Did Satoshi ever use a profile picture on bitcointalk?

[NomadTheSavior]

I was looking at Satoshi's profile and noticed that it had no picture, did he ever use a profile picture on his bitcointalk account? Did he have one previously and delete it? Although I guess he might have never had one because I think bitcointalk might have added profile pictures as a feature years after the site went live, or maybe that's gif profile pictures I'm thinking of and not regular images. Sorry if it's a dumb question but it's just something that just came to mind.

I don't think he did, most of the post interaction that he's got are mostly from the old forum from sourceforge, basically meant that he didn't have much interaction in this forum and I doubt a profile picture is ever going to be a thing for Satoshi, that might give some way for Internet sleuths to know who's the person behind the enigma, I mean there's not really any profile picture feature here in the forum, maybe the avatar but I don't think it's going to occur to him, even his email interactions have the default profile pictures.

There is no option to use profile pic in this forum. You can use avatar as picture. But no one uses their own picture as avatar. You can enter the email used in his profile, the email profile can have his picture.

this forum is mainly for communicating and does not really require anyone to show their faces this is not a social media platform like facebook or instagram where people share about their lives

besides all of us go under nicknames in order to hide our real identities holding bitcoin or anything important digitally can be a threat to our lives if our identities were shown everywhere

Sorry didn't mean a profile picture like his actual face, I was talking about the avatars that some users have. If he didn't have any avatar on bitcointalk maybe he had one on another forum or site that he used.

 I don't think he had an avatar in the one year he lasted on the forum and if you ask me, I feel that will be the last thing to be on his mind as he took his privacy very seriously. Again, he may have had a display pic or an avatar but we would have seen such from the countless users who have posted one or two things about the founder of Bitcoin. Also, maybe if there isn't, like I mentioned about him being private and all, probably it was done to avoid being tracked? Just saying.

I don't think this is a dumb question. You ask to learn and with three or more replies you would have gotten your answer. I'd have been surprised if Satoshi had had any profile picture considering that he is a symbol of the word anonymous. What I think is that in the cyberpunks groups where they had earlier hanged out and exchanged ideas, he/they would have had a picture but soon took it down before anyone could trace anything back to him. It is just a guess though so I could be wrong.

Well first of all OP I will say you didn't ask a dumb question, after all we all are here to learn and discover more about bitcoin and it owner, so back your question I will said satoshi didn't add a profile picture on his account, cause from the little research I made about this post I didn't see any important information about this so I gist he did not.

Bitcointalk allows users include newbie members to upload and wear avatars before policy change to no longer allow newbie members to wear avatar, after a hack.

It can be in early years, earlier than 2011 before newbie restriction on avatar.
Newbie restrictions

Accepting default Bitcoin avatars in 2012.
Avatars re-enabled but only Full members can wear avatars in 2015.

If satoshi account has ever worn an avatar and not taken it off by himself, the avatar will still be on his account because of glitch as you can see with old newbies with avatars.

This is the earliest snapshot of his profile (that I can find): https://web.archive.org/web/20100716225740/bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=3
Dated July 16, 2010, Old Bitcoin Forum under "bitcoin.org" before it migrated to Bitcointalk.org.

He has no avatar, and no it's not the archive since other members' avatars are showing just fine.
e.g.: https://web.archive.org/web/20100729162427/http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=151.0
(for some reason, it's being renamed to "bitcointalk" if I use [url] tags, so just copy paste the url)
