I think he is moving to a simple life as he already had enough money to enjoy for the rest of his life.



With his btc owned, he can live financially free so he could already be satisfied with his wealth.

Satoshi clearly enjoyed hacking in it's truest and purest (MIT) sense. People who do amazing things do so for the pleasure of doing them. Many people who discuss fame will say that fame isn't the goal.

Very interesting, but lol.  It's like asking the person who invented sex what other things he's moved on to.

Seriously, I can't imagine anything Satoshi can do that would top bitcoin.  Even if he has a million good ideas from now until doomsday, he could always rest on his laurels knowing he invented bitcoin.  It's really a shame that there's no Nobel prize for computer science, although the creation of bitcoin might qualify for the economics prize...tho awarding it might present somewhat of a problem assuming Satoshi's identity remains unknown.

Satoshi is an exceptional genius, the Beethoven of our time. Bitcoin will lead to a new Renaissance, like the printing press and the florin standard did in their time. He clearly has wealth outside of btc and is probably working on some unrelated database or something.

Well time to get out your old wallets its kicking off again.

https://x.com/adamamcbride/status/1734970434075123931?s=20

Discord link: https://discord.gg/QjStXDCQ

The explorer says Block 1 is on Dec 6th of this year:

If I had an old Bellscoin wallet I could use it and my coins would be there?

It would be nice to see old network started up again. Anyone knows how to do that?

So logically just someone with an old Copy of the Chain should start his Full-Node again and start hasing on it, normally it should be that longest chain if not waited to long  Huh Cheesy

good question, it was restarted on Dec 6 since noone had the original chain. Perhaps there will now be two incompatible chains, the original and the new one, as the blocksize wars predicted.


Agree 100%, this project should be revived with the original blockchain copy, not a fork.

Indeed it appears that the original software on gdrive is the one that adam is sharing. 2022 timestamp with the gdrive link:

The bitcointalk link to the Wallet software and dll (9 files) is infected with a virus.

The link is dead now.

startcoin is tradable on btcpop.co

Why is it not on coinmarketcap ?

It is at 0.0002 dollars now :-)

6  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanity Pool - vanity address generator pool on: June 30, 2023, 08:45:57 PM

Won't vanity generators it make it easy for people to steal funds?
No, no!
Let me explain, this is the satoshi's wallet that holds 72 Bitcoin: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
I have a VanitySearch and use RTX2060. If I were to try to generate exactly that address, the situation would look like this:


Here you see that hashrate of 951.41 Mkey/s takes 3.37637e+31 years FOR 50% chance to generate that address. Now, multiply 951.41 Mkey/s to whatever number of RTX 2060 GPU you want and then tell me what gives you a hope that by creating a pool, you'll be able to crack addresses. Chances are almost non-existent.


Ok ok! I thought that the vanity pool website was people selling the vanity addresses (which would make it trivial to steal funds!), but I guess they are just showing them off.

I found a good answer here:

No new messages since a while, has anyone used it in 2021 ?

The Pool should still be up, haven't heard of anyone complain about it in awhile.

Where are the archives of the original bitcoin-list@sourceforge.net?


Hello @OP, SourceForge.net no longer maintains an archive of the bitcoin-list mailing list. However, an archive of the mailing list from its early days in 2009 to mid 2013 is available on the Narkive website. You can access the Bitcoin mailing list archives on Narkive at the this IRL.

https://bitoin.narkive.com

The narkive link does not work.

I realized that they are all already archived on in various places:

https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/posts/

I highly recommend the book of satoshi by phil champagne (it's a great overview of how bitcoin works)

I did find this interesting analysis of the early bitcoin-list posts:

11  Other / Meta / Re: We should have a "who is satoshi" subforum on: February 23, 2023, 08:23:50 PM
Why do you think that such subforum is needed? We all know that Craig Wright is Satoshi. Ok, now seriously, this question appears on Bitcointalk sometimes, but such board isn't needed at all. You think that's Robert Tappan Morris, other people have different predictions. But what's the point of it when nobody won't be able to prove that they're right. It's just pointless speculation.

I've been reading the book of satoshi by Champagne. Starting to think he is of british origin, nz, or australian. IE: Referring to an apartment as a 'flat'.

On a tangent, where are the archives of the original bitcoin-list@sourceforge.net?
12  Other / Meta / We should have a "who is satoshi" subforum on: November 02, 2022, 04:21:23 PM
We should have a "who is satoshi" subforum, since it comes up so often.



Personally I think it could be Robert Tappan Morris Jr: Made the first internet worm - 1988.

His dad is an NSA encryption researcher.

If stylometric analysis was possible to be done with source code, we could do it.

I did this years ago, I would mine crawl through abandoned computers for stuff, not nefarious, just curiousity. Now I need to start doing this again, with a batch or vbscript that can search a drive letter for wallet files.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Roger Ver, Erik Voorhees and Vitalik Buterin Join KryptoKit in Ownership Roles on: August 23, 2022, 01:46:07 PM
Buterin is the cofounder and head writer at Bitcoin Magazine, and is also involved in a number of Bitcoin software projects including pybitcointools, multisig.info, the Bitcoin private key secret sharing utility btckeysplit and a fork of BitcoinJS. He is also a heavy supporter of "cryptocurrency 2.0" applications such as user-issued currencies, on-blockchain identity systems and decentralized exchange, and is now actively working on developing an upcoming next-generation cryptographic consensus network known as Ethereum.

Consensus protocols like Proof-of-Stake (PoS) have been proposed to address this challenge. However, these protocols have compromised the fairness by discouraging the ?poorer? participants and allowing ?richest? stakeholders to have full control over the generation of blocks.

Seems a bit stupid if you send out a phishing email, with no phishing link in it  Roll Eyes  Huh

That's because it's not a phishing email.

Could someone please confirm that the forum hasn't been hacked and that someone isn't capturing our new passwords. I don't use this password anywhere else, but I still would like to know.

And where is the valid bitcointalk.org pgp signature?
16  Other / Beginners & Help / computer repair for bitcoins? vpn service? on: January 01, 2014, 06:11:33 PM
I am thinking of doing computer repairs in exchange for bitcoins. what do you think? It would be only for software eg. virus cleaning etc... not for hardware replacements. it would be in my spare time.

msg me if you're in Atlanta and would like IT services in exchange for bitcoins.

I am going to set up a Vpn service as well but this will be trickier to setup as it would require a vhost/colo that accepts bitcoins. if I had the money I would setup my own hosting service with bitcoin.

I could have all of these services setup, all not linkable to me! Now I understand bitcoon more, it a completely new economy.
