Watched that video earlier today as someone posted it in another thread, but I did lol at the guy claiming to be Satoshi  .

Anyone claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto can prove it simply by signing something with his/her private key. Anything less than that is inadequate.

Of Course.  It would be amazing to see a "I certify that I (Name) am the original creator of Bitcoin" by the origin's block key.

My impression is that there are a lot of unlikely claims in his argument and he lacks important knowledge of Bitcoin.

I'm one of the panelists, and also was present later when people asked the guy questions post-panel. He was interviewed by journalists too, and there has been nothing published about this so far, they probably don't believe him either. He doesn't claim to be Nakamoto, rather that he had the idea of an anti-bankster cryptocurrency, wrote the requirements and hired Nakamoto to code it. I forgot his name, but he claims to be a German living in Munich. Allegedly, Satoshi Nakamoto is the real name of the developer, and he paid him to a bank account in the US for the development. He had bitcoins worth "100 million", but lost them when his laptop and external hard drives was stolen. He was unaware of the utility of the proof of work concept (rather he claimed it was supposed to be a marketing gimmick) and the 51% attack (i.e. no idea about the byzantine general's problem that Nakamoto solved). Satoshi allegedly promised to remain hidden until this German reveals himself, and is supposed to reveal himself now too.

I don't think so.

Yeah, I don't think so either. I'm always sceptical when these people appear in the media now and again claiming to have lost millions in Bitcoins cos their dog ate their harddrive or whatever. Just seems like attention seeking fantasists to me.

I want to take every "find satoshi" try-hard and lock them into a room. Then sink that room into a deep ocean trench. Do they not get why he/she/they are anonymous? Are they absolutely insane? Stop trying to "find" anything, you idiots. It seems critical thinking isn't part of their toolset.

If you meet Satoshi, kill him.

[lonelyminer (Peter Šurda)]

If you meet Satoshi, kill him.

If you kill Satoshi, you become Satoshi.
