Satoshi Disappear Day

[kiba]

Since satoshi has been confirmed to be not coming back, the bitcoin community now have to fend for ourselves.

I propose we make a bitcoin holiday in honor of our legendary anonymous founder and to observe the fact that the bitcoin community will be just fine after the inventor of bitcoin left.


Even if Gavin is hit by the bus tomorrow, we can live.

Gavin and TD said on IRC that satoshi is not coming back.

[slush]

Well, I'm almost sure he only changed his identity and he is still around, watching what happen and discussing major issues with Gavin. He started great project which started to be self-sufficient and now he can be satisfied by looking on us, incognito .

[kiba]

I hope he will change the world again in a few years.

[RodeoX]

+1 for Satoshi changing his identity. He is still here. I can feel it as a disturbance in the force.

[no to the gold cult]

The mystique of Satoshi thing is good for the bitcoin, within 12 months we'll see the question growing in the media "Who is Satoshi?"

I can picture a silhouette with a question-mark where the face should be on the cover of TIME magazine.

Hes been working on bitcoin for years now.  Once you've been working on a project for that long you get tired.  I highly doubt he he active.  He still responds to emails with questions about his original design but he doesn't mess with the code or make suggestions/comments anymore. 

[Insti]

He's probably gone off to work on something even MORE awesome!

[bitcoinBull]

He's probably gone off to work on something even MORE awesome!

I'm not buying it.  If there's something more awesome than bitcoin on the horizon, the world isn't yet ready for it (cypherpunks were waiting on bitcoin for a decade).

Are there any equally exciting potential and practical applications of crypto in the near term (which excludes anything quantum)?  Maybe something to do with fully homomorphic crypto?

If you enter "find chuck norris" in google, you end up here:

http://www.nochucknorris.com/

There should be a site called www.satoshicannotbefound.com, so when you google "Find Satoshi" you get the result:

Satoshi cannot be found.

[Raoul Duke]

They are already trying to find him.

He is even more genius than I thought if he purposefully selected the name Satoshi because of the 2007 "find Satoshi" noise..!

That '07 thing is probably some timetraveler enemy from the future's failed attempt at preventing Bitcoin from existing

Let return to the bitcoin holiday question:

Do you think we should celebrate a special occasion for the disappearance of satoshi from our world?

[BitterTea]

Let return to the bitcoin holiday question:

Do you think we should celebrate a special occasion for the disappearance of satoshi from our world?

Yes. We can start some traditions meant to bring Satoshi back, and create prophecies regarding his reappearance.

Some ideas for traditions...

Burning fiat currency
Sending encrypted messages

Lol.

[mewantsbitcoins]

Do you think we should celebrate a special occasion for the disappearance of satoshi from our world?

  That's totally irrational.
The man created best thing since sliced bread, devoted a lot of time to it and you are proposing to celebrate his disappearance as a special occasion?

That's the same as christians wearing crosses around their necks - makes no sense. Do you think Jesus is gonna want to see a cross when he comes back?(Bill Hicks' wisdom)

[TiagoTiago]

Do we have a birthday date for Satoshi? Even if later we find out it is incorrect, celebrating his birth at least once a year would be nice...

Perhaps a good tradition for the celebration would be to give gifts bought with Bitcoin what do you think?

[mewantsbitcoins]

I don't think we do, but if we wanna celebrate something the first release date could be a good date

[da2ce7]

The mystique of Satoshi thing is good for the bitcoin, within 12 months we'll see the question growing in the media "Who is Satoshi?"

Who is John Galt?

[marcus_of_augustus]

we could just celebrate bitcoin on the anniversary of the genesis block

.... in honour of satoshi and reminder not to fall for the banksters slimy lies again


I propose

January 3rd to be Genesis Block Celebration Day

Though I still think there should be a Satoshi Disappearance Day as well. After all, that was the day the project was proven to be self-sustaining. Satoshi planted the seed and watered it. Day by day it grew into a tree, so to speak, and no longer needed watering.

[TiagoTiago]

So it's not the disappearance itself we'll celebrate, but the fact that even though it happened things  keep going well?

If that's really Satoshi, then who's the guy riding him?

I wonder which of us he was.

Satoshi stopped posting on December 13, 2010, 04:45:41 PM

I think Satoshi created a new Account. The creator of something is Compelled to see it's progress. Satoshi Made a new account to watch his project without interrupting.

If you're not going to "interrupt", why create an account? You can browse the forum without an account.

i dont think that its a big problem

Not a disturbance in the force, the force.

Satoshi is like yoda, a little green wizard lol

Satoshi will for sure go to heaven for these great contribution.I believe anonymously he is watching over every activity going on around here.

Good necropost

Plus if he want to change his identity here, why would he creates new account after stop posting with satoshi? He can create new account at any time. This makes no sense.

Good guess, but it was Newsweek within 36 months.

[zhaochong]

Reply this post years later is interesting.
What the scene will be when Satoshi come back to us?

[Nerazzura]

p2pfoundation.ning.com. It is the site where the Bitcoin was first introduced by Satoshi.
Nakamoto said to have handed over the reins of the development of the source code to Gavin Andresen. At the same time, he also handed domain management Bitcoin.org and some other domains to the Bitcoin community. After that Nakamoto as lost in the earth.

Nakamoto was said to have had one million Bitcoin. In December 2013 the last, the value of the equivalent of US $ 1 billion.

[Alty]

Always good to read these old threads and see how people were right.

Everyone is indeed still "finding Satoshi".

[CryptoRaver]

Leave that man rest in peace

[LiteCoinGuy]

Well, I'm almost sure he only changed his identity and he is still around, watching what happen and discussing major issues with Gavin. He started great project which started to be self-sufficient and now he can be satisfied by looking on us, incognito .

yeah, i dont think that he left the btc space. little bastard

Well slush makes an interesting point: Do you think some of the people involved in Bitcoin for a very very long time and active as a core developer still have contact to Satoshi? Maybe they just keep contact and talk about casual things... I think Satoshi didn't want to influence Bitcoin anymore!

[Kipsy89]

I wish Satoshi was still around. I wonder what kinds of revolutionary ideas he could still have that keep improving Bitcoin, to make it better. It's sad he didn't leave a goodbye-message or something. He just left...

[--Encrypted--]

I'm fairly certain that satoshi is always watching from afar. either that, or he's uhhh.. six feet under

satoshi = oldfag

what's this Anonymous guest post? a remnant from the old days?

[wadili89]

ofcource he is here reading this comment rite now , he isnt going anywhere he just hide his identity to be safe from any kind of attacks etc maybe

[bornil267645]

I think Satoshi is one of the talented person, who is the inventor of virtual coin. I hope in future he will come again with even better than bitcoin.

[Q7]

I still put hope that one day he/she will be back. There are still so many things that can done to improve bitcoin and I'm sure if satoshi were ever around,  a lot of things would have been better. No 1 is the moral boost

[bitcoin_bagholder]

So what's the official day?

Almost four years later and it hasn't been implemented.

[Lethn]

Considering all the people asking this question are obviously noobs, think about it, if you discovered a highly advanced piece of alien technology that could dramatically change the standard of living for the whole planet what would you do? I'm talking on the level of technology that would involve long distance space flight and electricity generation.

If Satoshi came forward he would have everyone from news journalists to the government to the fucking mafia coming after him, this is exactly the way to introduce such a technology and cryptocurrencies are in fact something brand new. Now that everything has spread out and most programmers know exactly how it's all put together and anyone can make it themselves there is no benefit from trying to monopolise this technology since everyone knows how to make it anyway. This means there is a lot less risk posed to him now and even if they did find the guy it wouldn't amount to anything since everything he knew was posted online for all to see.

That's the kind of level you have to think of this on.

[Hexadecibel]

Satoshi isn't coming back y'all.

Are you joking? Satoshi might be back. Imagine, there is a person that already admit he was Satoshi Nakamoto. Craig who is presenting that he made the whitepaper of bitcoin is the person behind this, they said. But for me, it is still unknown until someone can destroy and rebuild bitcoin again.

I agree, maybe he just don’t want public attention like most people do, he wanted his privacy more that anything else that is why he is not coming out but I believe he is just looking, observing what is happening with bitcoin. Also I guess it doesn’t really matter if he will go on public because bitcoin has been doing great for many years now without him around and if incase he will come out I don’t believe it will have an affect on the price either.

Totally agreed about that, There is no need for Satoshi Nakamoto to be known who is he in real life we just need to be thankful to him that he introduced us to a revolutionary system that is already changing the world, kudos to the legendary Satoshi Nakamoto.

And now its been 8 years and still not implemented lol. And the one who started the thread also disappeared too, no more holiday now lol.

He's a human being or they are a human being in case they are a group of people, he might change his mind and do the unthinkable by coming back to us, so let's not have that  Satoshi Disappear Day, his legacy is on us and doing great, he is still with us.

Just one of the many ideas that failed to make a good traction. We already have the Pizza Day celebrated everywhere but I don't think there is any good interest for another we should celebrate. But what about a Satoshi Day instead...a day where we remember and celebrate the life of a man who brought to us bitcoin and the blockchain technology? Rather than ponder on why he left...maybe we should celebrate on the things that he left as a gift.
