Satoshi Nakamoto doesn't want to be found; stop searching.

[oktana]

While going through some bitcoin related news, I came across some news about Satoshi Nakamoto and his choice of words when writing. The thing is, everyone is eager and wants to know who he/she really is but have we ever considered if he wants to be found? Based on the news, articles, and documents I've been seeing, I don't think that he/she wants to be found.

The report found that from the very start Satoshi’s spelling was “inconsistent.” For example, the author notes how the Bitcoin inventor’s white paper has the British spelling “favour.” However, at the end of the paper Satoshi used the American-English term “characterized,” as opposed to writing the British spelling “characterised.”

Satoshi chose to use the word “optimization” and the same day he wrote “optimisation.

Lol... Just imagine.

How else can one interprete that Satoshi doesn't want to be found? In the same paper, he spelt "favour" (as a British), and at the end, he spelt "characterized" as an american word. Besides, I haven't seen any sort of clue that shows that Satoshi wants to be found. So, let's just let his/her will be done, and stop querying. Maybe we can find a way to know him/her, but, I don't think he/she wants such.

New people starting to own Bitcoin or just researching about the history of Bitcoin may become curious about Satoshi Nakamoto, I experienced it before, I read multiple articles about Satoshi Nakamoto that talks about some suspected person that might be the Satoshi Nakamoto.

But for now, it's not important who Satoshi Nakamoto is. Let's just be thankful for what he/she invented, which will help to fix our financial system. Satoshi Nakamoto intended don't want to be found at the beginning.

Is it a news anymore?? It's a well known fact that Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto doesn't want to reveal his identity at all! Otherwise, don't you think that he would have come out to light by this time?

Also regarding the debate of British English and American English, it is very easy for a person of his IQ level to divert attention from the global bitcoin community to somewhere else where he will never be found.

I think if we respect him for creating bitcoin, we should immediately stop searching for him!

He could be busy using auto correct on his PC t help correct spellings and ended up using anyone he liked then, spellings detecting and findings do not actually prove his nationality to be a Brit or an American. I have always suspected him to be an Asian who lived all his life in America. I can still be wrong though. His true identity doesn't matter that much again except for reasons where the governments want him jailed for exposing the loopholes in their money management economy, if that is not the case then let us respect him for hiding his identity and maintaining anonymity.

It's pretty obvious by now that Satoshi can't be found or doesn't want to be found. There are a lot of evidences, but shallow, whether he is British or the latest, that Satoshi is a female, Lol. He is that intelligent that his footprints like the spelling he used can't be identified, including his writing style.

So yeah, in the last ten years, there's no definitive answers and it someone step up to claim that he is Satoshi, we should take it with a bag of salt.

Everyone knows Satoshi Nakamoto doesn't want his personal identity to be known in general. Until now, Satoshi Nakamoto is a mystery and the mystery hasn't been solved until now.

[Debonaire217]

Up until now, no one knows who Satoshi really was, he might be an individual, a group of developers, or anything we might not think about. But satoshi already did his part. IMO, there's no reason for us to keep searching for him or even think about how much Bitcoin he has right now because he really deserves it. He can do what he wants and the Bitcoin network will not need him anymore as the Bitcoin will be powered by us who will really dictates what the future of Bitcoin could be.

IMO, we can just think of Satoshi as ourselves, the future of Bitcoin relies upon us on how we will utilize it. In short, stop searching for Satoshi. We might just put ourselves in danger as there could be many people claiming they are Satoshi just for fame and personal interest.

He's keeping his identity in private and that needs respect. It is given that we're all curious about him but it seems like he wants a private life and we should all accept that. He should've shown up in the beginning if he really wants to be exposed. He has his own reason and whatever it is, I'm sure that it's for his own safety.

It’s a never-ending struggle for some of the people to uncover the truth behind Satoshi’s identity. They wouldn’t find anything, really, but it seems that they are having the time of their lives by doing so—or getting paid by some news agency to spin-off an article or two in order to gain some views. At this point, Satoshi’s identity doesn’t mean much to the rest of the world, except of course if he/she decides to use those coins and dump it. The network and community as a whole have already made a distinction in the world’s economy. We are all grateful of what Satoshi devised, and as a form of gratitude, perhaps its best to respect Satoshi’s privacy as his/her need/want/wish.

Satoshi Nakamoto, or the person who used this pseudonym, did the right thing to hide his authorship. This is how Bitcoin can remain completely decentralized. I hope that this is what he was guided by, hiding his identity until now.
Therefore, of course, you need to stop trying to find Satoshi Nakamoto. And there is practically no chance of installing it without his desire.

Amen!!!

Lol... Auto correct and he gave a British and American spelling in the same article. It wasn't just one occurrence, it was more than 2wice. Auto correct should not be confused. It should suggest either British or American (depending on who built it). I really believe that this act was done intentionally by Satoshi.

Due to curiosity then it no surprise that people will really be finding the founder or creator on what we are engaging on this very moment which is Bitcoin.

People wont stop to investigate and finding out the truth and already a decade we do still failed to find him and if had really that intent on showing himself in the public then
he had already done it earlier but we know on what would be the risk on doing that.

Searching? This would be a never ending search because people cant just stop to find this man.

[Oceat]

How long does this topic been around? If ever someone finds Satoshi I'm sure those were his colleagues only that knew his whereabouts and it is already clear that Satoshi doesn't want to be found because we didn't hear anything from him/them. If ever Satoshi wanted to show up he must have have done it a long time ago. But the fact that we don't even know if ever he's still alive or dead plus he just stopped posting from this forum. So that means he doesn't really wanted to be found.

[Obi theo]

I agree with you, if truly satoshi wanted to be found honestly I think he would has even gone far as too update his profile picture on bitcointalk, but he choosed not to
 I think we should focus on this works and ways of improving it .

Satoshi Nakamoto is the most enigmatic man that I could describe with great respect.
He has created the asset that could be the most desired of the 21st century. Around his person is a mystery and at the same time admirable for all the sequel he has left his magical invention.
I agree that he did not want to reveal his identity and he vanished into thin air.
Nobody has been able to find the clue of him and it is the best.
I am pleased with this forum because if we want to revive his ideas and emotions we must follow his profile and move back in time and enjoy.

i think that curiosity will not die especially for those new crypto users. and for the new gen to come, they will always search for the creator. but in time, they will also give up and just accept the fact that Satoshi created something good for the community. there's no need to find an individual who wants to hide his identity. maybe in the future, someone will uncover his works just like what archaeologists are uncovering the history of human life.

Well, I also have an idea about asking about them but not actually finding them. It refers to the early users of this forum as I found a way to see the early members although I don't think they will be telling me anything about it. I told it to some members but they told me that they may be early here but they don't have any communication to Satoshi but just through this forum or some other means but not meeting him directly.

This isn't really a reason. Not everyone is concerned about updating profile pictures on forums so quickly. Besides, You need to rank up to be able to upload profile picture, and no one can tell his rank as at then.

Actually, there are people who know Satoshi from this forum but they've definitely never met in person or seen each others pictures. The truth is, Satoshi must had plan his anonymity before he even began anything.

I do not have problem with the new people getting introduced to bitcoin and becoming curious about satoshi but what irks me is that there will be that someone that will be obsessed with searching for who satoshi really is. satoshi does not want to be found and if satoshi wanted to, satoshi should have done it a long time ago, that should have been a tacit agreement that satoshi does not want his/her identity be disclosed, please respect that.
