I am Satoshi Nakamoto

[hots23]

Satoshi Nakamoto was a name I created back in 2009. I was real young at that time starting college. I wanted to keep myself identity private because I knew ppl wouldn't listen to a young African American male with a vision. Everything that you read in this thread is true whether you decide to believe it or not. I chose to create "Bitcoin" because I wanted to buy things online that I could not afford like Jordans. Niketalk, a popular forum in the black community, was very famous for exclusive Jordans at the time. And I wanted a few pairs from the marketplace but being a college kid I had no money. So I came up with a idea of online currency which eventually became the Bitcoin project. I did some research and I found "Ecash" "Digicash" the original cryptocurrency and I used its coding to create Bitcoin. I was a novice at coding at that time and my only experience with coding was changing my Myspace page so I decided to ask for help. I private messaged a few ppl and a guy named Hal Finney was eager to help me change the software of Digicash. I decided to change the name because I wanted Bitcoin to be original, different from Digicash because Digicash failed to become accepted online cash. "Bit" was inspired by Bitcomet and Bittorrent because I was an active torrent user for downloads. And I changed the name from Bitcash to Bitcoin bcuz the goal was to create peer to peer transactions. At that time I played a lot of online games and their form of in game currency was coins not cash. So that how the Bitcoin name got created. Everything involving Bitcoin was free bcuz I had no money to pay for stuff so we created Bitcoin with time value aka mining. As long as you had a computer you could create a coin and use it to buy stuff online. Bitcoin was in early early stages at that time so it had literally no value. My computer was horrible so I could only do a few coins at a time leaving my computer running. I sent 10 coins to Hal which became the first transaction ever. Remember the coins had no value at the time. Me and Hal talked a lot under private messages so it was only natural that I sent him the first coins I made. After then I knew Bitcoin could be alternative way of buying and selling stuff online just like my video games I play. Then Bitcoin got the attention of Wikileaks. Wikileaks was willing to donate us real money for our Bitcoins. I was 19 years old at this time and I still had the mind of a child. I got scared bcuz I didn't want to Wikileaks to think we scammed them out of real money. Bitcoin had literally NO VALUE so I didn't take their original offer. This was my mistake and I own up to that. I should have let Hal or Gavin make that decision and continue to be the voice of Bitcoin and not the decision maker. Hal and Gavin were my seniors and I had a great respect for them but they were putting me in positions that I honestly wasn't not ready to handle. Then Bitcoin got the attention of Silk Road, a infamous black market website for drugs and illegal stuff. Someone told me that ppl were using Bitcoins to get illegal stuff on Silk Road because Bitcoins were untraceable. Gavin told me that the CIA had contacted him and I really panicked. I didn't want anything to do with Silk Road so I decided to abandon the Bitcoin project. And for that decision I am sorry. Once I made my decision I started to delete everything and before I left I told Gavin that Bitcoin is safe with him. I should have fought for with you guys even though I was only 19. I was starting a new semester in college so I left and I didn't look back. All of my old computers are gone now so I don't even know if there's any bitcoins on them. Nor do I remember my Satoshi login bcuz I deleted everything. If I ever remember my Satoshi login I will come back in this thread and update it but until then its up to you if you believe my story. I guarantee you won't ever hear anything like this about Satoshi. Over the years many ppl even grown men have pretended to be me. I created Bitcoin but I didn't do it alone. I had a team behind me and I wish I would have told them who I really was during that time just incase anything were to happen. I didn't know Hal passed away until a few days ago. I completely left everything behind during that CIA event. And shortly after I began to forget all about Bitcoin. I had college to worry about at that time and my goal was graduating. Five years later I accomplished that goal yes it took me 5 years cuz I was playing around my early years.



Satoshi died 10 years ago when I left the Bitcoin community and deleted all my tracks. I go by hots23 now and thats the first name I chose as my real identity. Don't ask me for Bitcoins or to post my wallet or anything. Number 1 I deleted all my stuff like 10 years ago and number 2 I would only donate Bitcoins to the original group of ppl who helped me along the way under the Bitcoin project.

The story sounds like pieces of different cloth sewn together to pretend to be someone.  Just my thought.  Anyway, good luck with whatever you wanted to portray.

prove you are real not with only words

[RickDeckard]

Don't take my words offensive OP but the story that you've just told doesn't add up very well. The main fact of it all is that if Mr. Satoshi seemingly "vanished" from the forum with no (apparent) trace so far, I believe that he underwent an extreme amount of work hiding his marks off the Internet.

Why would he simply appear one day in this same forum that he created, claiming that he created a new user and even created a thread to tell his story? Something doesn't add up here. I'm sure that whoever and whenever Mr. Satoshi(s?) is/are he/they are safely enjoying their wealth and will be forever in the books of technical history as the person/people that created the first digital currency.

I'm still open to accept that you are indeed who you claim to be, if not by sending some kind of proofs that only Mr. Satoshi would have to the forum administrator or something like that.

You will only be laughed at, even when you don't read your text until you finish. of course it's no use. and you think people will believe? 100% no. come up claiming to be Satoshi. hahaha you are being hunted.

Its not that hard to hide your IP address. Back in the day I would just change my linksys router settings to a new MAC Address and get a new IP. I used this method for various video games and this forum.

This was 10 years ago when bitcoin had no value. I deleted most of my info and my old laptop broke back in like 2011 so any information that was kept was stored on there. I created a new user bcuz guess what I cannot login in to my admin account.

Everyone thinks that "Satoshi" super rich when reality he is an average guy. My story is my proof. You won't find another like it cuz guess what its the truth.

[hots23]

My only goal right now is to get in touch with Gavin Andresen. I wish I would have told him who I was back then.

not your keys, not your coins, not your identity

[hots23]

Satoshi was just a name the ppl behind the scenes made Bitcoin what it is.

They deserve all the credit.

[bL4nkcode]

I chose to create "Bitcoin" because I wanted to buy things online that I could not afford like Jordans. Niketalk

I can't remember satoshi like Jordan shoes tho.

Ye, sounds fine.

This was 10 years ago when bitcoin had no value.

You sure? I bet it's around $1 already.

I created a new user bcuz guess what I cannot login in to my admin account.

Ofc, theymos disabled it if you still don't know.

Fyi, posting pattern of satoshi doesn't look like what you did.

I kept my personal life separate from bitcointalk so you wouldn't have known what I liked or disliked

Good, so you know of this method

Yeah when Hal created the program it had literally no value obv

Thank you for this information I was trying every password I could think of to login to my old account. My writing style or posting pattern is still the same that has not changed

[bryant.coleman]

I compared the first post with the posts made by Satoshi:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=showPosts

There is zero similarity between the language used by the OP and the language used by Satoshi. I don't think that the language usage can change a lot within a ten-year period. I know that this is another scam attempt.. but just wanted to point out some basic differences.

[Pizzalover420]

Satoshi would never write the word "cuz".

Sorry bud, you are a nobody.

Your writing style hasn't change. Why should it change. You are hots23. Satoshi, who is a different person, used to write in fluent english, check the whitepaper^[1]. You're using a BS writing style with annoying abbreviations like "bcuz" and you still think that we'll believe such story? By the way, using bold in the entire sentence, sucks.

My writing style has not changed. On the forums is 100% me, I collaborated with real software engineers during the project. I didn't write the white paper, I was just the voice behind Bitcoin.

The white paper was not written by me. I am the same person and I will always be the same person. This is how I type I am not changing anything. I used bold because it was difficult trying to quote the previous message line by line and still show the reply and response.

[hots23]

This was 12 years ago back in my forum days, I used to go as hotsisal_23 aka hots23 which is just a shorter version. I used to use Niketalk, boxden, afterdawn, emulatorzone, pspiso, ogplanet rumble fighter, gamehackersguild, and obv bitcointalk. I was a heavy into online games during that time. You guys wouldn't know that cuz I kept my personal life off bitcointalk.

This is entertaining in a strange sort of way.

Mr. Satoshi/hots23 you are not the first person to claim to be Satoshi and I'm doubting you will be the last!

I believe the first person was 32751

As being the creator of Bitcoin and this forum I honestly think you time would be best
served on the Bitcoin Technical Support and Development and Technical Discussion boards.

Welcome Back

[RickDeckard]

May I ask why are you doing this? What do you hope to accomplish?

[Evilish]

Hey satoshi csw, mind sending a couple BTC my way out of your stash of one million or so
