People claiming themself satoshi

[Little Mouse]

There are some people who have claimed themselves as satoshi nakamoto. Craig is one of them. I'm sure all of them are fraud. Just trying to get into the focus, they are nothing but attention seeker. Anyway, can someone give me a complete list of people who have claimed them as satoshi nakamoto?

[Ararbermas]

Definitely a fraud. There's a bunch actually wherein even way back 2017 and all of them can't prove what they're claiming about. Lol  infact some got arrested and if i remember it correctly it happened in public place.   its funny to think to be honest but probably they all wants to obtain attention around the internet..

Please read this article which may be able to provide some insights about the entire story of Satoshi Nakamoto,

There are couple of people who have claimed the throne of Satoshi but Craig wright is the only prominent fraud who had taken it to the court.

You need to understand that there is an unclaimed fortune worth 54 billion usd is lying in the internet. So it's no wonder that people are trying to get their hands on that.

Nick Szabo
Craig Steven Wright
Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto

These three are more into discussion for the innovation. Among them Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto have denied that he is not Satoshi. One who keeps on claiming himself as Satoshi is Craig Steven Wright.

Craig Steven Wright doesn't have any strong evidence to put forth and prove himself as Satoshi. He is called as fraud for his activities by most popular cryptocurrency enthusiasts/developers like Vitalik Buterin.

Nick Szabo haven't claimed himself as Satoshi. During the days of 2008 he was much into smart contracts development. He also brought in Bit Gold and worked for digicash to bring crypto on digital payments. Based on his historical note he's also among the list who are doubted as Satoshi.

It also shows all the whitepaper copyright applications .
Hope this helps

Lots of people have said "We are Satoshi" for some reason that is probably reasonable, what I do think is ok, responsible or reasonable is trying to claim satoshi for evil reasons.   The intention/reason alone can disqualify or qualify the satoshi wannabes.  I guess if you try to achieve what the true satoshi wants and succeed, people could call you satoshi rather than you calling yourself satoshi.

The list is full with many faketoshis but Craig Wright is on top of them who still is running legal cases and all that stuff which is useless and have no point and all btc maximalist knows he can't be the genius behind the bitcoin creation.

A 48 year old person from Germany claimed that he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto. His name is Jorg Molt and known as a German entrepreneur. He started “Satoshi School,” to mislead people.

He was running some scam investment plans and people were fool enough to beleive him as why would the original creator of bitcoin Satoshi ask people to invest in his pension funds when he have 1 million coins stored in different addresses?

[/Quote] In the whole investigation, it is found that he collected a total of 1.8 million euros for his Investment platform named  ” Bitcoin Pension”. [/Quote]

Some other have been mentioned already by the members but we don't need to focus more on them as many will claim this but the reality is we all are satoshi and we don't need to unlock this mystery which is better.Many will be added to the list and Craig Wright will end up badly and will regret creating this whole scene against him.

There are some people who have claimed themselves as satoshi nakamoto.

There are people who claim various things, but without convincing evidence, they are all empty words and nothing more. I do not understand that some older members of the forum are also obsessed with what Faketoshi claims, although it is clear to everyone that he has never been able to prove anything. He and anyone else can try to prove for the rest of their miserable lives that they are something they are not, and the best thing in the whole story is that Bitcoin will outlive them, and on the tombstone (figuratively speaking) will be the inscription "Here lies Faketoshi".

I do not surprise by that news because with the popularity of bitcoin now, many people want to be the founder of bitcoin but they can not identify if they are the real Satoshi Nakamoto. They do not have access to Satoshi's wallet and they will say that the private keys were lost a long time ago and try to convince the public that they are telling the truth. I do not think much about people who claimed them as Satoshi Nakamoto because they are not the real Satoshi Nakamoto as long as they can not access the wallet. But well, we will see many more will claim themselves as Satoshi

Lucius, I know that mate. They all are fraud and have shared nothing to verify their claiming. But I need the list for something else. Newbies are getting on wrong tracking regarding who is the real satoshi nakamoto. Craig is getting some supporters too. That's why I want to create an article in local language and introduce the fraud as fraud and why these guys claiming to be satoshi are fraud. That's why I'm looking for the list.

Well, This is his claim, and also few media supports him (Without any verification). No one knows who is original Satoshi Nakamoto is. As You said on Other Thread, Even the original Satoshi Nakamoto could not verify that he is original if he doesn't have a few things access anymore. I think his email satoshin@gmx.com and BitcoinTalk account is one of them.

can someone give me a complete list of people who have claimed them as Satoshi Nakamoto?

Surprisingly, they Listed 9 People Who might be Satoshi Nakamoto and the last one is missing. That might be Original One.
Whenever I think of Satoshi Nakamoto, I saw Dorian Nakamoto as the real One. IDK Why?

[Obito]

They're more than just attention seekers, they want the influence and power of being the one to be named Satoshi, besides the prestige there's also the money involved, I mean look at what CSW did with the lawsuit, that's a lot of money to be given to him so more than the attention, the prestige, influence and riches are the biggest motivators for these pretenders.

My take is since from the beginning of Bitcoins creation, the owner Satoshi Nakamoto never revealed his/herself to the public, and years down the line, we are having different individuals coming out to claim that they are Satoshi, of cause this is pure fraud. I do however believe that if the real satoshi does intend to reveal who he/she really is, they will come with undeniable proof.

Exactly! We don't need impersonators here that can't give solid proof of being Satoshi.
I believe, we just need to accept the fact that if in case Satoshi is still living, he prefers this way.
This is the mystery of bitcoin and I believe it will stay that way for long time.
Anyone can claim he is satoshi but we need convincing proofs before they can truly claim he is.

People can now buy everything related to cryptocurrency. Moreover, they often do not even understand what they are buying. This is much worse.

[Sanitough]

@naim027, I think none in the list is in the real Satoshi.

He would not show in public, that would make him safe because he is one of the richest people in the world already with his btc holding. Knowing Satoshi will not anymore make people interested as they like the way it is now, satoshi is anonymous and that mystery will continue to stay the same until bitcoin finally gains massive adoption.

One thing I noticed, those who claimed they are satoshi are getting bashed in the community, so why would try to claimed if he does not even have a valid proof?

[TheNineClub]

I'd be super suspicious if some came out as Satoshi because it wouldn't really make sense. Why now? Why at all? I doubt we will ever know who is/are Satoshi, and maybe that's a good thing. We do not need a new idol to worship and his presence would actually make things worse for crypto. So I wouldn't buy into the rumors of who is and who isn't.

[Lucius]

Craig is getting some supporters too.

Of course, it has the support of various Bitcoin haters, as well as those who switched to the dark side just because of the profits they made through their altshitcoins forks. Back in 2016 one of Satoshi Nakamoto’s closest collaborators wrote the following :

Soon after Mr Wright went public, Gavin Andresen, chief scientist at the Bitcoin Foundation, published a blog backing his claim.
"I believe Craig Steven Wright is the person who invented Bitcoin,"

If such an intelligent man (supposedly) can utter such nonsense, then it is quite clear that ordinary people doubt whether there is truth in it or not. Anyone who has read the posts from Satoshi could very easily conclude what kind of man he is and that Faketoshi is the complete opposite of everything that Satoshi Nakamoto represented.

We do not need a new idol to worship and his presence would actually make things worse for crypto.

That's right, there's a reason for everything, but people don't want to accept it. The reason why Bitcoin has succeeded is precisely in the fact that there is not one person who pulls all the strings - this was also clear to Satoshi when he announced that he was handing over Bitcoin to others and would be dealing with some other things.

[masulum]

It doesn't matter how many people claim to be the creators of Bitcoin, because a "creator" who doesn't want to be identified will always be hard to find. Satoshi wouldn't reveal himself like Craig did. Satoshi does not work alone, Bitcoin proponents at the start of the project may ask for various rations of money on the grounds that they are entitled to it. If Craig doesn't comply, then he's not a satoshi, and neither is anyone else claiming he's Satoshi.

Let them fight to claim a satoshi, the important thing is that we should always warn people if he claims to be "contacted by Satoshi", he 100% isn't Satoshi, So believe me, that those who claim Satoshi, are 100% not satosi, but scammers. unless accompanied by an email that has been used by Satoshi in the past.
