New Documentary "Finding Satoshi" Claims Finney & Sassaman as Bitcoin Co-Creator

[yixichloro2xx]

I can agree that Satoshi Nakamoto had co-Creators but he was the brain behind the invention of bitcoin. Let's assume that Finney and Sassaman were Bitcoin co-creators but they are not alive anymore which means that even if they would have revealed who Satoshi Nakamoto is, it's not possible anymore therefore he will remain a mystery. And if his co-Creators are dead, what are the chances that Satoshi is still alive? the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto died when he said he has moved on to other things so there is no amount of research that can reveal his identity.

I also think it could be Len sassaman, because Satoshi disappeared during the period that sassaman died. It might be coincidence though, but that's is the best theory since there's no solid proof linking them together. To me it's a good thing that he kept his identity if not the world governments would have look for every possible way to pressure, control, influence, or even silence him in order to gain some level of control over Bitcoin itself. To me I don't think we will ever know his true identity, because his disappearances is what is making Bitcoin to be stronger and decentralized. What still surprises me is about his wallet being untouched.

There has never been proof that satoshi owned anything more than a smaller amount of coin.

There is no proof that Satoshi owns 1 million bitcoin, but there's pretty solid evidence that one entity (which was named "Patoshi") mined around 1 million bitcoin in the early days. It's a case to be made whether this entity is Satoshi (there's some link there), but the entity that owned (or owned) those coins did exist.

That is an important distinction to make, because the most common cited misinformation about this topic that surfaces is that Satoshi owns 1 million Bitcoin when there is no proof of any of that. It could have been some partner, it could have been a system that was dumping keys soon after mining and all sorts of possibilities exist in relation to the "Patoshi" theory. We can speculate, but what we can not speculate on is that there is no proof that Satoshi mined 1M Bitcoin -- which there isn't. Therefore, let's try to be clear on this in every thread where it comes and try to dispel misinformation that many users here are sharing and on other places. There is no need to place a target on the back of Miss Satoshi, especially not if she really does not have the Bitcoin.  

I also think it could be Len sassaman, because Satoshi disappeared during the period that sassaman died. It might be coincidence though, but that's is the best theory since there's no solid proof linking them together. To me it's a good thing that he kept his identity if not the world governments would have look for every possible way to pressure, control, influence, or even silence him in order to gain some level of control over Bitcoin itself.

How about you read some posts here before you write some generic shitpost? It is more likely that my pet snake is satoshi than fucking useless Len Sassaman. Stop playing favorites using nonsense reasoning.

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.

Do some basic research first next time, and stop spreading misinformation by hiding behind the "opinion" bullshit.

If it is about death, the best candidate is Hal Finney and theymos considers Hal Finney as a most likely Satoshi Nakamoto. While Jameson Lopp did not think so, you can read his article on this issue.
Hal Finney was not Satoshi Nakamoto.

If you want to prove that Jameson Lopp was wrong, please give information to convince me about that.

About Sassaman, hopefully after him, people will not try to find other died people as next possible "Satoshi Nakamoto" candidates. Many people have died and many of them had backgrounds in IT and cryptography.
