Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Part History, Part Mystery, and a New Solution!

[Twinkledoe]

If his identity is revealed, will he come back to the forum and take back the reigns of Bitcoin? I wonder if the Core team would be at odds with him?

I do not really think if he comes back and reveals his identity, he would take back the reigns of the blockchain network. Satoshi has already contributed a lot towards the growth of the cryptocurrencies and now even if he reveals his identity, there would be a number of huge firms which would hire him to work for their firm. Peoples like him with such extra talent are rarely seen and I individually respect satoshi whoever he/she might be. There would a ample of respect owned by him/her until the death of the cryptocurrencies. Times will come when bitcoins would be on the highest peak and it would really be much good for bitcoins that time if satoshi reveals his identity at the peak.

LMAO he has over 50 million bitcoins he can sell (70 or so chains and each 1.1million is his). Just with the BTC holdings he is Billionaire.

In case someone has not noticed there is a multi billion dollar law suite happening right now.

Honestly, what the OP wrote is an interesting one or should I say a very entertaining from my end. It is like I am reading a fiction storyline. Everyone can give their opinion on this matter but I don't think we will know the real Satoshi in our lifetime. Still a big mystery for all of us.

[Eildosa]

It was very interesting to read. It is good that people are trying to get at least some information about Satoshi and that they are conducting such research. But unfortunately the truth, we hardly ever know. It remains only to speculate.

[CryptoBry]

It is intriguing and all of us is really curious about the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. This details and speculation about him is great. I am wondering why Satoshi had been inactive for a long time. Could it be that the creator of bitcoin is already dead? He surely did a great job hiding his identity. I guess it is really best to let him be anonymous since he doesn't really intend to reveal himself.

Satoshi Nakamoto will remain to be one of the most fascinating mysteries ever...and people especially those in the world of cryptocurrency will continue to speculate as to who can be the real Satoshi and the many mysterious surrounding his continuous absence from the scene. A lot are speculating that maybe he can already be dead but a lot are also hoping that he is just hiding somewhere and that one day he will resurface and be the figure leader of the Bitcoin movement. As of now, let's just be content and respect his own decision to stay silent (that is if nothing untoward happened to him).

The only thing Satoshi hasn't revealed till now it's his identity. Hope, I'll witness it happening during my life

If he wanted to stay anonymous forever he would not have copyrighted.

This is very interesting. From what I've understand in this findings, Satoshi is a real person with authority. I mean, how is he able to muster so much time to build Bitcoin? The article itself said that he might have access to a cutting-edge technology. He is probably a government worker. Also, someone is trying to help him hide his true identity.

Thanks. The person we found was a normal person; very smart and talented. They were definitely not of any government or intelligence related background. More academia hence availability of time and access to wide array of knowledge and toolsets to develop Bitcoin.

Satoshis real name is Banksy.

Can i ask which UK town it was?

Some of the findings have been withheld as the document outlines we have no interest in dox-ing Satoshi. We could publish the UK town and more detailed info on his background - however this would only narrow the field of search for other parties that may not have best interests at heart. The document was published to provide some history on Bitcoin, prove that Satoshi Nakamoto was a single person of UK origin and more importantly highlight that origin related code exists that could be of use to the crypto community today in 2019! We will add more information regarding this latter point in the coming days.

FYI for enthusiasts, we would recommend reading the PDF and following through all the source URLs in the document. These links are very interesting reads in themselves.

[FIFA worldcup]

Leave the creator of Bitcoin alone. Respect his decision. He disappeared not to be sought. If Satoshi wants, then he will seem. It would be better for everyone if the personality of Nakamoto remains unknown forever.

This is very sad that we will never be able to know who was  Satoshi Nakamoto ?
If he is alive he should show or reveal himself / Herself in public.  Recently many people or whales like Criag white etc claim falsely that they are  Satoshi Nakamoto. Since the real  Satoshi is unknown any famous person can claim to be him and become famous in media for sometime.

[BlackFor3st]

The information is very interesting to read, I am very interested to know if who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto but in the end there is no exact name that were given.

But I am still happy that they have revealed that Satoshi Nakamoto is a British Asian, Science Alumni and was born in 1975. So in my opinion, Satoshi Nakamoto is still alive but I am wondering why he/she didn't reveal himself until now. Is it part of his/her plan, to make sure that the price of bitcoin will continue to rise. I will be looking forward to the future details and hoping that we can have his/her picture and real identity.

Theres a chance that he may be dead but im pretty sure hes not,im sure he is having a great time sleeping on bed of dollars lol.Surely he did an excellent job hiding identity and just left clues that makes all people wonder who is he.Him revealing himself will be a huge news for bitcoin and will surely create an hype

Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the read. Satoshi is still alive and his reason for staying anonymous is to do purely with safety (pre-Bitcoin). So it is very unlikely he will reveal his identity anytime soon. Also based on the research Satoshi did exactly as he stated and moved on to bigger things and has not touched Bitcoin since 2011. Some interesting follow-up info (not identity related) is being researched which may yield some valuable information for the community.

how do you know Satoshi is still alive?

[Remainder]

Great effort, love reading it though I am not interested  on knowing who really is Satoshi, that is because I believe crypto will continue to grow if satoshi will remain anonymous.

Our detailed research led us to a 'new Satoshi candidate' that meets all the known public criterias and some findings that have been kept private. Based on this information the candidate is definitely alive. Also the person is not someone that has been named or mentioned on these forums before.

[podpaymentcoin]

That is a perfectly reasonable position. As you can see, we did not reveal any name from our findings. A lot of people state why so much research into Satoshi? Well part history and part trying to find the missing pieces of the puzzle.

Would you be interested if the search revealed unpublished code and ideas that were never made public that could take cryptocurrency forward towards mainstream adoption? And accomplish the goals of the original whitepaper. To do all that you need to find Satoshi first and then discover the more important information.

Well, so far, no one can ascertain of the man named Satoshi Nakamoto is still alive somewhere just hiding underground or maybe if he already dead and therefore has no more chance to interact with us in anyway except if he can send us his ghost (kidding!). Maybe the assumption that Satoshi is still alive is just because nobody can gauged that he is already dead. Me, am looking forward for the time when someone can touch and move some of the bitcoin that the man owned.

[bitcoin31]

Thank you for sharing about the information of Satoshi Nakamoto, Many people still confuse why he did not want to reveal his self to public and that his choice and everyome decision will be respect too. For the newbie who did not know Satoshi this thread can helpful for them to see about the details of Nakamoto who is the founder of bitcoin and gives opportunity to us too.

[Nellayar]

I just skimmed those information because I am not really interested in looking for someone that doesn't want to reveal his identity. I born not because to find him though I have a little bit curious of what Satoshi Nakamoto really is. However, I believe that time comes it will be publicly show his self. Specially today that there are people who accepts the credibility he must receive.

[bristlefront]

Congrats! You have wasted your time knowing him instead of doing more productive things. Does it reward you? Why even this drama gets more attention and why don't just leave the man's privacy alone. If he want to reveal himself, he will.

Spending time to understand the history of cryptography, e-cash and ultimately Bitcoin is not a waste of time at all. All the interesting challenges and developments took place during the origin phase. In-fact all the future goals and where crypto needs to go was defined too. Nothing has changed and any information that helps reach the goals of the original whitepaper are of immense value to the whole community.
