What if.... Satoshi Nakamoto

[jayeeyee]

What if... the reason why we don't hear from Satoshi Nakamoto anymore... is because he's dead? And he never got the chance to reveal himself. O_O

I suddenly feel very saddened.

This is quite a possible proposal.

Since the beginning.

Doesn't matter who he is anyway. He doesn't control Bitcoin, and can't change it if he even wanted too. There is nothing to gain from "Satoshi coming back". It would only create a bunch of ass kissing and suck-ups. I'm glad he's "gone".

Actually this is plausable. When You check his last post on the forum, it is rather odd:

There's more work to do on DoS, but I'm doing a quick build of what I have so far in case it's needed, before venturing into more complex ideas.  The build for this is version 0.3.19.

- Added some DoS controls
As Gavin and I have said clearly before, the software is not at all resistant to DoS attack.  This is one improvement, but there are still more ways to attack than I can count.  

I'm leaving the -limitfreerelay part as a switch for now and it's there if you need it.

- Removed "safe mode" alerts
"safe mode" alerts was a temporary measure after the 0.3.9 overflow bug.  We can say all we want that users can just run with "-disablesafemode", but it's better just not to have it for the sake of appearances.  It was never intended as a long term feature.  Safe mode can still be triggered by seeing a longer (greater total PoW) invalid block chain.

He logged in one day after this post on 13 december 2010, then disappeared...

No, he is still living. But maybe Satoshi Nakamoto never really existed.
