1  Other / Meta / Did Satoshi ever use a profile picture on bitcointalk? on: July 03, 2024, 04:07:19 AM
I was looking at Satoshi's profile and noticed that it had no picture, did he ever use a profile picture on his bitcointalk account? Did he have one previously and delete it? Although I guess he might have never had one because I think bitcointalk might have added profile pictures as a feature years after the site went live, or maybe that's gif profile pictures I'm thinking of and not regular images. Sorry if it's a dumb question but it's just something that just came to mind.
2  Other / Meta / Why did a mod delete my posts from 7-2 months ago that didn't violate any rules? on: October 16, 2023, 09:17:54 PM
I just got on my bitcointalk account and saw I had a bunch of messages saying a mod deleted my posts from 7-2 months ago. None of these posts look like they violate any rules so I thought it was odd. Is there any reason for this?
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Is there any verification that Phil Wilson aka "Scronty" made Bitcoin logo? on: April 14, 2023, 11:47:37 PM
Originally I was trying to find out what font was used in the solo "B" Bitcoin symbol/logo. Not the bitcoin logo with the word bitcoin spelled out just the logo/sign with the individual B. And not with the vertical lines through it I was just trying to figure out what font the basic letter B was in.

So anyway I kept searching and then I came across some articles that said this guy called Phil Wilson aka "Scronty" was the creator of every bitcoin logo and it led me down a rabbit hole. It is commonly believed that Satoshi created the first 2 logos and then someone called Bitboy came in and created the last orange Bitcoin logo that we use today. But Phil Wilson claims he was involved in the creation of the first 2 logos and then gave Bitboy the instructions and aided him in creating the orange Bitcoin logo we use today.

Bitcoin Magazine even states Phil Wilsons story as fact https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/the-history-and-symbolism-behind-bitcoins-logo and many other news sites do as well. (For those wondering it says the font of the Bitcoin "B" is Trebuchet font, that font looks like a match but if possible I'd like someone to make sure?) Phil Lawson also has a medium article here where he claims to be involved in the creation of the Bitcoin logo https://medium.com/@_Phil_Wilson_/bitcoin-symbol-and-logo-origins-5d428d40380 and he has a site where he claims the same http://vu.hn/bitcoin-symbol-and-logo-origin.html#the-symbol-workspace-with-images. The thing is on his website he claims to be Satoshi or more specifically part of a group that's called Satoshi. I don't believe he's Satoshi but is there any actual evidence that he was involved in the creation of the Bitcoin Logo? If anyone knows if there's any evidence backing up his logo claims please let me know because this is being stated in supposedly reputable news sites and I want to know if he actually had a part in making the Bitcoin logo.
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / What font is the B in the Bitcoin symbol? Not the lines just the B. on: April 14, 2023, 08:13:48 PM
I'm talking about the B here:
And the same B here:

I was wondering what the font used for the B in the Bitcoin symbol and logo is. I'm not talking about the lines in the symbol just the B itself. So what font is the B?

Also I'm not talking about the the logo where the bitcoin word is spelled out. I'm talking specifically about the solo B in the bitcoin symbol and logo.

I haven't seen the font used in the B discussed anywhere and lately I've really been wondering what specific font was used to create it. So if anyone knows the font of the B in the Bitcoin symbol/logo please let me know.
