People who knows Satoshi Nakamoto ?

[Billbags]

Yes, but this is an useless curiosity. Discovering who is Satoshi will improve the science? Will stop the death of children in Africa? Will stop wars? Will develop the economy?

It will involve you in researching true uncensored history........

"He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past."

That quote is not just from an X-Man movie.....

Its from a dystopian novel Titled "1984" by George Orwell published in 1949.

The statement is saying that history is written by the victors. Basically, we are taught by powers of the present how to view the past, and our views of the past affect how we endeavor to build the future.

It is the victor who writes the history books, controls the press, frames your point of view and offers things to you that you do not need or want.

So with the "who the f@#k cares" attitude we give the victor of the present total control of all messages from the past which will influence the people to build the future of the victors desire..... instead of one with freedom, equality and safety that we all deserve and could strive to achieve through unaltered history and knowledge.

The Concept of Bitcoin:

The Internet and Bitcoin were created to allow people to solve social problems in a novel way: Instead of the ancient formula of “the strongest wins and then beats the crap out of the loser” we all can achieve a peaceful society where both rich and poor, strong and weak can protect their property and freedom on more equal grounds without relying on violent institutions like governments.


Note: Satoshi intentionally left a lot of information hidden for us to find, you just have to take the opportunity to assess the structure and think with an open mind.

*One of the first places where Satoshi Nakamoto mentioned bitcoin was at the P2PFoundation.ning.com.

When you register there, you have to give your birthdate.

Satoshi gave April 5th 1975.

April 5th was one of the most significant dates in history. On that day in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, which made it illegal for American citizens to own gold.

So what happened in 1975?

1975 was the year it became legal for American citizens to own gold again.

1. Those that do know him are valiant in their efforts to protect his identity for a reason. Either they are promised a portion of his stash if they do not reveal his identity, or more likely the revelation of who he is can destroy Bitcoin itself.

2. He is most likely alive or I think his coins would be spent. Don't be mistaken he has the Private keys and if he dies someone else will have them.

3. He wanted to change the world. His plans are huge, he is part of that plan and will be back.

I Disagree on the first point , there is always one betrayer out there ... so I don't think he promissed them anything .. he probably knew them very well which made trust 100% between them
Still ... Looking to see more names from other people .

Here's a question(s) for you: When was the earliest that folks started inquiring about his identity, and how did Satoshi address said questions if at all? Further, why did Satoshi feel it prudent to be anonymous when all he did was approval upon previous work, enough so that his efforts gained traction, albeit not immediately?

[LiteCoinGuy]

[Coinna]

I don't knows. But do we look for people who personally know or have known Linus Trovalds, in internet forums ? A networking cocktail may be a more appropriate place to look for such folks, isn't it ?

[Madness]

Hi,
First of all , this is an open discussion thread and I hope theymos or anyone else won't take this personally :p just trying to know what the community thinks about this.
So who are the people who do you think they know Satoshi Nakamoto face to face or only via Internet (like know him before the whole  Bitcoin project for years) .
If I  had to choose , then I would say  Sirius (As you can see he is a very very early adopter looking at his profile ID) and the same thing goes for  Theymos , I personally can't handle the fact that someone like Satoshi will give full access to domains & Administrations for just couple of random people that he knows on his forums .

What do you guys think ? or people that you think they know satoshi ..

~ Madness

Sirius hasn't been online since October 2014. I wonder what happened.

Pretty sure nothing happened to him , he is the one controlling the Bitcoin.org website as far as I know , beside looking at his last posts and at his signature , seems like he is working on a new project => http://identifi.org/ , It's sort of a Peer to peer Identify system or something , and the project is open source see the Github here : https://github.com/identifi/identifi

1. Hal Finney

2. Gavin Andersen/Bell

is it even confirmed that they knew him irl?
even pictures of him?

I dont think so, it was only a nickname.

No, I dont think Hal and Gavin ever saw satoshi's face.

[fenghush]

I really don't understand this Satoshi Nakamoto fetishism, what difference does it make who he is?

[sandykho47bt]

These people knows Satoshi Nakamoto :
1. God
2. Himself
3. His Family
4. His Friends

But, to find & ask them is pretty difficult

[Gladdy]

For those Sherlock Hohmes who want to find Satoshi N,  the bitcoin founding Father, just look around at the Charities around the world and if you found a donor that give 100 BTC or more  in one shot, it is most likely Satoshi himself.   Now go find him and come back to forum with his picture and share with us.

I think in the rise and rise of bitcoin, gavin said he has no idea who satoshi is. given his facial expression and behaviour I am pretty sure he was lying.

We just covered this VERY thoroughly in another thread....I think it covers everything with links to all facts.

This 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 that 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 let us know.

We need moar topics about Satoshi!!11 Every day! Every hour!
Who knows Satoshi?
Who saw Satoshi?

[AtheistAKASaneBrain]

Satoshi is like the architect in the matrix. He is inside a room with tons of monitors only accessible through being the one.

[slaveforanunnak1]

Satoshi is Nick szabo and company and Vitalik has "spoken with him in person"

[thejaytiesto]

Everyone here is talking and imagining things. They dont know what the hell they are talking about. "oh i saw satoshi this or that". All lies. Satoshi is anonymous as hell IMO.

[redsn0w]

...and what do you think if karpeles is Satoshi ? Would it be a bad/shock news for you?
