Another *Potential* Identifying Piece of Evidence on Satoshi

[jaywaka2713]

Just get his IP address from his posts/account....

I'm sure there are admins here who have more information on the matter.

Impossible. Satoshi used anonymousspeech.com for hosting Bitcoin.org. He probably used them as a VPN for anonymous browsing as well.

Do you know what mailing list he was talking about? Was it the cypherpunks mailing list? If it was, in that listserv archive you shared, the archive for 2007 and 2008 aren't there.

I heard Satoshi was actually a pen name for Theodor Seuss Geisel. Apparently, he really lives is Whoville under the names of Cares.

I actually hope he stays a secret ...  because this endless discussion of who is Satoshi is one of the best parts of Bitcoin.

Wow. So that was the original announcement of Bitcoin? It's like I'm taking a history tour on this thing. I followed that email down to the registration for the cryptography mailing list. I registered to it. I think cryptography will be something very interesting. Hopefully this list is still active. Now to register for the cypherpunks mailing list.

I agree now actually. I'll adjust my time to studying C++ and cryptography.


EDIT: Unfortunately the last node to the cypherpunks mailing list is down. So is the LNE node. Oh well.

and this is how conspiracies start - half truths being converted to full lies describes as truth!

If you are interested in chasing ghosts, you should spend your time on the cypherpunks newsgroups around 2007

Its likely that you'll find far more hints to ID there than you'll ever do here.

Please, explain how anything above is a half truth or a full lie. I'd like to know. I also happen to be very interested in the identity of Satoshi, as it's remarkable how he posted the worlds best model for a financial system back in 2008, and hasn't been found since.

Cypherpunks is certainly an interesting topic, but is not of interest to me at the moment.

*FacePalm!*

Quite contradictory!

I hope you do. We'll need ethical coders in the future.

Good read for the future. I'll export it into Reader on my iPod (Android when I have access to one) for reading on the road and such.

That is so true. Thank you for sharing your sources. They really do help.

Just spotted that you claim to be 15, so I'll be nice.

What if Satoshi was not just one person, but a collection of people?

What if they shared a profile?

What if the hint to who Satoshi is is not what was said, but what bits of data was shared?

If you really want to know who the ghost is, and personally, I think its a waste of time, the trick is looking at all the connections for the whole group.

Have fun

Bah that isn't necessary at all.

I am aware of discussion about the possibility that Satoshi was actually a group of people.

What if they shared a profile?

Definitely possible

What if the hint to who Satoshi is is not what was said, but what bits of data was shared?

That is also true.

I've actually decided to change my mind and not go after him. I've found some threads of GROUPS of people attempting to and they haven't come to a solution. I simply couldn't do it alone.

Have fun

Satoshi is a Hungarian or Polish group/person living in the UK.

I AM SURE!

I am still doing hard research on this!  I'll need another year to complete it.

How do you find someone who has spent a lifetime covering his tracks?

For some, he was a guardian angel. For others, a ghost, who never quite fit in.

What's the S stand for?

Britain is in GMT/UTC time zone which is the default time zone in this forum IIRC. Maybe they just didn't change their profile

Hey! I designed a forum for you, here's your login.

Lol
Really

Exactly.  

I'll look into cypherpunks if I really cannot do anything else with looking into Satoshi

Britain is in GMT/UTC time zone which is the default time zone in this forum IIRC. Maybe they just didn't change their profile

I was not aware of this. I would think it would be standard human behavior to customize voids that we would know how. I'm positive Satoshi knew SOMETHING about his timezone. I changed mine, so either he does live in Britain, or didn't change it at all.

Most of the members here never changed the default time zone. I never did and never will. Why? And a guy like Satoshi, who always connected through Tor and looked for complete anonymity using a pseudonym, would never give up personal details like his true time zone.

Seriously, did you even think before typing?

So I was briefly messing around with the Bitcointalk forums, and was looking at my profile. Jaywaka2713: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=85173

I noticed there was a user number in the URL. So I changed it to 1 and found the admin account. Wasnt a big surprise. What was a surprise is that it only has 7 posts, and was only active for 4 days. It's local time is interesting though. I also couldn't pull up any of his posts.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1

I tried using the user number "2" but no user came up. Probably because of some catalog system in HTML or SMF that I do not understand, or because the account was removed.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2

However, when I used user number "3", Satoshi's account came up. His posts came up.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

That was interesting to me. I looked at his Local Time, and noticed it's 5 hours ahead of mine. Im in Illinois, meaning I live in the CST time zone. 5 hours ahead would be in Britain. I went back to the Admin account with user number "1", and guess what? Same time zone. Satoshi must have made both accounts, as they were made within 2 days of each other. Admin must have been a testing account, but with 7 posts? All of which couldn't be found?

I kept raising the user number by 1, finding 22 other accounts, and only 7 of which were active this year. The rest of them had relatively low post counts. Too lazy to pull up their bitcoin addresses. I stopped once I got to user number "35", which was theymos. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35

I was wondering why theymos was the 25th (maybe 35, but there were plenty of blank numbers. Guessing that they are false) user on the forum, but is also the Admin. The third user with user number "4" sirius, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=4 is Staff. Shouldn't he be Admin?

I checked theymos's time zone, and he also lives in the CST timezone alongside me, so he doesn't live in Britain.

I don't know if it was confirmed or not, or even known if Satoshi potentially lived in Britain. I heard that there was British dialect in the comments of Bitcoin code and in his White Paper. Also the Genesis Block message.

I also find it interesting that Theymos was the 25th member on the forum, yet is Admin, while sirius was the third member on the forum, is still active, and only has a staff position. I'd like to dig deeper into how exactly Theymos became the bitcointalk Admin.

Your sleuth work could have been done much easier by just looking at the forum roster:

...oops, that's my post... NO ONE IS GOING TO BELIEVE IT NOW!

[threeip]

Look at how $x you are

[Stunna]

maybe Satoshi disappears for some reason. maybe he doesnt want the world knows his true ID.
And here you are, trying to dig him up

If I was satoshi I wouldn't want anyone to know my real life identity either. I'm sure this would go for a large # of users of this forum. While the digging is pretty fun, I sincerely hope that nobody actually discovers who satoshi really is. Giving bitcoin a face just makes it 10X easier to shut it down and then BTC is held accountable to all actions/words of the creator if public.
