A Study about history of Bitcointalk Forum

[Nalbo]

• Satoshi or a group of people created a forum for discussion about bitcoin in November 17, 2009 (most probably).
• Previously, the discussion was held on a forum hosted on sourceforge, http://bitcoin.sourceforge.net/boards/index.php which is unreachable.
• The first account made was a demo account named "admin" on November 17, 2009.
• "admin" made 7 posts which are not visible (though not deleted) because it's hidden from users intentionally???
• The second ever ID is deleted or hidden or never existed??
• Sathoshi, the founder signed up in November 19, 2009.
• The oldest ID that is still active (last seen Jan 6,2018) is of sirius joined on November 20, 2009.

• Satoshi and admin both used Greenwich mean time's location, either he was committed to keep his anonymity or was really from that time zone.

It was recently brought up here, that the first 4 threads were most likely satoshi doing some tests with his and admin accounts. You can read those 7 posts on the following

Topic 3 was deleted years ago, and it is unknown what happened to it. Topics 1 and 2 were satoshi doing some tests, and topic 4 was some administrative notes left by satoshi.

See below for PDFs of the first topics:
topic 1
topic 2
topic 4

I thought that I know Bitcointalk history well, but I didn't knew that it was hosted on Bitcoin.org. I missed this thing. I thought that forum was just moved from sourceforge.net to Bitcointalk.org. But yeah, now I read that Bitcoin forum was hosted on Bitcoin.org/smf and later forum.bitcoin.org. And only in 2011 it was moved to Bitcointalk org.

Is this another study to know the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto?  

Well, in fact I also made study about history of this forum and so on and so forth reading some articles about it yet I got the same result as yours, its pretty good to know the history of this Forum but we can't find the real answer that we wanted to get.

I do not think too many people(crypto enthusiasts)are too concerned about this, at the early stages, they probably were, but as the system has grown immensely with satoshi staying anonymous, then I think it's not much of a problem, except for curiosity sake.

Interesting, didn't know bitcointalk was the backup of forum.bitcoin.org
Btw I was interested in history of bitcointalk forum some years ago, also I am the only one who gave trust to first, admin's account.
Also if anyone knows, why did they only choose .org domain and didn't buy .com .net and other domains? Why Roger owns .com domain? Will be good if someone enlightens me.
Also there was planned first IRC meeting in October 24, 2010 which failed.
The oldest active account seems is this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=12 But don't know if it's sold account or not.
Btw is this Roger Ver's account? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=22

Seems like the owner has changed hands. Compare the recent posts with the older ones. From concrete posts with proper substance to one-liners of vague irrelevancy.

Ver is MemoryDealers.

Looks like rather than have a pioneer account he preferred a legendary.

You forgot to mention that Sirius/Martti Malmi also owns the domain name of Bitcointalk which he pretty much is the owner of the website, theymos even mentioned it himself. Sirius owns the domain but from how I understand it Cøbra and theymos are the ones who are running it now on the background though Cøbra is not active here in the forum anymore he is the one who have the ultimate control over Bitcointalk's domain name and its settings.

Hi folks,

I think there might be some truth to "all roads lead to Bitcoin." 

Hearing about BTC in 2011-12ish, yet not really diving in until this past year, I've been attempting to collate some of the OG posts and wanted to start with what Satoshi had written about it. Where would I find a compilation of his writings on the subject?

Thank you!
