The release of Satoshi's personal data

[CPTHREE]

What I don’t quite understand is, does Satoshi Nakamoto really matter so much? People who are curious about Satoshi Nakamoto may be more concerned about the bitcoins in Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet. For a decentralized system, the great Satoshi Nakamoto has achieved decentralization from himself. Maybe Satoshi Nakamoto is a person who travels from the future or an alien, hhhhh.

What if a user wants to come back? Whether this is Satoshi or someone else. I hate when email providers deactivate your account and don't allow you to reactivate it and delete all your data. That's silly to me when it literally takes up kbs in their database. I've lost some important information before because of this.

I'm still disappointed with Yahoo about my deleted geocities websites...

I miss those under construction signs and the fire gifs.

I used to be really interested in finding out who Satoshi was as a person (not really doxing) and if he was still around and if he would come back..

Not so much anymore..

I think if Satoshi never requested any of his PMs to become public ever after a certain amount of time, or god forbid his IP history, then wipe them all..

Wipe em like the dust cloth Hillary used on her servers..
(They acted like those free programs were such expensive high tech)..

Rewrite those drives 50 times over with the spammers threads you can find on this forum.. Destroy it..

Unless you, theymos, think it is really historically significant, then just wipe it..

If not, monetize it..
When you feel it is enough time to release it, sell it to the highest bidder on a 1 year, 2 year, 5 year contract, that you will give it to them NOW, but hold off making it public for a set amount of time, to continue ensuring the continuance of his forum..

Whoever wants it so bad may be out for no good, but make them pay big to put towards good..

I think someone would pay $1mm+ to have access to this information a few years in advance of its public release, and if it is inconsequential anyway, take their money..

Long live Bitcoin and internet freedom!
Whatever suits these goals best..

I've rethought this, and I won't be releasing the PMs in 2021. <>
I am concerned about the privacy of those who communicated with him. For example, kiba once said <>

Would you consider releasing satoshi's PMs with the sender/recipient anonymized? For example, if kiba exchanged PMs with satoshi, you could change "kiba" to a random handle. It would not necessarily need to be a random string in order to allow for readability. You could also redact things such as names, addresses, bitcoin addresses, email addresses and similar. When discussing amounts of coin an individual has, you could redact the specific amounts. You could also only release PMs that were received by satoshi up to x time after he last logged into his account, as I am sure that a lot of crazy things have been sent to satoshi since he left the forum.

If it's PM between 2 regular/unknown users which released for historical purpose, it's good enough. But since it's PM between Satoshi and other user who could be targeted, there are few ways to identify the other user, such as
1. Date/Time of the PM.
2. Writing style.
3. Typo which rarely occurred (such as "covfefe").

I don't think any of those would necessarily identify a user. At least not with any amount of certainty. Also, the reason why someone might be targeted is not that they were talking with satoshi, it would be because someone might be able to infer how much coin they have, and the redactions I proposed should remove that risk.

I think if Satoshi never requested any of his PMs to become public ever after a certain amount of time, or god forbid his IP history, then wipe them all..

IIRC, theymos has said in the past that satoshi always used tor to access the forum. So any IP logs would be from what was at the time tor exit nodes.

This thread should probably be locked. Theymos isn't going to do that. Private messages are and should remain private. That goes without saying. If satoshi or anyone else wanted his private correspondences to be read by everyone, he would have posted them out in the open. He didn't. Doing things like that would set the forum back.

I would like to know who satoshi is as well, but because I am curious. Not because I want to mess with him, doxx him or interfere with his life choice.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I can understand clueless noobs necro bumping this thread but there is a bunch of presumably literate users here suddenly feeling they have something to say on a 3-year-old topic... are you all on fucking drugs or what's going on here.

Most likely signature campaign participants getting their weekly/monthly posts in. I don’t know why anybody would want Satoshi to be somewhat doxed. It wouldn’t do any good for anybody.

[libert19]

Tor is pretty much expected, don't expect anything less from a man (I guess) who created BTC, don't think ip addresses would be helpful. But I'm curious about PMs. Theymos should reveal it before this information is gone with him.

[KingsDen]

I used to think Satoshi invented this forum, that he invented the forum to help discuss the promotion of the token and community. If he did, who got the forum administration employed ? and if he was not the one, then there was a link to him along the line of transferring the forum's leadership. He is not actually anonymous, am sure some people or organisation or government are hiding him

I think theymos probably knows satoshi's identity. Although it's quite easy to remain anonymous on the internet so it might not be true.

Satoshi originally published bitcoincore on sourceforge and there was a forum there but the forum was moved here (for obvious reasons). Theymos took over control of the forum after satoshi gave him ownership privileges. I think sirius was also quite heavily involved in the forum at the start (not sure where badbear came into the equation though - the old admin here).

Also, anyone know where the forum was before it got moved to amazon aws?

I have not had so much personal interest about Satoshi. I am also very new in the forum to know how things had been before now and how they are now.
But I am personally convinced that Satoshi has not moved on, he is actively involved in Bitcoin things and also still present in the forum.
Someone can be 100% anonymous in the internet and not in real life.

I use myself for instance;
I am few months old in the forum and I am just a mere Full member. But even if I want to quit bitcointalk today, I will never hand my account over to an unknown person. I'll rather give a friend who is knowledgeable in the forum, to be sure that my account won't turn spam or red tagged before I could return.
Compare it to a whole forum. Satoshi should know Theymos identity to an extent, vice versa before the hand over.

hahahaha... Take this shit away man, you are only getting yourself more humiliated and believing that this man is Satoshi leads to no good.
More than 100 addresses from his "tulip trust" signed that he is not satoshi what else you need?
Just quit with the Off Topic.

This guy is way more "satoshi" than CSW
