Every Bitcoin client is (or at least should be) a random private key generator. If you are looking for a program, that only generates private/public keys look for Vanitygen.

There is a project called LBC (Large Bitcoin Collider) that does something similar.

From what I read somewhere, there is an account dedicated to satoshi with 5 platinum coin under his name
But whether he still use that account or not I am not sure

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2146520.0  for explanation.

Hearn was hired by the CIA to disrupt Bitcoin, just after they killed Satoshi.

Wow, and I thought it was Gavin.  Roll Eyes We know Gavin was invited to speak with the CIA and when he told Satoshi about his visit, Satoshi went silent. I guess he figured that Gavin was either working for the CIA or he was turned by them and that they are going to hunt him down. < During that time, people were prosecuted if they created any form of money that were not approved by the government or Reserve Bank >

He made a public announcement that he will be moving onto other projects and we never heard of him again. ^hmmmmm^

Gavin was hired, too.

Apologies for quoting the [long] OP since nobody else had to date. Nice write-up, bud. Almost puts my James Simons theory to rest, but I can still see him backing Bitcoin's creation, using Mike and perhaps Hal and Nick Szabo as the voice of SN, the latter, NS, being the main voice.

Why apologize for quoting? Why would you feel the need to quote it too? I don't care that you did, just curious why.

Link to your theory? I am always interested in other peoples ideas of who Satoshi could be. I don't know who James Simons is. I have never come across his name. I definitely think Hal could be involved with Mike. Nick Szabo definitely has the same missing online presence as Mike Hearn during Satoshi's online life. However, I am not convinced Nick Szabo was involved. If Szabo created bit gold before, why would he originally call bitcoin electronic-cash then change it to Bitcoin? I believe Nick probably would have called it that from the beginning or not called it that at all since it does sort of link the 2 projects together in name.

Also, I think it was Wei Dai or Adam Back that said Satoshi had no idea about Nick Szabo's bit gold. This definitely makes sense that Satoshi would change the name to Bitcoin after he discovered Bit Gold just months before Bitcoin was released.


I apologized because it's a long OP. I quoted it mostly for my records, having nothing to do with any other reason.

I still think that James Simons put the team together with Nick being the public-facing voice of SN. The team was, and is well paid for their NDA. At the same time, Steve Bannon was working with Brock Pierce where they just got U$65M from Goldman Sachs. Speaking of, how many Sachs dudes make up Trump's cabinet? Don't forget, Robert Mercer was instrumental in getting Trump elected. Simons and Mercer are no friends with the Federal Reserve. Breitbart News publishes Bitcoin/crypto related articles on a regular basis, with all articles first approved by Rebekah Mercer.

The above is just a teaser for my book that'll come out in 2028.  Tongue

That Brock Pierce, who is known to like pool partys with underage boys? I'd buy that book. Keep writing, Bruno.
But I will wear a tutu if Mike Hearn is Satoshi Nakamoto...

According to the Banking on Bitcoin film which it diffused on netflix, Satoshi nakamoto is a anonymous person  or maybe group of people, He talked with Gavin Andresen which it's a member here on bitcointalk, but after a period of time satoshi disappear, and he never reply to Gavin anymore.

So i think it's too bit hard to search who is satoshis nakamto and where he live, and why he don't like to show himself to the world?


Damn. I regret I used the show/hide feature.

Truly interesting topic, I did not know that Satoshi had an account on bitcointalk and even more than he was the creator ... Are we really sure it is indeed him? Forum administrators may have access to payments since the summer posted messages in their statistics? This would break many rumors!

LOL@U for having a legendary rank.

Yes. Just like it survived the other 1000 Altcoins.
732  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin core and linking transactions? on: October 22, 2017, 09:28:45 AM
I was reading this    https://stratisplatform.com/2017/03/02/stratis-breeze-wallet-redefines-financial-privacy-for-blockchains/    where Adam Fiscor is quoted saying


Quote
“Everyone who is not using Bitcoin Core has already had all their addresses linked together by third parties. This is not a theoretical “assume the worst case” strategy, this is reality. The third parties are either the central servers your wallet relies on or in case of SPV wallets all Blockchain surveillance companies.”

Why is this not a problem for Bitcoin Core?

To me 'all their addresses linked together by third parties' makes absolutely no sense.

Edit: I can only imagine he is talking about SPV wallets and their reduced security. We need to trust them about the legitimacy of the blockchain data it provides to the user. But still they don't 'link together all their addresses'

736  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vocabulary on: October 17, 2017, 02:14:48 PM
I am actually getting a grip on some of the terms used here. So far here are the terms I am familiar with:
1. Volatile - swinging of prices in extreme ends or prices suddenly change?
2. Fiat - usually refers to paper money
3. Altcoins - coins aside from bitcoin

Can you share some of the terms you know? It would be a very big help to widen each others bitcoin vocabulary.
Thank you very much!

heres some

 Shitcoin - coins with broken blockchain
 Shills - who promotes shitcoins
 Noobs - a seasoned crypto trader
 PoS- proof of stake
 PnD (Pump and Dump)
 FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out
 FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
 Whale - big player in trading
 HODL - hold on to dear life , simply means dont sell

I marked the nonsense in bold. Find out by yourself.

...The more times you try, the more likely it becomes to roll a 6.

Dice have no memory. The chance to roll a 6 is the same at every throw. So it is NOT more likely to throw a 6 the more times you try.
738  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WTF is Bitcoin? on: October 17, 2017, 06:28:40 AM
Will the bitcoin replace the Gold? If there is A war coming everyone will run to the Bitcoin instead of the gold?

Cheers

Consider this scenario, there is a nuclear warfare and almost everything is destroyed something like fallout situation. Then decide which currency, BTC or gold, will still be surviving.
It's obvious, gold. BTC is nothing without digital technology, without internet it's nothing but few hashes. In a apocalyptic situation BTC is not a good option.
without internet  many business will collapse. 

In an 'apocalyptic situation' gold is worth almost nothing, but you'll be paying a fortune for a glass of water.

Most of the kiddies I know, have nothing to do with Bitcoin and most people that invested are 40+.

What are we considering a kiddy? I mean im 24 and I would agree most people my age have zero idea what bitcoin is, but also most people in their 40s have no idea what it is either. If we take it a step futher I would claim but people my age and in their 40s dont even know what the S&P500 is. The vast majority of people are terrible with investing knowledge.

I'd even go a step further: 40+ people are the ones holding the biggest part of the Bitcoin cake.
