Some questions about Mr. Satoshi.

[MacAndSwiss]

Apparently his last post on bitcointalk was in 2011 or so, does anyone know where he went (in terms of the Internet, is he still developing bitcoin or has he left the scene)?

[ikydesu]

I don't know.
But last time I heard, he's doing another project but I don't know what the project is.

Actually December 12, 2010 (depending on your time zone).

does anyone know where he went (in terms of the Internet, is he still developing bitcoin or has he left the scene)?

Nobody even knows who he is.  He disappeared and hasn't been heard from in over 4 years.

He might still be active on the internet and might even still be participating in Bitcoin without anyone knowing who he really is.

Personally, my guess is that he's dead.

He left on December 13, 2010, 04:45:41 PM
He didn't say any goodbyes or anything , he simply left the forum , you can see his last posts here on his profile => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

No one know what he is doing , he is probably dead or probably alive , he may be group of persons or group of companies or a single independant person or even NSA but I still can't put the idea that he trust theymos without knowing him IRL , I guess theymos or other admins here know his real idendity but won't reveal it of course .

No one knows OP, this question has been boggling everyone's mind. My guess is he is still on the forum lurking probably under a new name.

[okae]

well i hope he/she/them didnt left the scene, from  my point of view he bring to us a pretty nice idea, the BTC and im sure great guys will have great ideas throughout his life, i really think he just has been hidden like most of us have done if was the case...

Personally, my guess is that he's dead.

nooo, thats not true because he come from an alien race who cant died

[avatar_kiyoshi]

I'm sure he is still alive and lurk in this forum with another accounts yes accounts!

If he is smart he lives now on a little island in the middle of the pacific ocean surrounded by beautiful women and a pina colada in his left hand.

Well i also sadly have to belive he is dead, but maybe he is one of the holders as he knows it WILL get way bigger.

Well he did post a one-liner when they were looking for Dorian Nakamoto and I think at some other instance as well. But yeah, those could be fake, nothing's safe in a centralized world, man.

[DannyHamilton]

I'm confident that was fake.  If Satoshi really wanted to prove that it was himself making that post to that other forum, he would have signed the post with his private key.  He is very aware of the need to prove who he is and how to do so.

and I think at some other instance as well.

I'm not aware of any other public instance. If he's alive, it's possible that he might have continued communicating with Gavin, Theymos, and others privately.

Yeah, that's an interesting thought I also had a couple of times before - do you think he may still be in contact with the "old" people or the core developers? Maybe he gives them hints on what to improve, but doesn't want to foster the cult-following...

[DannyHamilton]

Do I think that?

No.

I already said:

I doubt it.  The current developers are a talented group of programmers. They decide for themselves what they want to work on.  I doubt many of them would care much what Satoshi thinks should be done.

He is on the forums for 100% but just hidden under another name .
Theymos know him for 200% also , I don't think see how he would try random guy on the internet to lead one of the biggest forums on the world if he don't know him In real life & don't trust him .

Well , his account on Peer to Peer foundation got hacked as far as I know and here is a post where the hacker says that he doxed him => http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source?commentId=2003008%3AComment%3A55276
"Dear Satoshi. Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet. Apparently you didn't configure Tor properly and your IP leaked when you used your email account sometime in 2010. You are not safe. You need to get out of where you are as soon as possible before these people harm you. Thank you for inventing Bitcoin."
So we can't be for sure if he was the one who posted "I'am not dorian Nakamoto" on the first place or not him .

say, isn't there a chance that dorian or someone he hired actually hacked that account to clear dorian's name?

maybe he got greedy and decided to ask theymos to give him some money. 

yeah, I just don't like dorian

[elliwilli]

we know nothing about him. his opsec was incredible and immaculate.
Either dead or sitting back watching his invention and sat on his wallet waiting to do something with it.

[MacAndSwiss]

I hope that he is still alive, but I guess nobody will know the other account(s) he uses.
