamoto is an acroymn or neumonic? Post by: waldox on June 22, 2014, 05:35:44 AM satoshi is a common japanese name
he wanted anonymity so that would be a good name to use Title: Re: Is it possible Satoshi Nakamoto is an acroymn or neumonic? Post by: Brooker on June 22, 2014, 09:46:48 AM It could be an acronym or something but I think people are looking too much into what is probably just a pseudonym he picked.
Title: Re: Is it possible Satoshi Nakamoto is an acroymn or neumonic? Post by: SOAD on June 22, 2014, 09:53:28 AM What about this:
I'm inclined to lean toward the following reason: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/11/mf_bitcoin/ Quote When they weren’t busy mining, the faithful tried to solve the mystery of the man they called simply Satoshi. On a bitcoin IRC channel, someone noted portentously that in Japanese Satoshi means “wise.” Someone else wondered whether the name might be a sly portmanteau of four tech companies: SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, and MOTOrola. It seemed doubtful that Nakamoto was even Japanese. His English had the flawless, idiomatic ring of a native speaker. Title: Re: Is it possible Satoshi Nakamoto is an acroymn or neumonic? Post by: rext on June 22, 2014, 09:53:38 AM or it could be his real name hahaha
Title: Re: Is it possible Satoshi Nakamoto is an acroymn or neumonic? Post by: Brooker on June 22, 2014, 09:54:46 AM That SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, and MOTOrola thing is cool, but again I just think people are looking too much into what is just a name.
Title: Re: Is it possible Satoshi Nakamoto is an acroymn or neumonic? Post by: Ludi on June 22, 2014, 09:58:25 AM I just think it's a pseudonym but maybe he picked it because of the meanings behind the name:
http://www.coindesk.com/information/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto/ “Satoshi” means “clear thinking, quick witted; wise”. “Naka” can mean “medium, inside, or relationship”. “Moto” can mean “origin”, or “foundation”. Those things would all apply to the person who founded a movement by designing a clever algorithm. The problem, of course, is that each word has multiple possible meanings.

Those things would all apply to the person who founded a movement by designing a clever algorithm. The problem, of course, is that each word has multiple possible meanings. I tend to go with this. I believe it's a pseudonym but just one that a bit of thought went into to make it a bit more mysterious. Title: Re: Is it possible Satoshi Nakamoto is an acroymn or neumonic? Post by: SOAD on June 22, 2014, 10:22:19 AM I think he just wanted people to build up conspiracies and theories behind the name. I think he's playing with us. I would like to know more details about him though.

Post by: zimmah on June 22, 2014, 11:05:46 AM I think he just picked a common first name and last name from a country he likes. In this case japan, and mixed them.
I doubt there's anything behind the name, as he seems to value his privacy he wouldn't leave clues to trace his identity. Title: Re: Is it possible Satoshi Nakamoto is an acroymn or neumonic?

It is unlikely that Satochi Nakamoto is his real name although Satochi or Nakamoto could somehow be linked to his name or be part of his name. Like BTC addresses his name can probably somehow be linked to his real identity but the name itself is not his real identity. Like linking a BTC address to a real identity a certain amount of analysis must be done and the analysis must be done at the proper time. I think that if one was to monitor the network nodes at the time when Satoshi was mining bitcoin then it would have been possible to determine what his IP address was, this information is likely to not be available now. I think that it would not be unlikely that Satochi represents one (or more) company(ies) as it was claimed that work was started on the Bitcoin protocol in 2007 and the white paper was not released until late 2008. I do not think that Satoshi could have ever imagined how big of a sucess that Bitcoin could become (to date) so he likely did not put as much effort into hiding his identity then he otherwise would have. I would not be surprised if Thermos and other major Bitcoin "players" know who Satoshi really is or at least more about his then what is publicly available.
