Will we ever know Satoshi's next project?

[blatchcorn]

He/she/they said they moved on from Bitcoin to work on other projects.

Will there be an announcement somewhere saying "Glad you like Bitcoin, let me know your thoughts on this side project I have been working on"?

[jamescameron2312]

Satoshi is a big target now.. I don't think he will ever work under Satoshi again. He will release other projects, but not under Satoshi or anything that can risk his identity.

[KIRAZ]

I don't think they will announce it under the same name nor they gona announce it here but we'll see.

[Shad3dOne]

maybe...

[bornil267645]

Or maybe, he's already started something...

[Rub3n]

Maybe OP is Satoshi and just wants to poll?

I have said this before and I will say it again.  Satoshi is an inventor, a creator, and person who just has to think, understand and fiddle.  

He most certainly is still involved in the Bitcoin scene under a different name, or he has moved on to a new project and is working on it.

What I can say with a good amount of certainty is he just didn't take up watching TV and go to a normal day job.

I think we will not know satoshi because if that happens hey may be afraid of the bad people who wants to get his bitcoins
so we won't know his projects

No, Never, He/She/They will never publicly announce it that they were the ones to start Bitcoin and they're starting something new. They will do it under different names and most probably they have already launched new projects.

I think he signed an NDA with the big G and was given a golden parachute. He doesn't have the keys to the mining wallet. E.S. (ykwim) saved his life and he's here just like one of us now and grateful to be alive to see his baby grow.

[kaykawa]

But, he can change the "bitcoin" core, right?

maybe (idk) new features... or "upgrades".

is possible?

[sifter]

I think that satoshi most likely forgot about bitcoin and moved on, he is probably working under another alias.

[EternalWingsofGod]

Hes watching Bitcoin but i'm sure hes either working on the next paradigm shift
Or satisfied with how things are going for now and doing other things.

That's what Gavin actually said, but no one listens. He said Satoshi did not disappear. Gavin said Satoshi's personality was not good about being around too many people and the start up/management would be too much for him, so he stepped back out of view and let Gavin run lead. Gavin said Satoshi was not gone from bitcoin, he just had got bitcoin to the point where he didn't need to be there day to day coding like he had been. We have all just assumed he had disappeared off the face of the earth and never listened to what Gavin said actually happened.

The video is kind of funny because as Gavin is explaining what really happened with Satoshi, there is a guy(Legendary Member) in full conspiracy mode talking right over what Gavins trying to tell us. This may be the point Gavin and Satoshi decided to let the stories run wild, because this video shows the conspiracy theories are more fascinating than the truth that Gavin was trying to tell us.

Note: I'm sure he's probably been working on something like smart contracts since that is the beginning of the completion of a Kola Ring for Bitcoin.

[LiteCoinGuy]

i thought he made ripple?

[jacktheking]

Well, I do hope that Satoshi Nakamoto will give us hint or.. but, it is almost impossible. No one know his real identity and.. I doubt 'it' next big project will be released under Satoshi Nakamoto name.

[Billbags]

i thought he made ripple?

No, that was Fred Sanford.

[gtraah]

Do you really think Satoshi doesn't go on the internet anymore, doesn't check out his baby anymore? I guarantee you Satoshi is still here, although he uses another alias, I am afraid the only thing that has disappeared is his Alias "Satoshi"

His around, his watching, his working, his commenting, his doing what you and I do, browse the forums, comment, possibly coding who knows. His around

I think you hit that right in the bullseye.

Satoshi's next project was Cryptonote, because Bitcoin's radical economic transparency needed to be complemented with an option for compete financial privacy.
