Bought some silver over the weekend. First time in a while wit you guys. Thanks for taking BTC!

LOL, yes my robot says:
See you then!

Hey we glorify the wisdom and logical thinking of the ancient Greeks. Yet when they made important decisions they might consult a drugged out teenage girl at Delphi. So...

I'm glad I asked then. Maybe no tip is needed, but you earned one.

Thanks for posting this. It should be helpful for new users. Is the receiving address on your account still active? I want to send a small tip for your work. 

  That is spit-take funny man. I love the idea of an autistic oracle. Maybe he mumbles a bit then yells out $496!

My guess is that Satoshi chose to remain anonymous because of all the crap. Who would want to be Satoshi and deal with crazy people and their conspiracies? It might even be dangerous. I could see some deranged, paranoid user killing him to defend against alien invasion or secret society.
It is my sincere hope that Satoshi is never outed. There is no reason to care who wrote bitcoin. Everything Satoshi wanted to say was said in the source code. 

When I look at a chart I see a record of what has happened, not a record of what will happen. I wish I could know the future. My guess is that there is more growth before an inevitable market correction.

This is exactly what I thought 21 would be developing. The future of stuff like this is almost limitless. Here we see a way to pay a machine for service with no salesperson required. The next iteration will be machines paying other machines for service, something no one has been able to reliably do using traditional money. I think this is big news.

I was just kidding. And pointing out that the guesses here are just that, guesses.

How the hell would anyone here know?

The part I find weird is the raid on his house. Even if it is Satoshi, Why the raid? I think I read the cops saying it was unrelated to bitcoin. But the timing sure suggests otherwise. I can sure see why Satoshi would not want all this attention. It must suck to be famous.

Its a hassle to DL, but once your synced and the wallet just sits there doing nothing you may think of these as the good old days. lol

I totally agree. Math is proof, everything else is fakeable.

Satoshi has no more control over bitcoin than you do. It is possible that he has a large stash of coins that could be dumped and cause a temporary dip in price. But the network is beyond anyone's control.

This is not very elegant, but you could just keep a USB stick in your pocket with a wallet.dat file on it. Or even a QR code with private keys ready to load.   

What your saying makes sense. It is an analogy and they always breakdown eventually. But the work of Satoshi is what it, is no matter who he is. It would not change my use or view of bitcoin.
I guess we are all going to find out?

The days of mining with a home computer (even an epic one like yours) are over. This is what a bitcoin mine looks like today:



We have reached an industrial scale.

It's as big a news as Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee or Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn! And who the hell are they? ... It does not matter, that is my point.

I can't wait to steal a million dollars from these bank run systems.
