Does anyone know who satoshi is? I know he had communicated with the head bitcoin foundation people. Did he give any indication as to why he's secretive about his identity ?

Why is everybody thinking he is still alive ? He is long gone; back in a random trunk of JP Morgan.  |

Thanks for this. I love this one: Sorry to be a wet blanket. Writing a description for (bitcoin) for general audiences is bloody hard. There’s nothing to relate it to.
So true.... Reminds me very much of Feynman on explaining magnetism by analogy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMFPe-DwULM |

I just spent a couple hours reading through Satoshi's 1,000+ posts and plucked out my four favorites: 1. (I’ve been working on bitcoin’s design) since 2007. At some point I became convinced there was a way to do this without any trust required at all and couldn’t resist to keep thinking about it. 2. Lost coins only make everyone else’s coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone. 3. Sorry to be a wet blanket. Writing a description for (bitcoin) for general audiences is bloody hard. There’s nothing to relate it to. 4. I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be very large (bitcoin) transaction volume or no volume. I've got a couple dozen more here: http://crypt.la/2014/01/06/satoshi-nakamoto-quotes/thank you for that. interesting. it would be nice to read the mails from gavin to satoshi too... |

There are no records of Nakamoto's identity or identities prior to the creation of Bitcoin. Satoshi is a male, Japanese name, whose meaning is variously given as "wise", "clear-thinking", "quick-witted"[8][9] or "intelligent history", i.e. a person with intelligent ancestors.[10] "Nakamoto"(中本) is a Japanese family name.Possible? Yes. Likely? No. |
