Can We Find Satoshi?

[ðºÞæ]

Craig can prove to be Satoshi and created Bitcoin with credit card payments and Austalian tax audits.

"Bitcoin was birthed using a credit card payment. The records of that payment are required to be kept by the banking system for 25 years. It hasn’t been that long. More importantly, I claimed the expenses on my tax in the 2008/2009 tax year."

"The source of the funds that went to pay for the bitcoin.org domain registration on annonymousspeech.com derived from my credit card. More importantly, those records remain current and valid."

in 10 years no one could find satoshi, in my opinion he didn't want the public to know who he was and we should be able to respect his choices. All we need to know about him is that he has contributed to creating bitcoin that we can enjoy now

[Astvile]

Thats still a question remaining to be answered in the near future,been a long ride but the creator is not yet revealed to the public.I think security is the best answer on why he wont show up but im pretty sure he is still managing his very succesful project

Another Satoshi topic that is to be tackled once more, Satoshi can just simply be anyone, Satoshi is more like a placement now, think of a King in a kingdom and that is how I look at Satoshi, Satoshi Nakamoto could just even be a screen name, no one knows who the real satoshi is and if the real one is still alive, and I am sure that there could have been another Satoshi Nakamoto by now, so if you are asking if we can find Satoshi the answer is a big fat NO, Satoshi can be anyone, if you'd expect anonymity around BTC then expect anonymity with the owner as well.

whoever is satoshi, wherever he is, real or not. his identity will remain confidential and I think it is natural that one of them is for security.
therefore it would be better if we stop discussing it.

wrong, do you even read?

You can stop people for them not to tackle or do talk about the creator of Bitcoin.We are here on this forum because of him due to this innovative tech which is really beneficial not only
on financial system but also with money making opportunity as well.

Have you seen guys the current issue with Craig Wright?

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're right. But I think this will never happen.Whether it is 1 person or a group-it does not matter.The material world for them lies in another plane.Therefore, do not wait for transactions from Satoshi's wallet.

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!)

I do not really understand what value would be if we knew who Satoshi was?
I see that the knowledge provided by Satoshi is the true treasure that must occupy us and complete guy's path and achieve the main goals of ecrypto as a whole Of financial freedom that have  got rid us from the strict and central constraints that control the current financial system which proved to be a failure.

I think your thingking is to find Satoshi is really hard because we don't know who is really Satoshi . I don't think there's a way to find him unless they will show his self to us to the community of the cryptocurrency that he is really Satoshi.

And is anybody looking for him at all? If there are,  for what purpose? I don't think finding satoshi nakamoto will make any difference in anyone's life and i agree with what you said, there's no certainty that this is only one guy we're talking about. I think it' futile to try to know who or where satoshi is.

[maydna]

I don't think that it will be easy to find Satoshi. He is still alive until now but he still hiding in a secret place and no one knows where is he and who is he. He doesn't want to be found by anyone, and he prefers to stay in the place he belongs while he can work in another project. I am sure that someday, he will come back to here and he will show to us that he still doing a lot of things.

Let him busy with his work. Perhaps, he will come back when bitcoin has reached its glory in the future. We don't know what is his purpose by hiding or disappear, but yes, he left his legacy to us until now. Satoshi itself is not one person, I believe, but it's a group of people who work in bitcoin in the earlier time, and I am sure there is many of them still work in bitcoin by anonymous.

Because people with the power to find out, don't care.  If the FBI or the police wanted to figure out who Satoshi Nakamoto was, I'm pretty sure that they could do it very quickly.  However, since he has not committed a crime, they don't care, and they have more important things to do.  More importantly, even if law enforcement knows who he is already, it would be illegal to release his name as he has done nothing illegal, and law enforcement has no reason to out him.

[btc78]

Before answering that,let me ask first!!!

For what reason we need to find Satoshi Nakamoto?is their anything that will benefit you if we ever we find fhe person?because if not then stop this kind of nonsense and focus on your life.

I don’t need to find Satoshi but what i wanna do and hope is ,he can still read all the good things cryptonians saying about the creation he did

I think it's complicated, I have knowledge for internet security by tracking every activity in the internet world.
but I never tried to track down Satosi, it seemed like it was very complicated but it didn't mean it wasn't possible.
and I believe, there are many of the internet experts who have done that and may have been revealed if known. but the fact is that until now satosi is anonymous

[okala]

Santoshi wallet have huge unspent amount of bitcoin on it and it until there is a transactions on the wallet that one can have a clue if he is still alive or not, and even if we have clue of him being alive what about his identity and location since bitcoin operate on privacy policy that does not reveale users identity.

[traderethereum]

I doubt you can find Satoshi because he still stays in his room
Maybe Satoshi doesn't want any people to find him because if he shows himself to the public, the media will ask with so many questions related to cryptocurrency and I don't think that will makes him comfortable with that.
Maybe the wallet can be tracked but to find where is Satoshi is not an easy work because he is too smart in hiding and he will make sure that no one can found him.

[olamidey]

Even though he's invisible, the blockchain and bitcoin that he created still lives on. So much posts and threads about him everywhere with lots of people claiming to be him or know him. For a fact he has some bitcoins with him and hopefully when they get spent, those who know those wallets can hopefully trace. Will live for the guy to come out openly and get a Nobel prize.

[pey]

No we can't but some people can easily find and to me found Satoshi. The problem is that there is no financial or any other motivation to search for his real identity.

[jhongzjhong]

I think if ever we found Satoshi there's nothing we can do with the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin price will fine even Satoshi was not there since he left this with an open source and anyone can develop bitcoin source code. There's always a signed where Satoshi can be found through the bitcoin address wallet that he/they used. For me, it's better Satoshi can still hide so that bitcoin will remain anonymous and decentralized digital currency.

[Initscri]

God help this obsession to find this person/group.

I honestly don't know what is to be gained by identifying him/her. It's not worth the potential *negative* media coverage. Remember, if this person/group is found, they are going to be scrutinized w/ a fine tooth comb by the media for anything that may be misconstrued as negative.

Just let it be.
