Founder of bitcoin???

[josephrioveros123]

I though Satoshi Nakamoto is the founder of bit coin? Then who is this guy? What is his gain on saying that he is the founder of bit coin? Can he earn from that? I think he just want to be famous and gain a lot of followers.

[haidil]

It is not the first time somebody claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto and all of them failed to provide clear proof to convince people that they the real Satoshi. James is another hoax and his alibi is one of the worst even an elementary student use that kind of alibi. His claim has no substance and this means that it is another fail attempt to claim that he is Satoshi.

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

[XEFUZ]

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

[yulionoo]

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. Until now no one knows for sure who Satoshi Nakamoto. who is he? he has created a new breakthrough in our financial system. and provide us with many benefits.

[EdvinZ]

I think that this person just wants fame, with which he can then earn money. If his story is supported by journalists, then he will become popular in certain circles and will be able to expect invitations to some talk shows, appear in advertising, etc. There are probably more than ten Fake creators of Bitcoin, and with each such new “Creator of Bitcoin” the belief that the next one will be a real Satoshi Nakamoto melts.

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]

I'm laughing at it! Another famous bitcoin founder appeared but the hard drive disappeared! Good headlines.

Maybe they say this is because they are a huge fan of Bitcoin and they are going crazy over their obsession with it. Why is it that they claim to be the bitcoin founder? Do they want to be famous?

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.
