[Redones]

Waht would you say to satoshi nakamoto ??

For me i'd say thank you for your currency i'm happy to working and playing with it

Wasn't there a thread about this already?

OP, search the forums and you will definitely have your answers.

Other than Namecoin, altcoins weren't really a thing back when Satoshi was still around so I'd probably ask him what he thinks about platforms like Ethereum and NXT as well as his views on proof of stake vs. proof of work and the pros and cons of each.

The above is assuming of course, that the communication goes both ways. Otherwise, I'd probably just say thanks like the OP.

You might be thinking of this thread which was posted a while back:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654600

I admit they're very similar, but OP here is asking what would you say vs. the other thread which asks what question would you ask.

if Satoshi were a dog....

Well, obviously the first question would be: Who are you really?

[neutraLTC]

hows the NSA payroll? 

[Jeremycoin]

Where the heck have you been all this time? There is so many people looking for you, you should apologize to them!

I'd congratulate him for being a modern day genius.
I'd ask him loads of questions probably boring the crap out of him in the process.
I'd ask him if he still has the private keys to his early wallets with a shit load of coin in & finally I'd ask very nicely if he'd give me a few thousand coins seeing as though he already hodl's a bottomless pit's worth he wouldn't miss a few thousand

Obviously I would ask for a ride on his spaceship.

if i find satoshi i will bring a gun with myself and hold him at gunpoint for his privatekeys
but after thanking him for creating bitcoin though...

Certain professionals always get asked the same questions by everyone they meet. For example most double base players always get asked if they wish they play the violin when they are carrying theirs double bases around.

If we knew who he was every single person Satoshi met from then on would ask him if he still has his private keys and if he will give them a few thousand coins.

I'd definitely ask him why did he choose the proof of work method in the long run. As the difficulty increases, the amount of hashing power and computing power also increases, same as the power needed to provide this computers the energy that they need to solve complex mathematical equations. As the demand for power increases, the amount of heat generated also increases, and this heat is basically useless to mankind, only adding a few degrees on our planet's average temperature. There are lot of methods out there for generating bitcoins such as proof of stake and whatnot, but why the power-hungry proof of work method? Proof of stake could be worrying because if a single entity holds a great percentage of the total available supply, he could easily control the movements on the market. That is one reason I know of. But what is the deeper reason why proof of work method is chosen over the other methods?

just ask for a bitcoin fat tip. remember too much power can corrupt him just spread the love.

Hal Finney invented Proof of Work for an anti spam measure in an email application. When Satoshi invented Bitcoin it was the only proof of anything concept available. Proof of Stake was invented years after Bitcoin was. Perhaps Satoshi might have chosen a different type of proof concept if more had been available when he was devising Bitcoin.

lol - Trust me.  As someone involved in an altcoin, Satoshi did Bitcoin a big favor by disappearing.  

[Amph]

i would ask what happened to 1-2M coins, did he sold something at the 1200 peak, did he lost his keys, why he mined so many coins if it was only for testing?

He mined huge numbers of coins because nobody else was prepared to waste time and money keeping the network running by mining them. For over a year nobody cared about Bitcoin and nobody was willing to wreck their computer by running it at 100% CPU indefinitely except Satoshi. Hal Finney kept his computer mining for a long time, but eventually stopped because he was worried about the damage mining was doing to it.

Don't know whether to say thank you or not to Satoshi, but one thing I would like to say is,
"Man! Hat's off to you who brought a revolution in the world of Anonymity".
