I am pretty sure we cannot truly know the answer of who this person really is, but should we care? I personally don't; I just want to know their mind.

And I've already read it so, I just want to find out what the people of this forum think.

I thought I'd ask, considering what they have written, is it informative. What can we tell about their opinions and where could these opinions of emerged from?

Well this is Bitcoin after all, you can choose to not accept any coins funding terrorism there by limiting it's economy. The miners too can choose to not process transactions... the 51% rule abides there too. If the Network doesn't want it, It ain't gonna happen.

Probably not, I think we are all in agreement it's a pseudonym.

The Revolution will not be Televised, It will be streamed Live
Look at my next post for a summary

We are in a very large system, exchanging energy in it's various forms.

We exchange energy in the form of Bitcoins, Protect the flow of that energy, measure it, Research and Develop that energy, soon it will be the entire OpenSource community coming together to create energy chain security.

The entire view of our Energy ecosystem encompasses our Electric Power Generation equipment, Electric Storage Batteries, and the Efficiency of it's Production and Transmission; The Chemical Extraction of Energy counts as well, which is our ability to use Food Production to fuel our Minds ability to Understand and Innovate on our Energy Extraction Ability; including Gas and Petrol Energy conversion.

It costs Energy to create Bitcoins, this is demanded by the algorithm and in so doing it is measuring the willingness of participants to generate Coins in exchange for Proof of Energy consumed. Sometimes there is a diversity of designs which the market can decide upon to see which is producing coins at a lower energy threshold and still attain the security requirements and ex changeability demanded by it's users. The more innovative coins do useful things with that Energy, processing Scientific Simulations or completely go off the deep end and use the creative energy of it's participants to create Art, Music, Reviews, etc, these and the merged mined coins are the most efficient at measuring their respective functions thanks to the massive Brute force of the Bitcoin Network that allows them to put their efforts towards useful work.  

Bitcoin's Value is in it's security which it provides to all coins that use it's network, this may change some day. All the coins are measuring Energy Investment in a particular activity or design. The Market then uses the information available to it to decide where to invest their Energy best according to their priorities, re-enforcing the best designs by the networks ability to efficiently form new connections, much like the brain does with it's function, controlling the flow of energy through the network... this will be the eventual design of the network. We are creating a Global Mind composed of Chains of Energy measuring Tokens, we are merely the engineers that design the network.

So what Factors are we looking at?
Over-all Energy Production, Efficiency, Energy Allocation, and Energy Conversion as well as Potential changes in these factors.

What is the Center of this Energy System?
 it is us, Humanity; Our individual needs of Food, Shelter, Stimulation, Companionship, Health, Safety and Self-Determination that decide the form that this Energy Chain follows.

Our need for food and shelter lead us in nomadic packs to scour the land for anything edible within habitable lands, further advances in tool making, clothing and agriculture broadened our horizons, giving us the edge to not just survive but thrive.
This Drive has allowed us to maximize every ounce of energy available to us through further innovation creating the potential to create elaborate settlements that provided us with easy access to shelter, stimulation, companionship, and safety in numbers... it's a fine balance between all that and self-determination; Can't always choose the degree without uncertainty.

The Capacity to maintain that balance drove us into the Industrial Revolution, our capacity to maintain our society was now dependent on Energy Conversion generated from the machines we constructed and the systems in place that maintained them.

We are again at that point, in history, but this time it is the cognitive revolution that is taking us to the next level. Our Capacity to think is driving innovation towards higher efficiencies that are ideal for our Human needs, if well done we can finally reach Humanities true potential.

How efficient have we become?
 Cryptocurrency has allowed us to re-allocate and distribute this energy as we see fit, no borders, banking hours, middlemen to choose for us. By looking at the balance of Power we can tell this is more efficient. And with the coming automation revolution, Decentralized Corporations and other Crypto Innovations our energy allocation and exchange efficiency is going through the roof!

The Computers, The Network, Our own Brains and the Connections in between are re-routing and analyzing the new Crypto Revolutions Energy Chain. WE can make the world stop. it's because of the models that we can create with no limits and the things we must do to optimize them.


The Energy Chain Web

This Energy re-allocation is the key, lets say one day the internet connects all human beings across the planet; This creates the possibility of a Feed Back loop across the Globe with High Powered Computers, Neuromorphic Chips, FPGA's, Skilled Professionals and the Entire Human Knowledge Base. What can we do with access to that? Almost Anything when we are measuring the source of the Global Energy Chains structure: Humanity.

Bare with me on this, it is in our interest to optimize this Chain in our collective favor. Preferably we should decentralize it so it can't be shut down and in the process create value added through efficiencies.

We must begin distributing the problem and solution finding systems of our world, currently they are controlled by governments and business; The art of haggling has long been lost thanks to our current economic cartels, but what if you could bid for any job? or offer a job for a bid? or offer a service or item in exchange for the same? If money is lacking in the system it should not be affecting the quality of life of it's citizens. The productive capacity of the region should be more than enough, it never disappeared simply economic incentive disappeared that is all.

How much need of work is their in the world? I hear Detroit is a very bad place to be now, but I'm sure if it's citizens banded together and were able to fulfill their human needs within the Detroit area they could rebuild it. Cryptocurrency can do this.

Lets begin with problem allocation:

What services does the average citizen need? What do they have to exchange? Who can fulfill their request? This exchange must be facilitated with a robust system that can categorize requests and allocate workers willing to complete the job for the offer in a intuitive and informative manner.

Let's consider the upcoming winter season: what needs are their among the community? Snow Removal. In this example we begin with a map of Detroit, Citizens use their Smart Phone app to flag their request on the map for anyone to offer services. The Citizen makes their offer which is only the fact that they are a plumber, the system re-routes them to someone who is willing to exchange for that service. In this way 3 Citizens are serviced, The original Plumber in need of snow removal, the laborer doing the shoveling and the citizen willing to pay the laborer on behalf of the Plumber in exchange for plumbing services. yes, a Barter exchange of services and products. This is a simplified example as it would need Smart Property to be exchanged and Bitcoin price exchange awareness to quantify the value of the exchange in a deep and meaningful manner.

We must remember that Energy cannot be destroyed, it is still within the system we simply have to be aware of it. How much energy is a table worth? and how equivalent is it to the energy required to produce a winter jacket? maybe to fix it if it is in need of mending? If you consider money the be all end all, then your system will stagnate with lack of money, government fiat has effectively strangled you. What if it is done intentionally? removing all cash from within Detroit to watch it fail... yet none of it's productive capacity or value has changed, the means of exchange has simply been removed from the system... you have to go back to barter. But this is the Internet, we will do this with Style and Intelligence.

GPS localized maps, GPS positioning, Phone Apps, Software, Web Access to the network, Barter Exchange, Citizen Community Requests, Global Bulk Exchange, Cryptocurrency, Global Work Requests, Smart Work Allocation, Charity goods allocation for the needy, Barter Exchange Chain Promissory notes, Intelligent Resource analysis and allocation, Tool rental barter or time shares... Basically Community Barn building for the 21st century.

And don't forget Predictive Capability, by providing all the information from the system to everyone, it allows people to see the system at work, to adjust it, to understand it, to improve it and predict it's future state. If we know there are 6000 Plumbing jobs a year regularly and there are 30 plumbers to complete it in the region and only half of them have the tools to complete those jobs, we can allocate tools for them through citizen time share funding or outright buying them the tools to fulfill the communities needs. Best of all it allows people to adjust to verified open information that is easily accessible to them to make informed decisions.

This is the part of the Energy Chain concerning Work finding and resolution.

The more efficient we are at finding what people Want to be done, fixed, built, reconfigured, re-positioned, assembled, assessed, allocated, removed, optimized, studied, connected, and over all modified in some way, the closer we are to reaching economic equilibrium in relation to our Human needs. If we can do this it will be the same as the industrial revolution that uplifted humanity two centuries ago, but this time it will launch us into Kurzweil's Singularity by sheer brute networking power.

Anything that can be Automated should be automated, it must free Humanity from the drudgery of common work and exalt us to more fulfilling worthwhile endeavors other than sheer slavery by economic will. The Re-allocation of cognitive resources to problems at the edge of Human understanding.

But till that day, we must use the available resources to maximum affect, creating new models and integrating the old models as well since they have established solution resolution ability( They've been doing this for a lot longer than us), it will create a market to put downward pressure on costs knowing that there is that much work needed at a specific price point and making visible the offers that may be available for exchange.

What is the eventual End Game?

Since we are considering total energy allocation and have access to all key data in this hypothetical situation lets go to Detroit and consider what the effect may be.

Detroit now has a Phone App, Software, and censorship-proof internet access to the Work Allocation network, Citizens are using it and exchanging Items and Services, collaborating to get work done in exchange, applying financial instruments to services and items across the region. It's Citizens can see where the work is, what type of work, and the predicted capacity to fulfill that work through knowledge of available tools and qualified personnel including the communities available resources to help get the job done. Smart properties like Tools, Computers, Phones have established blockchain ownership between individuals, Organizations, and communities who can lend or rent them out, knowing it will return eventually(property that finds it's master).  Citizens are using their available Computers and knowledge to improve the System regularly mapping out the energy required to fulfill the needs of the people and building innovative products to further optimize the system, making sure that what the people need is always in high supply. In areas challenged by internet disruption, videos, audio, and messages are being relaid through local Mesh networks and NFC equipped Phones, giving access to the network, sometimes the old mailman way. Some properties, items and services are being exchanged using printed promissory notes just in case you want to abandon or give to charity what you have to offer; It can be good to gain experience working and mark it on the blockchain once fulfilled.

With this system in place access to Food, Shelter, Stimulation, Companionship, Health, Safety and Self-Determination are at an all time high.

Lets start with Food, since energy allocation and efficiency are being monitored, most food production is done through local hydroponics with 80% efficiency thanks to low crop failure, use of fiber-optic cable to transmit light, Solar Energy, Fuel Cell technology and effective local distribution to drive costs down.

Combine this with active mulching, composting and waste water recycling we can extract methane gas for use in the available Fuel Cells to power the cities energy needs efficiently.

Shelter: With an active Work allocation program the best suited housing sites are repaired at the best exchange rate, providing safe affordable housing to Detroit's Citizens, rejuvenating it's most promising districts.

Stimulation, Companionship, Health, Safety and Self Determination are by products of having access to food and shelter, those who have skills can use them and improve their self-esteem, gaining friends, family in the process. The active participation of citizenry using available resources creates areas with High Health and Safety Standards and best of all, with lowered costs the ability for Self-Determination is easier to attain, Citizens work where they are needed  on the projects they choose.

With Further advances in 3D printing, Neuromorphic Chips, Recycling, accelerated learning and other Revolutionary developments can take the cost of living down to Zero. At that point Food staples and Natural Medicines are Free and provided as a necessity to maintain economic equilibrium, but you still have to pay to buy and maintain your own home or get anything other than the most basic items.

Again this is a simplified example, this system already exists, but it is very disorganized, and hard to meaningfully understand.

All Powered by Cryptocurrency, But how does Cryptocurrency come into the equation?

First off you merge mine a new coin from Bitcoin to attain maximum efficiency using it's ASIC network to allow People in Detroit to use their computers for other than securing the Financial Network. This Coin would measure the internal Energy exchange of Detroit through it's Barter Exchange and Work Allocation Network, effectively decoupling Detroit from Fiat strangulation. This would measure the value of exchanges according to a item to service to item to Cash or Bitcoin exchange valuation.

Cryptocurrency would need to be used to power this networks exchange rate, anything else would require it to be a centralized exchange. The exchange would be built into the software, apps, or available blockchain.

Smart property would be required as well to make sure to avoid theft and mark anyone with misappropriated property, everything logged into an Encrypted Torrent Based Blockchain, revealable only by the person who owns the property to prospective buyers or exchangers. This functionality could be enhanced using Open Transactions to facilitate purchases and create receipts providing proof of purchase/exchange in case of disputes. If it has to go to Court, we have failed.

Much of the Computing power available to Detroit citizens would be in maintaining the network by use of their hard drive space, Cell Phone Networks, Computing power to analyze and complete efficiently Work Allocation Solutions or extended exchange arrangements(Daisy chain of Exchanges among a group of people) and to run Machine learning routines or suggestions submitted by Citizens.

so this would effectively create a feed back loop around all the wealth located within this hypothetical situation, allowing it to circulate and repair Detroit's crippled infrastructure according to available qualified personnel, Training resources, and exchangeable resources.

The qualification, assessment and performance records will have to be outsourced to Citizens, Companies, and those fulfilling Work Requests to keep everyone honest... Basically if you do business with someone and they do you wrong... you use your Digital ID signature to create a Work request, accept the terms and if it doesn't go well, you assess them to prevent shoddy workmanship or Aggressive Customer behavior. only people with accepted work contracts can judge each other. And yes Companies must be brought into the fold... they have established work capability, answerable to legal structures, guaranteeing quality.

Think of it as a copy in digital form of our current Governance system but everything is fully transparent and available for anyone to access at anytime, fully decentralized.

So that completes the Barter and Work Allocation Part of the Energy Chain, Now Maintenance and Support.

These aspects are related to keeping that standard of living up, through Predictive Capability; The Ability to assess projected demand, equipment failure, Personnel availability and training time, Time of Delivery, Weather forecasting and preparation, and any other parameter that can cause problems if left unchecked. All this information would have to be available to everyone to consider and improve upon, better informed citizens can allocate Energy most effectively.

The parameters to analyze would be the usual: Available measurement, Rate of Change, Number of Data Points, Projected paths, and known modifying parameters.

We monitor cycles within the data: Time of year, Day/Night cycle, Recurring patterns.
And then project expected range of options according to how those patterns align with each other and affect each other, starting with both a Holistic global view and a specific view at the most granular level of understanding. Then move forward through the pattern to see what options are possible in the branching solutions, assessing only the most likely ones to be true and projecting further forward and observing actionable parameters that we can control.

So that is pretty general, it's time to go into, "what the hell would we apply it to in the context of Detroit?"

What are the available goods in promissory circulation? what type? What are the average possessions of participants?( nothing specific can only be divulged by owner) General queries are possible like type of possession owned on average,  scheduled jobs, work completed, commonly exchanged items and services including how long they remain in promissory circulation before being owned and for what items they are normally redeemed, How many job tickets are scheduled(Services are redeemable at any time and exchangeable: promises to do work), Rate of redeemability of said job tickets, time of redemption, Rentals and time shares, Weather conditions, Holidays, significant events affecting exchange, or short falls in essential goods, assessment of perishable goods(must be taken out of circulation once owned or in circulation for expected expiry date) and more to be added as suggestions come in, and all available for everyone to query, provide better algorithms and be compensated for it by the system, by implementing them in a controlled manner to observe effect.

then simply start throwing computers, people and anything else in between, relegating to the machine the most developed and successful algorithms and keeping humans at the edge observing the limit of what is knowable within the system.

Providing predictive capability is also important for compensation since the most entrepreneurial individuals will look at the automated data and make investments well ahead of predictions simply knowing the branches of what might be right, gaining financial compensation, or providing good predictive data that is measurable and tipable by the community since they have a scientific analysis of the predictive models improvement, there by incentivize people to participate in the welfare of the system rather than gambling on a possible outcome.

The system could also be fully decoupled and run on it's own if people were willing to keep redeeming items and services without exchanging it to any other currency. At this point it's value would be derived completely by available exchange.

Since we do have this predictive availability we can analyze trends in the data and prepare citizens according to their chosen profession, known skills, available tools, preferences, available resources or anything we can think of, in the form of suggestions. To prepare them for coming weather conditions or events ahead of time all decentralized, network participation demands support, so small tasks could be sent to your tablet, phone or computer to help improve predictions.

This part of the Energy Chain concerns the systems certainty of maintaining and supporting equilibrium within it's desired quality of life.

What Happens from there will be up to us to Decide.

The Blossoming Energy Chain

  The inspiration for change across the centuries has always been the breakdown of limits and the eventual remix of the ideas that result. The Gutenberg Press, changed everything when it gave everyone the chance to consider and discuss the ideas themselves rather than to be told what was within an ancient cryptic tome; Reading and Writing became essential skills for the power it granted the individual: The ability to be heard throughout the eons, an idea that sparked a thousand flames.  

  This remixing happens continuously as the knowledge at the edge of our understanding, difficult, obscure concepts and ideas are simplified, developed, explored by millions if not billions. Each individual taking what is given to them and forming it into a cohesive whole capable of changing the world.

  The knowledge of Experts, Crafters, Scientists, Engineers, Programmers and other specialized professions gets distributed and made accessible to the masses. This process changes the idea itself letting it go through a natural evolutionary algorithm produced by each individuals knowledge, skills, challenges and concerns; The most accessible, useful and urgent ideas spread faster. Ideas growing and developing in their own ecosystem striving to survive or thrive, only the best survive.

  The pinnacle of it's form coalesces with other ideas giving more momentum, being deconstructed and reformed as each individual sees fit, spreading through society.
 
  We all posses this power, but perfecting this process is what I am here to explain.

WE are the Gatekeepers

  Each one of us chooses what we believe, what we accept and do, no one else decides. Only We can change ourselves and in so doing change our future.

  The process of change is one that requires, Awareness of that which is within us and without, Knowledge of it's form and function, of Wisdom to change or stay the course on our way through reality.

  Our Open projects provide that Awareness; Letting everyone make up for themselves what they choose to understand or do. The granularity to be aware of what is happening near and far, yesterday today and beyond. Helping accelerate that awareness is an essential part of the process to find out what we know. This entails providing information and education to those who seek it, insights and tools into their education, and a measurable qualification of such efforts along with platforms to automatically update individuals on the things they want to know or understand. Infinite granularity and openness of all information for all people to remix and deconstruct.

  Knowledge to bridge the divide between experts and seekers is essential in guiding the changes that need to be made. This knowledge can be as simple as knowing where to look, or what to ask. To see into the patterns that information takes as it traverses our awareness, the transmogrification of it's path. The web as it weaves through time and space, to see it's form and color. Knowing what something is, is part of knowing what it is not. A simple thing to know the nature of things, but hard to accept. What is it that we need to know, to go further, to go beyond our limits?
  At any given moment, there are things that we must know before we can give meaningful answers to ourselves and others, to reach a complete solution that satisfies our curiosity. This knowledge is scattered across millions of pages uncategorized and unused across the web. What could we do if we understood, the shape and composition of every stellar body in our solar system down to the rocks? We could go there and know it without ever having stepped foot there. To know the experiences that others have had, are having and will have on those distant worlds. Knowing the deepest places of the earth, in the comfort of our own home. With knowledge we can build anything, if we know how to put things together.

  Wisdom too guides us, it gives us the tools we need to decide which path to choose with our limited time and resources. What if we could build tools that would give people the power to create worlds in their own right? Specialized tools to create, explore, the universe, simulating it to infinite levels of detail in the hands of every Human being on earth? We are beginning to now, Every day more and more power is being given into the hands of individuals with every program we create and with it we go further than we have ever gone before. The final outcome is the singularity, the power of ideas infinitely per-mutating, consolidating and expanding into infinity and with it the power to choose what becomes real.

The Perception of all creation will change us, for with it we gain the Knowledge to understand it and the Wisdom to forever alter our Destiny.

Hence forth it will be the mission of every one of us to integrate the Universe within us and expand upon it for all to see.

Soon we will Transcend into the singularity, it is up to us now to decide how fast we rush into the Future.

Well said.

What are we Truly measuring with money? Gross Domestic Product, Our capacity and efficiency for work? The potential futures of said work? Maybe we got it all wrong, maybe we should be measuring Total Energy in circulation, Potential capacity to generate energy and efficiency of transmission. Bitcoin measures it, how willing are people to use energy to generate exchangeable energy tokens? How efficient are said tokens able to be produced?

and all energy intensive Cryptocurrencies combined measure it's aggregate over a range of measurements within the Energy Chain, if you can get people interested in the completion of an activity using energy, you are measuring it's energy allocation within the available energy supply.

Different Cryptocurrencies will measure different things, Bitcoin at this point measures the entire Energy Grid.

Curecoin, Gridcoin, Primecoin and others represent the energy allocated to scientific discovery.

Others like LItecoin, Peercoin and others represent alternative systems of measurement.

Zerocoin, Franko's, Freicoin, Dogecoin measure social structures whether it is a need for economic privacy, social movement or monetary policy.

Solarcoin, Devcoin, Namecoin represent energy used towards their respective products and services.

I love this discussion, I'll definitely be watching it.

But you must understand that we are trying to find the true form of money, abstracting the idea from any pre-conceptions and adapting it to the situations that it may encounter.  All the exploration we are doing now, is to scientifically analyze the flow of money and understand it in the context of a region or society.

We can create phenomenal things when the limits are removed. Where are the Cryptocurrency Gate keepers, to dictate how our money is used? With traditional money it is the Banks, Law Enforcement, Governments, Businesses that dictate how that money will flow; Bitcoin takes a few of them out of the equation. It removed borders, Economic Cartels and any top down institution from dictating it's development... they must come to us now, the people, they can no longer dictate the terms, we now have a voice that they must hear. This dialogue about money is about equilibrium, we will not be treated as slaves of their economic systems.
This is a Democracy and we should be acting like it, get that dictatorship mentality out of your heads. It is sad that our Governance Leadership has forced us to do this.

The technology gives all the economic instruments used by traditional financial institutions to the people for them to remix and explore, I hope this trend continues. We as a people have our own interests to follow our own preoccupations to worry about, do you think the people would intentionally choose scammers and charlatans as the foundation of our common wealth? No, we will weed them out and find the solution that is The best for everyone.

Bitcoin is the beginning of Smart Contracts, Smart Property, The end of Theft, of misappropriation of funds, the beginning of barter systems, Hyper exchangeable Time Shares, Economic equilibrium across the planet and price finding solutions with dynamic solutions Globally.

... But we must still discuss our options, we must understand them and so we must research and collectively view any and all options critically. Please continue discussing, we will analyze scientifically all solutions and let the people decide which is best for them.

The Bizantine Generals problem has been solved up to 51% and there are solutions that can take it up to 99% using P2P Technology... we have solved the problem of trust. The Blockchain is censor proof, difficult to tamper it is the beginning of self-governance by the people, that is Bitcoins true innovation. The Blockchain can hold all your identifying information for everyone, all your credentials, all your contracts, and it can automate them using smart contracts, this is about a lot more than money... it is about self determination by the masses. We have eliminated the middle man.

Direct Democracy my friends.

Their network is bigger and more established so it's worth is much higher than all crypto-currencies combined, but we are getting bigger, more complex and modifying the system faster than they can fix theirs; they can play their games, but they must still Make us use their system, we freely choose our future.

Look at Doge's design... it is perfectly designed for what it was intended, it has serious backing as well. How the hell is it getting so many sponsors?
People really love this coin, the meme, the design, it's spread... This thing was engineered to be spread by 10 year olds! It just puts a childish smile on my face.

I love Dogecoin.

Can another testnet be created?

for example, create a subnetwork with different rules to the main network, splitting the network in two and exchanging the coins between the high TPS network and the original Low TPS network.

We exchange the the coins between the network using a signature hash from the wallet, marking that someone decided to turn the coin into a high TPS coin marking it for exchange to the new network.

This way only people interested in doing a lot of transactions can apply and there should be a way to transfer the coin back to a low TPS network. The people with lots of hard drive space can try out the new network and function as nodes.


This will create a new market and exchange, the hashes of the high TPS network can be integrated into the low TPS network as a single transaction, a high priority transaction that gets taken care of first before all other transactions to prevent the network from failing.

The new network will be a little less secure by probability but will be equally secure because it will use the same mining network but simply at a faster pace with a lower hash target.

Man, I'm just sad all that History is gone!, I would have loved to check out all those e-mails. It was history in the making.

Did they erase the account permanently? Is there any correspondence that people got from Satoshi that could piece together Bitcoins History?

The unexploitable being must not be reached, there must be barriers in place physical and psychological so that it may express itself fully without bias.

The creator has never revealed themselves, we have mearly revealed another sock puppet: nick szabo and satoshi are the same person but neither is real.

Whoever they are they have dared to question the world, to see behind the curtain. In the breaking of dogma making is that there is more than meets the eye. Questioning money, it's purpose, function, design to kick start the fundamental realization: it is a form of communication. In it's semantics forming the vocabulary of scarcity, power, work, intelligence, prosperity, vision. Amazingly enough it follows a similar design to the human brain firing when it has completed it's contemplation and sharing the flow to those neurone that support it's needs.

A very dangerous system if not properly understood; bad flow will starve key parts, difficult price finding solutions will impede flow, micro economic inflexibility can disrupt it's development.

This hacker has exposed nothing, someone capable of these thoughts has designed their processes accordingly, there is no threat to the creator, but their purpose is clear to create a flow of ideas through society by impeding access to themselves in order to decentralize the solution finding sources. One individual cannot be expected to find all the answers, yet they must still reveal their solutions in a way that demands critical thought: the cult of personality must be dissuaded. Past performance cannot be the sole source of future speculation.

Hence there is no original source, only copies with fake names and personalities, only their minds critically analyzed by our own can be judged and only in a very narrow spectrum free of cultural and moral bias: understanding ideas for their worth and not the source of them.

The experiment is complete, there is no way to stop it now.
The pattern has imprinted itself indelibly into every facet of our society.
Creating the very rights and responsaBilities that were taken away from us
At the beginning of the internet revolution. All the centralized services that stopped us from conducting business in the manner that it had been done for millenias; the right to conduct business as one sees fit free from interference or eaves dropping from outside forces. The internet will soon be free in all facets of human society; a copy of the real non-digital world. It's all about returning power to the people, isn't that what democracy is?

Satoshi's work is done and we are completing the pattern throughout the internet. It is the realization of the singularity, the combined might of free minds and awesome computing power communicating. Share your ideas and our combined skills and resources are going launch us into a Golden age as soon as we can get a smart phone into every human beings hand.

Researching this breach proves it, the community is speaking, exploring together.

Satoshi's part is done, there is nothing more that voice can tell us.
We complete the system now, let's get all 7 billion people online ASAP, with all the trimmings banking, commerce, research and access to resources possible.

Man, I am just loving this. Laughing my ass off, I haven't had this much fun reading a thread in a long time; where is that popcorn?

I just want to know what other projects did satoshi work on? Was it bitcoin related?
Did they talk to anyone interesting while they were active, this is history in the making and we get front row seats if this is true ... No matter what. I would love a dump of those e-mails, what phenomenal things will we learn?

Only hilarity can ensue

Well I guess this may finally lay to rest any hope of ever contacting satoshi; their account is hacked
After many years of abandonment. It would be nice though to see all the positive emails that they ever got.

Long live the collective vision, the realization that any one of us can become legend.

We the people are satoshi nakamoto, the source of wisdom, it'll have to come undoubtedly from us now.

 man, I am just amused by all the comments, who knows maybe they did it for a good giggle. Somewhere
out there, Satoshi is giggling reading all their posts, just so much wild speculation is possible.

 But why Satoshi left? Dude, they made this thing unstoppable, how do you guarantee something to be unstoppable? It has to survive after you are gone. Look at the protocol, the design, the people, the community... They did all this from the beginning... it was well planned; This thing is unstoppable. The only thing that can kill it, is destroying all the digital infrastructure on the planet. And, even then if you create a strong community around it actively dissecting the code, the idea, re-iterating it a thousand fold; It will not die.

 This thing is decentralized at every level, Blossoming into a thousand currencies, schemes, businesses, co-operatives, spreading and re-organizing itself, integrating itself into the current legacy system. This things is insane, the code, the protocol, adapting and evolving because it pays people to have an active interest in it's well being. We are taking care communally of the fastest growing network on the planet.

 It is an example of what can be done when you begin to think of reality as a big processing engine, every human, computer, program, network, system is simply a node processing information that is visible for it to modify and reflect upon. A Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Network/ Decentralized Autonomous Organization observing itself from every perspective and point of view.

 Electronic Signatures are recognized by the court, how to go about it I don't know, but contract law is all we need, loose association business for legal and taxation purposes, each person pays their individual taxes. I believe it is called a Co-Operative, it is a very legal form of association. Just have to sign up members that's all.

 So we have everything we need just need to outline the internal structure and interface of this Co-Operative. Now achieving a international Co-Operative... that's going to be interesting.
 
Write up the Co-Operatives mandate and policies Open Source style and watch the people develop the idea, There is no shortage of people, just lack of purpose and direction.

 I agree, but maybe we are seeing this in the wrong way; Do we really need more than just a accounting system? The people who develop good reputations are those who really believe and understand what the system is about. All it is, is a Proof of Work problem; Something gets delivered, it's automatically tallied as done, no need to confirm, this works for digital goods( It got there, we know it).

  If more of the process is openly verifiable in a automated way,... we don't need people's moral ambiguity to muddy the waters. The manufacturing/sales software that I have used in the past, in-house software, tallies and tracks the manufacturing process there are hundreds of programs like this... It wouldn't be hard to make it update remote clients or servers synchronizing the network as work gets done and time stamping it.

 As for Enforcement... from the laws perspective: as long as you use a Secure Electronic Signature you are covered. The Agreement will hold up in court as long as both parties use verifiable secure Digital Signatures. That is all that is needed, so... we should research this and figure out how to comply with local contract laws using Secure Electronic Signatures.

  This way every sale is a contract and a agreement to deliver goods, an agreement valid at point of sale. Now for actually getting physical goods, if you don't get what you want, well that's going to be a job for the lawyers to figure out how to mediate between jurisdictions, I have no answers.

  Hell, we could Crowd source it's design to any Law students willing to be paid in crypto, just digitize the contract laws to automatically adjust depending on client information. Once the work is done Open source it never has to be done again, A Machine Readable Law Book.

  The Network, it is what allows us to speak to each other, to find and synchronize what we are learning.
A Decentralized Network has no central control to guide the entire system, it is simply enough to know that you are part of something much bigger, something you are constantly synchronizing with every moment of every day.

  We share our knowledge, our experiences, building a collective map in our mind of what everyone already knows... a living example of the Blockchain; This is who we are and the sooner we organize the network the faster we will grow.

  This map we are making is far greater than we think; It touches everything we are trying to accomplish. We are all gifted with different skills, interests, and tools at our disposal; What can be done when we are all aware of those capabilities?

  I think we can totally change everything. Who has a 3D printer? Anyone have 3D modeling knowledge? A car? Plane? Maybe you are simply a good teacher. 

  We are missing the central control system for the largest assembly line in the world. Many companies are already starting to see it's potential, but lets skip a few pages to the end.

  We need a platform to sell our services in BTC with job queuing capability. A Decentralized manufacturing co-ordination platform that maps out the manufacturing capability of specific regions. Think of it as a Job board for the 21st Century. Lets stop wasting time and peoples precious skills using a obsolete work structure, centered on constant supply and demand, this really limits what we are capable of creating as a Race and it's wasteful of our resources.

  This platform has just a few needs.

1) People with skill or equipment to build or transport the various stages of each product. Whether that may be building a 3d model or crafting a simple table, if you got it, lets use it. Researchers, designers, educators too

2)A Common Network to communicate our manufacturing capacity or needs to be fulfilled. I'm thinking better than classifieds; A network that locates the nearest available manufacturing hub with rates and usual build times. Lets just do away with supply chain secrecy, it'll be better for the market.

3)A Job board to send requests to. Everyone has needs sometimes it's for an item that has not been seen in years, often people just give up because what they want is not available... this is an opportunity.

4)A contract system that is robust and versatile to allow people to securely know that their Bitcoin won't be stolen for services not received.

5) A visual map of services available in your community with ratings and easy request forms. If I want a pizza, I can order it directly from my favorite restaurant and have it delivered by the company of my choosing.

  I keep seeing all this skill, equipment, desire being squandered at an unfulfilling job, tools bought but never used. I want to see an end to this endless manufacturing cycle of underused assets, people settling for mediocre results or going all together without available services.

  We are Intelligent, skilled people with little to no one to appreciate what we are capable of. The Open source movement needs this, we need it so we can truly live. How would you feel if you could design a whole new vehicle, register it as your design, be paid every time someone built one knowing you are part of a great Decentralized Manufacturing Hub powered by the Open Source community?  All this knowledge hiding in your head it wants to come out, we just need the infrastructure to take advantage of it.

  If you believe, lets discuss what can be done right now to map all available resources within our community to empower people to truly achieve success on our own terms.

Just remember all it is, is a logistics problem. People need services, People to meet those needs, People to supervise that those needs are met and People to monitor the entire system... we can make a Crowd Sourced OpenCorporation to move the Bitcoin community forward.

Money is definitely anti-war, just imagine a world without money. How do you convince people to follow you?work for you, or gain your fair share? without a tally system, things get awfully hairy. Though when people begin to tamper with the tally system(money), they tend to leverage things in their favor... throwing the entire system into imbalance; equilibrium is peace, chaos is war.

and for the bankers, no one benefits from war, it is merely a readjustment of accounts on a ledger. If your countries bank gets blown up, their accounts world wide are cleared... they become worthless. The country falls into debt rebuilding, the banks lending the money lose their money, reposes and are forced to sell at a loss because they do not manage companies, but in the end, if you can change the ledger you can erase the losses... re-adjusting the money supply and not the behavior, the winner wins by simply re-writing history.

Maybe Bitcoin's, strict rules will help... can't tamper with the ledger, if your stupid you will lose everything like everyone else, there is no winner, guaranteed and at the least it keeps conflicts to a local scope where return on War investments is guaranteed.

But then again when people want to fight, it's hard not to see it as an investment, ; it's hard not to invest on a sudden uptick in demand for war. It's easy to let greed overcome the logical conclusion that a little number represents the rate of re-armament... where can the morals be if all we see is growth on a chart, rather than potential death toll that we are catalyzing and investing in.

  when I think deeply about this issue, I see that we have done just that to the banking system. We have proven that we can automate all their tasks, though now we actually do have a say on how things are done; in a way we have driven to the margins those who would enjoy having a system that allows charge backs, or more conventional schemes of accounting. This philosophy that Bitcoin has espoused is evident down to it's code that simply does not allow it to happen... can't even have integrated debt built in; It is non-existent under this scheme... will we address these issues when the network is so large and prominent that we can only forgo Bitcoin's security for different accounting methods. yes, we can merge mine it and have it's security and apply new rules, but we would still be subject at some point to it's rules.

  we can do this to a lot more than just finance... What is government? A collective representation of the will of a people, whether it is represented by a tribal council, a monarch, or a appointed official. What is the will of the people? Is it reflected in the power that we delegate to individuals? Those we choose to represent our point of view... with the current state of technology we don't need to be represented, we can all have timely access to information about relevant issues whenever we want. But, the rules, the laws, the written edicts passed down from one era to the next, to define their rights and responsibilities, these can be written in immutable code on a blockchain that anyone can access, but who has the right to modify these edicts when there are no official delegates to abide by them, these rules too will be written down in immutable digital code, with API's accessing them, voluntarily abiding by them to the point where nothing can be done without them. It will be a sad day when you choose to opt out of a system that is complex, omnipresent, and all knowing, just wait till entire city wide systems are managed by autonomous distributed systems, which only a mass majority of a districts citizens can modify. You'll have no choice but to move to a community closer to your own ideals or do mass petitions and education rallies to change them.

  The problem of authority and decision making. yes, with open distributed databases running the planet you will never have to get a drivers licence; the system will know you are authorized, prove your identity; anyone can verify who you are... forever, or submit information to any legal authority; disputable matters will all be recorded on your private database.  Decisions: who certifies that you were born? who certifies where you live? that legal disputes have been resolved? Do we simply apply a random check by qualified individuals to assess in an unbiased manner a societies problems? and if we apply automated rules to this process who decides these rules?

  The first problem is figuring out what we agree on, and the faith we have in what we know. 

  Will we one day be born into digital apartheid? Without choice as to the laws and systems that will mold us, unable to choose for ourselves the standard by which we wish to be measured, till age of majority? Cursed to follow the path our parents have set forth before us.

  It will be a time, when politics will not be a negligible aspect of our lives, it will be life or death. The wrong rule, can unwittingly pit city against city, rural vs urban, poor vs rich... what we don't know will hurt us.
