It's not him.

This project was started in 2006, before Satoshi was "the man".

Is it a car seat behind his shoulder?

My initial take on this is that this may be where Satoshi Nakamoto got the idea for his pseudonym. Interesting find!

The project maybe. But this particular man's picture is located in the following subdirectories, '/2011/04'.  Suggesting to me that this photo was uploaded more recently than 2006. ;p
edit; NM, On July 31, 2006, players were presented with the following puzzle card, entitled “Billion To One”:  wonder why they reuploaded in 2011...

Not likely to be our Satoshi but the project looks interesting none the less.

Man, memories - I was well into the whole PerplexCity game. I was amazed when someone found out where exactly in the world he's actually  standing. (It's in Kaysersberg, France).

Good times. Still looking for him.

  Sad Panda, is it a principle or what, that you question every single of my posts, or am I just being paranoid?

u are definitely being paranoid.
1. I've never noticed your screen name before. If I quoted something you said, it was the words not you I was focused on
2. The statement I made was not calling you out, it was an observation. All be it, one that while probably correct of a new date the photo was moved again, had no intention of descrediting you.
    "But this particular man's picture is located in the following subdirectories, '/2011/04'"
3. The internet sucks. Being that we are not having a real life convo the lag in reply time means that ordinarily easy corrections that could be made in a conversation have to wait here.

4. I love all the childrens. =)

The research page kinda leaves us hanging; http://findsatoshi.wordpress.com/the-research/

Did they ever figure out who he was?

[Luno]

Well,  I like to argue myself. Sorry for derailing the tread. It has just happend a few times now and I've only been around since recently.

Greetings to you Panda

Not yet.

WOW! Because of this thread, I found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perplex_City

Image if something like this was reintroduced, but this time incorporate Bitcoin into the mix somehow.

Yeah, not Satoshi.  Satoshi has red hair and a big handlebar moustache.

[bittenbob]

Yeah, not Satoshi.  Satoshi has red hair and a big handlebar moustache.

So he's Ronald McDonald? You heard it from Gavin folks. LOL

[edit] It's makeup paint but it looks a lot like a handlebar mustache. Get on it Bruno!

Those were the only 2 clues I was missing. Thanks to you both, I found Satoshi Nakamoto.

Why would you want to out someone who wants to stay private and has done nothing wrong?

Interesting post! So tell us, muyuu, where are you hiding him? Seriously, I never thought of it that way before. Very good point.!The only way I can answer that is that it's human nature to hunt a person that seems to have have gone into hiding. Yes, a copped-out answer, but that's the best I can give. I'm sure others brainier than I will have a better take on your question.

I think it would be easier just to leave him alone, instead of trying too hard in justifying the unjustifiable 

All he's done is contributing a fine system to the public.

We've crossed paths before, but not in a bad (I'm pretty sure), and not stating such now. Given...

I have no idea about Kronos and its operation, but Bitcoinica was run terribly. I don't know why would anyone extrapolate what happened to Bitcoinica to any other business, while still keeping the slightest degree of trust in Bitcoinica. Just doesn't make sense.

So Bitcoinica was running on a cheap cloud server, got hacked and learnt absolutely nothing from the incident. Got hacked again, while in another cheap cloud server (in Rackspace, who also offers several more secure options including one aimed at financial security standards - yet they opted to be cheap again despite the massive running profits) and you somehow still give them more credibility than you'd give to a new service that, for starters, had a beta testing period. Which Bitcoinica didn't. Bitcoinica was running, apparently, less than 1 week after ZhouTong laid the first line of code. To top it off, they made significant changes to their core business structure in complete secrecy, and when asked about particular details they repeatedly lied. It simply doesn't get much worse or unprofessional than this.

As with any other "financial" bitcoin operation, not running under any regulations and not liable, obviously I'd put any amount of BTC in Kronos at my own risk. If you're not ready to lose them, don't put them there. This should apply to any business not offering you any sort of legal guarantee over your funds.

...,I must admit, I like you. Upon reading several of your posts, another thing I need to give you is that I've yet to encounter any grammatical faux pas in your pennings. Only a handful of posters on this board can lay claim to such an admirable feat, if you get my driftwood.
