180 thousand BTC was moved today. Satoshi's coinbase address maybe?

Probably built Bitcoin when he got laid off during the financial crisis in 2008.    

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.

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!

Finally someone starts to come around!

Thank you. MTgox. wow

What i don't understand is his quote :

"if you look at the time spent, in 2001, when it was supposed to be developed, i wasn't there. I was working for the gov... etc. "

2001!??!?

So you read the article twice ? ..... yet you concluded he was born in America?

Yup..... you're a dumb ass


To save you the hassle of reading the article the third time , he was born in beddu Japan. He came to America when he was 10.

And for idiots like you, i will explain further .... at that time, American is extremely racist against Japanese Immigrant ( as well as racist in general). He would have had a hard time hanging out with American kids. There is no doubt his Japanese accent is strong due to lack of verbal communication.

Perhaps read it a 4th time then? He's from Beppu not Beddu. Thanks for slaughtering the name of this beautiful town as well as insulting fellow members.

I'm sure everyone would know to how to spell a village from Indonesia as well. I just didnt bother to open the damn article again given how baloney that shit is.

If you're too dumb to see.... getting the name of the town correct isnt the main point of the argument.

Suppose Dorian is the real Satoshi, and wants to direct attention away from himself. What will he do?

He'll post a message from a known Satoshi account, saying "I am not Dorian Nakamoto."

Think about that for a while

[aes1]

Also, according to the interview nobody really knows what Dorian's been doing since 2001. He could have been working for CIA or NSA for all we know. Explains the "I'm no longer involved with it and cannot discuss it" part.

A man who responds to a media pack with "I want free lunch, I'm gonna go with this guy" is indeed a genius.

How come nobody thought of that?!?

[dolphin2014]

I feel sorry for the guy now that his identity has been revealed. He looks like a humble, down to earth guy who just wants to be left alone.

Suppose Dorian is not the real Satoshi. The real one wants to clear his name and posts from his account 'I am not Dorian Nakamoto.'
Think of that with your under the average IQ.
Leave the old man alone, he's in enough trouble as it is.

We should get Dorian a bitcoin address and send him some lunch money.

vanity generate "1freelunch" first

There are some things that still don't make sense

--AP Report--
"I got nothing to do with it," he said, repeatedly.

Several times during the interview with AP, Nakamoto mistakenly referred to the currency as "bitcom," and as a single company, which it is not. He said he's never heard of Gavin Andresen, a leading bitcoin developer who told Newsweek he'd worked closely with the person or entity known as "Satoshi Nakamoto" in developing the system, but that they never met in person or spoke on the phone.

"Peer-to-peer can be anything," he said. "That's just a matter of address. What the hell? It doesn't make sense to me."

Asked if he was technically able to come up with the idea for bitcoin, Nakamoto responded: "Capability? Yes, but any programmer could do that."

----------------

Is it weird that he seems to go from stumbling idiot who doesn't even know what a 'bitcoin' is, and keeps mistakenly calling it bitcom… to someone that feels they would have the understanding enough to even answer the question of "would you be able to technically come up with the idea for bitcoin"

Does his response to that question not imply he knows what bitcoin is and understands how it technically works?    Or am I missing where the AP reporter may have enlightened him to what bitcoin is and how it works… and THEN asked the question on whether he was technically able to come up with the idea?

Any chance the AP reporter recorded the full 2 hour interview?  I would love to hear the entire thing!  

The problem is the interviewer probably didn't understand bitcoin very well.  It would be pretty easy to for someone with a deep understanding of crypto to figure out if Dorian would have actually had the technical skill needed to develop the software. It's definitely not something that *any* programmer would have been able to write.

"Peer-to-peer can be anything," he said. "That's just a matter of address. What the hell? It doesn't make sense to me."

Technically speaking, this is correct. In fact, one of the things that made the Internet different from other networks was that it was every node was a "peer" and could talk to any other node. In fact, some of the oldest protocols that are still used are p2p in the modern sense, like SMTP email, the DNS system and newsgroups.

The modern sense of "p2p" really has nothing to do with network topology, it's really more like "peer to ad-hoc cluster", you're not communicating with another node, rather with every other node, or the system in general. It's really just an artifact of the fact that Napster was the first p2p file sharing program, and you actually got the files from other peers, rather then the central server. It's become a catch-all term. But it's not surprising an older coder would think it sounded somewhat nonsensical.

First of all, people, seriously.  People who aren't Libertarians are familiar with the phrase "free lunch"

Point is, the post on the p2pfoundation.ning.com doesn't really prove or disprove anything. Except that the real Satoshi Nakamoto still exists and is aware of this story.
