Satoshi is Back, suggests Fortune

Bloomberg Fortune, today (or yesterday, depending on where you live):

"Unknown Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto Might Be Writing a Book

Is the unknown creator of Bitcoin writing a book about it?

That could be concluded from a cryptic message posted Friday at a website possibly linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym used by the person or people who released the original Bitcoin white paper in 2008."

Bitcoin 2 coming ??     21,000,000 bitcoins is less for world economy which is $50,000,000,000,000/year

[CoinstarF]

Bitcoin 2 coming ??   

Many idea and writing that bitcoin is dead fall down, now expected that the coming second birth of bitcoin is going to happen a few months to wait therefore we must prepare and take care of it cultivate until it grows same as his or her siblings before we must do also our participations to be better good.

[Fathurrahman27]

I am also curious about the website they are referring to, but they didn't say it where. Will if Satoshi Nakamoto back will bring the impact of rising Bitcoin?

[krishnapramod]

Lol, if I remember right Bloomberg had reported someone to be Satoshi in October or November last year, promoting another altcoin, another gimmick with the book.

If someone wants to read here's, the PDF file, http://nakamotofamilyfoundation.org/duality.pdf

Timechain = Blockchain

Branch point = Fork

Moore's law didn't work out.

That night, v0.1.3 on Hals computer crashed, yet again. It seemed like I would be settled to having to fix errors non-stop. I sent him the debug build for it and we both came to the conclusion that the disk full that was the culprit. I had always disliked projects that consisted of big dependencies but there was just no avoiding it as each one is essential.

Hal was the first person to build on the proof of work concept, and the first to come up with a reusable proof of work. This was essential in prototyping bitcoin, for his work on RPOW as e-money is what inspired me to use the POW in the first place. Much to the chagrin of people today, I still believe in the virtues of a Proof of Work system (I will explain why in the books).

Couple of first paragraphs dedicated to Mike Hearn, bottom to Hal Finney. Center with, although sounds genuine, I will explain in the books.

[retampan]

Email him and get his PGP key verified, I'd think its enough to prove if he was real Satoshi Nakamoto.

[franky1]

OP is linking a blog site (blog section of fortune.com) where someone created the handle bloomberg
the article wrote by that someone actually says that the real bloomberg cannot confirm or deny the article

the OP's footnote.. is a link that goes to youtube to play the video... by rick astley... AKA as a rickroll video  (basically the punchline meaning you just been trolled)

all in all.. i see it as a troll topic

[Pursuer]

if Satoshi wanted to write a book and stay anonymous he wouldn't do it in a way to raise any suspicions about his identity. he would stay anonymous easily and publish his book(s) and for all we know we already have books written by him and we don't know it yet.

if Satoshi wanted to write a book and reveal his identity he would simply include a signature in the book revealing his identity in a way that is easy to verify by everyone and is undeniable.

when we see someone who is shady and evasive about it and has no proof, it means have another scammer like Craig Wrigt at our hands.

[glowing10]

Not sure how much to believe it or not. Because a person who almost from a decade did not turn up and had wanted to be back would have being when the price was rocket high last year and now when it has dipped a lot. For me it is nothing more than speculation.

[franky1]

If someone wants to read here's, the PDF file, http://nakamotofamilyfoundation.org/duality.pdf

i read it. and bull crap.
seems like someone who was not around in 2009 just recently looked at the publicly available information and tried to rewrite history by hinting at a few publicly available emails and a few buzzwords to make it seem legit. but in the end does not know the true concept of bitcoin and its consensus mechanism. and actually fails at the real history and code understanding.

thus i call bull crap

[nutildah]

Whoops, that was actually my bad. I changed the subject title to reflect that its Fortune.

the OP's footnote.. is a link that goes to youtube to play the video... by rick astley... AKA as a rickroll video  (basically th punchline meaning you just been trolled)

That part is more meant to appeal to the "get rich quick" crowd, and yes it is meant to be a rickroll. I'm happy its working.

[pxo.011]

even if satoshi nakamoto is back there is no guarantee that the price will be affect we all hope that it will happen we dont even know if its true and if it is then it would be great and the whales will come back to btc and it will pump pretty good.

[bitfocus]

in that case, the book is already the bestseller

[funchiestz]

It could be a funny joke. If there is someone called Satoshi, and even if it is the only one, he will not risk being deciphered by issuing a book. Also, if there is such a person, I am sure that the book was published on the internet. It does not make much sense.

[bitcampaign]

so here's what I wait for if satoshi is really back then bitcoin will get better, whether I'm just dreaming or not but I believe he will come back in the next few years after the number of bitcoins reaches 20 million 

[royalparade01]

Bitcoin 2 coming ??   

If Satoshi is back, does it means bitcoin is on rise again? That's what I supposed to understand it. 😊

[First77]

If Satoshi is back, does it means bitcoin is on rise again? That's what I supposed to understand it. 😊

Satoshi has come to save Bitcoins. Warren Buffet said "bitcoin will end up badly"

[nutildah]

If Satoshi is back, does it means bitcoin is on rise again? That's what I supposed to understand it. 😊

There's honestly no reason for Satoshi to come back. To do what? In about a year's worth of posting on this forum, he set the entire thing in motion and its been doing relatively fine ever since. He created a worldwide revolution -- pretty hard to top that.

Its been hypothesized that if Satoshi ever moved any coins from his original stash, it might create chaos in the markets, maybe taken as a sign that he's lost confidence in bitcoin. So you might not actually want him to come back.

[mk4]

Bitcoin 2 coming ??     21,000,000 bitcoins is less for world economy which is $50,000,000,000,000/year

Bitcoin 2? Are you stupid? You think bitcoin is some sort of movie/book that has sequels?

[Kakmakr]

Why would Satoshi go through all the trouble to hide his identity for years and now release a book that can be traced back to him. A book will have a publisher and the publisher have to pay Satoshi and that will leave a paper trail back to Satoshi. It is not as if Satoshi need the money and even if Satoshi just do this to donate the money to charity, then this will still be traced back to him/her. 

A much better approach would just be to write a email or add a entry on a Blog, with proof of a signed messaged to his/her coins.

Indeed. A persons circumstances can change greatly. However, I don't see anything (yet) that we didn't really already know or that isn't ad-lib.

As someone who was here early on (when Satoshi was on this forum) I do occasionally receive requests for historical information ...

Example:

« Sent to: BitcoinFX on: August 15, 2017, 08:44:15 PM »

"Hello,

I am developing a website dedicated to the history of bitcoin.  I noticed you are an early user of bitcoin, and was wondering if you had any e-mail conversations with Satoshi or other early developers that you would be willing to share?  If requested, I will remove any of your personal information before making anything public.

I am also interested in any IRC bitcoin or bitcoin-dev logs (pre-2011).

Thank you for your time!"

...

Satoshi - If you recall, can you tell me what you told me you wanted to build for Bitcoin, before I also left this forum?   

P.S. Do send me a PM for my protonmail account and yes I ofc have a 2nd 'authenticator' question ready, if you know the first answer.

[kangen riko]

This is ridiculous, Satoshi has long since disappeared and made himself anonymous. He covers his identity so bitcoin is not a contention for the government and I think there is no reason for him to claim bitcoin back, let alone for popularity.

[nikonova]

it cant be true lol he was hiding for a decade now why would he expose himself after 10 years

I am no sure if I should believe this or not. Satoshi is undoubtedly the king of Crypto and has introduced it but he has been out of this business since a few years. Let’s see if something actually happens. Till then, keep investing in undervalued coins that can give you great returns like PRG, ICX etc.

The question is will Satoshi actually do that? He can but it might be a rumour too. And why are you just focusing on bitcoin? There are altcoins working great and coming up with new exchanges. Look at Lisk, ADA and TAU.

[mazdafunsun]

Yea.. this seems odd, i dont think he would not want to do such thing and risk his identity to be discovered  for just a book.
If he wanted e would most likely to do in other anonymous way.

Sometimes it is very interesting to think of time when we he was active in this forum and interacted with some people on this forum who are still active.

[dumiya]

I don't think Satoshi wrote this. If he wanted to do so he could do it earlier.
Probaly someone wants to show that he is Satoshi and promote another altcoin as he can get free marketing by pretending as Satoshi. I will not trust any book which is claimed author as Satoshi until I see a signed message from the bitcoin genesis address with it.

[edjames]

It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this, and if it does transpire and a (genuine) book is published, I think it will be a great time for crypto and BTC especially

[galinskiydmitriy]

I think this news people want to confuse and artificially create an agiotage around this crypto currency. There is no evidence that it really was Satoshi not provided.

[yianni]

If he was really back the easiest thing for him would be to post on this very forum that he created and announce his book.
Went through the entire website and read everything there. I have to admit, whoever wrote it did an extensive research even though almost everything is publicly available.
He hint that he might give proof of the genesis block from the initial version of bitcoin. Not proof of the original genesis block from the bitcoin blockchain but it is proof that it is him, if there is a way to verify that to begin with.
Personally I'm very skeptic about it, but it would be nice to have the original dev back sorting out all the issues with miners/devs, blocksize, Gavin, BCH etc etc.

[SUDARMONO]

Satoshi nakamoto is a pseudonym used by the creator or creator of bitcoin, and indeed no one has been able to figure out who actually satoshi nakamoto himself, and he rarely appears and appears only occasionally in writing.

[gesdan]

so Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of a person? for this time i heard about Satoshi Nakamoto there are many rumors about it, some people said that Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of 5 company in Japan, from this news i believe that Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of person

[drwhobox]

It’s possibles that Bitcoin can still be revived by Satoshi itself! Sooner or later there will be a new Bitcoin or a sequel of it. Will wait for the Big update!

[nutildah]

today, this was added to that website.

http://nakamotofamilyfoundation.org/Nakamoto_Foundation.txt

i don't know what to think, it looks like a hoax

but at least is not craig because he stated in the first pdf that he was on the east coast

Hey thanks for posting this. You're the first poster to post something useful here, and its what I asked for, so I'm giving you a Merit.

[pooya87]

this seems to me more like an advertisement to hype up the book that is coming. it doesn't seem to be released yet so we don't know what is going to be in it! publicly available information most probably with some imaginary added stuff. either sold to earn money or to push some agenda.
i know i am judging the book by the cover! but so far it has been like this so it is my assumption until proven otherwise.

[tailor.and]

I think his coming back will play an amazing impact to bitcoin. I'm very excited to know what will happen in future about it.

[JerryJam]

The crypto-currency society reacted violently to the news that Satoshi Nakamoto returned and even wrote a book. To me personally it is a little hard to believe. Why the man (if man) hiding his identity for many years now suddenly decided to appear in public. Something's wrong.Probably someone hiding behind a popular name trying to promote their ideas. There is no guarantee that these ideas will be adequate.

[Lamisa asfiya]

If satoshi nakamoto is come back. I think for this reason  the price will be affect. We all hope that it will happen and we do not when it happen. if its true and  it would be great and the whales will come back to btc and it will pump.

[kasurnya]

I do not think Satoshi will have time to write a book, he will still work there to progress bitcoin though without acknowledgment. However I think this is a good idea from the author of the book to get a lot of fans, because it has acknowledged itself as satoshi.

[the_crypto01]

Thank you for the link. It seems that they are is going to be a new birth of BTC. I feel very curious about this. I am waiting to see what’s going to happen.

[hasemase]

Thank you for the link. It seems that they are is going to be a new birth of BTC. I feel very curious about this. I am waiting to see what’s going to happen.

Why do you think there will be a rebirth? The book will tell stories about bitcoin and its creator. Bitcoin will still be Bitcoin.

[billknight]

I am also curious about the website they are referring to, but they didn't say it where. Will if Satoshi Nakamoto back will bring the impact of rising Bitcoin?

I do not think Satoshi will don't come back. Because everyone does not know who Satoshi Nakamoto is. So there are probably some people who claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, and they are Satoshi Nakamoto fake

[currencydesigner123]

Yes, I also have seen the news. I think that something new is coming in the market. And it would be benevolent for the whole crypro industry.

[PhantasmRisk]

There is not legit or authentic source to validate such information. But if that does happen, it will be good for the investors. Given that the market is in a dip and an increase in the level of investments would be a very needed activity to bring the market to an upward slope.

[nikiknowsnothing]

Sounds like a good news. I sometimes think that what if Satoshi is dead and someone is just impersonating him, lol. I love Satoshi Nakamoto because of his/her mysterious nature. I would love to read a book of him.

Is this a false information or an impostor to increase the price of Bitcoin to redeem. I quite doubt about this

Yes, it will bring great impact on bitcoin if it's true that Mr. Satoshi is coming back but let's not bring our hopes up on this article because we don't want to be hyped all over this news and might spread a FUDs.

Now, if Satoshi did come out to be Craig Wright we are all frigging doomed, he hates all BTC types for not believing him to be Satoshi. Could you imagine how much

hell, he could cause with crypto, if he was Satoshi and as he claims have access to a Bitcoin Trust on Jan 1st, 2020, again as he claims? He could trash BTC down

to $500 bucks for the hell of it and laugh it all burned....and still be a Billionaire in USD in BTC!

The article also claims that the writing style is 'completely different' than examples in the past from Satoshi. Unless he has help from

another author or some such...it is unlikely to be true.


However, if true, there would be 'quite' the hunt for Satoshi. For example, if from the USA, I suppose a case could be made on 'taxes'? (unclear on that)

and/or other issues...would be cool if he 'could' (very unlikely) make a book and explain BTC beginnings, without giving his ID away....would drive the

I will neither confirm nor deny if that is the correct answer. The question is intentionally cryptic and one that only the real Satoshi might answer to me forthright.

However, why would Satoshi want to build a Bitcoin Bank - when Bitcoin itself is essentially a fully decentralized banking system.

...

I discovered bitcoin.org (and this forum) through a very random and extensive search for 'currency' and 'digital cash'. In this regard I was not a developer or someone that Satoshi attracted to the project through the cypherpunks mailing list etc., Thus my private / encrypted text conversations with Satoshi were equally random. They have never been shared anywhere and no logs exist at my end.

I could read and write (bad) code at that time, having participated in various TH poker robots, MT4 forex software and by just simply being a Linux user. I knew the software 'worked'. I ran two full Bitcoin nodes from my home in the UK and mined 24/7 - I was excited and enthused with the bitcoin project to begin with and proceeded with extensive TE advertising under my own volition.

- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=45.msg559#msg559
If anyone saw that TE banner on the internet and found Bitcoin, it was probably promoted by myself.  

I recognized that the project might draw a critical mass through widespread adoption and I was of course 'invested' through the mining process. On this basis I calculated the number of users (nodes etc.,) and gave it some time. The level of adoption simply took much longer than I expected - probably due to the unique nature of the project. Unfortunately, I decided to sell my mined coins and to move onto other (supposedly more profitable) projects, at that time. I had some investors who did not fully understand what this project could become and I was pushed in other directions. Some personal circumstances also meant that I no longer had the time to tinker with this hobby / start-up.

I think I will post a screen shot of my old 'transfer' wallet so that people can understand just how invested I was at that time.

I did envisage a problem with circulation being very likely to out-strip supply and demand, thus potentially leaving the price in the doldrums, forever. I was also concerned that the government or relevant authorities would eventually try to shut it down (realize that this task would of been much much easier back then). I also considered issues with regards to scalability and to the finite supply - which I still do, "you cannot trade in diminishing intangibility", this does still become an issue when all bitcoin is mined (note that this effect will only be seen outside of our lifetimes, if at all).

One might consider myself as a segregated witness of bitcoin inception.

EDIT: Unquestionably, for the community, the only real definitive proof of Satoshi is a signed and verifiable message and/or key.

[MattLeBlanc]

First of all, everyone check out the link in the signature of OP, Secondly, why will Satoshi come out of the heaven he is living in with all his bitcoins.? He may have everything he needs already.

[Slavyanskiy]

It would be nice if Satoshi Nakamoto returned. He could have made many positive changes in bitcoin and the community would support to him.

[Al-e_x]

I know that satoshi only wrote a paper with the title "a peer to peer electronic cash system"

and its contents explain how the blockchain system works. and I did not find any other information that satoshi created the perfect guidebook about bitcoin.

I recognized that the project might draw a critical mass through widespread adoption and I was of course 'invested' through the mining process. On this basis I calculated the number of users (nodes etc.,) and gave it some time. The level of adoption simply took much longer than I expected - probably due to the unique nature of the project. Unfortunately, I decided to sell my mined coins and to move onto other (supposedly more profitable) projects, at that time. I had some investors who did not fully understand what this project could become and I was pushed in other directions. Some personal circumstances also meant that I no longer had the time to tinker with this hobby / start-up.

I think I will post a screen shot of my old 'transfer' wallet so that people can understand just how invested I was at that time.

I did envisage a problem with circulation being very likely to out-strip supply and demand, thus potentially leaving the price in the doldrums, forever. I was also concerned that the government or relevant authorities would eventually try to shut it down (realize that this task would of been much much easier back then). I also considered issues with regards to scalability and to the finite supply - which I still do, "you cannot trade in diminishing intangibility", this does still become an issue when all bitcoin is mined (note that this effect will only be seen outside of our lifetimes, if at all).

One might consider myself as a segregated witness of bitcoin inception.

Going through past posts it is obvious to me the forum was full of Agents
With wikileaks and Bruce Wagner basically telling everyone satoshi did it, I am not surprised he ran

CIA/NSA/FBI cronies still in the forums

Attacks still continue, from the early ddos to fake altcoin markets, big block debates


What projects I learnt that were not finished and very important was the BitDNS and fast payments

1) Satoshsi said himself bitcoin will end up being a reserve currency for large payments
2) BitDNS project satohsi worked on with??? was looking at fast payments


However, why would Satoshi want to build a Bitcoin Bank - when Bitcoin itself is essentially a fully decentralized banking system.
I do not need confirmation on any projects and apologies for bringing them up

One reason for a bitcoin bank though. If you could criminalize the Central banking system and its owners - what would you replace it with


What is interesting is a lot of old players want the bitcoin used as intended

[hirngespenst]

But still, I can't believe this news. Fortune is a very good potential website but still, Satoshi Nakamoto writing a book? No way! We have seen many fake persons claimed already as Satoshi Nakamoto, There has a rumor too that Nakamoto dead already. So, overall I don't think this news is real. But if Satoshi Nakamoto still alive then I want to see him active again.

"Unknown Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto Might Be Writing a Book

Is the unknown creator of Bitcoin writing a book about it?

That could be concluded from a cryptic message posted Friday at a website possibly linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym used by the person or people who released the original Bitcoin white paper in 2008."

Likewise here. I am also curious of who is or are behind the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Is it really a pseudonym or his name really. I also do some researching about this.

[bubblebubble]

I think this is a brillant commercial idea and nothing more.
In any case I'm curious about the book and I'd like to read it

That's a thrilling news for the Bitcoin community. Satoshi Nakamoto has discovered Bitcoin and has remained anonymous about it. If this news is really true, it is going to make a significant change in the market.

Why would Satoshi go through all the trouble to hide his identity for years and now release a book that can be traced back to him. A book will have a publisher and the publisher have to pay Satoshi and that will leave a paper trail back to Satoshi. It is not as if Satoshi need the money and even if Satoshi just do this to donate the money to charity, then this will still be traced back to him/her.  
A much better approach would just be to write a email or add a entry on a Blog, with proof of a signed messaged to his/her coins.  

Indeed. A persons circumstances can change greatly. However, I don't see anything (yet) that we didn't really already know or that isn't ad-lib.
As someone who was here early on (when Satoshi was on this forum) I do occasionally receive requests for historical information ...
Example:
« Sent to: BitcoinFX on: August 15, 2017, 08:44:15 PM »
"Hello,
I am developing a website dedicated to the history of bitcoin.  I noticed you are an early user of bitcoin, and was wondering if you had any e-mail conversations with Satoshi or other early developers that you would be willing to share?  If requested, I will remove any of your personal information before making anything public.
I am also interested in any IRC bitcoin or bitcoin-dev logs (pre-2011).
Thank you for your time!"
...

Satoshi - If you recall, can you tell me what you told me you wanted to build for Bitcoin, before I also left this forum?  

P.S. Do send me a PM for my protonmail account and yes I ofc have a 2nd 'authenticator' question ready, if you know the first answer.

Bitcoin Bank  


hacker monks to save bitcoin from itself
Amir Taaki
Now he's back, with radical plans for bitcoin – and the states of Western Europe
seems like nearly everyone forgot what bitcoin was about

I will neither confirm nor deny if that is the correct answer. The question is intentionally cryptic and one that only the real Satoshi might answer to me forthright.

However, why would Satoshi want to build a Bitcoin Bank - when Bitcoin itself is essentially a fully decentralized banking system.

...

I discovered bitcoin.org (and this forum) through a very random and extensive search for 'currency' and 'digital cash'. In this regard I was not a developer or someone that Satoshi attracted to the project through the cypherpunks mailing list etc., Thus my private / encrypted text conversations with Satoshi were equally random. They have never been shared anywhere and no logs exist at my end.

I could read and write (bad) code at that time, having participated in various TH poker robots, MT4 forex software and by just simply being a Linux user. I knew the software 'worked'. I ran two full Bitcoin nodes from my home in the UK and mined 24/7 - I was excited and enthused with the bitcoin project to begin with and proceeded with extensive TE advertising under my own volition.

Central banking system but not to criminalize traditional system and owners but to enforce some sort of automated regulation rules enforced on the bitcoin ecosystem.
I can't think for the life of me how something like that could be implemented but it would be an interesting concept.

Yeah it is nothing more than a commercial publicity in order to sell the book but before that create a hype in the market and people get excited about it and start buying the books. Thus this will help the publisher and writer to earn big money from this advertisement trick.

Many experts have pointed out the writer of that announcement can't be the real satoshi be it's his writing style or the spelling mistakes.
It doesn't even have a signed message from his address which he used to use as a proof for the later posts.

From my perspective i thin Satoshi wants to launch another bitcoin. Because existing bitcoins performance is too good. That’s why he may influence to do this. This new coins name will be bitcoin2.

Why would he need to do something like that and destroy the value of the original bitcoin?
It can't be financial incentive since he already holds close to a million bitcoins.
And this time he won't be mining alone.

last time someone came out and claimed to be Satoshi we found out that he planned on scamming people. i am talking about Craig who is the biggest scammer so far. they always do this, they use the publicity they gain to make money from.

[iotarocket]

I seriously doubt the story of Satoshi Nakamoto resurfacing is legitimate. I think if Satoshi wanted to go public, he would have done so a long time ago. It's obvious he wants to preserve his privacy and we should respect that.

Bitcoin 2 coming ??   

If Satoshi is back, does it means bitcoin is on rise again? That's what I supposed to understand it. 😊

Really? I dont think so. As I think that Bitcoin is leading the crypto currencies till now, but the break point has being come closely. The alt coin more and more developed by such tons of great team.  and I believe Satoshi is one of them.

This coming up meaning that coming down, especially for those come from same origin (Japan).

By the way, this is my thought and I am just a newbie in crypto market.

For some reason I tend to the fact that Satoshi Nakamoto is not going to write a book about bitcoin and its technology. It's fiction.

There is no guaranteeing if it is from satoshi nakamoto or not, seems a shady stuff or just a mere hype to promote the new so-called 'Bitcoin 2' and get people to FOMO into it. Another potential scam building up, and people are gonna fall for it and get rekt as usual.

[MobyCrypt]

if Satoshi wanted to write a book and stay anonymous he wouldn't do it in a way to raise any suspicions about his identity. he would stay anonymous easily and publish his book(s) and for all we know we already have books written by him and we don't know it yet.

if Satoshi wanted to write a book and reveal his identity he would simply include a signature in the book revealing his identity in a way that is easy to verify by everyone and is undeniable.

when we see someone who is shady and evasive about it and has no proof, it means have another scammer like Craig Wrigt at our hands.

Yep. I could even imagine Bloomberg or some other US based Bankers or whatever training an actor to play the role of Satoshi for real - with the help of the mainstream media they could easily brainwash most of the poplutation, and they they could use Satoshi to manipulate cryptos as they please.

Some people says bitcoin is falling some of them says bitcoin is dead, but now there is a new topic that satoshi will back ?

[YarkoL]

today, this was added to that website.

http://nakamotofamilyfoundation.org/Nakamoto_Foundation.txt

Has been removed since, here is the text, retrieved from google

I would like to clear the air on the foundations purpose. And that is the lack of transparency.
So I will be forthright, this website was set up for the purpose of the foundation, which will be
explained later in detail, but I want to stress that it will not be a foundation that receives
any "donations" as is typical of a charitable foundation. I want to make that very clear.
Rather, it is a private foundation, with the funding coming directly from one source, myself.

I also would like to mention that the website was registered anonymously, and through a proxy.
Yes there are other ways to do it with traditional providers. The security to both the email
and domain are tight enough to negate the need or use of PGP. The old key was never actually
used to sign any release of the old software or old emails as coming from me.

I see no obligation in needing it.

I would stress that the cryptographic experts of which I count to be less than ten in the world,
one of you had the advantage of sitting down with me and even brought with you some of my old writings.
You also wrote a story and introduction. I would advise you to keep discretion. But some of your
colleagues seem to be misinformed and perhaps there should be some clarification in private.

You know who you are.

It will be very embarassing to those experts that come from academia to risk their reputation simply
on word.

Although this is a self published effort (in other words, no help whatsoever), I did not want
to betray myself in going any other route. Which is why the paper does not read as professionally
as those store shelf books you have read. The excerpts are completely my own voice, with no editors.
I do not feel the need to put on a show. It is what it is.

This is the basis for why the pdf is in word format and not latex, as this is a story, first and foremost,
and not an academic paper. Although both speak to the same subject matter, both have very different goals.

My only focus at this time is to work on the book which is strictly about my life and has nothing
to do with a small fraction of time that I have since moved on from. That is what the excerpts, which
have been made publicly available are for. Those of who you who enjoyed the excerpt, I am grateful.
Which is why I had considered writing a second excerpt to close that final chapter of my life.

I should state that most of the conversations are already out in the public domain, save for the aspects
that I covered, details of which only I am aware of. This is the basis for which I felt the freedom to talk
about them is because they were already in the public domain, but I cannot stress the fact that there are
countless conversations that have not been made public. I am not in a position to share what are to be
considered private conversations, unless those mentioned choose to make them public.

But I do want to state that I have no objection to any conversation I had being made public. Out of respect I
only discussed that of which is already in the public domain, as I understand that many do not want their
names to be mentioned, for privacy and safety reasons. And that is something I can understand fully,
is the respect for privacy.

I didn't have to do this, I could have just as easily released the book, but I felt the need to explain
the thought process that went behind my writings. And also reveal truths that were unknown.
No one knows the history of what came before better than us. And by us, I do mean us.
Those of us that were involved. Contrary to what is being egregiously written, this was not
a one man effort. I thought I had made that very clear in the excerpt,
but I will state it here officially then.

I wasn't the only one. And the trail marks I left behind in oversight, make that very clear.
As the saying goes, the code will speak for itself. I don't want to put it out there just now. I want to see
who will come forth to challenge that. If any expert wants to challenge that, then I hope you're willing
to put your name and reputation on that too when the book comes out.

The very short beginning to the second excerpt is here: http://nakamotofamilyfoundation.org/predraft.pdf


I am not writing this in response to what is being publicly written, neither positively nor negatively,
but rather as a response to the intentions of the foundation, and to clear the air on the purpose of
the foundation, which will explained later and which will migrate to a shorter domain in the near future.

This is all I will publicly state until the eventual release of the book.

And if you recall, I highlighted the word first. That is because it was not the first. Rather, there was
another genesis. From the first version.
A pregenesis of sorts, if you will.
You can imagine the anxiety in what would be the moment I had been waiting for, to see it working, like
the switch to a lift off, or starting up a Hachiroku, and the roar coming on for the first time.
And there it was.

What followed, was profound relief.
The story of the genesis is one that deserves its own book. But the genesis will end where it begins.
(This is only the beginning to the second excerpt, which has yet to be finished and would be released at
some point in time, if at all. The rest will be omitted until then, if it ever comes.)

The author has a penchant from mystery which reminds me of Craig.

[BitcoinFX]

today, this was added to that website.

http://nakamotofamilyfoundation.org/Nakamoto_Foundation.txt

Has been removed since, here is the text, retrieved from google

I would like to clear the air on the foundations purpose. And that is the lack of transparency.
So I will be forthright, this website was set up for the purpose of the foundation, which will be
explained later in detail, but I want to stress that it will not be a foundation that receives
any "donations" as is typical of a charitable foundation. I want to make that very clear.
Rather, it is a private foundation, with the funding coming directly from one source, myself.

I also would like to mention that the website was registered anonymously, and through a proxy.
Yes there are other ways to do it with traditional providers. The security to both the email
and domain are tight enough to negate the need or use of PGP. The old key was never actually
used to sign any release of the old software or old emails as coming from me.

I see no obligation in needing it.

I would stress that the cryptographic experts of which I count to be less than ten in the world,
one of you had the advantage of sitting down with me and even brought with you some of my old writings.
You also wrote a story and introduction. I would advise you to keep discretion. But some of your
colleagues seem to be misinformed and perhaps there should be some clarification in private.

You know who you are.

It will be very embarassing to those experts that come from academia to risk their reputation simply
on word.

Although this is a self published effort (in other words, no help whatsoever), I did not want
to betray myself in going any other route. Which is why the paper does not read as professionally
as those store shelf books you have read. The excerpts are completely my own voice, with no editors.
I do not feel the need to put on a show. It is what it is.

This is the basis for why the pdf is in word format and not latex, as this is a story, first and foremost,
and not an academic paper. Although both speak to the same subject matter, both have very different goals.

My only focus at this time is to work on the book which is strictly about my life and has nothing
to do with a small fraction of time that I have since moved on from. That is what the excerpts, which
have been made publicly available are for. Those of who you who enjoyed the excerpt, I am grateful.
Which is why I had considered writing a second excerpt to close that final chapter of my life.

I should state that most of the conversations are already out in the public domain, save for the aspects
that I covered, details of which only I am aware of. This is the basis for which I felt the freedom to talk
about them is because they were already in the public domain, but I cannot stress the fact that there are
countless conversations that have not been made public. I am not in a position to share what are to be

Had not seen that myself!

Surely the real Satoshi does not need to assert anything, aside if seeking retribution or justice?

~ I've started so i'll finish???

I wonder if this individual might clafify if more than one person communicated with users here on bitcointalk.org , for example ...

If you couldn't sign a message (for whatever reason) then you could at least move some coins from some 'Satoshi' blocks or just login again, somewhere?

Still ... Not your keys. Not your coins. Here endeth the lesson?

[nutildah]

I'm thinking its definitely not him.

Looking at his older posts, Satoshi was never that wordy, unless he was trying to technically explain something. He didn't have a penchant for drama, and obviously wanted to maintain his anonymity. He also doesn't need any money, or to say anything, because his work speaks for itself.

When reading the excerpt it certainly reads as credible and doesn't point to anything unreasonable. I can understand the doubt people have but something about it feels authentic. Of course it could be one mans elaborate effort to create a book with some ulterior motive. One thing for sure is that if the book attempts to poo-poo BTC and praise BCH we'll know instantly that it's a load of bullshit. But nothing in the excerpt seems to suggest that. If what he's going to set straight is that 'Craig Wright isn't Satoshi' then that would be a big credibility bonus. There could also be many reasons for not signing with his own key. Perhaps as part of his big plan to disappear was also to destroy his keys thereby ensuring that he can never spend the first minted coins or authenticate himself in the future. To ensure that S. Nakamoto dies when his key dies so that not even himself can go back on his grand plan.

For now, it was a great read and certainly seemed to come from the heart. Especially liked the mention of Hal Finney. A true legend in the Bitcoin Universe.

"Unknown Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto Might Be Writing a Book

this satoshi obsession is pretty funny to be honest. So many people can pretend to be satoshi nakamoto, there is only one way to check though, that is him to sign a transaction from his wallet

I feel hesitant about this news. Because someone who has barely appeared in a decade and wants to come back will be when high prices skyrocketed last year and now when it has plummeted a lot. For me it is nothing more than speculation, there is no guarantee that the price will affect us all hope that it will happen we do not even know if it is true and if it then then it will be great and whales will return to Bitcoin and it will pump up enough Bitcoin prices nice.

Indeed. I always found Satoshi to be very direct and to the point, almost with an air of arrogance in this regard sometimes we might assume?

For example, I've heard people say that Satoshi's quote; "If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry." - 2010-07-29 - sounds like CWS i.e. @ProfFaustus on twitter. However, the ego presented by this fellow is enough to put me off considering even using BCH let alone anyone new to Bitcoin, in my honest and humble opinion.

If CWS was a protagonist behind bitcoin (with Dave Kleiman / others) then I think we can assume for certain that Kleiman or someone else did most of the communicating here on bitcointalk? If Kleiman knew he was potentially unwell and/or dying, then we might certainly understand his perspective in regards to making such a comment, if he did.

CWS, according to his twitter feed is working on more papers ... to be published ...

People with ETH envy should just work on ETH. They might then finally understand why these asinine ideas are such shit.




Yep Satoshi is back to kill his own blockchain  

[BitcoinFX]

Back to the topic then ...

The paper contains a couple of references to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ...

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(number)

" ... The number 42 is, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything", calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years. Unfortunately, no one knows what the question is. Thus, to calculate the Ultimate Question, a special computer the size of a small planet was built from organic components and named "Earth". The Ultimate Question "What do you get when you multiply six by nine" was found by Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect in the second book of the series, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. ... "

and

" ... In Japanese culture, the number 42 is considered unlucky because the numerals when pronounced separately—shi ni (four two)—sound like the word "death". ...

oh, and not forgetting the most important bit ...



So, .... some facts and some fiction here perhaps?

Remember : The next time someone asks you to explain how Bitcoin works ... Tell them it works like a chain of 'solved' rubiks cubes (magic cubes), where all the contained transaction data must match up (like the faces of the cube), before any work on the next cube (block) can commence.

He's unknown, how can you know he will write a book?
That's all myth my friend
but whatever, I still want to see what's next

[btchunter786]

Actually BTC created a developer named Satoshi based on this there is a news that he come back again based on this actually I don’t have enough knowledge about this but we should know that he’s real or not because many types of person come and tell they are satoshi so there is a conflict.

[allthebitandbobs]

How can a dead person write a book .He dead bro .

[kimbnol]

Bitcoin 2 coming ??     21,000,000 bitcoins is less for world economy which is $50,000,000,000,000/year

I always though that if bitcoin survived till that limit, they will increase the number. There is no practical limitation.

[matthewio]

His account on this forum has not being accessed for several years.I doubt he will ever reveal his identity because he is someone of great interest.Even his bitcoins has never been moved.

[RodeoX]

Everything Satoshi wanted to say has been said in code.

Thats is a possibilty, that he is dead, if that be the case, there will be more stability on bitcoin since it will means his bitcoins will never be moved

I think that all this epic about the fact that the real Satoshi Nakamoto will write a book is just another of the mechanisms with the help of a whales will continue to control the consciousness of the masses.

[spiker777]

Right now, there's literally no way for anybody to prove they are Satoshi unless they sign a message from an address that was rewarded by the genesis block, or at least a block close to it. That would provide some credibility to it. Somebody out there knows, and has kept their lips sealed on the subject. If they haven't broken yet, it probably never will break out.

[Yantoaja]

whether this is a sign that Satoshi will come back after claiming that he no longer follows the bitcoin world, I am very curious about what will happen. I do not know the details of the story but I am sure this will not be easy to happen, everything about it will remain a mystery.

Correct.

There is nothing simpler than someone proving he is Satoshi.

There is zero reason, gain or advantage in speculation.

[nutildah]

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythopoeia

Self preservation keeps the crowd alive ?

Holy cow, rereading Satoshi's OP of all forum posts, I just discovered that you were the second poster on this forum ever. Mad props to you!

It seems that by this point Satoshi is now more legend than man, taking into consideration that:

 - His total public presence spans less than 3 years
 - Nobody could ever definitively pinpoint who he/she/they were
 - They were probably more than 1 person

Perhaps this was all by design, perhaps Satoshi really did lose access to his private keys.

If the former is true, it stands to reason that whoever created bitcoin already has more money than whatever they could gain from bitcoin, or else is sworn under some kind of blood oath never to reveal themselves or cash out their BTC.

If the latter is true, maybe he's too embarrassed to admit he lost them? How could you move on to "other things" after bitcoin?? I'm genuinely curious as to what they might be. (Guess I should ask Mike Hearn).

The overlapping features of other mythological figures and Satoshi are substantial. He can definitely be made into some kind of libertarian, anti-authority prophet, if people are inclined to do so. Why not? People need something to believe in.

There is nothing simpler than someone proving he is Satoshi.

There is zero reason, gain or advantage in speculation.

True, but its fun anyway. Just like its fun to speculate about the originator of anything anonymously created that had a substantial impact on reality.

[lissandra3612]

Right now, literally, there is no way for anyone to prove they are Satoshi unless they sign a message from an address that is rewarded by the original block, or at least a block near it.

[Juggy777]

This is the classic free traffic getaway and thanks to people like op they have got crazy amount of free traffic coming in😂. The very existence of satoshi's will and I repeat will never be confirmed cause it's literally impossible for him to prove it, the only way he can do is by moving his coins and if he did Bitcoin could plunge down so no I don't think this is true, and let satoshi be a mystery for the sake of Bitcoin we don't really need to know who he is.

[nutildah]

This is the classic free traffic getaway and thanks to people like op they have got crazy amount of free traffic coming in😂.

Yeah all that free traffic's doing me a world of good buddy. Better click on my sig before all the free money is gone.

[goodluck0319]

I don't think he'll be out any time soon. I think this is not necessary and the mystery around bitcoin gives an even greater illusion of anonymity and adds a price

[Andrew S]

In general, I do not understand what kind of difference who it is, most importantly he created bitcoin, why everyone is wondering what kind of person it is.

[CoinClarity]

For anyone who would like a primer on what is already known about Satoshi, we recently put out an article compiling the sources of all (most) of his online writings:

https://coinclarity.com/who-is-satoshi-part-1/

Next week we'll do an article on people who are suspected to be him but probably aren't, and the next week we'll put out an article about people (or persons) who could still possibly be him.

I know this is self-promotion but its entirely relevant to the topic at hand.

That would mean you excluded something from your suspects.

For anyone who would like a primer on what is already known about Satoshi, we recently put out an article compiling the sources of all (most) of his online writings:

https://coinclarity.com/who-is-satoshi-part-1/

Is there anything in there about how Satoshi could be a team?

That would mean you excluded something from your suspects.

Though its something of a spoiler, I was planning on talking about that in article 3/3 of the series. I can think of 3 main team ideas that could have comprised Satoshi thus far. I think this is the most likely of cases, as it appears at the very least that whoever penned the whitepaper was different from whoever did the brunt of the posts on this forum.

Email him and get his PGP key verified, I'd think its enough to prove if he was real Satoshi Nakamoto.

This is one of the biggest scams in bitcoin. i would really doubt its him. only real proof or evidence would help, and even if it was him i doubt he would provide info like that

Great work, outstanding congratulations, recommended must read for anyone.


Follow the threads about Wikileaks, Bruce and the Gavin/CIA, focus on the support around Craig Wright, Roger Ver, Gavin Andreeessseeennn

Then when you see all the projects the above have supported, then broke, fixed, hacked and coins lost
Liberty Reserve, bitinstant, butterfly labs, KNC miner, Mtgox, Cryptsy, Bcash etc etc etc - literal rabbit hole, well they only want death to bitcoin, the blockchain holds all their illegal transactions


Beware the paid shills, spooks and double/triple accounts



Lastly so as to follow Satoshi
cypherpunks mailing list conversations with Julian Assange
Nick Zsabo, @BitcoinFX member here has interesting reads as well
ooohh and the bitcoin blockchain they all wrote on
https://bitcoinstrings.com/all



What account did Assange have on this forum (logical for a hacker who gets in on bitcoin to join), that is the secret

Assange applied for Legal Asylum, 6 months after Satoshi disappeared, effectively both founders of the 2 biggest libertarian movements of 2011 gone


never forget though you are a satoshi

[dekumidoriya]

I think it is really the time to divulge the true face of the creator of the almighty bitcoin. If satoshi reveals himself, that will surely be written in history.

[CoinClarity]

In this article we go over 5 of the primary personalities suspected to be Satoshi by the media.

https://coinclarity.com/who-is-satoshi-part-2/

Personally speaking, and as the conclusion of all the research I did, I would think #1, Nick Szabo would be the most likely, if Satoshi was only one person.

In the next article we'll explore the whole "team" idea and who might have composed the team.

[CoinClarity]

In Part III of our 3 part series on Who is Satoshi Nakamoto, we go over some less-popular and novel theories as to who Satoshi might actually be.

https://coinclarity.com/who-is-satoshi-part-3/

In case you're too lazy to read the article, some of our favorite, less explored candidates are:

- The NSA

- Global Tech Corporation Consortium

- James Harris Simons (multibillionaire quantitative hedge fund founder, ex-NSA employee)

- Adam Back (hashcash inventor, Blockstream CEO)

We give our rationale behind each one, focusing mainly on the latter two possibilities.

If Satoshi Nakamoto really came back, maybe the bitcoin value would be affected if not directly indirectly. The media will have a working day with newspapers related to Satoshi Nakamoto. It is no exception that his return is also a target for gangs, who have long hated Satoshi, which is their target.

I think i idolize this man, cant wait to read more on him when i can get to it, so stoked you covered him

James Harris Simons

[tonysitaly]

I don't believe Satoshi's coming back, which could be another technician's prank, unless Satoshi logs into BTT forums or uses his bitcoin address for a transfer.

[Falmera]

Not sure how much to believe it or not. Because a person who almost from a decade did not turn up and had wanted to be back would have being when the price was rocket high last year and now when it has dipped a lot. For me it is nothing more than speculation.

I think that too. It maybe just a speculation. But whatever it is we must believe that bitcoin is going to soar higher than before. Whether Satoshi Nakamoto is real or not, whoever made this bitcoin is, we are thankful to him/her or them.

[nutildah]

One of his strengths is "making money out of nothing," sounds like a bitcoiner if I ever heard one.

[Dico88]

I think it's hard to believe that it will happen with bitcoin that is only 9 years old. There are so many investors who will invest in bitcoin. It might be someone who pretended to be satoshi with another great fraud that happened. If satoshi returns then this becomes a very rare miracle.

[altercreed]

Satoshi Nakamoto can promote or make a book about it if he really want to because he's the creator of it. But even if satoshi nakamoto will not suggests luck and fortune to people who invest on it, it will still attract other investors to invest because they know that there are many people who's lives are getting better because of bitcoin.

[criptouser]

If there is bitcoin-2, bitcoin-1 can fall very strongly in favor of the second. I think that everyone will start pouring old bitcoins into a new bitcoin. But somehow it was not, I'm glad of such news.

[HeXecutor]

Oh yeah, after many years, the very creator of bitcoin has returned and is ready to open to the world a horrifying truth at the expense of bitcoin and the reasons for its creation ... HD
Seriously, how many will write about similar topics on this forum, are there really people who are interested in this?
Who knows what happened to this Satoshi ... and even more interesting why people are constantly trying to guess what it was

[Drobek]

I see this to be a scammy act. Satoshi won't have to go through all this. We can't tell if Satoshi is alive or not. This person in question will need to provide his PGP key verified. Even with that, I'll believe just a little.

[BitcoinFX]

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythopoeia

Self preservation keeps the crowd alive ?

Holy cow, rereading Satoshi's OP of all forum posts, I just discovered that you were the second poster on this forum ever. Mad props to you!

It seems that by this point Satoshi is now more legend than man, taking into consideration that:

 - His total public presence spans less than 3 years
 - Nobody could ever definitively pinpoint who he/she/they were
 - They were probably more than 1 person

Perhaps this was all by design, perhaps Satoshi really did lose access to his private keys.

If the former is true, it stands to reason that whoever created bitcoin already has more money than whatever they could gain from bitcoin, or else is sworn under some kind of blood oath never to reveal themselves or cash out their BTC.

If the latter is true, maybe he's too embarrassed to admit he lost them? How could you move on to "other things" after bitcoin?? I'm genuinely curious as to what they might be. (Guess I should ask Mike Hearn).

The overlapping features of other mythological figures and Satoshi are substantial. He can definitely be made into some kind of libertarian, anti-authority prophet, if people are inclined to do so. Why not? People need something to believe in.

There is nothing simpler than someone proving he is Satoshi.

There is zero reason, gain or advantage in speculation.

True, but its fun anyway. Just like its fun to speculate about the originator of anything anonymously created that had a substantial impact on reality.

Nope. Not the 2nd, just the first forum member to post in Satoshi's 'welcome to the new bitcoin forum' thread.

In terms of Satoshi as a 'legend' and proceeding mythopoeia, you will further appreciate this type of nom de plume;

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luther_Blissett_(nom_de_plume)

If the Satoshi name is actually taken from the (elsewhere) cited cypherpunk video game / puzzle - then we should perhaps seek to better understand this collective amalgamation / origin of ideas and sentiments.

A Zen saying to keep me 'sane' - "Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the Masters; seek what they sought".

I've heard Craig Wright (for example) state the Bitcoin is/was not Anarchistic. Of course it is, by it's very nature, you cannot set about constructing an alternative monetary system without knowing the disruption it would potentially cause to the current status quo. We can see this demonstrated quite clearly though early Libertarian type support of Bitcoin. Hence, 'anonymity' is/was always a prerequisite.

...

Here is a great example of this established mindset experience of an original cypherpunk, although I think we can safely assert that Satoshi Nakamoto is not Joey Allegra ...

Plot Twist: Craig Wright penned the new "book" and is the owner of nakamotofoundation.

He stepped away from the limelight after the pressures of being Satoshi were too much to bear in 2016, vowing never to return, and true to his word, he hasn't been heard from since!     

[jademaxsuy]

Bitcoin 2 coming ??     21,000,000 bitcoins is less for world economy which is $50,000,000,000,000/year

Well maybe but we could not assume for now that the 21M bitcoins is lesser compared to the world economy because that will depend also on the promotion of bitcoin system like for now that there are some market price crushed due to some reasons like the disapproval of the ETF in the USA government.

in my opinion,Satoshi Nakamoto is just a code name after the creation of bitcoin since he was unknown there are some people and groups claiming the credits for bitcoin existence.

I simply trust Satoshi Nakimoto will utilize any power he needs to improve the world. What's more, not succumb to eagerness, abuse of assets, and be aware of protecting the future for everybody, not simply the rich.

[avoxosuccesful]

truth is he wouldn't wanna be satoshi right now, i mean his work and development is taking the world to another dimension so anybody would wanna put him self as satoshi to take the akolade. but to me i don't the think the story is true its just another prank on bitcoin users

[xbossJ]

I don't think the real satoshi Nakamoto would want to be identified! If he were a man who wanted firm, fortune and accolades he would have made himself known long ago the way I see new coin creators gallivanting around these days. It would be so difficult to unmasked the real satoshi because so far more than 10 persons at one point or the other have claimed to be "Satoshi Nakamoto" as if there is a medal to be won for it! As for the future of bitcoin, it will be here with us as a store of value, people might come up with faster solutions because this is bitcoin's only weakness, but it wouldn't stop peoples trust for it from quadrupling.

If he is back or an institution is Satoshi and if they are back then it is a good sign as things will take a good course of direction from here on and would soon be reaching to new high of levels . So if you are looking to buy now then it is the right time to enter and buy some .

If Satoshi is back, does it means bitcoin is on rise again? That's what I supposed to understand it. 😊

There's a chance but lets not get our hopes up

if the book written by Satoshi Nakamoto is circulating, I will buy. I just want to say thank you very much to satoshi nakamoto for his services. bitcoin exists because of satoshi nakamoto. Thank's!!

[abound]

If Satoshi Nakamoto is back there is no guarantee that the price will be affect we all hope that it will happen

We don't even know if its true and if it is then it would be great and the whales will come back to btc and it will pump pretty good...

Ah, good. Even though I'm the one who started this thread I'm happy they gave up, it was just a hoax.

[gowobonyok]

Satoshi's existence is indeed very mysterious, and if it is true he will release a book that will be marketed throughout the world, it will be closer to knowing who he really is. if indeed he who created bitcoin then he disappeared, he could manipulate the market with his alibi and take profit from this situation.

What do you think?

[Salauusman]

Let us stop being waiting or looking for Satoshi to be back, even if satoshi is back does it means bitcoin is on rise again? That's what I supposed to understand it. 

[severaldetails]

My personal opinion: claiming to be Satoshi and writing a book would be a good way to make a fortune. All you need is time and solid knowledge about bitcoin.
Mining needs a big investment in mining equipment, trading is risky, so why not write a book and use the name Satoshi as advertisement?

I've been around since before this forum, watching the bitcoin development. In my opinion people should stop idolising Satoshi whoever he/she/they might be. He was a good programmer but he was by no mean a God. If it wasn't for the help of the community Satoshi would never have been able to deploy bitcoin.

[RusellTim]

For me, I do not think the story is right, it's just another joke on the bitcoin user. If he was a man who wanted the company, property and prizes, he would make himself known for a long time how I see new coin creators exaggerate around these days. For the future of bitcoin, it will be here with us as a valuable store, people can come up with solutions faster because this is the only bitcoin weakness, but it will not deter trust. People give it four times. Why do we need the same currency? LET MAKE HAPPEN NEEDED. Everything Satoshi said was said in the protocol code.

[FedorIzmailov]

It seems to me that this is a fake stuffing information in order to stir up interest in Bitcoin. even if he did it and who and how could know about it?

[ccryptopark]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised lol. We shouldn't waste time on who is he but rather than on how we can implement his tech

[maxilopez]

it would be great news for all bitcoin enthusiasts since nothing has been heard of it since 2099

[drmilind2004]

[bubblebubble]

It is not a fake. Please read the history and you will know about him and his revolutionary ideas.
I hope these ideas will survive in the future.

[larrylegend33]

I have read the news and i wouldn't believe that. If Satoshi Nakamura publishes a book about bitcoin or cryptocurrency he would become a best seller i am sure but i am also sure that he will not come out. I really don't know why he is hiding.. I think he scares of something or someone and hiding for not to die.

[bradshe1]

I don’t think that an actual bitcoin creator made this statement. It sounds fake, like someone just took a chance to use the famous name and get famous. Satoshi Nakomoto, whoever that might be, made the right decision not to reveal the personality and leave the project. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency so it shouldn’t have a name behind it. Why would Satoshi Nakamoto decide to disclose the identity 10 years later? It’s strange. We should focus on the technology instead of solving the puzzle of who that might be.

Satoshi's email address for that P2P Foundation page / account is assumed compromised in 2014 ...

He (Theymos) suggests in that thread that the GMX address may have expired and been re registered, but there's no evidence to suggest that that's possible. I've had many GMX addresses over the years and don't think it is.

GMX is a total shitshow. In the aftermath of the satoshin@gmx.com hack, it was determined that GMX allowed/allows you to grab most accounts by merely brute-forcing the birthday -- this is the method that was probably used. Once that incident grabbed headlines, GMX disabled the account for a while, but someone was able to hack or register it again later. It's probably passed through several hands since then, nobody able to hold onto it for long because GMX is so full of holes. Never use GMX.

The P2Pfoundation account is already well-known to be hacked: it posted the "Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet" thing a while ago, though that post is now deleted. I kinda suspect that CSW doesn't actually control it, though, and is just trying to play along with "nour" like the idiot conman he is.

I'm currently undecided if the "nour" post has any relevance to anything Bitcoin or Satoshi, although I did find this ...

What intrigues me is how are we going to know who Satoshi really is? he had remained quite anonymous for most of the time, and if we don't really know his identity how we can identify it, it could have been anyone with access to his account, although that's also hard to do.

I'm willing to bet "Satoshi" is going to come down on the side of Bitcoin SV... Just my hunch from what I've gathered so far. I also wonder what the significance was of adding his Brazilian/Japanese friend...

(ps: I don't believe any of this actually has to do with Real Satoshi)

A Satoshi is still anonymous to me, and it has nothing to do with Satoshi's real (Bitcoin SV). I think it's an invention that wants to develop in crypto, there are still many difficult to accept this, Satoshi is still anonymous.

Bitcoin is Financial Cryptography i.e. ... Don't trust. Sign and Verify. Not your keys, not your coins etc.,

Satoshi might also sign various PGP keys / messages in this regard, as further 'proof'.

I'd also like to think that some of the original Bitcoin folks (the ones with remaining integrity) would also be able to say, with a very high degree of certainty, that Satoshi is Satoshi, in this regard.

Indeed. I have no reason to lie about anything. The Bitcoin blockchain (the Genesis block) will provide the truth, always.

Today, I genuinely only hold a couple of BTC (what I can afford). The last 10 years has been problematic for me, I've been to cautious in some respects. Things will change, they always do. My character resolve remains quite strong in this regard.

Anyone here ever talk to Satoshi on TorChat ?

About the developer of bitcoin you can make as many legends. But I think it's all just talk and fake news. I don't think Satoshi will ever reveal his identity. It's not in his best interest.

[Udrujec]

For some reason I doubt very much that this news is true and Satoshi will ever reveal his identity. Hiding this fact is very important for bitcoin and its independence. Therefore, I am of the opinion that the name of the bitcoin developer will remain a secret forever.

[WebTera]

I would love to read this book. But it is unlikely that she will ever appear. I think that the history of creation and the true identity of the creator of bitcoin technology will be hidden for a long time, and maybe never will be revealed.

" You don't use keys to prove identity. Keys only prove access to keys. I find it remarkable how many so called security "experts" fail at this most basic of points.

A cryptographic key cannot prove identity. It only proves knowledge of the key and that is distinct from identity. "

True, but ... https://youtu.be/hl1nPssCL1E and https://youtu.be/lhMV37a7xmY

So, still ... Not your keys. Not your coins. (or just no access yet?!?).

Remember that CSW told everyone that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, then he failed to Sign any message as definitive proof, then he said he was just part of Satoshi, then he told Roger Ver in a more recent (and threatening) email (made public via twitter) that he is Satoshi (again!).

He also posted a tweet in an attempt to explain his own apparent 'God complex', in regards to this, as follows ...

In other words, CSW expects us to believe that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, because he tells us that he is and he expects that no one can prove otherwise...

...

@nutildah - Your response is great! It actually helps to clarify what I'm trying to present ...

'Satoshi Nakamoto', as a group of people or a single individual, have cultural / life experiences which would of influenced their (collective?) work on Bitcoin.

Essentially we can only ever know 7 things ... Who? When? Where? What? Which? Why? and How? ...

Examples ... Why does Bitcoin use an MIT license for the software? Did familiar / cultural experiences influence this choice? ...

1 - We know that Bitcoin (Cryptocurrency) has a history of development long before 2008 ...

- https://web.archive.org/web/20100327210623/http://www.bitcoin.org:80/faq

"What is Bitcoin’s value backed by?

Bitcoin is valued for the things it can be exchanged to, just like all the traditional paper currencies are.

When the first user publicly announces that he will make a pizza for anyone who gives him enough Bitcoins, then he can use Bitcoins as payment to some extent - as much as people want pizza and trust his announcement. A pizza-eating hairdresser who trusts him as a friend might then announce that she starts accepting Bitcoins as payment for fancy haircuts, and the value of the Bitcoin would be higher - now it would be backed by pizzas ''and'' haircuts. When Bitcoins have become accepted widely enough, he could retire from his pizza business and still be able to use his Bitcoin-savings."

Predates Lazlo's request. Fact. Oh, and fancy haircuts to!

I assert the Pizza is akin to Pablo's message, a hidden message in a song ...

Even if the creator of the Bitcoin – Satoshi Nakamoto does return, I don’t think it’s going to affect the rate of the cryptocurrency. While the market is expected to grow and stabilize within the next couple of months, it’s probably not a lot to do with the developer. Moreover, I think this news is fake because why would the maker or makers return after such a long time?

Huh. That's interesting. So for you the theories that he is a consortium of multiple people don't really hold much water? My two favorite theories are that he is:

- a group of people working at/for the NSA
- a group of people working for hedge fund manager James Harris Simons (this one is courtesy of Phinnaeus Gage) -- after all, he's a highly secretive dude known for putting together terrific groups of minds, in order to make shit tons of money.

I'm just interested in the mystery of it all.

@BitcoinFX I'd really like to get your take on this, as the oldest active member of the forum.

I'd never heard of this guy James Bowery before... https://twitter.com/jabowery

He's:

1. an ex computer programmer from Iowa
2. a white nationalist
3. an Alex Jones fan

He received the second transaction sent by Satoshi, after Hal Finney's famous first tx:

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1DUDsfc23Dv9sPMEk5RsrtfzCw5ofi5sVW

As far back as I looked in his social media profiles he's been espousing bitcoin, but a decent theory is that it is actually this Bowery fellow posting on behalf of himself.

For me everything can change if it becomes a true news that Satoshi is back because suddenly everyone will be back in the market and buying will begin in large . This will build confidence in the market as Satoshi would definitely the point who can change the course from here.
