When I knew about bitcoin I asked about the creator and a name was given me as Satoshi Nakamoto. When I researched about the name I was told it was a pseudonym and at the same time the Satoshi is anonymous. I did not bother myself more about his identity.

Coming to this forum and I saw Satoshi profile, that showed that Satoshi actually communicated here, I now have the feeling that Satoshi is in this forum.
Since there is no KYC and there is privacy allowed here. There is every chance that Satoshi is here.

Here is therefore my 20 questions to you Satoshi:

1. Why did you create a technology as big as blockchain and bitcoin and gave it out for free?

2. Why have you not withdrawn your coins including the genesis block and other btc in 20+ addresses?

3. Are you afraid that if you withdraw them, government can trace you through that means?

4. Did you lose the private keys or you were unable to backup all your folders then and as such lost your keys?

5. Are you seeing that bitcoin can make $1m in the future and decided to hold tight till then?

6. Wait! Are you still alive? Or you died of earthquake in the North?

7. Are you a man or a woman or a group of people?

8. Do you have any regrets in creating bitcoin. I asked because a scripture said that God regrettable creating man.

9. How about if you sell your coin for charity rather than allow it waste.

10. Is the way bitcoin going now, the way you planned it to be? Have the bitcoiners altered your initial plans and arrangements for bitcoin?

11. Do you something feel like to appear in the court one day and 100%  prove Craig Wright wrong?

12. You don't want to withdraw your bitcoin because if you do, there will be great panic that may collapse bitcoin.

13. OK! Your coins is serving as bitcoin reserve to prevent 51% attack?(No, this is not it...51% attack is about computing power and not about coins)

14. Why did you choose 21 million as the maximum amount of bitcoin to be in circulation? Why not 20 million that is a round figure and why not 50 million. Bitcoin would still be a scarce commodity if you made it 100 million.

15. Why is halving 4 years circle and not 2 years. Is it related to the world cup 4 years interval?

16. If FBI decides to uncover your identity, do you think it will be difficult for them?

17. Bitcoin is more than 10yrs you created it. How many more years do you have in mind that bitcoin will last when you created it. I do not believe that you had in mind of creating an everlasting currency when you are not a government.

18. When do you intend to re-appear as Satoshi Nakamoto?

19. Do you still contribute to the bitcoin network by maintaining the codes or you totally hands off bitcoin and started playing ruby in the streets of Alabama?

20. Do you have kids  did you teach them about bitcoin, are they into bitcoin now?

I am sorry if I have bothered you with so many questions because only you have better answer to most of this questions.

P.S Community, did Satoshi grant any interview before his disappearance. If yes, someone should please point me to it.
@Satoshi
@all

the real satoshi knows the genesis coins cant move
moses lack of knowledge of this debunks himself (yet again)

@moses
how about take more time to learn bitcoin instead of pretending you are the inventor. it has never helped you to pretend to be the inventor because it keeps revealing how little you know about bitcoin

each time you pretend. it reveals how little you know about bitcoin. so stop that game. stop wasting months with games. and instead inspire yourself to use the time to actually learn about bitcoin

even if satoshi came back he has no back door or access or power over bitcoin and from his writings he did not want power(one of the reasons he left) so his presence wont mean anything.

after all not many people are excited about coblee real name announcement about making litecoin or buterin real life name announcement when making ethereum.. so its just a famous for 15 minute segment then people move on to discuss other topics

its like christmas.... months of anticipation and dreams and hopes for what will be unwrapped. and then 15minutes of unwrapping and its all over

If Satoshi signs a message with the private key from the Genesis block and moves some Bitcoin from the same address, it could be strong evidence of his identity.  But I highly doubt he will never do that, he is not dumb to ruin his real life once he reveals himself and it could be he becomes subject to lawsuits, government regulations, or even criminal charges.

I would like to stop thinking that Satoshi will reveal himself in the future or there's a chance to reveal himself in public and brings solid evidence just to convince people.  Just respect his decision to remain anonymous, besides, without him, Bitcoin continued to succeed and be widely adopted in different countries.

It's unfortunate that some people fell for his antics or perhaps no idea what kind of person OP is. It's also bad that one can not directly see negative feedback when someone posts in bitcoin discussion, but I will just leave this here for those can see.

Yep, that's BitcoinMoses' trust summary.

On 7th February 2023.
Before The Hon Justice Mellor
Between CSW and Bitcore partnership entitles, Samuel Dobson, Cory Fields, Luke Dash Jr, Blockstream Corporation, Coinbase Inc, and others. Craig Wright has lost a copyright claim against the Bitcoin blockchain in a court in the UK.

Details: This judgment is concerned with a short, discrete but important point about whether copyright subsists in a file format used in the Bitcoin System. Unfortunately, there is a lot of background and context I must set out before I get to the short point in question.

Case Background

The First Claimant, Dr. Wright, claims to be the creator of the Bitcoin System, the person who wrote the original Bitcoin code and the author of the White Paper, a document entitled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, which essentially describes the Bitcoin System. He claims he was the person who made the White Paper available to the public on 31 October 2008 under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.

This action is one of four in the Business & Property Courts involving Dr Wright and there is a common issue in all four actions – what has been called 'the identity issue', namely, whether it was Dr Wright who adopted the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto when announcing his creation of the Bitcoin System or, perhaps slightly inaccurately, whether Dr Wright was or is Satoshi Nakamoto. That issue will be the subject of trial in due course.

The hearing which gave rise to this judgment was concerned with an aspect of Dr Wright's application for permission to serve this claim out of the jurisdiction. Some of the Defendants are in the jurisdiction and have been served already in a conventional way. The majority of the Defendants are outside the jurisdiction. There is clear authority that, in order to grant a litigant permission to serve his claim on someone outside the jurisdiction, the court must be satisfied that there is a serious issue to be tried on the merits of the claim see Altimo Holdings and Investment Ltd v Kyrgyz Mobile Tel Ltd [2011] UKPC 7 at [71], VTB Capital Plc v Nutritek International Corp [2013] UKSC 5 at [164]. This means that the claim must have a real (as opposed to a fanciful) prospect of success. This standard applies to each cause of action asserted in the claim.

Impossible to prove or disprove franky1,  and some people have cited his comments about it not being good to hold bitcoin as suggesting there might be jealousy reasons to burn it down.  I know for a fact that some other early Bitcoiners turned on to full bitcoin hate because they lost or gave away their Bitcoin or never acquired a large amount when they could have.   But that kind of stuff is just speculation and I think in this case it fails occam's razor: People get conned, it happens and it happens more often than complicated movie plot payoff schemes.

I think I'd have to see evidence of a *huge* payment to rate the bought off theory more highly than someone who was just tricked-- and there is no reason to think the Wright would have been able to make a huge payment in the first place.

It's true but Wright clearly has some magic charisma over people in person.  I think in 1:1 interactions Wright is probably highly effective at controlling the direction of conversation through carefully calibrated abuse, feigned outrage, storming out, etc.

Satoshi was also more abrasive towards Gavin in private than we know him to have been in public communications (e.g. more like that dismissal of future altcoin scammer Larimer, the only time Satoshi was ever outright abrasive in public).  Especially if Gavin had recently reviewed his discussions with Satoshi he might have been newly offended and when wright was a dick he could have thought "well, that checks out". For the rest of us we see Wrigt's public conduct as 180 degrees off of Satoshi, but Gavin might have over valued the few criticisms he got from Satoshi and thought the two weren't polar opposites.

Probably the most shocking thing to me is that in Gavin and Wright's communication, at some point Wright started fire and brimstone-ing about patents or something and Gavin responded with something along the lines of "see when you talk like that it makes people think you're a scammer".  WTF, why did Gavin coach him to scam better??  Total facepalm moment there, but I guess Gavin was already committed to the believe that Wright was legit.

You didn´t get it.
If you were a client of Mt Gox and you were a victim of the Mt Gox "steal", you are looking for the one who stole your money. Now someone (CSW) pops up and says he has now the money which was stolen at Mt. Gox, you could indeed sue CSW at your local court to hand out the privkeys to given address (which he can´t, but hey...)

@moses
you have no clue about the history of bitcoin... (socially or technically)
.. take a few months off and learn some stuff

it was actually CSW plus his investors that reached out and contacted a bitcoin conference organiser to contact her contacts of well known people to see who would be willing to get paid to visit CSW

everything else you saying to try to attempt to get yourself involved in all that drama is just BS

you are not well versed in the history, nor even how bitcoin works.
accept your flaws. and realise you are not convincing anyone

oh look the usual crowd, and then the usual side-ssles pitch to a silly subnetwork that has no blockchain
(facepalm)

though this topic is about bitcoins blockchain size. seems a certain group love to  do all they can to subtly and implicitly pretend bitcoin is only for the elite or pretend everyone they know things it is and all that crap. while then adding in a sale pitch at some part in their conversation about another network.. boring not original. shameful

funny thing is majority of promised use cases of lightning wouldnt work.. let alone if you needed a laptop when you go to just purchase a small pack of chewing gum or a small coffee in those small use cases

reality:
lightning is a thing where idiots load up funds from multiple blockchain networks. and bridge to lightning(much the same as many other subnetworks that do the same thing(yep lightning is nothing special)) locking up value with a hub/manager and use their lite-app on their phone
lightning is not even a network thats made to work only with a bitcoin blockchain. infact people can create balance without any funds locked at all.. thats how bad it is, it can fractional reserve

but yea doesnt matter much anyway because there are many other sub networks that have more liquidity locked up from bitcoin locks. to then play around with silly micro amount units, becasue many realise lightning is the unfit network people need to know about.

even other similar buggy networks like avalanche which is only 1 year old has more liquidity locked than lightning. so i keep wondering why are these same fools  trying to say bad stuff about bitcoin, trying to divert people away from using/securing bitcoin.. just to then promote some other network called lightning which is not even going to meet expectations or fulfil its promises

but hey. if they dont like me calling out Lightning flaws. maybe they need to stop snake oil selling lightning while trying to pretend they are bitcoiners

maybe they should/could try to back things up with stats data and math. not their subtle crappy attempts to try to say bitcoin doesnt need more nodes, bitcoin can function fine with les people whilst then promoting another network
idiots

I heard the news that bitcoin is most close to receiving 500 GB size hard disk data, so I am just confused if a newbie or beginner tries to start download bitcoin, how much minimum hard disk he must buy and prepare?

how many blockchains are there until bitcoin is mined?, is possible 10 terabytes?,

Is the default hard disk still good to use, or move to SSD?

I just try to download, but when over 3 days, my hard disk is slow to receive blockchain data, seems low in header sync when opening and closing bitcoin core. (I use a default Hard disk of 10 terabyte)

I wonder when satoshi’s real identity will be released? I wonder if someone or some agency is withholding his access to his coins?

i dont bully. i literally just speak frank to everyone.
oh and no you didnt make bitcoin

oh and if you had ANY skills you would not be asking other people to make a blockchain for you!!
this topic proves you have no skills

yep im being frank.
bye. case closed. witnesess dismissed

Blockchain is not the only way to have decentralization. Blockchains are not always decentralized, in fact it's likely that there's more of the centralized ones than the decentralized.


you just want direct democracy for court cases, this is obviously a very bad idea. First, you can't ensure that the voters will statistically represent the population if it's a free for all and not a random selection. This opens a lot of room for corruption and injustice. Second, regular people are poor judges. They don't know the law, they don't spend their time trying to understand the concept of justice, their judgements would be based on emotions, political views and other irrational things.

Verdict - it's a bad idea. Case closed.

moses YET AGAIN wants to promote a final idea. hoping to make money out of it. but always forgets to do the planning and actual work involved before promoting a product

he needs to explain the legal system he wants to see in words. before then asking people to convert it to code.
EG how do jurors vet the evidence, who choses the jurors . who stops alot of bias jurors or jurors with motivations to sway the judgement

how to prove jurors are independent and not just one victims/accused's relative with hundreds of addresses/accounts
