This seems to be one of his probable address
It still have 50 btc from 13 jan 2009 , i.e. 10 days after the first Genesis block was mined
Block number 264
https://blockchain.info/address/1CFBdvaiZgZPTZERqnezAtDQJuGHKoHSzg

Just thought to share it with you guys :)

EDIT:
Found some more
So this is the Genesis block

People have tipped into it for goodluck it seems :D

EDIT :
IT might belong to Hal Finney, as he said

When Satoshi announced the first release of the software, I grabbed it right away. I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run bitcoin. I mined block 70-something, and I was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test. I carried on an email conversation with Satoshi over the next few days, mostly me reporting bugs and him fixing them.

What if another individual owns that address and forgot that he has 50 btc lying in there? Lost privkey are some of the issues why there are coins sitting around some addresses that cannot be recovered.  :(

That might be the case, that's why i said probable
Genesis block was mined on 3rd jan and 1st block on 9 jan
How much people may have joined in 4 days ?
It might just be some team members which he had

Never saw the word probable sorry. :D It can be one of his teams though, seeing that it appeared near the genesis block.
Do you think someone still have some access to it? If the privkey was lost, then maybe it's goodbye 50 btc.

Hal finney was hashing as of block 70-> and he said he forgot about them first lot...

and back in those first few days of botcoin-qt 0.01 it was still alpha test stage and no one was considering them to have real value.. not till the imfamous bitcoinPizza event. thats when hoarding and trading really started

People give to each "object" a value, and bitcoin has a big value not only in dollars. You are right, in the first days *bitcoins* were only a set of numbers that grew . . . nobody thought that it would have a great success.

Its funny to see people sending coins to those addresses just for fun. More bitcoin wasted.
Here is another thread from the past about his coins;
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=175996.0

The great question is:
will these bitcoins ever move or not?
Is he/she (are they) still alive or what?

We'll see maybe...

Interesting, why you decided to post this one?

Hmm CFB = satoshi , case resolved http://nodownloadzoneforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/Asd.gif.

That was easy!

:D

Hmm.. Even if it was his, we would never fully know.

I just dont understand he can make something like this, and then just leave bitcoin.

He might have... He might havent.

We dont know.

There is no way for us to know who he was, or what are his addresses. And even if we could, why would we want to know,
lets respect him enough not to pick around on what he may or may not own. He have us something awesome, lets be greatful for that

cheers

The death of hal finney was a really big loss the the community , he was a great guy , i read of him before as how he was going up with satoshi and about how he mentioned satoshi to be a yound and hard working guy

LOL hahah
than is that yours?

Nope! CFB = come-from-beyond
:D :D

who is satoshi
?

is creator btc system? or?  ???

We never know , as it's said , he has left his coins as they are for now , so am sure he won't be leaving them in one place but some many places , so it might be just lying around as one of them .
I remember seeing a post where "Satoshi sent himself some satoshis" :D after the genesis block


We all do respect his privacy but it's just awesome seeing how such old coins are lying there, as i have been interested in some POS altcoins before , i was thinking how much would it stake if BTC had POS :D

He is the creator of bitcoin who designed everything , it is unknown who he really is .
you can see his profile in here

Though it is believed he lurks the forum in some other name
You can read this wikipedia article for little more info
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto

No I meant that Cfb(come-from-beyond) = satoshi // just kidding , it is only a coincidence.

Nice info.

I sent an email to satoshi, hopefully he responds  ;D

He is satoshi ? :O
We never know :D

No I sent it to his original email address satoshin@gmx.com.

They say that it's likely it's hacked though.

Lol. good luck with that
Do let us know if you hear back though it's very unlikely

Yea it is extremely unlikely, but on the news they said that satoshi actually replied to an email.

Dunno who it is who sent the email though

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=775174.0

It got compromised long ago

Yup, meanwhile poor newbs don't get any tips.

LOL, people are tipping to his address as good luck :D :D

Yeah I know. At least I can troll my friends saying "I got an email from satoshi!"

People are tipping for blockchain advertising or hoping that satoshi will send them back some chips.

Yup people tend to check these addresses because they are famous and embed messages with their stuff for marketing.

How can you do that?

As it seems , they are doing just for good luck
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=70553.0

but yes some just try to put up poblic message
For instance , you could go to blockchain.info wallet and go to custom Then just add your message to it !
The message will be at top as long as no one else sends a transaction, even then it will stay down there
As you can see here
https://blockchain.info/address/1CFBdvaiZgZPTZERqnezAtDQJuGHKoHSzg
A public note saying :
As corporations kills each other trying to succeed in the name of profit, wealth, and greed is reasons why your minds eye will bleed. Peace on Earth when will we see? When this ends humanities free...

Lol. Good for advertising.

Why are we all of a sudden trying to figure out which addresses are Satoshi's?

It's not sudden, anything related to satoshi always catches interest , even if it's not satoshi's , these coins are way way old

i'm sure if bitcoin in that address start moving somewhere else, bitcoin world will be boisterous :D
and markets start panic because they think satoshi will dump bitcoin in his possesion

reading through the other people's comments, made me wonder if it is really one of the satoshi's addresses or just some early adopter who probably mined the 264 th block, got the reward in one of hos addresses and gave up bitcoin, since the price was too low.
if this is right we have a very sad person here who lost a great opportunity!

It might rather be the case if they move , but that might mean that he is onto something bigger too ;)


It might be true but as it was stated the genesis block was on 3rd jan 2009 , the first block on 9th jan 2009
and for some months satoshi and some other starters were the only one who mined , maybe people like Hal Finney

How do we know for sure these are Satoshi's old addresses? is there a way to tell?

No there is no way to tell if it's satoshi or even who actually own this
We don't even know if the guy who really owns this , remember about it anymore

Thanks for share. This is very old wallet, and looks like that addy not spend btc.
one of transaction come form "Twitter - DanMAbraham" satoshi friend ??? lol


~iki

This sounds about right. I think a lot of people like to speculate about satoshi but ...
Satoshi appears to want to be left alone and we should respect that.

Sending tips to Satoshi's addresses is like throwing pennies in a wishing well.

Yeah... That's what OP said.  :P

Not necessarily , as stated people are /were just tipping for good luck :)



Yep! totally agree with that and respect the privacy of our GodFather ;) , am just sharing a souvenir :D

Where are others Satoshi's Btc located ? It would be nice for bitcoin holders if your coins lost forever

It's just strange to think that Satoshi or Hall thought of those coins as we think of todays Satoshi's. {zero value}

It is sad that those coins are lost forever...  :(  ..... If I was Satoshi, I would send it to a account owned by our MtGox King... shift all the spotlight onto the bad boys of bitcoin. {Let them explain}

This will be one of the biggest unsolved mysteries of the world. {Why leave such a huge treasure?} ---> dubbed the "Million coin mystery"  ;D ;D ;D

It is possible that this address belongs to Satoshi , though it's not sure.
Even if it is , they might probably not have forgetten or lost them , they are just lying there .
Dormant

Just found something
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.0

the BTC addres might belong to Hal Finney , seeing how he says ,
When Satoshi announced the first release of the software, I grabbed it right away. I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run bitcoin. I mined block 70-something, and I was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test. I carried on an email conversation with Satoshi over the next few days, mostly me reporting bugs and him fixing them.


It's sad we lost such a great person and may be those bitcoins along with him
may he Rest in Peace :)

Anyone know how many addresses Satoshi may have (from the beginning), I mean is there any talk about the beginning days beyond the white paper?

I don't think someone does , but if you could find old address withing block 500 , i believe they belong to Hal or satoshi or maybe some else who took bitcoin in start

Sergio Lerner has spent more time and effort than is really healthy tracking down which Bitcoin addresses belong to Satoshi.  You can read his opinions, and his reasoning/methodology, here. 

https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/the-well-deserved-fortune-of-satoshi-nakamoto/

As best he can make out, Satoshi has something 1.14M bitcoins. 

As such, Satoshi has already made history, back when Bitcoin was poking its nose above $1000 per coin, as the first anonymous billionaire of the 21st Century.

But as far as I could tell, he only mined to secure the blockchain.  I don't think he has any interest in those coins.

I wish someone had an estimate of how many of those coins did satoshi sell.

Wow! that is amazing , thanks for the share man!
Though he mined to secure the blockchain at that time but we cannot deny that he have so much coins and they belong to him and seeing how great person he is , he won't just forget them , so he have them and is keeping them like a BOSS
Great :)

One day, when he becomes very sick of people misusing his creation, he will dump those coins onto the exchanges and flush the price of Bitcoin down the drain.

He will then donate all those earning to charity and "poof" ....be gone for the next 25 years.  :o

Those coins can do a lot of damage, and a lot of good at the same time.  :(

If he ever decide to sell those coins, it would be seen as the biggest pre-mine anyway... and that would just be a sad day.

i doubt if satoshi has ever sold his bitcoins. you are comparing satoshi with any altcoin dev who mines and dumps the coin. if he has ever spend any bitcoin i am sure it was for giveaways.

just thinking about mining 10k usd at today's rate every 10 minutes. 

I don't think he will become sick of people , he made bitcoin and if people use it for bad purpose, it's not his mistake .
People will always exploit everything , that's why it's said nothing is perfect.
Though if someday he comes with his coin to sell or raise market , that will be an awesome day to watch.


Yep! satoshi is the real deal ;D

And how are you planning to do that?

that's a lot of btc just wasted.

Why do you think they're lost? because he hasn't moved them? he also hadn't signed onto any of his accounts for years, til the Dorian incident, but he resurfaced for a moment...

odds are he's still got control of those keys, he just hasn't saw fit to do anything with them...

I also don't know why people think that the moment those coins move, there'll be a panic... Satoshi's allowed to transact like the rest of us. And doubtless he knows that he can't just dump all his coins at once...

True.
But still, if it is proved to be Satoshi's address and he himself drops the price down being the inventor, then I think there might be some panic and some newer lows might be seen through people thinking that Satoshi is out of the game and is no more interested in his own coin.

Yah. Maybe he still has the control over those coins. Needless to say that he's also allowed to move them at his will.

It makes no sense. Satoshi spent a considerable amount of time developing Bitcoin and would probably not destroy Bitcoins especially after it became much more popular.

He surely have the controls over his bitcoin , he is Satoshi .
Why would someone , especially him (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3) , dump alot of BTC .

Did I say he would?
I just said that if he ever does, it would affect the value of Bitcoins a lot as most people are always watching his addresses and everything related to him.

He's the creator of Bitcoin, silly.No one knows his identity.He might be a group or only a person.Many peole says that Satoshi is Japanese because of his name and that's Satoshi Nakamoto.

Oh I would hate to be that person. lol.

That person might probably be Hal Finney , as he state to be mining after block 70
If he didn't revealed it to his family or friends , yup! lost them

I know that I've got a script running in the background on my own computer that will text message me the instant any of Satoshi's identified coins move.  

I expect major market movements (I wouldn't call it a "panic" but yes, major movements) because right now the assumption (with various degrees of confidence) that Satoshi will continue to not move those coins is built into the pricing structure.  In fact I bet the Winklevii and their sort, who cannot possibly conceive of someone being uninterested in spending any of his vast wealth, have assumed that because he hasn't, he can't.  

I have assumed that either he has burned his keys along with the "Satoshi" identity (if you don't want to be outed, you leave no clues, including keys.) or has refrained from using them, partly because moving any of his wealth would risk disclosing his identity, partly because he knows it would cause major movements in Bitcoin, and partly because I think he's genuinely uninterested in personal wealth.  He was talking about what Bitcoin could do for everybody, not what it could do for himself.

He is not the kind of person who would ever "lose" keys, I don't think.  But yes, there is a distinct possibility that he has deleted them, on purpose, when he walked away.

First of all , what script are you using man! , can i get a copy?
Yes! there will surely be major market movements if the coins from Satoshi's wallet move but I don't think he has burned the keys , I don't believe in that people don't like Personal Wealth, Everyone does .
Though he may have refrained from using them but still i do not understand how would it(him using or moving his coins) would compromise his identity at all ?

hop in the delorean and mine with satoshi. pick up 50 btc every 10 minutes.

I'm thinking of joining your plan. Any Seats?
Though actually satoshi ain't mining as we know.
OR who knows may be he owns a big pool somewhere?

This is interesting topic. I have a feeling like in museum or somewhere I just can look to exhibition which is closed and is not possible to touch it, or use it :)
I can`t say if it`s funny or pitty. I have mixed felling about it.
Sure it`s good to have a look ... at least :)
