Don't Let Anyone Tell You the Identity of Satoshi Nakamoto Does Not Matter

So who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Information on their identity remains unknown. Bitcoin has since evolved without their input, put forth for anyone willing to experiment with the technology. Satoshi’s last call was to deemphasize his unknown identity.
When Satoshi had the basic foundation of the bitcoin client built, he transitioned the responsibilities to a group of early enthusiasts and withdrew back into the shadowy depths of anonymity. Nothing tangible has been heard since, although they’re widely regarded to still be alive and keeping a pulse on bitcoin developments.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are
full nodes
like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if
every
miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Satoshi Nakamoto
set in motion the unraveling of the nation state
You sound like the kind of person who denounces the state as a legitimate authority.
So why then, do you then continually equate 'identity' with only
government-approved
identity?

not to want an identity attached to the source code.

Satoshi's identity
is
known - it's Satoshi Nakamoto, inventor of bitcoin, author of the bitcoin whitepaper, etc.
The inventor of bitcoin isn't anonymous - we know who created it. Satoshi Nakamoto did. We just don't happen to know the government-approved name this person has on some stamped piece of paper that his parents got from the state.

I don't equate identity exclusively with
government-approved
social security numbers, birth certificates, etc.
I believe we should always have the option to go back to our original state, that of the identification with
man and nothing more

The system is open source, the identity of the author is henceforth unimportant.

As written in the article:
"Satoshi claimed to reside in Japan, although searches and inquiries into his true identity turn up few results. Facts that were uncovered seem to be contradictory and purposefully led followers on a false trail. In his early days working on the project, Satoshi was known for a business-like demeanor and very seldom revealed details about himself, instead dedicating himself feverishly to the bitcoin project."
For me this is enough, but a lot of people are curious.

I dunno. I think the real Satoshi is probably incredibly pragmatic. He'd probably get a major kick out of reading these posts because they seem so extreme in characterizing him as their "god" or messiah or even martyr or whatever.

Do you have a proof for your "judgments"? Or is it only your personal opinion?

It is. People is obsessed with egos and attaching faces to projects. Since open source was invented we don't need all this ego shit. It only leads to fights and having "a leader" is the worst thing that can happen specially to a currency.

No not sure he has proof because Satoshi "'might"' be Gavin or Andreas
I would go with personal opinion imo
I think Satoshi 'might' even be a lady who pretended to be a man, master of misdirection and you will never find him/her.
OP, Satoshi felt his identity was not important so i think we should go with the flow and just love his baby like our own he may well show his face one day

I notice that you use their word "their". So do you really mean to imply that satoshi is not an individual rather than a group of people?

Exactly this.
And besides, Satoshi's
idea
is important, not his identity.

In this ego and image related society, it looks like people always want a visible face to worship. Go to NK you freaks! ideas is all that matter, not the person behind it.

Sure, if you want him to get killed, it is important.

It's not important. I think bitcoin is better off with him remaining unknown, and clearly he wants it to be this way.

More likely imprisoned than killed, but the press would likely hassle him to death.

The account is permanently locked to stop people from trying. You'd need to prove you were satoshi to theymos to get it back.

It would still be interesting to know the password.
Bitcointalk stores probably just hashes of passwords so it is not possible to know the passwords from them.

There's this thing called
singular they
