**Breaking news** Satoshi Nakamotos identity revealed

[schizoid]

After eating his lunch and sitting down with the reporter and a copy of the story Nakamoto said that one key piece of evidence from the story, in which he is confronted about his involvement with Bitcoin and responds, “I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it”, was incorrect, as he was only referring to his work in engineering

Leah stands by her story...while calling her only source for that story a liar.

[courtney]

It was so obvious it was fake. Anonymous person using real name, some random old dude who had recently stroke. Newsweek that everyone forget still exists.

Maybe next time people will be smarter.

Not likely.

No no... Satoshi is in the back of the image with grey hair and a plaid shirt, seemingly hanging up a 'now accepting bitcoin' sign on his model train store.

have you guys seen that short video clip rolling around with Dorian speaking to a reporter and denying that he is/was involved with bitcoin?   Tough to make a determination, but in the video, he definitely looks like he is lying...(IMO)

Satoshi is the guy who took the picture.

The real Satoshi chimes in http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profile/SatoshiNakamoto

That's incredible, good to see you again Satoshi!

What's even more incredible is that daily, people were chiming in, wishing that Satoshi would come back here and straighten up the current mess. The rebranded NewsBloid comes out with its first issue informing the world where to find him. Then, and here's were it gets really crazy, the Real Satoshi shows up to only say that the other Satoshi is an imposter.

At some point, we were all sucked into the Star Trek episode, Mirror, Mirror, living aboard the ISS Enterprise, hence having not one, but two Satoshi Nakamotos among us.

I'm not done yet. There's this guy named Tribbles on some Star Trek forum, also Powered by SMF--like this one--who just so happened to post a pic gleaned from the imposter Satoshi's PhotoBucket of train #2427, the last year Captain Sisko was in Roswell, NM, on the exact same date (maybe within minutes of one another, depending on local times) that the Real Satoshi mined the Genesis Block.

1st broadcast crew scene at the Bitcoin founder's house, now it's a press sidewalk party pic.twitter.com/zYeeuVWYYg

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you the latest on Mt Gox. Via skype, we have Tibane, Mark Karpeles' cat.


This just in! Satoshi Nakamoto has been found. His real name is Satoshi Nakamoto. Reporting live, from the home of Satoshi Nakamoto we have...


Not the pedophile clip by the same reporter, the other one!


That's it! There's a press sidewalk party going on in front of Satoshi Nakamoto's house.

I imagined this could be a real episode of South Park too haha

With Heal Goodmen breaking the story of the creator of Darian Coin living in South Park.

To be honest, I love this guy. To me, he doesn't look like he's off his rocker.

If anybody decides to create a Darian Coin, please send this guy $50K USD one way or another to help with any hardships he's had or since has encountered.

“I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it”

I find the second half of the sentence to be extremely odd.

He either misspoke or the reporter heard him incorrectly.

It sounds like a perfectly rational answer IF she was asking about his government work. No longer involved in it (retired) and can't discuss it (signed nda type agreements).

Can I just bump and pat myself on the back?

Also:

It all depends on how she phrased it/asked him. You know she wanted this story - badly.

The 4,500 word article was positioned as a flagship story to welcome the magazine back to newsstands after it ceased printing in 2012.

She wanted this story REAL bad to make a name for herself. Too bad.

Wasn't being a chick from Jersey penning about the pedophiles on the Island of Jersey not a big enough story for her? Surely, Princess Leah doesn't think that with her latest story that Max Kaiser is going to have her back on his show, does she?

I stand corrected in 5...4...3...

How many people in the world are there named Satoshi Nakamoto?

How many of the people named Satoshi Nakamoto have a background which perfectly fits being the creator of Bitcoin?

How many of the people named Satoshi Nakamoto have a family that believes they could have created Bitcoin?



He probably used his real name because Bitcoin started off as more of an academic exercise than anything.  He felt anonymous because he was posting on an obscure online forum like Ross Ulbricht did.

There is no way he was thinking Bitcoin would go beyond an academic exercise into a global phenomenon that turned him into a global celebrity.


As for the age thing, how many 40+ year olds do you know that jokingly say they're 38 or 39?


The ridiculous denial of people on bitcointalk, trying to protect their creator or whatever, is pretty hilarious.

The guy is 64 years old and lives in the wrong time-zone.      Satoshi Nakamoto like lives in NYC ( read:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto ).    He is likely British and reads the UK Times ( Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks ).   He probably is likely involved as a software developer in the financial industry.  Probably built Bitcoin when he got laid off during the financial crisis in 2008.

I'm proud to claim that it's not him when everyone was screaming "OMG OM Satoshi", so let me try to answer those two questions:

What makes you think he has "a background which perfectly fits being the creator of Bitcoin"? The fact he worked few jobs for the government? Last job for FAA? It's far from perfect fit IMHO, the guy is obviously leaning towards practical things, he has a physics degree, makes model trains, etc. Any math university professor would be a much better fit IMHO.

What his family thinks about his abilities is far from relevant. They depend on his description on his abilities, and how objective he is we saw when he raplied to that AP reporter that "any programmer can do it" (make bitcoin software). If he describes himself to his family in that fashion, they may believe he can make a rocket to the moon.

Once again - it's not him, nothing fits from the very beginning, and only the fact that we are all trained to believe mass media explains why so many people believed in this story in the first place.

[itod]

There are multiple evidence, including the statements from Satoshi himself on the mailing list where he initially published the software, that he has worked on the implementation for year and a half, starting in summer 2007.

Given the white paper, many programmers could have implemented the ideas in it.  Very few, I would warrant, had the ability both to write the white paper and its first software implementation, even given the prior work on similar subjects by people like David Chaum.

[ebliever]

A fair number of other people in CA must know this Satoshi Nakamoto. Assuming they can talk about it without violating any NDA's, it would be interesting if some of them were interviewed to determine the kind of skill set that this Satoshi had, and whether they think he could have pulled off the creation of Bitcoin. And whether they suspected it was him all along?

Doesn't mean that he could have been working on it part-time and completed it when he didn't have a job.

I went back and read the newsweek article.

Is Dorain S. Satoshi faking his accent and his language skills?  He was born in America... he should not have remotely a Japanese accent!

You also don't work on classified communication protocol projects if you don't have above average intelligence.

The Bitcoin project also appears to be unnecessarily particular in how it encodes data on the wire.   Something someone with low-level protocol experience would design.

So I am now leaning towards the idea that Newsweek indeed has found the man!
