Does anyone know Satoshi Nakamoto's IP address(es)? The forums he posted on should be able to figure that out. He posted on p2pfoundation.org, here on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3, and the cryptography mail archive.

(cf. the related Bitcoin StackExchange question)
don't you think the guy who created bitcoin didn't know how to hide himself, he was definitely using TOR or VPN to hide his location and identity.

7 years back ? I highly doubt he was protecting his IP back then when bitcoin was just an idea, noone was.

Satoshi holds an incredible amount of BTC  (UNSPENT).  My theory is that he never thought it would get so valuable and moved to a different comp abandoning his older computer with the Wallet on it.  If you trace the genesis Block and then continue on you will see they are unspent and still remain on those addresses.
I think Satoshi is kicking himself in the ass in hindsight

If he was just a supporter, then it would be possible, but for someone to abandon clearly a life project, i highly doubt it.
Would sooner thought he doesn't want for it to seam like creator is cashing out, and he's protecting bitcoin reputation.

cheers

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Well he most definitely was, he took many precautions to protect his identity. He always used Tor and he registered the domain bitcoin.org with an offshore domain provider (anonymousspeech.com) and paid them with cash in the mail, also did the same for one of his email addresses.

I found out something here :

it was found here https://bitcointalk.org/oldSiteFiles/screen2.png

And lol, I thought for a second that I've found satoshi's IP but later on realized that this is just an IP that is generally routed to home network devices  Sad

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

On what are you basing that assertion?

Judging from the language which the client was, I can fairly say that Satoshi Nakamoto is not a native of Japanese but just used the pseudonym so as to conceal his true identities. Also, he asked people if they can translate the client into different languages, and if Satoshi was a native speaker of Niponggo, then he would probably do the translation himself. Also if you can read his posts in this forum and other websites, his proficiency in English is outstanding and is very profound (and if you note the time of his activities in his forum, he may be living somewhere in UTC +0, British maybe? Or just having a strict sleeping routine).
