I tried looking for him awhile back, then just gave up. Just a few minutes ago, I stumbled across a major clue that everyone seems to have overlooked. Now that I know who it is, I want to get some opinions from you guys:
He's put a great deal of time into hiding his identity. Even though some of us want to know who he is, he wouldn't be safe anymore. Governments and whatever the hell might want to take him out, or something to ruin Bitcoin. I mean, that's why he's been hiding, right?
Would it be wrong of me to disclose who he is? I guess I can't give clues either. Actually, not really sure why I'm starting this thread. Just kinda excited that I found him.
So what do I do? Just keep my mouth shut?
He deserves his anonymity and I think we should respect it. Edit: Governments cant kill bitcoin by taking satoshi out. |

Should have thought of that before I started the thread. But I could just BS and say it's Bill Clinton that started Bitcoin. I haven't divulged my method of finding him, so I could say I think it's anyone. Except Bill Clinton, now that you've publicly stated that that would be BS. |

This seems unlikely...
But if true, it probably hardly matters, since other people in the long stretch of time will likely stumble over the same "clue".
Unless you are the only person with access to this "clue", in which case:
- Let Satoshi know you found him, so he can improve his anonymity in the future
- Destroy the clue
- Don't tell

It'd be great if you could provide proof that you know who Satoshi is, without disclaiming his/her identity. I can't think of any way to do this, though.
Without that proof, I think everyone will just see you as some guy seeking attention... even if there's no way to get such proof.

Are you sure your clue has been overlooked? There has been a lot written about this. There is such a small number of candidates, I'm sure the name has been mentioned on this forum. Spill it gumshoe.

I, too, have narrowed it down to only two possibilities--0 & 1. Although I'm not yet ready to reveal my binary clue, I will offer up images (below) of the only two possible candidates. Please note: In one image, I purposely misspelled the word rarely; In the other image, the woman may or may not be relevant.   For the modest sum of only 10,000 BTC (or is it BTC10000 or 10,000 BTC?), I will provide to anybody interested in my findings the DIRECT link between the original author of Bitcoin on Wikipedia and to one of the images above. Speaking of Wikipedia, it seems as though our Bitcoin page needs a little housecleaning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bitcoin~Bruno~ EDIT 1: Size may or may not matter! (images) EDIT 2: @mufa23: If we are on the same page, feel free to PM me. |

He's been working on something big. Something so great that it will soon change Bitcoin. It is the next stage in the advancement of Bitcoin that has been needing to take it's course.
There was some hype about a pre-announcement for a big announcement to be made on September (if I recall correctly). But from what I remember reading it wasn't something directly related to the Bitcoin development at the source code level (e.g. it wasn't 51% attack protection). Of course this is speculation on top of speculation. |

I figured out who Satoshi is
No you didn't. But if you believe you did you should shut up about it because it would be trivial for the US government, any of their agencies, or worse groups to find you and extract that information. You said you didn't use a web proxy or VPN. For all we know Satoshi is already in some US torture camp in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or wherever else and has already told everything he knows. Not that he can tell much as everyone already has the source. |

I assume you are all taking about a PGP key? Just found his, and will try to warn him if I can figure out how to use it. He's currently using this forum, but sending him a PM, I think, would be too dangerous for him (and maybe me?). And I'm sure neither one of you want to be exiled to Elba.  Then again, that may not be a bad thing. During the months Napoleon stayed on the island, he carried out a series of economic and social reforms to improve the quality of life, partly to pass the time and partly out of a genuine concern for the well-being of the islanders. |

Why would you not disclose who it is? He would be as safe as the rest of the bitcoin dev crew, they are not (at least those that I can recall) hiding their identities and none of them were so far kidnapped / tortured. And with what degree of certainty can you state that you know who Satoshi is? Maybe he is more clever than you and envisaged such a possibility that people will try hard to find out his identity and left some false leads? |

Yes, keep your mouth shut unless and until you have permission to disclose. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
