**Breaking news** Satoshi Nakamotos identity revealed

[The Avenger]

Consider this:  Satoshi never left the bitcoin forum and has been making posts under different aliases; sitting outside of the circle that he created.  I wonder which one of the current forum members is really Satoshi's pseudonym...

"I am not The Avenger"

 

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Great, Satoshi is an asshole that codes on Bitcoin and you all now know who it is. Luke Dashjr is an asshole that codes on Bitcoin and you've known who he is for years. Who gives a shit. This changes all of your lives how exactly? If I see one more "who's Satoshi" thread I'm gonna puke.

I met Luke in Atlanta. He seems shy and was keeping to himself when I approached him and starting talking to him, wanting him to open up and join conversations oppose to just setting with a box of parts (think it was some sort of miner) on his lap.

I'm very well aware of what you're speaking of, but I'm referencing this reclusive personality. In a way, I like him in good and bad way at the same time, just like I feel about Josh, but for different reason, i.e. I may not trust his business dealings, but would love to be his fishing bud. OTOH, I would have not much use for Mark Karpeles in any capacity.

holy fooooooooooooooooooook! The real Satoshi returns

Looks legit to me.

I think the age in the blog is Satoshi's real age.  38 sounds correct with the C++ language style he uses.

Now of course, Google (who owns ning) now knows where that post came from.

Would have been better is he signed it with his PGP key (or the private key for the coinbase reward in the genesis block ).

You mean the key for the alert system.   He gave that info to Gavin,  so there's no evidence that its him if he did.

Not the alert key, also IIRC the alert key has been changed.

The genesis block has a coinbase tx.  
https://blockchain.info/block/000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f

Satoshi's very first wallet would have the private key for address 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa.

A message signed with this private key would be the strongest proof possible.   It is the only block which is absolutely known to be mined by satoshi.

Anyone who wants to claim to being Satoshi the creator of Bitcoin can prove it by decrypting this message:

You spelled Tuesday incorrectly. It's not Tusday. Odd, that you opted to us colour oppose to color. Otherwise, pretty funny. Well played!

This is the first time I have ever seen Bitcoin mentioned on drudge.

BITCOIN 'FOUNDER' FLEES REPORTERS IN CAR CHASE

Pointing to a reuters story.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

The doxer from Newsweek, Leah McGrath Goodman https://twitter.com/truth_eater

At least she's handling her Twitter account with grace as people chime in.

I don't think she realizes she's poking at a hornets' nest. The bitcoin community is not some pushover and there are people in this community who will make her life difficult is antagonized the wrong way, and messing with the (potential) founder like this is certainly one of them.

Damn straight! Quick, somebody shop a red nose on her pic.



The first one that does it and PMs me wins $10 USD via BTC. That'll teach her not be messin' with us.

Wasn't the first implementation of BitcoinQt written in PHP?

No.  The first version of bitcoin was didn't use QT it was command line only however it was C++.  QT is a C++ library there has never been any version of the "bitcoin client" (later named bitcoin-qt) written in php.

Hopefully that is the only thing he posts for four more years.  Would just drive the media crazy.

That would be great! That would be what the media deserve!!!

There was a WX front-end when I first got to compiling things IIRC (though I've never compiled a gui at all in any version.)  Written by that guy who later (claimed to have) had like 9000 BTC stolen from his machine.  cdecker?

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Please don't tell me people on this forum actually believe this? I know reporters are dumb, so she probably believes it herself. But people on this forum should know better.

Are you talking about people who order ASIC-based bitcoin miners based on renderings alone?

“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's the part of the article which is real suspect.

If this guy is so secretive and has gone to great lengths to keep it private.
Why would the first thing he says basically be, 'yes I'm him and i invented it,
but I don't want to talk about it'.

This guy didn't tell his family, so why would he instantly admit it to a journalist.
But surely a journalist wouldn't lie would they?

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.

Well, that's the 1Million BTC question...
