Discussions are censored by single persons who have their own agenda, news sites mix their editorial news with paid content, opinions of some key figures are shaped by $$$ and not necessarily in the interest of Bitcoin.
I think the centralization of communication is actually a big problem for Bitcoin because it scares away many serious potential investors.

/r/Bitcoin used to be the place to go. Now it's heavily censored, and therefore pointless.
/r/BitcoinAll/ is a good overview of the main topics of most related subs

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_NakamotoThat page make me very curious, how can bitcoin wiki suppose the birth date of Satoshi since he is an anonymous person/group? But whoever satoshi is, he has helped our life to escape from high tax and regulations by government  I guess he mentioned it in some post, or it was the that he used when he registered somewhere. Ignore it, it's probably as real as the name S.N. |

Who is Sirius, aka real name?
sirius = Martti Malmi, second Bitcoin developer after Satoshi |

Well, as long as you don't take that offer, I'll leave some negative trust for you.
Good idea. I also did that. Of course, she won't do that because she can't. Instead, she started another thread with her nonsense. The quality of this forum is too often between madness and entertainment. |

@Roselyn
SN is definitely an economist. Or at least very educated.
As an economist he knows that if there's money to make, there will be greed.
The world isn't black and white. And greed isn't necessarily bad. Greed creates innovation and thrives adaption.
It's even not true that there's just greed. You find a lot of idealists in the Bitcoin community.
The inventor of a pseudoanonymous digital currency also knows that this will be used for criminal activities.
Just look at the history of alternative currencies (e.g. e-gold). We can be sure SN knows about all of the predecessors and similar projects.
When you claim SN didn't expect this or is disappointed in Bitcoin's development you make him look stupid and naive. Actually, you're insulting him.
We can assume SN isn't that dumb and knows very well about the disadvantages and risk that come with something like Bitcoin. As long as the advantages are bigger, and I believe they are, this isn't even a problem. And I believe SN thinks so, too.
Conclusion: you're a liar and attention whore, and a poor spoke person and writer because you still make too many mistakes.

Those who want to know Satoshi Nakamoto, can ask me any question about Bitcoin Technology and about Satoshi Nakamoto. I will answer all your questions.
Well, mrs spokesperson of Satoshi Nakamoto, can you please ask Satoshi to instruct the current core devs to get some fucking consensus already about the whole block size debate, pick one solution (at the flip of a coin, if necessary) and stick to that, instead of risking Bitcoin to be split into 2 altcoins? Personally I'd say: increase max block size to 2Mb in the near future, and increase the limit with 50% every 52596 blocks (≈about 1 year). But any of the proposed solutions currently being discussed is WAY better than ongoing debate and no solution at all. I agree. This ongoing discussion and risk of having 2 alt coins is dangerous for the future of Bitcoin. 2mb sounds like a reasonable decision. Unfortunately, according to mrs spokesperson, Satoshi Nakamoto might be more concerned about the interference of the Organized Criminals, Gremlins and the greedy hijacking Aliens. Oh, and don't forget about the mysterious Phenomenon.
Those who want to know Satoshi Nakamoto, can ask me any question about Bitcoin Technology and about Satoshi Nakamoto. I will answer all your questions.
Can you please tell his real life name? Thanks |

I agree, the idea is more important than the creator itself. However, people will always want to know who did it, and it's also not completely irrelevant. Satoshi holds ~1 million Bitcoins and that gives him a lot of power about the future of Bitcoin. There's a risk if one man (or group) has the potential to destroy his own creation, or can control a major global currency (in case Bitcoin goes to the moon). Sure, but difference would it make if we find out his real name is Jonathan Dough, or Neil O'Connor, or Salomon Fitzgerald? Not the name itself is relevant but the person behind that name and what they stand for. I would think different of Bitcoin if it is created by some government organization, or a multi-national corporation, or Nick Szabo or whomever. I like to know the agenda of the person who might one day own 5% of a major global currency. Humans are curious by nature, so the search for the real person behind Satoshi will anyway never end. |

One of my favourite candidates has always ben Jim McCoy. He has everything that it takes to be him. Here is him talking about a primitive decentralized cryptocurrency in year 2000
A very likely guess. His ideas of MojoNation include a lot of what we can see with Bitcoin. Why not stop this useless chase of someone who has done so much for us, and for the world, and who obviously prefers to stay anonymous.
Bitcoin is about the idea, not the inventor. Let's put all this energy in further spreading the idea instead.

You Must Know Who is Real Satoshi Nakamoto.
No, I do not know, that's why I wrote "potential candidates" in the thread's headline
Satoshi Nakamoto is a Macro Economist, a mathematician, a digital scientist and social engineer. You all hackers have victimised him very badly and continuously attacking him for your own safety....Satoshi Nakamoto is not a Japanese man but he is a British Commonwealth Citizen. A South Asian British Digital Scientist. Who invented Bitcoin in May 2007 in Croydon South London. You hackers have done a serious inhuman barbaric act to Satoshi Nakamoto

So, you're a writer, but your post is full of writing mistakes and you even don't know that a big wall of text is just horrible to read. Looks like a solid career choice. No one is attacking or insulting Satoshi. He gets glorified by most of the people and is praised as a genius. People respect his invention very much. Banks, paypal, credit card companies and governments probably not so much. Why don't you just tell us who you think it is instead of writing the same craziness over and over again? Honestly, you sound completely psycho. Usually, I appreciate every contribution to this thread. Some made interesting comments, others came up with funny jokes, but your post contributes nothing but useless bullshit. It's not even original. When compiling this list, I read many posts like yours. Unproven claims, conspiracy sounding manifestos and sensationalists announcements without any follow-up. It gets boring and annoying. Ok, I watched the first minute of your telecast. Now, I'm sure you are actually a comedian. I just don't get the funniness. |

I think Satoshi is behind Namecoin.
Hints:
- Namecoin's founder (Vincent Durham) is also an unknown person/pseudonym. Similar 'strategy' as for Bitcoin.
- Namecoin is the first fork of the Bitcoin software, (one of the) first alt coin
- Satoshi Nakamoto was in a discussion about a hypothetical system called BitDNS here on this forum in 2010
- Namecoin includes ideas/features that seem to be relevant for Satoshi according to his posts
I also wouldn't be surprised if Satoshi is also involved in Qora (will post another time why I think so).

Can I ask why Variety Jones is on the list?
He was a cannabis seeds seller on Silk Road, and apparently Ross Ulbright's mentor.
How did speculate that he could be Satoshi?
I don't believe it either. There are many other who sound quite ridiculous. I just put anyone on the list who got mentioned by someone in some forum and as long as it was not meant to be a joke. Someone might have thought that because of his brilliancy and mystery, he also qualifies for Satoshi. I don't see Al Gore mentioned?  He isn't SN. Proof: he would have named it Ecocoin. Wait what about that article that says he was found in California? Is that just an April fools joke or something? Or is it that we like to have our conspiracy theories regardless of the truth Well, for some, Newsweek is indeed a long lasting joke |

Look my mysterious person that holds all those bitcoins showed up.
Enjoy your wealth. I'm sitting here with Satoshi, having a laugh. Later, I have lunch with Ron Paul. You get real. How can someone have this must rage without any purpose. Get off your horse.
If you don't get it, doesn't mean there's no purpose. Here's some advice to you. Turn off the computer because it obviously enrages you like some chump on steroids and take your blood pressure medicine before you pop.
It's fun to see the reaction of people who just got unmasked. No rage at all. It's also interesting that you don't even try to invalidate my comments and just reply with concerns about my health. Little advice when you want to win an argument in a meeting or online: Stay on the topic, find errors in the other person's opinion, or just admit you're wrong. Switching topics is an obvious sign that someone got exposed. And if you can't admit your mistakes, rather be silent. You definitely should not try to distract the readers from with things no one cares about. We all know that you don't care about my health, I don't care what you think about my health. And the other readers on this forum care even less. Then, why mention it in the first place? I also got news. You were born into a world with no "proof".
"Hey look, I'm not only an attention whore. I'm also a philosopher." (If you want to be taken seriously, just check my advice above.) |

That can't be true for the obvious reason, that they just don't have the money to pay out in USD(I think, they pay in Yen anyways). They have 200k Bitcoin. So, if they want to pay in USD, they have to convert the BTC to USD, which will most likely be less than the price at the time of the bankruptcy filling.
I think right now no one knows for sure how much and which currency there exactly is. I'm sure Mtgox also had at least some fiat in their bank accounts. Maybe they also pay some in fiat, and some in Bitcoin. We will see. you know what this mean right? that i can purchase bitcoin with that amount, and having more then what i would have if i'd cashed out in bitcoin from kraken
because 80 usd are more than 0.2(around 0.35)
It's a bet. You decide now what you prefer, but you don't know the actual course when the payout is. If you choose fiat, and Bitcoin goes back to $1000 in the next months, it's a bad decision. If the course stays the same as today, it's of course better to choose fiat. |

I still don't really get the payout options.
So, if I tell them to pay me in BTC, do I get just the BTC(a fraction of it) I had on my account or to I get what they say to pay me(price from shortly after the bankruptcy filling) converted in BTC at the price of the day, I get the payout?
Second option wouldn't make much sense, if they did not already convert the BTC, they found(which they didn't do, as far as I know).
If I tell them to pay me in cash, it's the same basic question: What do I get? They would have to sell the 200k BTC at a most probably lower price, then they list in the claim.
And if I want cash, how exactly do I get this money?
As far as I understood, first they need to determine how much is left. Now, let's assume that 20% can be recovered. If you had 1 BTC and chose BTC for payout, you will get 0.2 BTC to your kraken account. If you had 1 BTC and chose $ for payout, you will get ~80 $ to your bank account (BTC/$ rate at time of bankrupt claim). Maybe, and this is also not sure right now, they will only refund in BTC, or only in fiat. Then, your preferred choice will be ignored and you get your funds in the currency as they decided. |

Well, no proof. The thread has been deleted from RPF. I have no idea why. Probably because the lead developer wanted to hide.
How convenient for trolling. All I have to say is his promise to me still stands that he would hold the coins and never spend them. I believe he is a stand up guy to even find me originally and give me some credit.
Why? Even he can't be sure it is you because you refuse to provide any proof. Even if this fairy-tale is true, you (OP) could just pretend to be this guy. I didn't really make the post to prove it to anyone as I have none. Moreso, I was hoping one of the lead developers preferably Satoshi would see the post. He told me to come to this board if I ever wanted the coins. So, if anyone knows any of the lead developers please relay the message for me as I never had contact with them other than the thread I mentioned and some PM's with one of the lead developers. If I sought your praise, I would have showed up here over 4 years ago when I was asked. I'm glad I never did gauging from the majority of these posts.
You should be happy that people are skeptical and don't believe anything. Wouldn't a world were anything is taken as true be a paradise for scammers? Trust can't be taken for granted on an anonymous forum. The same goes for you. Either you give some proof or accept that people don't believe you. Look around this forum. Lots of trolling, bullshit claims, jokes... How can someone know yours is legit? It would be too easy if everyone gets Bitcoins just because he says he deserves them. Please stop crying and don't behave like a spoiled kid. No one gives a fuck if you feel butthurt by some harsh words. Get real. |
