Who Is Satoshi Nakamoto?

[MicroGuy]

It seems that Satoshi was a master of anonymity even before he knew how popular BTC would be.

Unless he was a time traveler, which would mean, he would have known exactly how popular BTC would be.

Who cares? He obviously wanted to be left alone. We should respect that.

He's obviously skilled at coding and could set up a web server with a time delay mechanism timed to release proof of his identity five years after his last login to it. If he had an accident it would reveal his identity five years after his death. He wouldn't have to trust anyone and could obfuscate the code on the server to prevent anyone with access to it discovering his identity.

This is just hilarious, thanks!

The following is the first instance on this forum in which the title of this thread was posed?

Thanks for including that poem I wrote

I like the idea of starting a "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?" internet meme.  Maybe instead of one big movie, we make a bunch of short little mini cartoons/videos/stories, with each one possible version of who Satoshi might be.  And no need to coordinate...we can generate this meme in a distributed fashion whereby each of us bitcoiners writes our own stories, youtube videos, songs, poems, cartoons, etc. and each of us post to our favorite social networking sites.

That being said, I pledge 10 BTC to the first person to make such a video.

Satoshi is never going to be found out .. unless he wants to be

Who is your father? that's the same question when you asking the creator of Bitcoin

[jt byte]

He is smart enough that he will keep them hidden from general public, since it's safer for his life, his coins are worth a lot, so he will not gamble his life on public

I believe the USA gov. knows who he is if they are interested, he must have leaked his IP somewhere.
Also his main e-mail account was hacked, there could be some ID info there but i find it hard.

Yes you are also asking yourself when you asking who is satoshi nakamoto. He is the reason why many people helps financially and mentally with this bitcoin. So that you must know who is he .

From the Inter-Web..

The name Satoshi is of Japanese origin.

'Satoshi is generally used as a boy's name. It consists of 7 letters and 3 syllables and is pronounced Sa-to-shi.'

'In the U.S. in 2014 less than 5 boys given the name. Less than 5 girls were given the name.'

The meaning of Satoshi is "clear thinking, quick witted, wise".

There are definitely not enough options on that list. Too many options, only vague clues, and a lot of mystery.

how do you know that his real name is satoshi ? is just like looking pin in a haystack

[Amph]

how do you know that his real name is satoshi ? is just like looking pin in a haystack

in fact there is high chances that it isn't, seeing how he wanted to stay anon

the fact that he was helped by another guy for building this forum make me believe that he was helped too when he build bitcoin, for this reason i think that satoshi nakamoto is something like "skydrow" or "rg mechanics" or whatever...

[bitcoin1992]

I think he made a logical choice of disappearing. There are plenty of organizations who would get him as soon as his identity is uncovered.

[ifightformerkel]

He will never appear, because he has million of bitcoins and this mean,
he is or will be one of the richest persons on this planet.
So when he will be seen, then his live will be not more the same,

he would be pursued at every turn he make for the rest of his life.

[Argwai96]

Satoshi Nakamoto is an idea of a collective group form to establish this idealism that bitcoin could bring something more to the world, i say we could all be satoshi Nakamoto just by thinking what bitcoin can offer to the others.

It's safe to assume that at this point satoshi's coin are lost forever, he doesn't own them. It wouldn't benefit anyone if he went public tho, he would still be threatened even if he legitimately lost control of his coins.

[bitcoin revo]

I think it matters not who Satoshi is. The only thing that matters is if he is still alive and if/when he plans to spend any of his Bitcoin hoard.

[HigsonPP]

Satoshi is a noble human.He is an ordinary person who did something extraordinary.Our economy needs more people like him with innovative ideas . Just for the record , he's the creator of Bitcoin.

But you are talking about a guy/person who is quoted as saying "noone should ever delete a wallet", so I am not so sure about that myself, only time will tell I suppose.

Lol... really? an "ordinary" person? ...
