Can We Find Satoshi?

[vucuong16101997]

While I was just reading the conversations about Satoshi in another post, a question stuck in my mind

We know that with Genesis Block, Satoshi revealed the first Bitcoins. And from that day on, the blockchain network began to work actively. Satoshi disappeared after a while. (I don't think he'll be back) He left behind a great legacy. But if all the blocks are actually viewable from the past today, somehow, since all the transactions have been followed since the first blocks, couldn't Satoshi be found?

I'm not talking about a simple thing, I know. But if you think that the first mining started with Satoshi and he didn't change a lot of wallets, it seems to me that the wallet can be traced. And either the first blocks after the first Satoshi disappeared could give us some clues.

Wallets known to be Satoshi can also be followed, for example I'm sure they will give you a few hints. (All these conversations, valid only if he is still alive, of course!)

although I really want to know it, I'm sure no one knows this. There are a lot of fake people who do not give them to him. But who is he? Nobody knows ... The things we are using from this mysterious person are really good. I am grateful for that. Perhaps Satoshi will never appear, but I think that is reasonable. For his assurance  safety haha

Just keep watching the known address owned by satoshi and if the funds there started moving, then maybe you'll get some clue where to find him. But I bet those funds will not move because satoshi does not want to be found. Maybe he has other addresses we do not know that is now accumulating bitcoin and those bitcoins he can use without us even knowing that those are his.

[Paashaas]

i think not he, them.and i also think they are still around us even here bitcointalk.and im glad they created bitcoin but im so tired of hearing satoshi.isnt it enough to talk about it?

I bet Satoshi still visits this forum , he may even be posting from an alt account.

I share the same thought as you.

Why do you need to find him??

[rdbase]

I suspect that Satoshi Nakamoto is not an original person's name but the name of a group of large companies combined. then satoshi doesn't make bitcoin alone but has a large community.

This is what I believe too because just one person could not do this sort of work alone but was a conglomerate of several people to accomplish this rather big achievement.
Even if it were just one person I think he would be smart enough to know how to keep hidden from the world if he really wanted to.

I also have same question. Why do you want to find him? Bitcoin not works like is wrote in whitepaper? You not like the price or? You see that Satoshi sell mined bitcoins from his wallets?  

[manok jepang]

Who is behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto is still unknown and a mystery. All that remains is documentation fragments as part of the history of bitcoin. In discussing some clues about Satoshi Nakamoto, to find out the characteristics and characters as long as he is still active in bitcoin. Maybe there are still some people who think Satoshi Nakamoto is a real figure like other inventors in general.

I don't think there is any specific reason for all this pondering on who he is, other than that people are just curious.
You know, seeing is believing. Not much would change if we had Satoshi's selfie on some ridiculous social media.
I think it is actually million times better that he is "missing", this only shows that bitcoin's protocol is anonymous and can be trusted to keep your identity a secret. Basically every claim about btc not being 100% anonymous, can be refuted with one single question.
Genius and clever indeed, to me those can only be traits of a person, one person!

I doubt that the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto was a group of people who found bitcoin and blockchain technology. The thing that comes up in my mind is they hide because they want Bitcoin decentralized and they left this bitcoin with an open source code that anyone can improve what is bitcoin and how does it work.

OP, there is no reason for finding real Satoshi Nakamoto. We respect their decision to hide their identity because that is their own risk as well.

Of course, he can be tracked if he moves the BTC, the problem is that his BTC hasn't been moved, if you take a look for the first blocks the mining reward still unspent, that's how people calculate the total number of bitcoins that satoshi owns and he has 1 million of bitcoins stuck.

If one of those 50BTC block rewards get spent, we can be sure the police will be knocking a door in the next minute.

Here we go again. Another Satoshi thread. Don't you guys ever get tired of being curious as to Satoshi and his whereabouts? The man or woman or a group of people etc developed something amazing and left.

Satoshi clearly wants to stay hidden which is why we need to respect that instead of trying to satisfy our curiosities.

Since we do not stop running after human curiosity, we still do not live by burning fire in caves. Modern life and technology, even the creation of Bitcoin, was created by asking a curiosity and question.

Yeah, I'm sure Satoshi's not coming back, but that's not stopping you from trying to reach him. Even if he died somehow, it would be nice to know. Also, at the point we came today, I think there are a lot of questions that we ask Satoshi to answer.

And last, I respect him call about being hidden.

Actually I mean something else. I think, after genesis block first mining activities belong to Satoshi. So this Bitcoin which mined that time is still active or holding in same wallet. It may give us a hint.

I also have same question. Why do you want to find him? Bitcoin not works like is wrote in whitepaper? You not like the price or? You see that Satoshi sell mined bitcoins from his wallets?  

I think I answered this question at my first answer. Look up!

[yazher]

maybe Satoshi is a great organization made up of wealthy people in different parts of the world, A private organization and every move they make is calculated by their Boss. so far until today we have not found out who Satoshi really is, I think that's a mystery that's just not enough to solve for a few years. even the best scouts will not find satoshi until now, because in reality He Doesn't really exist.

[MakeMoneyBtc]

Right know I think it's quite hard to do that because most of the tracks have been deleted. Maybe if you would have started immediately after he disappeared then your chances will be higher but I am pretty sure he deleted all his tracks and that was probably his plan in the first place, to remain anonymous.

[jpoker272727]

A question which will be a legend in this currency.
Even we try to find Satoshi by tracking him, can we really find him?
Will he let us find him? and if we do! how sure are we that we are correct? there are some people claiming they are Nakamoto but we dont believe them.

[denzkilim]

Finding Satoshi's addresses isn't a big secret, but it doesn't tell you who he is.
He'll need to spend his coins first to get any clues.

You've nailed it! Yeah even if they find his Bitcoin addresses I doubt that they will know who he is.

I think most of the people are really curious about who Satoshi Nakamoto is whether if he is alive or not, it gives people some kind of thrill knowing the person behind the legendary invention called "Bitcoin" and I guess they will continue to be curious even a lot of decades will pass. No one knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is but the only thing that I know is that he is the real anonymous for concealing his identity until today.

That claim are obviously fake! I don't believe any of them. But real Satoshi can be found in future. I believe in that. I don't know that he reveal himself or we find him But one day we will.

haha that an interesting theory, I've heard some crazy ones myself.  One is bitcoin was created by the USA government in order to test out a global currency.  But the craziest one is Satoshi is an A.I. robot that designed bitcoin to gain financial dominance and take over the world.

[proTECH77]

Can't see obvious reasons why we should talk about the said inventor of this payment method to the people. He/she/they/ have done their part, simply by inventing this technology which is taken over the payment method world wide. Whatsoever the name Satoshi is; i don't care but have my humble respect for the name because He/She/They have given the voice to the voiceless in the society and freedom to the captives, transparency to the oppressed, stop digging into Satoshi whereabouts. 

[r1a2y3m4]

The real question in here is, does Satoshi Nakamoto wanted to be founded? Looking at the clues of bitcoin, he made everybody anonymous online. In fact, he promotes anonymity unlike facebook or other social media, that you need to provide your personal info just to create an account. The answer to your question is simple, Satoshi does not want us to find him nor wanted to be found.

All you got to do is to thank him for the technology he brought to us and this technology is what we are enjoying. Even though Satoshi is still unknown to us, he's known to our heart and will be forever remembered. And for you to thank him, we need to provide support for a massive adaptation of his creation. That way, Satoshi Nakamoto will be proud on us even though he's not around and we can't see what he looks like he is watching us.   

[Oceat]

Everyone is finding Satoshi already, but guess what? None of them tells us if they do find him/them already or not since he is a famous guy. He is just secretly hiding in a safer place where while living along with us. If someone would have to open that wallet of Satoshi, I'm pretty sure everyone will be tracing him including the government.
