Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

[songchunlai]

I’m Satoshi Nakamoto. I need help now. If you like me, just give me some money in this account:3CuvqzbuYbYGPAGAhaeFZaZeKZcThmqraK.

haha.. It's really funny. Sometimes Satoshi Nakamoto is a human or It is't..

Wow what a pleasant surprise I'm happy to meet with you sir. The Satoshi I know is very rich, how comes you need help and you said now. This should be an emergency but what surprises me is that your need for help came after we want to know who you are.

If that's even his name. Just read the bitcoin wiki on him and I'm amazed. Nobody knows him.

It's not just admiration for what Satoshi Nakamoto has done. But thanks to his ideas and creativity, we were able to recognize bitcoin as the best investment right now.

Also, it seems has knowledge in many areas, especially economy. He doesn't act like the average human. Not taking advantage out of his creation, leaving without telling anything. Is he even a single person or a group?

In a formulation of the concept, be it the economic system or development, it can be said that he is an intelligent person. If not, it is impossible for bitcoin to be able to reach the peak as it is now, we can be sure he is a person who is able to see opportunities in the future.

How can someone create something so great and not stepping out to get the credit?

And I'm sure he's got that, it's just that we didn't specifically give it away. People will be remembered based on the contributions that have been made, given the many benefits that people get in bitcoin.

Elon musk shared a tweet recently, it was funny. He was writing the name Satoshi Nagatomo with the initials of a few companies such as Samsung, Toshiba. Nonsense yes, but it was funny.

Hello! I am reviving this post, since I think I shouldn't create a new one (too many already).

Let's notice something together, shall we? I have to say though, we will only speculate for entertainment, so if you don't want to bother with Satoshi's identity, that's totally fine. We are never going to find him/her/them anyway.

Check out this mailing list: https://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg10142.html

That's Satoshi's original email concerning Bitcoin. Notice the two spaces after each full stop.

Code:

If you can keep a node running that accepts incoming connections,
you'll really be helping the network a lot.  Port 8333 on your
firewall needs to be open to receive incoming connections. The software is still alpha and experimental.  There's no guarantee
the system's state won't have to be restarted at some point if it
becomes necessary, although I've done everything I can to build in
extensibility and versioning.

I am sure everyone in this forum has already heard of this "legend" about the two spaces. In fact, many people claim Adam Back is Satoshi only because he also uses two spaces after each full stop in his sentences. Plus, the fact that Adam Back is profficiently using C++, just like Satoshi.

Anyway, then, Hal Finney replies. Notice how he uses both two spaces and one space... Why ? that's curious:

For instance:

Code:

Congratulations to Satoshi on this first alpha release.  I am looking forward to trying it out.

But also:

Code:

It's interesting that the system can be configured to only allow a certain maximum number of coins ever to be generated. I guess the idea is that the amount of work needed to generate a new coin will become more difficult as time goes on.

Then, Johnathan Thornburg uses 2 spaces also:

Code:

If each machine in a botnet sends 1 cent to a herder, that can add up to a significant amount of money.  In other words, Bitcoin would make botnet herding and the assorted malware industry even more
profitable than it already is.

Finally, this guy Dan joins the converation and he uses two spaces too. Like:

Code:

Daniel Suarez's _Daemon_; trust me as to its relevance.  Try
this for a non-fiction taste:

What are we (or am I) missing here?
a. Could they be using a typing software that automatically adds two spaces after each full stop ?
b. Could this be a sign that they all belong to the same team that invented bitcoin ? I doubt it, since I can't be the one to point that out. I am too silly.

Two spaces is not strong evidence.

It indicates that Satoshi probably trained on a physical type-writer prior to digital processing, where double-spacing was common. But we could already guess that Satoshi isn't young any more. https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/two-spaces-after-period/

I personally think that his double-spaces means that he resided in the American West, where double spaces held on culturally for longer than in other parts of the world, and which matches several of his other behaviors.

I think this is a group of people who are hiding behind the creation of Dogecoin and Shibainu

I'd argue it wouldn't necessarily even mean that.  I habitually use two spaces after each sentence and PCs were relatively common in my youth.  Moreso than typewriters in any case.  I've certainly never used a typewriter for anything other than screwing around for the sheer novelty of it.

It may imply, as happened with me, that their English teacher may have been of an age where they were taught to type in that fashion and that's simply the habit they passed on to all their pupils.  Never underestimate the power of indoctrination.

Maybe the Freemasons had their fingers in it?

I agree with both of you! If "It indicates that Satoshi probably trained on a physical type-writer prior to digital processing" is true, then how come all of the people in the mailing list used 2 spaces ?

[SAHASAN]

Whoever he is, I think he is a great man or someone great
Intelligent community.

And it is good for the world not to know his or her identity.
In fact Satoshi Nakamoto or the original Bitcoin founder will never reveal his identity.

Although some people and large number of Bitcoin owners want to identify or reveal themselves as Satoshi Nakamoto which is completely false and in my opinion this is a trap to find the real Satoshi.

I don't think that will ever be possible!!!!
 

[Kuntus]

In my opinion as we all know Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonymous person or group of people who created Bitcoin and authored its white paper. The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains unknown, and it has been a subject of much speculation and curiosity in the cryptocurrency community. The name is widely believed to be a pseudonym, and the individual or group behind it has chosen to remain anonymous. And I think it is going to remain this way for as long as.

No one knows because Satoshi Nakamoto is an anonymous Contributor as Bitcoin chose to remain anonymous, only that what he has attempted is another way to build a decentralized money and fund system without a central unit. No one knows @Vampobit.

You need money and you are Satoshi Nakamoto?
This is a funny excuse because Satoshi is rich enough to feed everyone in this community so I don't understand why you claimed to be him and still begging for funds. This is unusual and I think you need to use another approach that is different from this to ask for support rather than claiming to be who you are not. This is one of the funniest joke but I understand when you aspire to be Satoshi.

[Ravichnadra]

Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, and their true identity remains unknown. Despite speculation, no one has definitively proven to be Nakamoto, making it one of the most significant mysteries in the cryptocurrency world.
