Adam Back thinks he is the inventor of Bitcoin

[Amph]

this whole claiming himself to be satoshi is just to ride the wave to be notorious and get rich, i guess if he was really satoshi he would not need to go out and claim that he is satoshi

real satoshi would not reveal his identity he is rich already he don't need exposure

And Marshall Long thinks knows that he invented the pyramid [in 2009, the same year he claimed to have gotten involved in Bitcoin while working at some spray booth company in Dallas prior to teaching college courses).

The Szabo clasped hands facepalm.

From http://www.hashcash.org/bitcoin/

Note hashcash is just the mining function used by bitcoin. Bitcoin, which is the work of the psuedonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, is an extremely clever innovation and invention comprising multiple features and cutting edge new concepts, not fully realised in any previous electronic cash scheme. Bitcoin represents a leap forward in electronic cash technology demonstrating for the first time that a respendable, distributed, virtual scarcity based system could be built.

And we want to know who invented Bitcoin.... We will find out for sure

There are too many people doing it just for sarcasm or for trolling, and I don't trust any of them because I can write that I am the Bitcoin creator too and without proof nobody can believe it.

Look at his stupid argument to promote himself as inventor of Bitcoin



Everyone knows Craig Wright is the actual inventor and owner of Bitcoin.

SO you think Adam Back is not but Craig Wright invested Bitcoin, funny isn't it. I'm very sure both are not Satoshi. If Craig Wright his he would have done what he was told to do, to proof his claim.

None of those two guys who invented bitcoin i dont know whats on their minds and what they could get on claiming such false informations to public.Anyone could claim that they are satoshi nakamoto. Even the creator himself didnt tend to reveal himself on public because of privacy reasons and also on security of his life.

These are apples and oranges.

Craig wright is an obvious fraud and scam. 

If you ever heard him talk, he comes off as a pompous ass.  You recall how much credibility Gavin Andressen lost because he backed up a fraudster.

Adam Back, on the other hand, seems to be marketing his skills and his background, which seems to be extensively verified in the community (and he was even cited in the whitepaper by satoshi)

Whether Back is bragging or not might be another story, but he is neither lying about his background nor is he actually claiming to be Satoshi.

[Blawpaw]

Anyone can say they are the true inventor of Bitcoin from what it seems, but everyone knows he will never find out who was the real creator.

[digaran]

Sorry Raw but first I had to go to the bathroom when I saw "OWNER OF BITCOIN" and now that I'm back lets talk serious, Satoshi only owns his pants and nearly a million bitcoins other than that he donated his invention to the world when he uploaded the source code to the public.
I'm going to play along, imagine he is the real Satoshi, now what? do we have to bow down or something?

Adam Back is a realistic proponent for a satoshi nakamoto. It's clear that satoshi was very influenced by Adam Back. Adam Back is mentioned in the bitcoin whitepaper so his description of hashcash is not that far fetched.

Satoshi is most likely someone in the core dev team or a couple of them since they are the best coders in the game. Some of them are actually better than satoshi.

Everyone knows Craig Wright is the actual inventor and owner of Bitcoin.

This is not a big deal anymore, anyone on the internet can say a lie and claim even they are not. I don't believe unless he shows up the evidence that he is truly what he is claiming... I think the creator or inventor of bitcoin will remain unknown for his privacy and security indeed.

[franky1]

adam backs involvement in bitcoins invention is the same as a cavemans involvement in the combustion engine.
yea a caveman invented fire, and without fire a combustion engine cannot work.

but adam backs hashcash is DIFFERENT to the ACTUAL PoW bitcoin uses.
yes there was some inspiration. but adam back was not directly involved in coding bitcoin in 2008-2013,

adam back is just playing the caveman card by trying to get fame for something losely connected to him

all adam back wants to do is beat his own chest to make people think he is worth investing $90m dollars in
the thing is adam back is not finding it easy to repay investors. and those are getting antsy about repayments and plans of commercialising things like elements/bitcoin to get some funds back.

[nelson4lov]

There's absolutely no need trying hard to know Satoshi's identity. Dude doesn't want the publicity and fame. If he wanted us to know about him, He would have done so by now. Believe it or not, Neither Adam Black or Craig Wright are satoshi.  Soon, A new guy will pop up claiming to be satoshi again. This story goes on and on.

Anyone can say they are the true inventor of Bitcoin from what it seems, but everyone knows he will never find out who was the real creator.

[jbreher]

Now, if Hashcash and Bitcoin are exactly the same thing minus the inflation control is up for debate possibly.

Not. Even. Close.

Adam Back invented hashcash? Sure. And indeed, hashcash was a significant step forward. But to claim that Bitcoin is nothing but hashcash with inflation control is an absurd overreach. To make this claim is to ignore the central game theoretic advance of coupling reward with validation. You know - the significant breakthrough achieved by Satoshi.

You'd think someone who developed such an important innovation would be happy to stand on his merits. Without resorting to dishonest used car salesman levels of marketing manipulation. It belies an insecurity in his station in life (which from the outside already looks quite elevated, ffs).

Inasmuch as we don't yet know who Satoshi was, Adam would be a plausible candidate. Improbable, but plausible. At least he has not made this claim. But in the meantime, he should be publicly shamed for this arrogant unjustifiable claim.

This nonsense must stop!!! When are these fame-whores going to quit their aggression for fame and let us be? Is he different from the other fakes? Aren't they telling us the same story? I want someone to come out and perform a transaction from Satoshi's stick of coins and we'd believe him.. Simple!!!

Oh, a famous trolling phisher is back. Was you released or it's just spring fever? How is your "Look-you-private-key-here" venture, how many noobs have you scammed so far?

[requester]

How pity of him. How could one dress as founder of bitcoin. We know Satoshi is the founder of bitcoin and if he really wannted to expose himself then he won't hide identity. May be he have some plan for future so he had hidden his identity.

[BiTZeD]

Anyone that is claiming to be Satoshi is not Satoshi, this is as simple as this. So you can know that he is not the inventor of Bitcoin. But he can be however be the inspirator of Bitcoin.

And all of his attempts to find ways to generate revenue is really putting a tremendous burden on the network.  The unnecessary crippling of the transaction throughput in an attempt to drive demand for Lightning has driven away so many companies and investors.

It is deplorable what Blockstream and the Core programmers have done in their own interests.  Even if they are superior cryptographers, their beliefs that they should build an add-on system to divert fees from mining and into their own pockets means they are simply too corrupt to be at the core of blockchain.  We need to get BU going now.  

we needs MANY teams, not just 2.
we need these teams to communicate together and find consensus. not shout scare stories where cores unpaid blockstream interns shout to other teams to split off. while playing the victim card 'that other teams might split off' (facepalm)

we need to stop gmaxwell from being the moderator of the technical discussions, irc, mailinglist and githubs. and be more open. less controlled.

otherwise we end up with the empty argument of. 'if core doesnt code something, it means no one can have it. so by not having the code available means they see no one using it.. which they then say no one needs it or desires it, because there is no stats of utility' which has been a self fulfilling prophecy mindset those fools have had for a couple years.

much like dont offer oliver twist a bowl of food and he wont ask for another. thus they think they have cured starvation, by not feeding the poor

this can only be done if people start caring about BITCOIN. and not the CEO of the banker funded company blockstream and his CTO business partner

As I said before, We are going to have at least 10+ candidates claiming to be Real satoshi but the real satoshi would never reveal his identity in such way. The only way to identify the real identity of satoshi is a verified signature from the wallet address which was used to claim early mining rewards. If he has lost the access to that wallet then it is difficult to prove his identity even for real satoshi.

Real Satoshi Nakamoto has opened his 'Right Eye'. He said, "behold ! many will come in my name just to sit on my Bitcoin Throne to hope to get a Nobel Prize on Economic Science; but fear not ! I am watching. Any one has rights to play a role in my Bitcoin and Blockchain Drama."
