Blockchain.info was founded on 2009 january too ? there is a big chance that it's Satoshi then. since bitcoin wasen't really popular on it first month ?  Undecided
but how he got that amount of money , only by mining ? because it's not like bitcoin is hackable or something , not even for the bitcoin creator  Shocked

Wow. It's strange how he never spent any of his coins :/ If it was me I would have been giving them away to new comers in the first couple of months to get more people on board..

I can not image someone sitting on that amount of money, If it were me, I probably already sold it. But again, this is one the reasons why bitcoin is better than any other alt coins.

Back then people could give you thousands of bitcoins for fun. I guess satoshi was a little busy to do giveaways...

I do not think, he ever envisioned BTC to become this strong anyways.

They used several different addresses to shift coins as part of the testing of the functioning of the protocol and I even doubt that they kept record of the private keys.

Those will be lost forever in my opinion.  Angry

Newcomers didn't need giveaways, anyway, just a CPU. Core (before it was Core) used to have a "generate BTC" option. Nobody was really thinking about setting up mining farms to take the ~7200BTC/day (worth ~$0.0000).

Nobody knows for sure. "Satoshi" disappeared around the time now-Lead Gavin gave a presentation for the CIA (or FBI - I don't remember, anymore) a few years ago. Whether or not that's a coincidence is unknown. He may be alive or dead. He may be named Nick, Dorian, Ralph, or Tariiq, among millions of other letter combinations, though it's suspected he was White, distant second possibility being Asian - but he wrote in UK English, so we can probably rule out American origins (unless he was just that damn sneaky!).

If he came back, it's unlikely he'd be fully believed to be the original "Satoshi," even if coins moved or "he" signed using his last known PGP key. If coins moved today, I'd guess the majority would assume Satoshi's identity and keys have been fully compromised and a giant pile of coins are about to be dumped, which has some interesting possibilities (does an exchange have the right to block coins from being sold if they suspect the seller of "Satoshi's coins" is not the original "Satoshi"?).

As far as I got the story, Satoshi is just not that of a people person(might even have some mental illness like many geniuses), so he couldn't handle too much publicity. When he saw, that he wasn't needed anymore, it was time for him to complete step down, I wouldn't even say, he terminated the entity Satoshi completely. I doubt, that he will ever come back.

(does an exchange have the right to block coins from being sold if they suspect the seller of "Satoshi's coins" is not the original "Satoshi"?).

They wouldn't be able to (wouldn't care). Likewise with stolen coins, exchanges could (if there was the will behind the motive) block stolen coins from their exchange but then again we encounter the problem of tainted coins.

People assume satoshi is sitting on nearly 900K to 1000K bitcoins, but this simply isn't true.

He wasn't the only person that was mining in the early days, so there must be more people sitting on atleast 100K bitcoins that still have not touched their coins yet.

If the coins were mine I would definitely cashout a good bit of coins at the peak. Perhaps the guys can't access, or don't want to access their coins.

The thing I like most about bitcoin is you get to just look at millions worth of something any time you want and dream haha their is a strange closeness about it Smiley I think satoshi probably does have some mental illness like autism or something, that's the kind of vibe I get anyway, bitcoin is just too perfect and that's how autistic people are. Very unsocial but genius when they put their minds to it Smiley

+1

for instance, hal Finney

When Satoshi announced the first release of the software, I grabbed it right away. I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run bitcoin. I mined block 70-something, and I was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test. I carried on an email conversation with Satoshi over the next few days, mostly me reporting bugs and him fixing them.

After a few days, bitcoin was running pretty stably, so I left it running. Those were the days when difficulty was 1, and you could find blocks with a CPU, not even a GPU. I mined several blocks over the next days. But I turned it off because it made my computer run hot, and the fan noise bothered me. In retrospect, I wish I had kept it up longer, but on the other hand I was extraordinarily lucky to be there at the beginning. It's one of those glass half full half empty things.
