Who is Satoshi?

[CryptoBry]

I think digging too much about Satoshi wouldn't make sense anymore. If he wants to expose himself then it would be just easy but it's his choice to keep things in private so we must respect that. We don't know the reason why he has to hide his identity but it might be for his own safety. There are people who are trying to steal Satoshi's identity but everything won't surely work.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the most figure in the history of bitcoin and since he decided to go underground after some time leading the foundation of it then yes we have to respect his own decision to do so. Even if we can unearth who is this man and where he is now (if he is still alive, that is) it would not matter that much. People who are so obsessed to find the man should instead just take Craig Wright as the most viable replacement. Let's move on because I am sure this is the very wish of the man many would like to search and find...

Currency what your point is, we are not here because of Satoshi Nakamoto for those Pizza guys we are just here because we found Bitcoin profitable. I have no intention of discovering who supporting Nakamoto is even he is a human or not and those Pizza guy thing is just one of the many different things which people like to discuss. it's like sauce on your food.

[Pumared]

you guys know that the whole thing is called cryptocurrency and it comes from cryptography in a sense

so if someone that creates crypto software- what makes you think he uses his real name to sign something

i mean has anyone ever tried to decrypt the name Satoshi Nakamoto?

also another fact is - the 2 persons that did the pizza transaction are virtually nonexistent aswell, or has anyone ever met those 2 guys, just asking

So that leaves you with cryptocurrency invented by a name that might be encrypted aswell and the first transaction has been done by 2 persons that don't even exist

why dont you keep diggin folks?

Even if you keep digging you will never know now who is Satoshi.
Now, everyone can claim that this is Satoshi, but noone can trust him. For example Craig Wright says that he is the inventor but he just do this for marketing purposes and in order to make profits.

The real satoshi has all the private keys of the wallets that are related to it. If he wants to come back and say hello he will simply prove and not just say "I am satoshi"

[mamesso]

I prefer to ignore the question.
Who is Satoshi?
for me it's not important, because he doesn't want to be called a hero. he remained in hiding and made a big contribution to the World. I think it's better. for me it is more important that we continue to invest with crypto.

[leonair]

We don't know who was the inventor of paper, pen, eraser, and some other things that we are using in our daily lives though but we are benefiting from it since its inception.

He create a game changer technology and I can consider him as a philanthropists that chooses not to reveal himself and I think Satoshi is alive and well.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the inventor of Bitcoin, end of story.

[pixie85]

Do you really care who Satoshi is? You obviously have a limited understanding of bitcoin if you can't google Laszlo Hanyecz and don't know that he's a real person.

People well continue to look for him but there's a high chance he's not alive anymore. I wouldn't put too much effort into it since he's not important anymore. He's a great man but he doesn't control bitcoin so it doesn't matter who he is and it's best for him if people don't find out.

I agree, Satoshi Nakamoto is simply a pseudonym for the project.
It really could be one guy, or a team of altruistic Cypher Punks. The fact the Satoshi Nakamoto hasn't spent any of his own Bitcoins speaks volumes on the state of mind the real entity has. What a selfless act of charity and kindness
   Look around you, we live in the age of Narcism, where the majority is concerned with self. Blockchain and Bitcoin project are open source.

Yeah it's too much more discussions about nakamoto satoshi , I agree if he want to show their identity in the pubioc is too easy but please respect him decision as simple as he want a private life for their safety and security purposes.

I totally agree, if he prefer being private why can’t people just let him be, why can’t they understand he doesn’t want any public attention. Bitcoin has been doing good without him surfacing so why don’t we just focus ourselves in bitcoin rather than wasting out time digging or finding who the real satoshi is. Also, him coming out will not make any difference, will it?

[yusupjatigumilar]

After I read the articles from some sources about who the satoshi nakamoto was, the outline I got was as follows, some have argued that satoshi nakamoto is the nickname or password of an operation where there are several people in the execution team, then they deliberately hide their identity for security reasons, I guess if you want to know who actually satoshi nakamoto is why we did not try to ask it at the first pizza seller selling pizza with bitcoin he certainly knows who it is satoshi nakamoto.

[Dingdongjl]

I dont get why you guys are very interested on ones personal information even though we all know that the real Satoshi doesnt want to be known, why dont we just respect his/her decision its his life his choice lets just be thankful that he made bitcoin for us.

[phamminhtan]

I think it is not so important to learn or be curious about him, he wants to hide himself of course he will have his own reasons, or he does not want everyone to bother his life is too much.

[sri.bima]

Until when does this question and want to know about Satoshi Nakamoto will continue to exist? If indeed Craig Wright is satoshi nakamoto, of course this question has already been answered. Whoever is Satoshi Nakamoto, he is a great person and has changed many people to become more advanced. Thank you.

[TahuDiniHari]

everyone has their own views about satoshi, maybe a lot of information about him on the internet, you could know through google or wikipedia, but for me satoshi is an innovator in the world economy, especially in the field of cryptocurrency.  the bitcoin that he made is the best digital currency of all time, and the real evidence, so far bitcoin is still a reference for other digital currencies.

This is Satoshi Nakamoto: https://gizmodo.com/the-strange-life-and-death-of-dave-kleiman-a-computer-1747092460

There are still not enough evidence on the link shared above fella, it will make sense when people are able to provide us with concrete evidence for us to believe either Satoshi is still alive of dead long time ago, rather than spreading fake rumors around the planet earth. Have seen many faketoshi these days, and they are all faking some body identity for fame.   

[xWolfx]

Who developed bitcoin and the first block chain database, suthored the bitcoin white paper original reference implementstion.

This is pretty much everything in a nutshell.

Creator, pioneer, innovator however you wanna call him or all three. Not known if he is dead or alive, no idea who that is. A lot of people want to know who he is but he probably don't want people to know who he is.

Fame can be a two way street. Positive for one side, extremely annoying for the other side and also could be dangerous. A smart guy like him, who thinks out of any box saw that for sure.

Maybe the main reason Satoshi Nakamato created the Bitcoins was because he wanted things like transactions and everything to be hidden and actually that is the case , it's the only way to actually hide things from the government , the reason behind hiding things from the government is not because you are doing something wrong , sometimes privacy is a issue and not every government is good and thinking of the welfare of people.
He is a person who didn't wanted his identity to be disclosed , then so be it , maybe he will tell us this someday and maybe he won't , in both cases he is a legend to be honest.

But if he wanted to be released he would have done so at the beginning of the whole project and not today. A person facing the state runs more than financial risks ...

i mean has anyone ever tried to decrypt the name Satoshi Nakamoto?

So far we have some guys who are a big joke for the crypto world:

Wei Liu

In the filing, Liu claims to have published the bitcoin white paper on Jan. 11, 2008, under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto

and

Faketoshi

Who thought this Dai would never come ? 

[FlightyPouch]

I don't think they are non-existent and I don't really mind who Satoshi Nakamoto is right now. But in terms of his pieces of information, we don't know anything but there is a new individual that is being claimed or being nominated to be another Satoshi. You can just read this in this link.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5150245.0.
