http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1ztjmg/andreas_im_fundraising_for_dorian_nakamoto/Hi everyone, Andreas M. Antonopoulos here. I'm fundraising for Dorian Nakamoto, the person named in the newsweak article. I have no idea if this person is Satoshi, though it seems increasingly unlikely. However, it doesn't matter either way. If this person is Satoshi, then the funds are a small "thanks" and won't make much of a difference. However, if this person is not Satoshi, then these funds will serve as a "sorry for what happened to you", help with medical bills his family is facing, any legal bills they may incur, or anything else. Most of all, it serves to soften the damage caused by irresponsible journalism and to demonstrate the generosity and empathy of the community, which I know is huge Here's how it will work. I will collect donations to a single bitcoin address, posted below, with the following rules: Donations accepted until the end of March. At the end of March, donations will be converted to USD and delivered to Dorian Nakamoto. If the donation is rejected by Dorian, then the funds will go to a charity of his choice If he doesn't want to choose a charity, funds will be donated to the Electronic Frontier Foundation Any funds sent after the deadline, will be donated to Dorian at a later date, or a charity of his choice or EFF as above. After the end of March, I will make my best effort to contact Dorian and deliver the donations in USD. I will document as much of that process as possible to prove the donations were delivered, as long as that documentation does not affect Dorian's privacy. The blockchain will provide transparency of all funds donated, which will not move from that address until the funds are delivered to the intended recipient based on the rules above. Donation address: REDACTED Check the fundraising progress here: https://blockchain.info/address/ REDACTED EDIT: Find the donation address and the terms, signed by my PGP key, at the pastebin below http://pastebin.com/4MHvpaeN OK, it's worth giving  You are a scumbag for quoting the wrong donation address. I think funnynews should be immediately banned. |

So now Dorian is involved with bitcoins.  We're going to hook him up with Google Glass next to enhance his hobby.  |

|

oh, look.
it's the daily donation thread.
for a guy who doesn't care about bitcoin
Dude is a train guy, ergo... |

To be honest, I love this guy. To be, he doesn't look like he's off his rocker. If anybody decides to create a Darian Coin, please send this guy $50K USD one way or another to help with any hardships he's had or since has encountered. That's already underway thanks to Andreas Antonopolous: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=505581.0Thanks for the link, bud. I've donated. |

WHAT.....You are taking up a collection for a man that has millions of dollars worth of Bitcoins. That reminds me of the Big Banks bale out of 2009. Welfare for the rich.  Only because I wasn't crazy enough to purchase an ASIC-based bitcoin miner, that is why I donated. Just wanting to fit it. |

I just now found this thread and have donated. |

I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it
I find the second half of the sentence to be extremely odd. He either misspoke or the reporter heard him incorrectly. Can I just bump and pat myself on the back? http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/bitcoin-blunder-satoshi-nakamoto-denies-all-involvement-with-cryptocurrency-9176107.htmlAfter eating his lunch and sitting down with the reporter and a copy of the story Nakamoto said that one key piece of evidence from the story, in which he is confronted about his involvement with Bitcoin and responds, I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it, was incorrect, as he was only referring to his work in engineering Also: It all depends on how she phrased it/asked him. You know she wanted this story - badly.
The 4,500 word article was positioned as a flagship story to welcome the magazine back to newsstands after it ceased printing in 2012. She wanted this story REAL bad to make a name for herself. Too bad. Wasn't being a chick from Jersey penning about the pedophiles on the Island of Jersey not a big enough story for her? Surely, Princess Leah doesn't think that with her latest story that Max Kaiser is going to have her back on his show, does she? I stand corrected in 5...4...3... |

1st broadcast crew scene at the Bitcoin founder's house, now it's a press sidewalk party pic.twitter.com/zYeeuVWYYg
 We interrupt this broadcast to bring you the latest on Mt Gox. Via skype, we have Tibane, Mark Karpeles' cat.  This just in! Satoshi Nakamoto has been found. His real name is Satoshi Nakamoto. Reporting live, from the home of Satoshi Nakamoto we have...  Not the pedophile clip by the same reporter, the other one!  That's it! There's a press sidewalk party going on in front of Satoshi Nakamoto's house. I imagined this could be a real episode of South Park too haha With Heal Goodmen breaking the story of the creator of Darian Coin living in South Park. |

That's incredible, good to see you again Satoshi! What's even more incredible is that daily, people were chiming in, wishing that Satoshi would come back here and straighten up the current mess. The rebranded NewsBloid comes out with its first issue informing the world where to find him. Then, and here's were it gets really crazy, the Real Satoshi shows up to only say that the other Satoshi is an imposter. At some point, we were all sucked into the Star Trek episode, Mirror, Mirror, living aboard the ISS Enterprise, hence having not one, but two Satoshi Nakamotos among us. I'm not done yet. There's this guy named Tribbles on some Star Trek forum, also Powered by SMF--like this one--who just so happened to post a pic gleaned from the imposter Satoshi's PhotoBucket of train #2427, the last year Captain Sisko was in Roswell, NM, on the exact same date (maybe within minutes of one another, depending on local times) that the Real Satoshi mined the Genesis Block.   http://s297.photobucket.com/user/WagumaBher/media/EMDMP15AC2427Rtsuptopnice.jpg.html |

We need a Dorian coin now!
Was thinking the same thing with some proceeds somehow gleaned directed toward the Other Satoshi. |

Travis Boyd replied to Satoshi Nakamoto's discussion Bitcoin open source implementation of P2P currency
"Thank you for putting this into the world. It was needed. Were you acquainted with J Orlin Grabbe by any chance? " Hey, he might well have asked if he knew Sonny Vleisides. I just thought of something. Not a single Bitcoiner ever saw the body after JOG supposedly died. Quick, somebody call Leah. Looks like a scoop to me. And, who were those three original founders of Laissez Fair City that jumped off that bridge in Costa Rica? (true story, BTW) |

I find the second half of the sentence to be extremely odd. He either misspoke or the reporter heard him incorrectly. Or she lied. Can you tell me about your career working for the government? I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it |

I don't think so! Rumor has it that Goodman's next article will be about Mark Karpeles' cat, Tibane.  Not sure how it's related, but BitBrew will be running an ad on the same page as the article.  Meanwhile, somewhere in Utah, two Mormon brothers take revenge on their dad when they were grounded for not bringing the family goat home on time.  |

This answers my last question above. It's quite possible that Newsweek is now the new National Inquirer. |

How did this dude get the exclusive 2 hour dinner date with Satoshi? https://twitter.com/rnakashi He's been tweeting about Bitcoin for a while now. Yes, I'm behind, having mostly read only this thread and what was linked from within, plus a couple extra hops on my own accord. |

He is Satoshi guys, just deal with it.
If he's not then I know a reporter who's most probably going to be looking for a new career in the not so distant future.
You do realize that this isn't the Newsweek I grew up with, don't you? It's now a tabloid, about one notch above The National Enquirer. |
|

He gave two signs he is Satoshi.
"I'm not involved" ( but was )
"Free lunch" ( a typical libertarian expression )
And a getaway train. And a tootin' mother.  "Get your press sidewalk party off my lawn!" |
