Why is there conflict between Sergio, jgarzik, and gmaxwell?
Why? Because, at the lowest level, there is always conflict between those who create history and the historians who make an effort to document it. I will make it simple. If I did not uncovered this data set yesterday, some else would have done it, surrounded by much worse descriptive words. What I did is not ingenious. Is the most evident method of data mining. The data was there at plain sight. I put all my effort in my blog post to calm the market showing the truth: that Satoshi or whoever mined them had not used the coins to distort the market, and I succeed, since the BTC price increased afterwards. Can you imagine how yellow journalism would have handled this information to discredit the coin ? So please stop blaming me for having uncovered Satoshi or whoever fortune: it was already uncovered. That's not the impression I got from the blog post, I thought you meant that satoshi DID spend money. Also, Satoshi's coins may now be valued at 100 million USD, however if Bitcoin hits mainstream where 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000351(and this is very inaccurate example) is your salary, imagine what having a million bitcoins would mean. It would mean he would have money enough to buy a continent and he could control the world. But by then, the majority of people will agree that at least 75% of Satoshi's coins have to be blocked from being valid in the chain. |

bitstamp scamms random ppl off
Huh? What makes you say that? During the boom I sold some coins there for ~$1640, I requested a withdrawal on the 10th, it was processed on the 13th albeit on Friday just when banks in my country close. I waited till today to be certain the money is here, and withdrew them. |

Actually there were some facts that are wrong. There are fees(and if you don't send, your bitcoins may never get included in a block), and it's not fully anonymous as the blockchain is publicly available.
And the flying car in the end is from The Jetsons.

Anybody else experience slow loading of the website? Takes 1-2 seconds to open a page, whereas this forum for instance is as fast as local websites, very low ping.

How do these graphs help identify him?

So I came across this video just an hour ago and decided to watch it to see how fast computers were in 1993, as I proceeded to watch, there were various guests on the show including some guy from Apple. However you would not believe who that person looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Uk_e0WHycSkip to 16:00. |

Speaking of that e-mail, I also found an old binary of bitcoin 1.3.0 which is from Jan 9 2009, I tried strings to see if I could extract some leftover data from his build environment, but the only thing that came up was MinGW 3.4.5. Really, the only way to find his true identity, is if someone who has had replies via his e-mail to view the raw headers and his IP should be there, unless he used Tor. |

Found the source of your problem  On a serious note, avoid chinese things, they are of very very low quality. |

hmm interesting coin, mining it now with 4Ghash  also FEATHERCOIN.INFO, FEATHERCOIN.NET and FEATHERCOIN.ORG are belong to us  pm me if you want me to start developing them It's scrypt based, not sha256. |

Hope you didn't move them to gox cause after their cooldown that wouldn't be much of a win
Close, I moved them to bitfinex for some lending to earn interest and possibly try to earn a bit by trading. But note I said again that is because I moved my coins from bitcoin-24 prior to all the problems, as users were saying SEPA took forever, i.e first signs of trouble. |

Yeah, I was only able to mine like 2400 or so..

I had like 5-6 dollars in there. I win again, as I moved my coins out of there like a week ago.

After everything, I get to the last steps and: ./configure: line 5901: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 5901: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.10.1, ,' you need libcurl.m4 placed in a pkg-config folder somewhere. |

Yes, OP made a big miscalculation and released it with this stupidly low difficulty...

I like how a person is depicted stealing virtual coins.

I don't think Vanitygen can switch the prefix for private keys. It can only do so for public keys i.e address. To create an address starting with 8, try -X 18, but it will likely not be valid for importing. More info right here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixes |

You know, Satoshi's mind about how these things should come together would provide great incites for the project here.
Challenges:
1) How to prune the blockchain correctly
2) What to do about centralized trading houses (ideas for a decentralize exchange)
3) Suggestions for improving Bitcoin PR
Who is this fucking guy to put so much time and effort into building something so well thought out and engineered to such detail, and then to fucking disappear and not even put up an occasional post with suggestions to improve the project? I'm starting to think that Satoshi may have been mentally unstable. Working anonymously ---> paranoid. Not checking in ---> greatly disturbed that things went in a direction he didn't anticipate and so he goes 'fuck it!'.
I think this fucking nut might have just deleted all those early coins he mined in a fit of rage, seriously, starting to think this. Most of those early blocks never moved. Many of those early guys just didn't think anything would come of it and deleted the client & wallet. But a lot of those early blocks GOT to be his. Maybe he mined about 1 million early coins (thoughts about how much of a stake he had). You mean to tell me when the fucking thing got to $250 and priced his 1 mil coin stash at $250 mil, he didn't unload a few million bucks worth?
Seriously, how wealth could this guy have been for not wanting to sell a little and greatly up his lifestyle by selling say 5%. It does not compute. I think the guy just trashed his wallet file in anger/paranoia that there would be some kind of backlash when they had wikileaks accept BTC. He put up that paranoid post about how it would attract all the wrong attention and then bailed.
Its either this or he suddenly died without leaving instructions to loved ones for taking procession of the coins.
Well that's my official Satoshi is fucked in the head theory! Hope I didn't offend the Crypto-Jesus disciples too much there.
This! There is no way he could just leave. Gavin did say that they communicated for a while after he left the board, but he is not revealing much, when he should. He even knows Satoshi's e-mail. |

You do realize in order to perform a double spend you need at least 51% of the network power.

Trying to scam us? these transactions are fake according to blockchain.info, and not just this one.
