- He is afraid of beeing found when he spends one satoshi
- He forgot his wallet passwords
- The harddisk with the wallets crashed
- He is dead
(Most likely in that order)
I think he would have more than one harddisk with the wallets. He's either dead or not deleted the keys, if he was going to spend the coins he would have already. it would have made sense to give Gavin a backup? lol .. who knows  That would have been a horrible idea. At the time that Satoshi left he really did not know Gavin that well and he had really not yet shown himself to be as trustworthy as he has shown himself to be today. Also it is never a good idea to give someone your private keys unless you intend for them to take/spend the bitcoin that the private key controls Satoshi must have planned for a scenario where his account access would transfer to someone trusted after his death. Like transferring a Gmail account where private keys are stored in 'Draft' folder. You can setup your Google account to be accessible to someone else in case you don't login for a specified period. I don't think satoshi would have trusted the security of google. I also believe that the threshold to allow someone to use an alternate method of accessing an account is small so satoshi would only need to not access his gmail account for a short period which would potentially give gavin access to the private keys before satoshi intended. Also google (and probably the NSA/US government) would be able to access anything in the drafts folder) I sighted Google account as an example of digital afterlife. Doesn't necessarily mean Satoshi used Google for this. The point is, there are methods to allow someone else to get hold of your data after your death - IF YOU WANT TO. So even if we assume Satoshi is dead, it doesn't necessarily mean that all his private keys are lost. |

It might drop down to 1000 if nothing happens for another month.
If you know and follow syntaks, you would know that price isn't the dominating factor for NEOS development. Price is just one of the many aspects for a successful crypto and if you read syntaks' posts here or on Twitter, you would know that a lot more is happening behind the curtains. |

What is the probability that the reason for the non movement of Satoshi coins is that the private key has been lost ( and what implications does this have?)?
I think Satoshi is too smart to have lost the private keys. He invented Bitcoin, remember? The only reason these coins have not moved is because he does not want/need to move them. |

Ghosts don't exist.
But souls do. I believe in reincarnation, so I tend to believe that soul is immortal and changes the body when body wears out. That's why some people remember incidents from their past life. |

The buying experience is nice. Sometime back I tested with a small amount and everything went good. BTC withdrawal was fast, too.
I am fully verified customer.
Yesterday I placed a larger order and the buying process went smoothly. I verified the withdrawal with 2FA, and it went through after a couple of hours. Could be faster, but it is within acceptable limits.

I seriously believe China wants to get hold of as many Bitcoins as possible by spreading FUD about banning BTC, and buying cheap coins at the same time.

Whether he is in control of the private keys or he lost access to them does not matter. As far as I believe, he will never touch those coins again in his life. He does not need/want to spend them for money and he also wants to remain as anonymous as possible.
I for one believe the total Bitcoin supply as 20mil, not 21mil. 1mil coins in Satoshi's stash are never going to see the light of the day.

Hello,
newbie NEOS supporter here. I really don't get why the price of NEOS is being deliberately held down. This is such a great coin and a awesome community/dev! I was so fed up with scams/broken promises/lack of communication and now it seems I have found a safe haven. Just started to buy NEOS and I will promote this coin heavily. I'm a victim of OctoCoin (I lost quite a bit of money), which had a great mature community and I will tell all the folks there to switch to NEOS.
Ssshhhh....! Just keep buying cheap NEOS like me and don't tell anyone... hehe! Huge success ahead  |

Never thought we would have official NEOS thread here after all those discussions on the official forum.
Glad it is here! Watching this space.

That's it, then! iGot just lost many potential customers! Nobody who is reading this topic should ever deal with this service. I don't know about Australia, but Indian users should really switch to Unocoin. |

Feeling generous - time for a 460,000 GRE giveaway.
The first 10 people to post to this thread with an idea for GreenCoin, be it a direction we should go or any helpful suggestions, will get 46,000 GRE. Just be sure to PM me your GreenCoin address.
I'll be sending this out at the end of the night. Only rule: No newbies! Must be at least a Jr. Member. Also, you probably shouldn't dump them if you want the coin to have value. Just saying.
AND GO.
I would like to suggest we consider going POS from POW. Greencoin stands for saving energy and promoting use of renewable energy sources. On the other hand we're 'using' (I'm not using the word 'wasting' because that calls for a greater debate) a lot of electricity just producing new coins. I believe this conflicts with our base goal. |
