Satoshi's timezone

[NxtChg]

The original whitepaper PDF has this record:

"/CreationDate(D:20090324113315-06'00')"

This suggests that his timezone was UTC-6.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%E2%88%9206:00#/media/File:Timezones2008_UTC-6.png

Pretty narrow strip

Wikipedia quotes an analysis of his posts that puts him in either UTC-5 or UTC-6.


Besides the date, it also records that he used OpenOffice 2.4.

[GriffinHeart]

Gah, just give up on this whole satoshi crap.
He obliviously doesn't want to be recognised for his creation, so leave him be.

[Zz]

So what? Where did he live? How do you know when he publish his works and posts? Maybe he was in the internet for nights only, maybe he's a night person. This proves nothing.

[Delek]

We will find out who Satoshi is after, like, 50 years of Bitcoin. And that day will be amazing.

PS: I think Satoshi is Google, btw.

[Delek]

Why would we find out after 50 years? And what hard evidence do you have that Satoshi is google? (BTW I think unicorns are real and pigs fly to get around. Just saying)

I'm not in a court, no need to prove anything. I simply think that Satoshi is Google.    I can't? Sorry, I will think like you then.

So Mike Hearn?

I don't have an opinion on that. But I am quite surprised by your hunch that Satoshi wrote/sent his white paper from the central US. I'd be even more surprised if it turned out Satoshi was American...but, what fact do I have to base my shock on - none.

Nice find.

Mike Hearn is not Google. Nice straw man fallacy.

There is no guarantee that that is his actual timezone. It is possible that he changed his clock to further hide himself.

He also could have posted at odd hours do that people searching for him would be following a red herring.

Satoshi just wanted to be left alone,
We can do that much for him.

problem is we don't even know if he really wanted to be left alone. Satoshi just left without a word, so, for all we know, something could've happened to him/her/it/them.

Flyover country?  Way off.

I can disclose you meddling kids should be looking in UTC-9.

I thought that Newsweek did an article on finding Satoshi. I'm not sure if the article is just a joke from Newsweek, or that they actually found him. But if it's genuine, then Satoshi really did want to continue living life in peace without any connections with Bitcoin.

they found dorian nakamoto, who denies being Satoshi.
if satoshi is around and want to be left alone, he should sign a message.

[tadakaluri]

By late 2010, however, Nakamoto Satohi began to fade from the scene. While he always worked with other individuals, he was careful not to reveal any personal details with the people he collaborated with online in the Cryptography Mailing List at metzdowd.com. This ensured that he retained his cloak of invisibility.

Since then, several attempts have been made at trying to identify Nakamoto Satoshi. Most people assume that he is Japanese, if only due to the name; this is more than likely a cover given his use of language and perfect English, and the fact that the original bitcoin.org domain was registered by a Finnish company based in Helsinki. Maybe these were all subtle tricks to throw us off his trail.

Google represents everything that is wrong with the internet. Bitcoin represents the power of what the internet can be when the individual is in control not large companies and governments.

I think DPR is Satoshi 

[jacktheking]

Satoshi want to be a anonymous. Let him or she or they be until the day they decide it is time to reveal.

Hah. You got to be kidding me. Google might be the biggest technology company today but I dont think they created Bitcoin. Google is a branded company. If they create something, they will definitely promotes it to their thousands of followers.

Mike Hearn is not Google. Nice straw man fallacy.

He's ex-Google, however Bitcion is 6 years old, so he could have been working there at the time of it's start, at the release of Satoshi's white paper.

No straw man fallacy, just cold hard facts:

P.S. Google is not actually a person, it's the people at Google that work their passion projects within the Google think tank machine...

[RGBKey]

Just because that's the timestamp doesn't mean that's where he lives, or was residing, it could be changed to literally anything.

[el kaka22]

Is this a proof that satoshi is not a Japanese (though his name is like a Japanese)? Japan's timezone is UTC+9, and his timezone is way different from that.

Anyway, satoshi's identity is still unknown and I doubt that he is already dead in some accident...?

[Delek]

Satoshi is the new jesus. <3
