Ripple was a fledgeling project before Bitcoin as even the simplest of Wiki searches will show you. Read past the first sentence about the release date and look at the early development years before you jump up and down shouting the emails must be fake because of this 'fact'.
Secondly, Satoshi tapped out after starting something that changed the world. Mike has every right to share these historic conversations in my opinion.
Interesting how the only people dead against it are small blockers, because what's written in these emails again reinforces that Satoshi always intended for Bitcoin to scale by way of block size increase.

Why haven't you shared your archive? In your original post, you very clearly gave the intention that what you received you would then share with the bitcoin community. Why suddenly keep that to yourself? Those who shared with you intended for those e-mails to be published. We would love to see what you have. If you'd like, I will gladly help you go through the e-mails line by line and analyze them to determine if they seem safe enough to share (just like I did with Mike's e-mails). There was some content that upon further reflection was somewhat personal and could potentially be used in an attempt to DOX Satoshi. Second, I realized that people would use the emails to justify whatever roadmap position they have. It was a bad idea to attempt to construct the archive. Satoshi is gone and not coming back. We should respect his wishes and let him go. Bitcoin moved on. "Never say never."

But not because we need a leader, or even a dictator to say what we must do, but because he is (was?) a real genius and it's sad to not read his wise words.

This must be a joke: So many questions ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) But it's rare that I encounter truly revolutionary ideas. The last time I was this excited about a new monetary scheme was when I discovered Ripple. If you have any thoughts on Ripple, I'd also love to hear them. Ripple? funny how mike hearn and satoshi are time travellers talking about XRP in 2009 when it wasnt even a thing until 2012 The original Ripple didn't even have XRP. That was added when I changed form a good idea to a scam. The e-mails say nothing about XRP - only Ripple. I should have just taken the few moments to read further rather than making this more about whether or not it was factual. I'm sorry for casting strong doubts towards you initially. My mistake.

Parts of these emails are indeed not legit, but what you go on to say might well be worthy of further investigation. Thank you.

It's what I would have done - abandoned the old pseudonym and started over with a new one and hide in plain sight.

Im skeptical, but they probably are real. I wish hearn had published them prior to his exit from bitcoin and the development team as a whole.

And now what does Ripple represent?

Whether real or not should be immaterial. You should be able to figure out what is right or wrong in Bitcoin, without needing a "messiah" figure to tell you. They are real, though, I agree. The GMax butthurt is irrefutable confirmation of that.

something doesn't add up...why share these now??? What does Mike hearn stand to gain here is this an attempt for redemption of sorts? I also wonder if the assumption of 1 core = 1 vote is sound. If the majority of nodes are on standard computers, it seems likely that an attacker could use FPGA or custom ASICs
From mike hearn...to satoshi.....in 2009.... gtfo.... this smells FAKE Look up smokestoomuch - here in the forum - he was the first to consider using GPUs to hash publicly, FPGAs, let alone asics weren't even on anyones radar - so I can't believe this is legit. Just because you did not hear about ASICs until 2017, doesn't mean others were not aware of the potential effect they would have on Bitcoin. This suggestion is perfectly reasonable. Do you think a random individual would attack using GPUs? I don't think so. Not even back in 2010.

Why did Satoshi abandon his idea of built in escrow with a release for merchant use? He said it was a good idea and would be needed...then nothing?
Too hard to build in?
Also funny how he was aware of ripple... if memory serves me right the founder of that and still going was once thought to be Satoshi. For sure he had contact with him as well.

Whoa.. I didn't know satoshi actually replies to emails ..
Satoshi disappeared a long time ago, but when he was active he was like a normal person he had interactions with people through emails, in fact he used to have an account in this forum an account that has long been inactive like all the accounts that belonged to the genius we know as satoshi.

It's nice to see a bit of history of how it started. They can just easily send that amount before because it has no significant value but now even one bitcoin is hard to accumulate. I hope OP will share more of the history to know more of how the genius started it all.

I don't know much about Satoshi, as I know he is very mysterious person, no one knows exactly where he came from and where is he today, but no one can deny that Satoshi is the creator of the first digital currency in The world we know as bitcoin today. His discovery is so great in the world of cryptocurrency, He's like an anonymous hero who no one wants to know. I hope someday he will show himself, because there are many people who want say "thank you" to him.
