This all seems very illuminati like with how they are having secret meeting without anyone knowing.
Well wouldn't you if you had created a monster wanted to keep it private and anonymous and have people wondering after I sure as hell would want to keep my privacy until it was much bigger and mainstream. Even if was fully mainstream lot of people want to ask so many questions and in a way am sure wants to remain but again only time will tell if will announce where he is what he or she is doing and no doubt satoshi is reading among bitcointalk somewhere. Hello to you Miss or Sir I think that this secrecy thingy runs much deeper: http://extropians.weidai.com/extropians.2Q99/3838.html (note the URL, and read more here: http://extropians.weidai.com/) Nextropians.
Heywood Floyd (anon081@yahoo.com) Mon, 14 Jun 1999 19:52:45 -0700 (PDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] [ Next ][ Previous ] Next in thread: Michael M. Butler Dear list members,
Call me an anonymous coward, a 'deepthroat', a Judas. If and when you're done calling me names, I hope you hear what I have to say.
I am one of the trusted, one of the select, one of the chosen. Chosen you say? Yes, believe it or not there very much is an in-crowd within the transhumanist community. If you hang out long enough you may figure out who is part of the in-crowd and who is is not. For the remainder of the post, lets just call them the 'Nextropians'.
This elite network of Nextropians have their own exclusive and very secret list. No, it is not the extropians-select or the Polymath lists. How do you join this secret society? You don't, you're invited. It helps if you are already signed up for cryonic suspension. To them, that financial commitment is a sign you take seriously your extropic goals.
Don't beleive me? Ask Dr. Ralph Merkle, if there is not a secret society of cryonicists. He may say 'no', but I can assure you otherwise.
So what is the point of my post? Ask yourself, why the secrecy in the first place? Doesn't the knowledge that their are some extremely smart people conducting their most extropic affairs in secret give you the warm fuzzies? What is their motivation? Are they tired of all the mundanes encroaching on their territory? Are they afraid of the mortals shutting them down? Are they afraid of the government opressing their strong drive for freedom?
Although I have not revealed the exact identity of the group or their virtual wearabouts, I must make public their existence.
**As we approach the future at ever faster speeds, I believe it is the existence of such secrecy that fosters increasingly dangerous memes - those of 'Elitism', 'Superiority' and 'Exclusivity'. Can we say 'Ubergoo'?!
Spread the Knowledge!
Anonymous Coward out.

Wait.... I am a little bit confused. I thought Nick Szabo was a pseudonym... You guys are now saying it's a real name?
Yes, that's what they're saying. They also have a photo above proving that Greg Maxwell is a former roadie for Crosby, Stills & Nash. It may be Maxwell in the rear left of this image but the face is cut off. He got the roadie gig because he's the bastard child of Jerry Garcia (humor at the expense of Greg's mother). You, who choose to lead, must follow But if you fall you fall alone. If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home. No wonder!

I am both sad and happy to tell you that long-time Extropy Institute/Extropy magazine/Extropy chat list member -- and honored cypherpunk and Bitcoin pioneer – was declared clinically dead this morning and is now being cryopreserved.
Hal was diagnosed with ALS five years ago. He made it clear that once he lost the ability to communicate, he did not want his vital functions supported any further but should be allowed to cease functioning and promptly be cryopreserved. Hal and Fran Finney arrived in Scottsdale, Arizona on Tuesday where he was checked into ICU of a hospital near Alcor. After administration of drugs to ensure no consciousness, his ventilator was removed. Although the doctors expected all breathing to cease within an hour, Hal’s body kept going until shortly before 9:00 am this morning, August 28, 2014.
Immediately after pronouncement of legal death, Alcor’s standby team went into action, restoring circulation, ventilation, administering an array of medications, and initiating external cooling. Surgery is currently underway to enable us to replace Hal’s blood and interstitial fluids with cryoprotectant. Once perfusion is finished we will be able to plunge Hal’s temperature down past the freezing point without any significant ice formation. Once he is down to around -110 degC we will slow cooling and take a couple more days to reach the final storage temperature of -196 degC. After that, Hal will be placed in long-term storage and cared for until the day when repair and revival may be possible.
Hal’s wife, Fran (also an Alcor member) has stayed by Hal’s side throughout and is observing our procedures firsthand.
Since Hal is open about his Alcor membership and said that he would be happy for us to tell people about his choice if it might be good for cryonics, we will be issuing a press release, as well as writing something more extensive for *Cryonics* magazine and elsewhere. If you have thoughts on Hal and his life and work, please send them to me.
Hal, I know I speak for many when I say that I look forward to speaking to you again sometime in the future and to throwing a party in honor of your revival.

http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/2.10/extropians.html?pg=5&topic=Along the way there was an attempt to create a nomenclature that lived up to Extropian doctrine. And why not? This was a total philosophy, and so it deserved its own proprietary rhetoric. Soon a whole panoply of extropically flavored neologisms had sprung into existence: Extropia (coined by Tom Morrow), a community embodying Extropian values; Extropolis (from Max More), an Extropian city located in space; extropiate (from Dave Krieger), any drug having extropic effects. There was smart-faced (from Russell Whitaker), "the condition resulting from social-use extropiates: 'Let's get smart-faced.'" And there was the instantly-memorable disasturbation (another Dave Krieger invention), "idly fantasizing about possible catastrophes (ecological collapse, full-blown totalitarianism) without considering their likelihood or considering their possible solutions/preventions."
Further along there was a concerted attempt to flesh out the Extropian dream. Tom Morrow, the Extropian legal theorist, wrote articles about "privately produced law," showing how systems of rules can and do arise spontaneously from voluntary transactions among free agents, without the assistance of Mother Government. He also wrote about "Free Oceana," a proposed community of Extropians living on artificial islands floating around on the high seas. Is it possible that Tom Morrow aka T.0.Morrow penned the nym Satoshi Nakamoto? ...And in a short time, Extropianism seemed to have acquired all the trappings of a major cultural phenomenon, with a succession of parties, weekly lunches, T-shirts ("Forward! Upward! Outward!"), and even an Extropian "nerd house," called Nextropia, in Cupertino.
Operated by Romana Machado, the aforementioned "Mistress Romana" who in real life works in the Newton division of Apple Computer (she's also the inventor of Stego, a program that compliments traditional encryption schemes - see "Security Through Obscurity," Wired 2.03, page 29), Nextropia is an Extropian boarding house, a community of friends. Just don't call it a "commune." Who lived there? Romana Machado - Geoff Dale - David Gordon - Nick Szabo - Russell Whitaker <follow the link above the fold if you desire to learn about Regina Pancake>

You, too, could join the party - the Extropaganza Maximum! Just remember, when you get there, that it's ... right hand out in front of you, fingers spread and pointing at the sky. Grasp the other person's right hand, intertwine fingers, and close.
Then zoom your hand up, straight up, all the way up!
Upward! Outward! To the moon! I'm leaning toward the blockchain being an experiment in developing a mechanism for the transfer of information over and beyond money, smart contracts, etc.: DNA, et al.

Another poor guy Does it really matter who invented fire I guess it does.... Most countries want to know, that this is not a big N$A wack job... or a big hidden conspiracy to dominate digital money. It's not as if they did not try it before... Eg.. The backdoor they created on hardware, like Cisco routers. If the inventor or creator of Bitcoin was known, a lot of countries would have most probably already adopted it as a currency. The clandestine nature of the currency, created it's own bumps in the road towards success. A public global team, with a joint goal of creating a transparent digital currency, would have been more successfull from the start, in my opinion. Just read all the discussions on those old Bulletin boards and you would know what I am saying...

I think satoshi is probably more than one person but Nick could very well be involved (is that even his real name as well?) This all seems very illuminati like with how they are having secret meeting without anyone knowing.
A secret meeting where they post a picture of it? Not very secret. I'm sure the event was publicly known as well.

Hal, I know I speak for many when I say that I look forward to speaking to you again sometime in the future and to throwing a party in honor of your revival.

http://borg.uu3.net/ldetweil/medusa/cypherpunks/bigmacs/apologyIn my new realizations I am particularly inspired by your underlying agenda of tax evasion, black marketeering, and the overthrow of governments. DEATH TO ORDER! Hedonistic delights like gambling dens and prostitution rings would be a Love Boat for everyone, but they aren't enough. I have had some neat fantasies lately about starting new drug nextworks and assassination enterprises. What delights await us! The possibilities of untraceable cash and anonymity are truly liberating -- we can build up internation criminal organizations and launder our money freely, and avoid all detection! The vanquished world will lick our boots! I hope that you will let me in on your finetuned Cryptoanarchist secrets that would make Goldfinger and Hitler proud. If you don't, that's okay too. I'm really unstable and there's even a rumor that I'm actually an FBI agent, so that it would be better if you didn't tell me anything that would be upsetting to someone who practices law enforcement. Wait wait wait, I already lost track of the discussion. Why is cryonics involved in the discussion of Satoshi Nakamoto = Nick Szabo? I'm getting confused now. Because Hal Finney was cryonized (is that the right word?). That and fridge logic. Because most of Bitcoin's forefathers want to be Popsicles ®. I think he is saying, that all the ugly nerds sitting at this table are involved in cryonics together with the guy from Grateful Dead and they are all Satoshi Nakamoto, right Bruno? Nailed it, like a coffin. http://borg.uu3.net/ldetweil/medusa/cypherpunks/bigmacs/apologyI am sorry to have upset anyone who has ever watched this mailing list. I was continually prodding you to discover the truth, but there was nothing to discover! I kept telling you to send mail to your leaders yourself, to put pressure on them to reveal their knowledge, to investigate the claims of reality of identity that were extremely suspicious, and follow up past inert, passive, lifeless viewing of the text that scrolls by your faces and hypnotizes you daily, more mesmerizing and psychologically dangerous and deadly than television! But we all know that this was a delusion now, a faded dream. The list is our outlet to reach out to other real people, to make friends, to achieve grand goals. As the leaders reassure us, upon their honor as patriot Cryptoanarchists and honest human beings, there are no fake identities anywhere in all of cyberspace, and on the Cypherpunks list in particular! All my past claims are nothing but bizarre, wretched, pathetic, deluded fantasies and hallucinations. In psychology, it is called `projection'.

Well now, I'm starting to get really confused. One of them could possibly be Satoshi Nakamoto? I don't think so. Again the same question, why is cryonics involved in this kind of discussion on finding who is the person behind Satoshi? EDIT Because most of Bitcoin's forefathers want to be Popsicles®.

It is not involved, I think they are talking about Hal Finney but this is not related with Nick Szabo (the one in the image) and neither Satoshi Nakamoto ...

I know Hal Finney's body is cryopreserved, and at some point, people thought that Hal Finney is Satoshi himself. Okay I'm getting the picture now.

Haha Bruno has always long stretching theories but there's always some links to back it up with, he is a deep-digger. And ofcourse Hal Finney is related, he was the receiver of the very first Bitcoin transaction. It must have been a way to honor him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Finney_(cypherpunk) With this in mind I do not think Hal Finney is/was Satoshi because he would not send coins to himself.

Don't you find it ironic that those involved in cryonics created a system to try to eliminate hard cold cash?
