What If Satoshi Actually Lost His Private Keys

[maxreish]

This is indeed an interesting thread. Why do we have to problem the lost private keys and the come back of the Bitcoin creator Satoshi? For i believe he will remain be anonymous and that he already achieved what he wanted to do with bitcoin. And since theymos already cleared that his account was already locked. Then, there is a small chance that he may post it again using that account and with our doubts setting aside if p2p signature for strong proof is necessary.

I am not saying that I believe his story what so ever. Lets say Satoshi Nakamoto DID really lose his keys due to a freakish accident. Would there be any way he could actually prove himself.

If Satoshi was to log into the Satoshi Account on this forumn and say I lost all of my Bitcoin keys, would anyone believe him?

Would a post here be enough proof?

If THE Satoshi logged in after almost 10 years of being Non Active and said word for word what the Newest Satoshi Scammer is saying but said it on this forumn would the community believe him, or would everyone just think his founder account had been compromised? I am curiouse on everyones thoughts on the subject. If from a previouse satoshi acct he said the same thing. I feel I would kind of trust him...

The latest Satoshi that has come forth, uses this alibi to claim that he is Satoshi Nakamoto but many people will not believe this kind of alibi, this is quite unbelievable, for me it's unacceptable, he is the creator and a techie guy, he should know how to protect his private key what an irony.

Who cares? Why is someone pretending to be Satoshi a scammer? What would the be scamming you for and gaining for the scam? Even if Satoshi came here and said he lost all his bitcoin. Why would that happen?
What makes you think they would lose their bitcoin and not have it spread across their account? IF they developed bitcoin and never kept any then that is incredibly foolish.

There is no claim that will ever be accepted as long as that coin does not reduce, and if satoshi has lost the key, then we might has well just forget that there is anyone called satoshi and just agree that bitcoin was developed by an invisible spirit because those ones claiming to be satoshi cannot even have access to the key, and the other fool that claim to have some old laptop and how he misplaced the access to the coin really does not have any convincing thing from everything that he wrote there.

I want to believe that the real satoshi is even out there, and just waiting for the right time to actually make himself visible to the world but I ever doubt if it would be now, kind of too risky for him because government would be after him for now, especially America and china.

If his account becomes active and starts posting I believe it's him since he's given enough proof to theymos.

His account is locked, so no. If he wants to claim his account, he'll have to contact me with a PGP signature.

This makes sense, but I just wonder what if the hacker is capable enough to show proof? we all know that no one knows the who the real satoshi is.

It is up to theymos and the people who make a contribution in Bitcoin to judge and decide how would they want to ask for more information if he is really the real Satoshi Nakamoto. I wonder if a hacker could answer all of the coming questions that will be thrown at him by the community especially on the people here who witnessed the real work of Satoshi.

Satoshi can't log in to his forum account, afaik theymos is the only one who have access to satoshi's account. Also signing messages from a bitcoin address is not the only way for him to prove he's the real Satoshi.

Haha exactly mate and Yeah theymos is the left hand of satoshi as i know if not wrong because the real owner of this forum is satoshi theymos appointed as administrators. Your correct only theymos. For now no need to argue how is real satishi because for sure he stand their decision to hide their identity. If the private of satoshi get lose possible lost his investment but for the expert and genius like him he have a lot of back up to keep safe their keys.
