Another pretender or assuming He is the founder of Bitcoin, this is not the first time happened that someone claimed he was the founder.
Probably He want's to connect his name in crypto industry to become viral in this business. But for sure majority or almost all communities
will not believe on this matter anyway.

[mk4]

He's simply just another person added to the list that's trying to claim to be Satoshi. Not only that it doesn't really matter who Satoshi Nakamoto really is, it's also highly unlikely to be this guy as far as I know. So let's stop giving him the attention he wants.

I've read the article and that's quite unbelievable, coming from the creator of Bitcoin, I believe it's just an alibi so the community will not force him to open his wallet, and his language seems to be very different from the original Nakamoto, I think the company that backs up his claims have a good writer.

[NeuroticFish]

claims that he was the founder of bitcoin.. But lost his hard drive.. Is this possible??

How convenient, isn't it? Well, everything is possible, however, the only valid claim is by signing properly a new message with the keys known to be Satoshi's.
No proof, no Satoshi.

(Also, why on earth would he make such claims after hiding so many years?!)

I just found his statement two days ago and started reading about it. I can't deny the fact that I really enjoyed reading his entire claim. It is way better than any other claims that I read till date and I really enjoyed reading it. This fellow must have taken a good long time to write it.

Nonetheless, we all know there's no concrete way to prove someone as the creator of bitcoin other than signing from the private key known to be Satoshis as correctly mentioned by Neuroticfish. So until that happens, it's better to sit back and enjoy some good readings!

I believe the fellow specifically mentioned about the hard drive so that no one can ask for the proof of ownership!

Btw, his website link is given below,

Consider him a troll, do you honestly believed that Satoshi would just loss his privatekey just like that? The guy has above average intellect and he created a product that we today are enjoying. So I have doubts about Caan claims that he as Satoshi just lost his hard drive just like that and that is the main reason why he left suddenly. Also there's a lot of contradiction in his statement that makes me and the rest of crypto enthusiast doubt his authenticity.

[sunsilk]

Don't believe to an individual that claims to be satoshi unless he can prove him in the simplest way. And how could that be? Through this quote below.

the only valid claim is by signing properly a new message with the keys known to be Satoshi's.

It's not the first time to see someone claim to be satoshi even CSW claimed to be him but he can't prove it through that validation.

[FlightyPouch]

And another one, Im tired of this. There are a lot of people saying they are the founder of bitcoin, they are Satoshi Nakamoto but man, there are a lot of ways to prove that and that drive is not enough, not even true, might be. If it is him, let him prove it. He is saying that he is the founder and yet what he is saying so early is his reason and not a proof.

[Saisher]

It's a weak explanation, I am a newbie in using a laptop but I see to it that if I have important files, I will make sure that will give them instructions that they are going to return my old Hdd or will go to the office myself and see all the procedures on how they are going to fix my laptop.
or always create a backup, I don't know the situation back 2009 but people have some tools on how to back up their files back then.

[kaya11]

Is there any experts out there at comparing an analyzing written scripts of the people who already claimed that they were satoshi? Maybe this claims are made by a single group of companies? Paid their actors and then later on pull their names up leading to their own benefits and their respected companies. These people aren't just stopping from 1 person to another, it's like a disease that is spreading all over the net. I think later on more random guys will pop up claiming to be satoshi, and it could be you or me too.

[fulled]

He just seek an attention, what the point for someone like satoshi to ruin his own image for claiming this after 10 years without capability to proof himself as a real satoshi

Wouldn't you create a copy or something just to make sure that it's safe?
This is just another person who wants to get some attention,
I mean Satoshi hid since the Bitcoin was created so why would Satoshi go out to the public now?

He's stupid enough to think people would believe in that. Any sane developer would make a backup for their project in case something bad happened in their current hardware. He is another attention seeker trying to seek fame through impersonating an online genius. Just like the others who noticed, just ignore him, you'll just make it worst.

[Kakmakr]

You can just add James Bilal Caan to the long list of FakeToshis out there that wants to claim that they are Satoshi Nakamoto. Losing the hard drive is the perfect excuse not to be able to digitally sign the early Bitcoin addresses that would be accepted as a true validation that you are the real Satoshi Nakamoto. 

Can this happen? Yes for sure this could happen, but it is very unlikely that a genius like Satoshi Nakamoto would make a basic mistake like that and also not realistic that he would have stored all those coins on one hard drive. 

[figmentofmyass]

Consider him a troll, do you honestly believed that Satoshi would just loss his privatekey just like that?

i don't think satoshi lost the private keys by accident, but i think he/they intentionally lost them. comments like these give me the distinct feeling that satoshi took an altruistic approach to bitcoin, not a greedy one:

Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more.  Think of it as a donation to everyone.

but yeah, caan is just a troll. it's obvious satoshi is either dead or intended never to be found. so unless somebody provides the proof, they're just a troll. if my theory is correct, there literally is no proof.

[acroman08]

it's funny how everyone who claims to be the founder of bitcoin seems to have lost something to prove that they are the actual founder.
also do does he know that the "hard drive" is not the only way to prove that he is the founder of bitcoin. these people who will claim
that they are satoshi should do better and not stay to the ol "I lost something to prove that I am satoshi".

Right, he is just one of those people who want to get credits from the success of bitcoin, it could be that he might have other intentions like trying to introduce another coin and for the coin to be as successful as bitcoin he wanted to use Satoshis name for the coin to be recognize and and for people to invest in it. For me he is just one of the con artist that is wanting attention from people nothing more.

I would put him on a lie detectors and see if he can prove anything, starting from his name change.
I also wonder who in the world takes pictures of old laptops if they still keep them.

Point of his 'reveal' is to introduce his company product...whatever that is,
and sadly some newbies believe him...  

[okae]

/sarcasm on

Yes, he is the real S.N. as you can see, he has shown it....but thats not the important thing here, the important thing here is that his on a new proyect called "AnnurcaCoin", yes? so lets wait for it to release it and follow it!!!! or maybe in the upcoming days he will reveal another one proyect that we can follow....

/sarcasm off

cmon guys....do you really think that S.N. would reveal his identity without any proof? really?.

[pakhitheboss]

Such strange claims have been around for quite some time now. Everyone knows those who are claiming that they are the founder of Bitcoin can never prove it as due to some strange event they either lose their private key or hard drive.

I feel sorry for these guys, they have some kind of psychological disorder. Most of them are hungry for media attention and some of them have become rich by claiming to become the founder of Bitcoin.

We as a community are a fool to follow them and listen to their stories.

[jake zyrus]

Claiming to be Satoshi but in a different way. But again, no valid and enough proof or evidence to make everyone believe about his statement.
Bute seriously, since a lot of people are claiming to be Satoshi, it makes it even harder to believe.

I have watched a Youtube video regarding the Part 1 of the Satoshi Nakamoto revelation.
I don't want to say that he isn't Satoshi but to lost the access to the address who holds ~1M Bitcoins?? I don't think that can be acceptable. If he really is the creator, he must've created a backup of it. I don't believe that he is Satoshi but lets way for the other parts and maybe it will convince other stupids out there .

Nowadays, Satoshi has a fashion to claim. One after another, people come out saying that I am Satoshi.

I think there's a question we have to ask these people! If you were supposed to show up one day, why did you hide your identity until now?

[uartasic]

after some more digging it seems it couldnt have been DK who was Satoshi, not that i care who they are.

Dave passed away before the mainstream media picked up on the story of Dorian Nakamoto.

not long after that story, Satoshi then emailed to say he was not Dorian.

of course, unless they have email in the afterlife???

We are all Satoshi.

[Reid]

We can all tell the same. But still the last proof would be logging in here and the better one or the solid proof will be moving something out of that wallet of satoshi.

We can all tell the same and just have the same alibi. As long as you know the curves and history of bitcoin, it wont be difficult to pretend.
But for now, he is just one guy which is the same as those who claimed they are satoshi.

Bitcoin is now popular all over the world but the founder still anonymous. I'm not even surprised if there are people or person claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto but still i did not believed it except if that person has a strong and valid documents or proof of evidence that he is really the founder of bitcoin.

He is just giving problems to Himself, or this is only a tactic or strategy in order for the real founder to defy His Statement, but it is not all about popularity it's all about anonymously being rich.

If I were Satoshi I will slap James on His Face.

 coded crypto will never be lost, Is he insane? an asset that could give anybody the richness He/she wants was lost without back up?

It is easy to say he lost the hard drive and claim this and that but it doesn’t mean he is Satoshi Nakamoto, there has been a lot of individual trying to claim they are Satoshi but none of them really was proven to be the real one and for me this James is no different, I don’t know if he has other motives that is why he is coming out all of a sudden but I find his story very add and unreliable.

[Gi01]

All these people claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto are just attention seekers. How can you make this senseless statement that you lost your hard drive ?  Even people new in the crypto space will not agree with him on that 'he lost his hard drive' and even think of believing that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.  People should stop making a fool out of themselves by claiming to be Satoshi.

[barbara44]

The explanation of his hard drive does not really mix up and he is just a liar trying to sell off the idea of the coin that he quite mentioned in there, and one day I am sure he will go to jail when the real satoshi reveals himself because that is just like him impersonating satoshi, but I hope that before then, it would not be too late because majority of investors that has always been gullible will eventually fall into the trap of that coin.

Someone who designed a system that will take information never to be lost is telling me that he lost that information to one hold hard drive that could have been gotten anywhere. I am glad that most of us are quite smarter than him, and we will never allow him to toil with our mind and imagination.

[maxreish]

It doesn't makes sense. If James is one of the founder of bitcoin, he will not carelessly allow his hard drive to be gone. Since we assumed that they are the co founder then what they have  created is special that they will treat their product as a fragile one and stored it in a safe place.
 
 IMO, revealing it now whether it's true or not doesn't change everything. Maybe like CSW , he wanted to gain popularity, too.

Exactly, those are the questions that are running into my mind right now. Why would he reveal himself after all those years hiding his real identity? What is the main reason? it's really hard to understand why people claim themselves as someone else, they are trying to make people believe because they think they can get a lot of benefits from it.

[manok jepang]

He stated in part two of his three-piece blog the name of his birth was Bilal Khalid and he changed his legal name to James Caan. One of the reasons why Crypto fans are so interested in discovering Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity is because he is believed to have a bitcoin of $ 10 billion, based on current prices. Can claim that he canceled his bitcoin hard drive stored on his computer which was not done.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

So what? If he is truly the founder of bitcoin do I have to believe him? the anynomous thing was be designed by Satoshi Nakamoto at the first time he created bitcoin and I never think that he will appear when bitcoin is using by many people on this world. Even, he will keep him self anynomously and avoid to someone who will reveal himself to media.

I just thinking that for some people who reveal that he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto at this time I will never take seriously. I'll consider that he is a person who want to be known by the user of cryptocurrency and the compensation is there will many people who trust to what he says especially whe he predict bitcoin price or some development on the system of bitcoin in the future.

A Pakistani Claims He’s the Founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto

" pakistani "

Pakistani man claims to be real Bitcoin creator


" pakistani-man "

A Pakistani Claims He’s the Founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto

" pakistani "

I wonder why so many news channels are writing this: " pakistani-man "

[barbara44]

^There is no difference between satoshi coming out like 5 years ago to make this claim and also coming out now, I am sure that if satoshi just wanted to come out usually like the way this guy came, he would not have waited this long to write those articles and make those confession, he is not satoshi and that Pakistan man is just looking for what is not missing, he wants to be famous, he might be a computer tech, but can never be as good as satoshi, and I am sure the real satoshi will be watching every of his step now and laughing over it. 

If the real satoshi is not dead which I believe that he is not, then one day he will come our if he has not created a mini nation then because that his holding can feed a nation in future when bitcoin grows very high in value.

This is non-sense, no one smart enough to create something like bitcoin could lose his hard drive arbitrarily... And if he really lost his hard drive he should have a back up from his privatekeys, is common sense, bitcoin was made that way for a reason. So, we can say James is just another faketoshi...

I mean it isn't impossible that Satoshi could lose his hard drive or it was stolen but I'm sure the creator of bitcoin would go to great lengths to protect it and keep multiple copies safe.  So you can never say with 100 percent certainty someone isn't satoshi.

He’s Hard drive never got Lost because he can surely open he’s account here at anytime by contacting Theymos ,then after he can sort things to prove he’s Ownership of bitcoin

But what I am sure that lost here is “His Mind” that’s why he has this new claim just right after Craig Wright being proved to be a Fud lol

[actmyname]

I think there's a question we have to ask these people! If you were supposed to show up one day, why did you hide your identity until now?

That question needs better phrasing. Regardless of the duration, the question is applicable.

Why didn't you do X until now?

If I had never eaten a carrot until this week, what is the point of asking, "why haven't you eaten carrots until now?"

[cizatext]

Well I don't believe in any person coming out to claim to be the founder of bitcoin as long as there is no 100% proof of that. Many have claim to be santoshi and at the end turn out to be false claim.

[Leonardo7]

He will eventually end up like Craig Wright who lays claim to bitcoin that never exist. Expect more and more false claimers to the creation of bitcoin. Everyone wants to be in the news, but there are better ways of doing that other than being an imposter.

[Searing]

What you guys think about James? Why he use this type of statement.. Specially his explanation about his hard drive?

Let say everything he says is true, in his own mind at least. The problems are these:

1) If he really did lose the HD with the development coins on them, feeling stupid, he would not tell anyone ever. He would have

simply said they were 'development coins' which they kinda were and say he 'burned' the keys. No one would admit being that

stupid, even if you were that stupid, especially with the ego of someone to think he/she could make a cryptocurrency to rule the world.

This would stay a secret till his/her grave! I mean really, why tell anyone something like this on development coins? At worst, you could

say you never bothered to keep keys because you were testing the concept and development of BTC not in its final form.

2) So say above happened, Satoshi is feeling low and a bit dumb. So what to do? It is obvious, fire up the laptop and makes some

more Bitcoin and this time secure the keys. So IF this guy was Satoshi and IF the above (1) happened, he/she would have at least

mined some 'early BTC addresses' and accumulated some 'decent' coin and say, I realize I have no real proof that I am Satoshi, but see

I was at 'least' a very, very, very early Bitcoin Adopter. Sh*t he said he lost faith and did not even do that.

3) experts have stated since he has pop'd on the scene that the picture is a computer composite.

There are about 9 more things that don't jive with this and his P.R. plug for $$$ on the site.

It is like everything else, people take shortcuts, no 'real' true evil scammers anymore. It is like they never saw an 'evil genius' cartoon!

At least be up to the level of my expectations of such when I was 5 years old. Alas, no skills!

I expect that too because his story does not really ix up and I think that he is just trying to create a system that would be the biggest scam of the century which I am sure he will never get the chance to make it a success, or another thing I think is that he is just trying to create awareness for himself, at least everyone knows him now, and when he releases a coin, it would not be strange to people, some that would invest would just know that he is popular without thoroughly researching to see what gave him the popularity and anyone that can get the popularity in such a crook way will only ended up being a scammer which people needs to really watch out for and be careful of. Like you rightly said, he will soon end up like Craig Wright very soon too.

[Sanitough]

What I learned in crypto is that you can't prove ownership if you don't have proof.
just like us, no one can prove that we own a certain wallet address if we don't have a private key on it, or if we can't sign it.

Same thing with this guy, claiming he is satoshi but he can't prove.
The market is better off without knowing the real satoshi actually.

[slaman29]

I expect that too because his story does not really ix up and I think that he is just trying to create a system that would be the biggest scam of the century.

Biggest scam of the century? Please. All of these forkers and scammers are so blatant and such drama addicts that none of them have the sass to pull of the biggest scam of this very new century. Trust me. Nobody outside of crypto even knows about them, never heard their name. I even only see their name because the news and threads keep pushing them to me.

Another pretender with nothing to do with the claiming of bitcoin. People keeps pretending things that they thought can benefit them. I would also wanted to read the article but sadly, there isnt any links available. If bitcoin is really valueable to him, he shouldnt make his hard drive lost or has any back ups with him.

You can't go to the battle field without your ammunitions including guns 
As an innovator, you must keep your aiders, gadgets etc in place. Other innovators never talked about forgetting their tools but that they forgot that they have eaten because they were engrossed in their work.

We knew that satoshi is really an intellectual person for creating the blockchain and bitcoin but did you ever think that he/she will lost his/her own creation? I know it's a dumb thing if you lost something valuable and definitely he's not the real satoshi.

If you wanted to reveal yourself, you should have the proof to make people believe you.

[akram143]

His statement might be trust if the million bitcoins from the satoshi's wallet never moved until the bitcoin's existence but still there are other reasons for not using that bitcoin.

I hope if he is the real Satoshi he'll forgive me but I want to say that he is an idiot, this is such a newbie mistake, when he is creating Bitcoin's code, why did he not create a code or a way that you can retrieve your private keys, he knew all along that losing your private keys means losing all the coins, it should be imprinted in his mind when he made that huge blunder.

True, everyone can say they're Satoshi Nakamoto and lost their hard drive that consists a lot of bitcoins. Even the personnel of this forum doesn't recognize him as Satoshi.
People are just making names on the crypto community to start their own platforms, I really doubt that.

Satoshi can reveal himself through this platform.

[1oobtc]

First, I will start off by acknowledging it was a fun read. Just one important piece to the puzzle here. Anyone familiar with my websites/projects 10 years ago I am very simple. I would never toss up anything short of the Mona Lisa. Additionally, I want everyone to please stay calm my 980,000BTC are tucked away securely in between 19,600 addresses which all have their own wallet.dat file located on my google drive. (I would never use the same wallet.dat hence I personally suggested to never delete a wallet.) Oops, I am currently locked out of my gmail account for 7 days because I upgraded my iPhone last week. This is why if you goto the BTC lending area you will see my post asking for a $40 dollar loan. Good news though I keep the private key for the genesis block I mined almost 10 years ago stored in my leather wallet. I can sign a message from it if you'd like me too.
Now hypothetically if this Pakistani individual was me. I would use spell check to ensure my website had no visible errors.  They don't know the all the facts!

Did he claim I did not do much coding?

Code:

<? echo"Today, some people claim they are Satoshi, but they don’t want to move any coin because they don’t know the all the facts.";?>

Sorry to arrive abruptly on 08/31/2019 after about 3,052 days of absence. In addition, I have no plans of a new coin seems counter intuitive to my vision.

Now in all honesty who feels like this is Craig Wrights ploy to take the heat off him? Also, I believe if the real satoshi did reveal himself and truly lost all his bitcoin and some way some how we all confirmed that individual was the real satoshi. I have no doubt in my mind that 1000's of people would send 1000s of bitcoins to satoshi.

P.S. I am not satoshi. So I am allowed to make grammatical errors.

Thanks for the read BCT!

Not really. His forum account was disabled so he no longer has access. To reveal himself he would have to contact theymos and prove to him that he's the real owner. I just don't see him doing that. Ever.

If he ever decides to reveal his identity he will do it through his coins. moving genesis block bitcoins or signing a message would be the best proof. I wouldn't do it if I were him. He doesn't need this fame and I'm sure he was mining in secret and has enough money.

[youmiser]

Well i would say don't believe on anyone they must be lying to get some fame

What you guys think about James? Why he use this type of statement.. Specially his explanation about his hard drive?

Another new name pop up again claiming that they were the real Satoshi... interesting, but why do these people have to do it?
The answer may lie upon on the genesis address of real Satoshi, once that address funds been move or been signed message it is final that he is the real Satoshi.

What you guys think about James? Why he use this type of statement.. Specially his explanation about his hard drive?

Let say everything he says is true, in his own mind at least. The problems are these:

1) If he really did lose the HD with the development coins on them, feeling stupid, he would not tell anyone ever. He would have

simply said they were 'development coins' which they kinda were and say he 'burned' the keys. No one would admit being that

stupid, even if you were that stupid, especially with the ego of someone to think he/she could make a cryptocurrency to rule the world.

This would stay a secret till his/her grave! I mean really, why tell anyone something like this on development coins? At worst, you could

say you never bothered to keep keys because you were testing the concept and development of BTC not in its final form.

2) So say above happened, Satoshi is feeling low and a bit dumb. So what to do? It is obvious, fire up the laptop and makes some

more Bitcoin and this time secure the keys. So IF this guy was Satoshi and IF the above (1) happened, he/she would have at least

mined some 'early BTC addresses' and accumulated some 'decent' coin and say, I realize I have no real proof that I am Satoshi, but see

I was at 'least' a very, very, very early Bitcoin Adopter. Sh*t he said he lost faith and did not even do that.

3) experts have stated since he has pop'd on the scene that the picture is a computer composite.

There are about 9 more things that don't jive with this and his P.R. plug for $$$ on the site.

It is like everything else, people take shortcuts, no 'real' true evil scammers anymore. It is like they never saw an 'evil genius' cartoon!

At least be up to the level of my expectations of such when I was 5 years old. Alas, no skills!

You make some very good points. no. 2 especially. Whole thing could be a script for a movie but reading everything, it looks like they are shilling tabula rasa. Then again he could be satoshi. When you live in certain parts of the world, you know how his story is possible.

[joinfree]

James  Story  is  a story of kiddie  script, I wonder  why everybody  is  claiming to  be a real  Satoshi Nakamoto. If James is real  satoshi why would he  change  his  names but he must  come out with  evidence.  The  one evidence that  can  change  the whole  issues for him login in into  satoshi BTT account  to  make a post for that  one we can  believe  him.

[ene1980]

The  one evidence that  can  change  the whole  issues for him login in into  satoshi BTT account  to  make a post for that  one we can  believe  him.

Why would anyone want the real Satoshi to log into his account here to prove that he is the real owner, Theymos has control over the account and if he logs in and tells that will you believe that the real Satoshi is communicating  .
The forum has undergone many hacks in the past and i am sure the admin has locked his account to prevent any abuse. But for anyone to prove someone is Satoshi all they need to do is to just sign a message from the initial wallet address.

I can say I am the founder of bitcoin. Does this makes any sense? Anyone can make a statement that he or she is satoshi and the creator of bitcoin but you know what a really satoshi would do he would make a comeback in his own style by sending a signed PGP message from hit bitcoin address to prove that he is satoshi otherwise we can't believe anyone at all.

Honestly speaking, everyone can claim that they are the founder of bitcoin, do not be fooled by their statement where its obvious that they are lying. Public statements such as is just their way to make themselves more popular, dont easily belive to anyone claiming to be the founder. You must have a proof before you believe them. Since the creation of bitcoin, no information was leacked saying that they know the real founder, or they have known the founder.

[dr_chen]

I think whoever created Bitcoin is definitely dead. He didn't even move 1 bitcoin out of his wallet. He never touched them when he could make billions of dollars. No one can be that idealist.

[FoysalX]

It's a funny thing. I can comment like this, so I became an inventor of BTC. Earlier, many had made such claims. But later they could not prove themselves.

The privatekeys are somehow within the blockchain. So you don't need a hard drive or another storage. As long as the blockchain exists you have access to the keys.

Same thought and I think it's a shame. Well after that it's all about Bitcoin, but all those so-called "satoshi nakamoto" who wake up when the BTC becomes popular and who have no way of proving it, I don't believe it and will never believe it. It goes against the philosophy of decentralization itself

He's just addition to those who also claiming to be Nakamoto, but reality wise I agree that if you are the real founder you will not lose important information like this as it's the only way to prove yourself. So without any proof  there's nothing that he can do.
it's easy to say that you are someone behind the creation of bitcoin but proving it is tough without any concrete evidence.

[HatakeKakashi]

Still mystery who is the real founder until if a person have proof that he is Satoshi for sure we will know the truth but now the real  Satoshi  is still want his life to be private because he is smart so he did not lost any proof that he is Satoshi not just like what you mentioned I think he is not the real one because he did not give ys any proof. Many people now wants to claim that they are Satoshi .

Actually, that is the best reason why a person can't sign a message because he lost his private key.

I don't believe that James Bilal Caan is the real satoshi but I have no way to prove that he is lying especially when he use the argument of losing his hardrive that contains all the important details.  Unless, theymos knows satoshi personally/really well and tell us that this guy is a fraud.

And about his Hard drive?

The privatekeys are somehow within the blockchain. So you don't need a hard drive or another storage. As long as the blockchain exists you have access to the keys.

It is, but, you need to know it in order to access you wallet address if  you are accessing your wallet on another device.

[dessyhodin97]

lol, more pretenders coming up. bitcoin's creator wouldn't just reveal his/her identity out of the blue after hiding for a long time. don't believe these clout seekers

Maybe Satoshi created the greatest prize competition and the privatekeys are somehow within the blockchain.

Our guess is that he knew that the early mined coins will be moved one day. So he created a 'prize competition'. Otherwise he could move the coins to quantum resistant P2PKH addresses, but he did not and is not doing.

The only question is:

Who will win the race and get the early coins?

Quantum computing or solving the "Satoshi Prize Competition".

Nobody can stop that race.

[Genemind]

It's hard to believe anyone claiming to be the founder of Bitcoin without any proof. Anybody could claim that they're the founder of Bitcoin but saying that a certain person had lost its evidence isn't enough to say that he or she really created it.

Good poin! Money is not the thing he/she/it is interested in. That's why the idea that Satoshi is a machine intelligence is possible.  
Since creation of bitcoin people started to mine them increasing the computation capacity every year!   So, what is the main reason the machine intelligence needs the higher computation capacity?

Many have attempted to claim himself as Satoshi Nakamoto but we can't really say until hard evidence has been presented.

Everyone wants to claim to be the founder of bitcoin but none of them can prove their claim. Satoshi intended to gide his identity and I don't even see any purpose or even any intention of him disclosing his identity since on the first place he left no way to trace him. There had been several personalities who had been claiming to be satoshi and it is ridiculous they all have different excuses or proof that they are satoshi.

Exactly, and why would someone who "created" bitcoin would pitifully say that we should believe him, he can't prove it though because he lost his hard drive, lol, this is beyond being hilarous. I suppose insane people preferred to get the attention of the public rather than making himself invisible if he is truly Satoshi Nakamoto (though it is impossible by the way he act), such smart person would not say "hey I am here, come and get me".

Right. Dave did most of the mining then Craig screwed up and lost access to the private keys after he died.

maybe it's james bilal caan wants to manipulate us crypocurrency users with his statement like that and also maybe he thinks with his statement like that to make himself more famous and invited by ivestor to meet him, but in my opinion we think it doesn't make sense It is hard to lose the hard drive because we ourselves usually can keep our privacy data very safe.

Maybe he just out because he wanted to have his own cryptocurrency to develop again, I doubt if he is the real founder of Bitcoin, he just have some motives why he's pretending to be the founder, or he knows the founder in personally, we don't know the real one. Only God knows the truth who is the real founder, hope someday he will be out and we can know who he is.

[pawanjain]

Well then I can say that I am Satoshi and I own all of his addresses and even his bitcoins but its just that I lost my private keys. 
Just be clear that anybody can pose himself as a well known person but it requires evidence that he is indeed that person.
No proof is equal to speaking lies.

[crossabdd]

nothing strange, because he wanted to gain popularity over the popularity of bitcoin throughout the world. hard drive problem is gone, that's just a stupid excuse. except in being able to prove the cryptography and codes that satoshi arranged to become bitcoin. I think it will make the developers a little trust. his actions only want to influence bitcoin in the international world. but failed.

Why would I believe in his statement when he's just trying to appeal to the public by saying he lost his hard drive? If you're the real Satoshi, you could provide enough evidence to make everyone believe even if you lost something and such. A genius founder but cannot prove that he created bitcoin? That's funny. One reason that I don't believe with all those claims is that they can't catch my interest enough to make believe they're Satoshi.

In this case I just gave him appreciation for writing so many sentences, and at the end chose to remain anonymous like satoshi nakamoto.

Still confused who founder bitcoin so far, many people claim Satoshi is founder of bitcoin and you give other information about founder bitcoin, I think be happy today with founder of bitcoin because they have many bitcoin assets in their wallet and you can show how much money today with bitcoin price stable with $8k, so far many people do not know accurate with the founder of bitcoin between satoshi or founder have you discuss.

We don't know who is the real one, unless he proves himself by selling at least 1 BTC, but, whoever he is we should be thankful for his contribution, he is a real legacy and for sure he will be one of the national Hero someday, I know he will show up himself soon, maybe he's not ready yet for now, or he's preparing for some big revelation, we don't know, let's see.

I think James is just a con man he wants to be famous for easily. so claiming to be satoshi. when james was asked about the digital signature james didn't know either.

They want their name to have exposure for sure. We already know who is the founder of bitcoin and it's a long time ago and that's Satoshi Nakamoto but he didn't show himself on the public the reason why there are many people that are claiming that they are a founder of bitcoin but I don't believe on them. There's no reason the real Satoshi revealing them/his self, Bitcoin will not increase even though we know and met the real Satoshi. We respect the decision Satoshi had and hiding is the way to keep behind that name remain secure.

[giltc148]

He just seek an attention, what the point for someone like satoshi to ruin his own image for claiming this after 10 years without capability to proof himself as a real satoshi

Good speech Fully agree with you.
Still, I can't get one thing. Why didn't the founder just revealed him/herself from a start? Maybe, this person also longs for an attention? Or just like a God observes how we discuss such things and wonder "wtf is going on inside their heads?

[Gotumoot]

Nowadays everyone wanted to claim to be the founder of bitcoin. It's no wonder due to the popularity of bitcoin, many people wanted to get along on its trend. The real founders of bitcoin wanted to stay anonymous even after all these years. It is just another hoax that they wanted to spread.

Those people who say that they are the founder, they just wanted to call out the attention of the bitcoin community.

This puzzle is very strange. If it's for measuring the world's brute forcing capacity, 161-256 are just a waste (RIPEMD160 entropy is filled by 160, and by all of P2PKH Bitcoin). The puzzle creator could improve the puzzle's utility without bringing in any extra funds from outside - just spend 161-256 across to the unsolved portion 51-160, and roughly treble the puzzle's content density.

If on the other hand there's a pattern to find... well... that's awfully open-ended... can we have a hint or two?

I am the creator.

You are quite right, 161-256 are silly.  I honestly just did not think of this.  What is especially embarrassing, is this did not occur to me once, in two years.  By way of excuse, I was not really thinking much about the puzzle at all.

I will make up for two years of stupidity.  I will spend from 161-256 to the unsolved parts, as you suggest.  In addition, I intend to add further funds.  My aim is to boost the density by a factor of 10, from 0.001*length(key) to 0.01*length(key).  Probably in the next few weeks.  At any rate, when I next have an extended period of quiet and calm, to construct the new transaction carefully.

A few words about the puzzle.  There is no pattern.  It is just consecutive keys from a deterministic wallet (masked with leading 000...0001 to set difficulty).  It is simply a crude measuring instrument, of the cracking strength of the community.

Finally, I wish to express appreciation of the efforts of all developers of new cracking tools and technology.  The "large bitcoin collider" is especially innovative and interesting!

Strangely James Bilal Caan claims that he was the founder of bitcoin.. But lost his hard drive.. Is this possible??

What you guys think about James? Why he use this type of statement.. Specially his explanation about his hard drive?

It is easy to pretend that you can be the founder of bitcoin. I can also do a story with anyone and it is depend if they believe on me.

We all know that the founder of bitcoin was satoshi nakamoto. But bitcoin was not the crypto was first ever made. But it was the first crypto that success.

[Sirait]

This is ridiculous, why are we busy discussing fraudsters, I can just say that I am the creator of Bitcoin, but I will not do it because I'm not a cheat

I know that Satoshi Nakamoto is founder of bitcoin.Right?

only Satoshi and not others

Yes, i agree with u opinion, i also can say that neironix is founder this world project under name BITCOIN
In general, it seems to me that it doesn’t matter who is behind this, the main thing now is to keep and develop further.

[uray]

I think he will keep hiding his identity, because there are many reasons for BTC to remain decentralized. and he has become a hero without identity

So hiding your identity will truly bring decentralization  . The reason for hiding his identity is his privacy and you can bring changes without revealing your true identity.

I know that Satoshi Nakamoto is founder of bitcoin.Right?

Yeah i guess so .

It is easy to pretend that you can be the founder of bitcoin. I can also do a story with anyone and it is depend if they believe on me.

There is no one other than CSW claiming to be Satoshi, a Satoshi who is not willing to provide any proof to the general public and no one came forward with solid proof that he is lying rather than responding that he is lying  . We do not need Satoshi as he left the project long back and we have good developers taking care of the project.

We all know that the founder of bitcoin was satoshi nakamoto. But bitcoin was not the crypto was first ever made. But it was the first crypto that success.

Seriously did not understand what you try to explain here.

If you are the founder of Bitcoin, you have developed a world changing digital currency but suddenly lost your hard drive without any back up, for sure you will not be that careless to do that, James Bilan Caan for me is a fake one, he's not the founder of it, he even can't write perfect English just like Satoshi, it's really different.

[barabarian1]

in the past there were also people before James bilal caan claimed to be the inventor of bitcoin. Craig Wright is an Australian who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto. but they have not been proven right. because until now there is no cryptographic evidence that can find out who invented bitcoin. they are two scams who want to seek public attention by exploiting the popularity of bitcoin.

[AGroose]

Personally, in my opinion, I believe that we should not know who Satoshi Nakamoto was. If this becomes known, then broad claims from the states may appear to it.
Now I want to believe that this person has a high nobility so as not to reveal himself.
But to be honest, it seems to me most of all that Satoshi is dead. Because it’s practically unrealistic for a figure of this magnitude to pick up and disappear, it may just explain the complete lack of movement of bitcoins on his wallets.
I think that if he were alive, then at least a little, he would withdraw money to himself.

Not very likely. Someone who is smart enough to create BTC would not just get rid of the hard drive. They would likely store it in a place where no one would ever be able to reach it, and not just carelessly toss it away. Just another faketoshi, imo.

Many people claim they are the only one found bitcoin, I know only with Satoshi is founder or bitcoin and altcoin created by people like Vitalik and justin for Tron coin, but who the founder of bitcoin and altcoin is not important because just take profit with bitcoin and altcoin investing is the most important way for us an investor and trader.

[Digitalbitcoin]

Not only James but many others claimed that they are the founder of Bitcoin, and this is not for now but since Bitcoin launch.

If we consider James or any XYZ person is founder then why not they introduced to the world. Just because they were afraid to introduce, so there might be many reasons for that fear.

Many are arguing that they are founder, but still, I don't understand why these entities/personalities are trying to prove that they are the founder of Bitcoin, I mean to say what they want to prove.

I suppose anyone proves that they are founders, what it makes to the world, and the answer is "Nothing". Because Bitcoin is already decentralized, no one controls its production and even price. So making such agile statements doesn't make any sense.
