Identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is known

[playtin]

At least one person knows who Satoshi is.

Technically this is only true if you assume that he is still alive.

Unless you get metaphysical and count God.

If you do this then at least two "persons" would know who Satoshi is

Check out "Satoshi's" website...  very professional!  No it's probably just a guise, right?

my 7am tinfoil hat moment.
maybe mochizuki didnt write bitcoin. maybe a robot twin did


ok that was for laughs, but seriously lets move this mochizuki myth to the speculation or trash thread.

This guy apparently has zero programming experience.

Are you sure? Apparently he actually does know c++...

The Fast Company piece got this part right:

"Nakamoto would have to be "a world-class programmer"
with "a deep understanding" of C++ the programming language
and an extensive background in cryptography, economics,
and peer-to-peer networking."

"Knows C++" is a million miles from "world-class programmer"...
Which requires a 5-10 year obsession...
Plus all of the other expertise listed...
Not to mention business experience to structure a First Adopter Ponzi scheme.

But I'm sure if Nakamoto exists... he is 35-45.

My guess is it's Grigori !!!

Lol, guess we didn't realize just how many amazing people just don't want the credit.

OP is a sensationalist.  Nothing is known until you find proof.  What a let-down.

I was kidding, kinda disappointing that you did not detect it straight away.

As probably the only forum member to have actually met Shinichi Mochizuki, I can assure you that he isn't Satoshi. Shinichi is a genius without bounds as evident by his work on the ABC conjecture; however, he seems far more interested in Teichmüller theory than monetary policy. Number theorists don't instantly make good cryptographers. Now if someone asserted Satoshi is Wenbo Mao or Dan Boneh, I'd be far more inclined to believe them.

This guy apparently has zero programming experience.

Who said he actually wrote the program? He might have worked with a couple of other people to make Bitcoin.

This guy apparently has zero programming experience.

Why would he need it? A person like this could read {insertLanguage} in 21 days! and actually understand everything and then some. Not to mention, programming is just very elegant math, and Bitcoin is primarily just a type of mathematical construct, programming only gets hard when you trying to recreate the representation of the world we understand physically.

Might?   He is not Satoshi.  Satoshi may be more than one person of course.

[aceking]

every day the same question , who cares ?

[charleshoskinson]

Ok people, just ignore the guy who actually met the person you're speculating about. I'm out. This thread's a blackhole 

[Littleshop]

Not to mention business experience to structure a First Adopter Ponzi scheme.

For meanings of "Ponzi scheme" that are incorrect.  Go to a dictionary and look ok Ponzi. Bitcoin does not even resemble a Ponzi scheme.

[richie88]

Close enough.

[lixiaolai]

irrelevant.

If you want a pic too..

He looks like "my" Satoshi Nakamoto

lol
All "Satoshis" look the same to me.
