Satoshi Identity Revealed LOL

[Zlantann]

Cryptocurrency user probably should avoid giving their money to HBO from now. There are ways to watch shows produced by HBO without giving them any money. Although i wonder how would critics and average viewers rate this show, when HBO promote this show to "reveal" Satoshi's identity.

Although the director of the documentary, Cullen Hoback, was behind the QAnon Conspiracy Theory during the 2016 US election, nothing new will come out of this one. There are speculations that Len Sassaman and since he has committed suicide the clause of signing message from Satoshi's address will be skipped. This is not the first attempt to unravel Satoshi's identity, and it won't be the last. I wouldn't spend a cent watching this documentary because it will cause more confusion than giving any valid proof. Good luck HBO.

Saw a tweet a while ago and it says:

JUST IN: New HBO documentary claims to have uncovered the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of #Bitcoin.

Damn betting my btc asset its just a hearsay and possible viewers increase since crypto is going mainstream. Maybe HBO should invite some users here like theymos and others who might give them more clue instead.

Edit: Didnt watch the clip yet, but already seen some comments like pouring in. The video will be aired on October 8th, 2024 2am CET ( 9pm EST)

Thanks for the link will provably watch this, but I'm thinking if its really possible for me them to unveil the real identity of Satoshi? My first impression regarding on this matter is they are using the Satoshi Identity Revealed to clickbait viewers.

Since they know that many people using bitcoin is curious to know the identity of Satoshi.

But let see what they can show if they really have solid proof that can really point out the real identity of satoshi. Since this will really so great and we don't know the after effect if there's someone could reveal the real identity of bitcoin creator.

Although the director of this documentary is Cullen Hoback who unraveled the QAnon Conspiracy Theory during the 2016 US election, nothing substantial will come out of this one. There are speculations that Len Sassaman will be named Satoshi and since he has committed suicide the clause of signing the private keys associated with Satoshi’s addresses will be skipped. This is not the first attempt to unveil Satoshi's identity; it won't be the last. I won't spend a cent watching this documentary because it will cause more confusion than showing valid proof. Goodluck HBO.

If that is the case, then the best course of action would be to skip it, I agree, however, maybe HBO will get a wild card that would be at least interesting or good to laugh at, who knows

[DooMAD]

If media vultures are happy to endanger lives by broadcasting wild theories about the identity of satoshi, just to boost their ratings, it speaks poorly to their character.  It's reckless and could put someone in harm's way.

I'd urge people not to watch.

And the search to unmasked the creator of Bitcoin continues... Well they are never going to unmask whoever it is unless the person or group of persons wants to be unmasked. It is a futile search. In another case this is another revenue generation stream for HBO. It is a hot trending topic that most people will be interested in.

I was amused when I saw this thread, wasn't surprised at all because I know that it'll be another of the countless threads that talks about unraveling the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. I believe that if for any reason that the real Satoshi Nakamoto, will want to reveal his identity, it won't be in a dramatic way like having a series for it. People like to follow stories that unravels mysteries so I believe that the documentary will aim at arousing people's curiosity, but in the end Satoshi, will still remain anonymous. I thank Satoshi, for his genius invention of Bitcoin and I hope that he/she /them still remains anonymous to protect the freedom and privacy that comes with holding Bitcoin.

Satoshi ~ Samsung, Toshiba, Nakamichi & Motorola.

Riddle on top. Cheers :-)

PS. Many new machines on Ix.

I saw the trailer and HBO didn't mean to focus on Satoshi but they just wanted to gain viewers under the pretext of Satoshi because we know that bitcoin users and its large community must be a little curious and subscribe to their channel. The point is, on October 8th we will see if Hoback 3 year research has paid off or not, he also traced his tracks on this forum and from the film clip shows Satoshi profile. There are several candidates who fall into that category and he also interviewed people who have been contacted by Satoshi in the past. Also I am sure they will not find a final point and the film will still end with a question mark back to the beginning. No one can reveal who Satoshi is.

'Satoshi Nakamoto' (the REAL inventor)
[...]
I will post more information.  BTC

cant we have a little hint now pleeeeeze. maybe "sounds like.." or "bigger than a breadbox" or something

dont leave us hanging

[dkbit98]

Here we go with another round of Faketoshi circus, this time false propaganda is spread by HBO (Hyrax Films Production, HyperObject Industries, Hello Pictures) and directed by Cullen Hoback.
This could be just a another clickbait from them, but they are promising to finally reveal the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
History of Cullen Hoback showed me all I need to know, but this could be another attack on bitcoin.
I can't wait to see that crap and have some laughs.

Mystery creator of Bitcoin identified, new HBO documentary claims

I don't think they can do any damage or endanger anyone in one documentary if the mystery about Satoshi has survived for 15 years. As much as some people don't like it, we can't stop anyone from doing research, just like we can't stop anyone from using the word Bitcoin for any purpose.

I'd urge people not to watch.

If someone has a subscription to that streaming service, why would they refrain from watching it - on the other hand, I wouldn't become a subscriber just for that reason. It is likely that the documentary will appear on various illegal IPTV services sooner or later.

As far as I understand, this documentary will provide further evidence that the inventor of Bitcoin, known to the world under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, was Len Sassaman. This is a fairly plausible hypothesis.

Len Sassaman was indeed a very talented cryptographer. He is also known to have been a cypherpunk and a strong advocate of anonymity and privacy on the Internet. He committed suicide at the age of 31, 2 months after Satoshi Nakamoto published his last message (on the Bitcointalk forum).

Len Sassaman's personal computer was securely encrypted, and to this day no one has access to its contents (which explains the fact that the coins mined by Satoshi Nakamoto have not moved).

I will watch this documentary with interest.

[Outhue]

This is bullshit. I don't wanna get hyped with this. It's obvious HBO tries to push their documentary with their click-bait title. It is their marketing strategy.

Its HBO, I am not surprised, they are probably going to print a lot of money from this that's why they do it, if money isn't coming out of this they won't give it a try in the first place, so expect some stupid fake news with zero proof that someone is the real Satoshi.

The real Satoshi Nakamoto might not be the only one who is a smart cryptographer like you wrote, maybe Len Sassaman is also as smart as Nakamoto? Still there is no single proof that shows that he is Nakamoto, forget the part that Len died two months later after Nakamoto posted his last message.

HBO is obviously going to print cash out of lies if truly this is all they've got.

That story then does not match what can be read by some people like Gavin Andersen and other developers who claim that the last private communication with Satoshi was April 26, 2011. After Satoshi published the last message on this forum, he allegedly continued to communicate with several people exclusively privately.

If we take their claims as credible, then Len can't possibly be Satoshi - nor can Hal, who was unequivocally established to have been in public places (races) at the time when Satoshi communicated with other developers.

The alleged final break between Satoshi and his collaborators would come on April 26, 2011.

According to records from Andresen, Satoshi sent him an email that day in which he asked him to downplay the idea he was a “mysterious shadowy figure,” at the time adopting a short and reproachful tone to the project’s new “technical lead.”**

"The press just turns that into a pirate currency angle. Maybe instead make it about the open source project and give more credit to your contributors; it helps motivate them,” Satoshi wrote.

HBO really tryna do anything for money, ey?

As much as I don't want to support what they are doing, I am just as much interested in what kind of speculations they'll spout that hasn't already been said LOL 

It's funny though that I even say this since just last year, I was also crazy about trying to find our boy Sats Nako's real identity and only came across crazy unhinged people claiming they know who he/they are lol.
Anyways, looking forward to the Bitcoin's equivalent to a YouTube Rewind LOL

[348Judah]

They can be trusted by anything related to their tv series and others, but when it comes to revealing who Satoshi is, i don't think it's something that can be accomplished like that except they're acting for such role as well during any of their shows, Satoshi identity is what we should erase our minds from seeing come through, not again, we should instead be more focused on what bitcoin has to offer us and the entire people.

[theymos]

Are all of the interviews in the trailer original? I got the feeling that several of them were interviews I saw many years ago, though I could be wrong.

My current feeling on Satoshi's identity is:
 - Sassaman is a very bad candidate. If this is their conclusion, then they totally failed to do proper research.
 - 50% chance it's someone nobody's ever heard of, and nobody will ever figure it out
 - 35% chance it's Hal Finney. (Over time, I've moved more probability into this category.)
 - 10% chance it's someone else in the Bitcoin-verse
 - 5% chance it's a group within the CIA

But I'm really not a fan of the whole "search for Satoshi" genre. Being anonymous, Satoshi is an excellent myth and source of inspiration, since we can't see much of his flawed humanity. Mythical-Satoshi is a humble man who, with a lot of persistence and skill, but not with a level of brilliance beyond the reach of us mortals, single-handedly created a clockwork device so powerful that it shook the world. And then, in an action which nobody in the traditional halls of power would ever take, he had the wisdom to walk away: a modern Cincinnatus. I like that myth very much, and I'd rather it not be tainted by association with an actual human.

@theymos, did someone try to reach out to you

No, I only heard about the documentary when I read the headline on CoinDesk today.

[I_Anime]

I came across this in a media days back , I didn't even care to put more attention to it because to me seems like a way for them to drag some irrelevant attention to themselves. All I know is that Satoshi is an anonymous hero , and being anonymous make things way more exciting.

Some of the comment in that post is kinda of shitty to me , alot folks are just saying some shitty stuff on the comments section. But well let's see how things goes though, concerning Satoshi identity Revealing and stuff .

[cryptoaddictchie]

Not sure though but since its a documentary they might clip some old videos that could be helpful with their "show".

No, I only heard about the documentary when I read the headline on CoinDesk today.

Too bad. It must be  Just in any case they opted and contacted you, would you cooperate in giving slight clue or details that could drive to decipher possible identity of Satoshi? Or for all time sake, bury this chance to grave for Satoshi's sake.

Im sure many here dont believe what they are trying to reveal on that documentary later on, but still some will watch to see potential lead to Satoshi. Honestly, theres a part of me wanting to know who really Satoshi cause his really great.

If ever I had one wish that is on the top of the line, to meet or knew the guy started all of great things on crypto industry.

[coin-investor]

I think HBO just want to increase their subscribers so they come out with this kind of documentary, The clip did not offer anything, so I'm sure all they're going to do is speculate on who and what Satoshi Nakamoto really is because if someone on HBO knows who or what Satoshi Nakamoto is, there's going to be a leak first, then the documentary.
I don't like documentaries because it feeds our curiosity to ask for more so they can have another sequel or another documentary, I'm sure this documentary is what they believe in on who is rather than pointing with fact who Satoshi Nakamoto is or are.
I think I'll wait for the spoiler instead of subscribing to HBO, I like Netflix better.

[happycamper69]

Probably a bait to get more viewers and free press from everybody talking about this now.
