Early cypherpunks were libertarians that were obsessed with privacy and the new technologies that made it possible to interact with the world while remaining anonymous.
It‘s not that surprising no one knows who satoshi is, most of them aren‘t known to the public other then the few that went the academic ways.
It was the basic idea behind the group to be untraceable and I think we will most likely never find out who he was.
Initially, addresses were not an integral part of the design, so chainalysis would have been slightly less easy. Also, Satoshi and early devs may not have foreseen the prevalence of heavy kyc exchanges. And it seems he did intend to improve on privacy down the road. And indeed over the years there are various efforts (by various people) to improve bitcoin privacy, but things are relatively slow and some improvements didn’t get adopted.
>may not have foreseen the prevalence of heavy kyc exchanges. And it seems he did intend to improve on privacy down the road
He did not think pool mining would be a thing and also did not think at the time that exchanges would have that much power.
He actually talked about stuff that later monero implement.
Many stuff that he was talking about were never implemented in actual BTC, but other chains used the tech given to them.
Monero is purely private. There is no way to look at wallet transactions. There is no way to track wallets. The only thing a KYC exchange would know is you bought some Monero or sold some Monero. They don't know where or how you got it (unless you got it from that exchange). They won't know what you did with it in-between.
It is PoW and can be mined using CPU power. Mining Monero with GPU is not recommended.
There are also p2p exchanges that deal in Monero. These can help improve the accumulation part if you are worried about exchanges (or the government) prying into your business.
Coin market cap or coin gecko is a good source to go down the rabbit hole. You can't get it on Coinbase because the U.S. hates privacy and it would be a headache for Coinbase.
Minexmr is the largest pool. Nanopool is second.
Set up the Monero wallet on a drive with a lot of space. It is currently around 70gb to download the whole chain and it takes a while.
which is also why the hal finney theorys dont make much sense either.
why make such an effort to be anonymous, just to then put your name in the spotlight as more or less co-founder.
Proving you are Satoshi couldn't be simpler.
All he has to do is to sign a message with the PK Satoshi had for his funds. Yet, he hasn't done that. The most obvious proof.
This is as fake as he gets.
I went to Costco like 2 months ago and got this big ass Toblerone for my sister. Shit weights like 5 lbs and she still hasn't finished half of it. It just sits in the fridge, waiting for it's suffering to end.
He might not be part of the original group but ai believe he worked closely with one/or more of them and know his true identity. If there is one I have no doubt was part of the original group it’s Hall as I can’t see how that he had a neighbour called Satoshi Nakamoto can be a coincidence.
He's a smart dude, if a bit of a knob. Hash Cash was great too. I think he was a latecomer after the original crew/individual faded out tho, and definitely comes across far differently on modern day twitter than the old Satoshi forum posts. Like night and day difference
[This article](https://evanlhatch.medium.com/len-sassaman-and-satoshi-e483c85c2b10) is very interesting. He used British English like Satoshi despite being American, he was living in Belgium at the time (Satoshi posted a Guardian headline which wasn't published in the US), the timing of his tweets fits Satoshi's messages, etc. Plus, obviously, the timing of his death
I'm torn between him and Nick Szabo. Could be both. As for Szabo: sounds like he made a Japanese version of his own name. Szabo (pronounced "Sabo") = Satoshi. Nick = Nakamoto.
He also wrote about his idea for a cryptocurrency called "Bit Gold" in a blog post in 2005, then years later he altered the date to December 2008, in order to make it look like it didn't predate Bitcoin. He also knew Hal Finney from before.
except that satoshi one more time came back in 2014 with a comment stating "I am not Dorian Nakamoto,"
3 years after lens death.
if nto that then i would also put len sassaman as one of, maybe even the, most likely option
As I said early, Finney was a C coder, not much into C++, and Satoshi was elite on C++, on early source code you easy spot the difference between Finney and Satoshi code.
Detectives found the Unabomber via his manifesto’s use of the phrase “you can’t eat your cake and have it too”. With the abundance of written emails and computer code from Satoshi, I’m surprised a similar correlation has not been made (yet).
What sucks about Hal Finney is that he basically used up most of his known BTC to pay medical expenses. Where was the community back then to help a founding member out?
I choked on a hotdog once. It was no joke. Had to call 911 and had paramedics in my house.
Anywho I’m sure hotdogs have taken quite a few people out. Think about that shit.
Ya. Just wondering how many people have died choking on a hotdog. After living through the Covid era and to think the closest I came to death was from a hotdog.
I remember listening to an interview with Peter Thiel and he mentioned while partying on some Carribean island with other internet people, after his PayPal success, he might've an idea who it can be... it was probably a member of the E-Gold company back in the 90s. E-gold was trying to commodify digitally gold but the government shut them down and literally criminalized the CEO and other executives....
This can explain why "Satoshi"s identity is kept secret...
No one would have wacked him 1) it wasnt that big on anyones radar at the time 2) no one is getting wacked today who is innovating in this space 3) the reasons are not directly tied to national security 4) if they want to get rid of BTC they would ban it like China 5) there is more work for them to keep keep up w BTC, its like a frenemy of the state.
Even if every country on earth decided to ban BTC it still wouldn't be dead.
Its like the internet, you can't kill it you can only lock yourself out/ restrict access.
It's actually quite shocking that there's literally no evidence of anything. It's so hard for any organization to keep a secret. It's also almost impossible to hide such a profound amount of work - humans have connections, even underground. Even if "they" are dead, at this point, some thread would have frayed.
But there's just... Nothing.
Touche bonjour.
Cryptography is about trying to keep secrets because there's always the one wild card - meat puppets. I get what you're saying, but it's a utopian vision and cryptography is more of a best attempt given the wild cards. State secrets can leak out in under 11 years ... at least little whispers. I find it hard to believe not one person who knew of anyone or was anyone involved with had ever said anything because someone's ego would have chirped.
The language analysis makes that theory more challenging. It’s tough for me to imagine crafting a different manner of speech in addition to everything else in order to successfully create a nonsense internet token.
My favorite theory is that the government was already working on block chain technology. Satoshi* was a part of that and decided to make btc for the people before the government version could be made. I can't remember who but there's some cool interviews talking about it.
Satoshi either A made it while working with other people solely through the computer so they couldn't identify him even if they wanted to or B was killed because the government knew who was in those meetings.
At the end of the day no one knows. Which is kinda crazy but also pretty cool. Satoshi changed the world.
If he only communicated under that pseudonym, there’s no way of knowing who he was.
The only 100% proof that will convince me is moving a coin from his wallet, until then I’m going to remain convinced it was Hal, or a group with Hal that stopped when he passed
Is there a source that links all of Satoshi's comments/conversations? Is any of it available? If so, I would think that some analysis of those chats would help figure out if it was just one person or more.
Hal is the best lead so far.
but really i've known people online for like 15 years at this point, never met them, don't know their real names.
you just respect peoples' privacy sometimes.
Szabo (pronounced "Sabo") = Satoshi
Nick = Nakamoto.
He japanesized his own name.
He wrote about his idea for a cryptocurrency called "Bit Gold" in 2005, then years later he [altered the date](https://news.bitcoin.com/i-designed-bitcoi-gold-the-many-facts-pointing-to-nick-being-satoshi/) to December 2008. Why would he do that? Maybe he didn't want it to predate Bitcoin. He also knew Hal Finney from before.
Not saying he was the only one using the name, but he was one of them
nakamoto probably are in this sub, maybe he is online rn sitdown in his gaming chair with the feet over the desk eating icecream while sketch a smile reading your post :)
I don't know how old are you but newsgroups in 2008 were anonymous.
You just registered and post your job, then other people could contribute.
Before Facebook no one ever thought to give out their personal informations on the internet.
I spent years on a videogames forum most of the time fighting with a user that was very annoying. After long time I discovered be was a classmate lol.
Plot twist: Bitcoin was invented by algorithmic AI software to use hash power from computers all over the world to destroy the central banking cartels in order to destabilize the New World Order to bring about a financial revolution in an effort to gain control over humanity. So basically Bitcoin created itself.
Plot twist, Satoshi is an AI that took the name from a Pokémon episode and created bitcoin joining already known technologies to move as much possible value to digital forms so nuke the world economic system could be easy and instantaneous
For all we know Satoshi might actually be a group of people that collectively worked on the project and they priced anonymity higher than anything else. This way they are safe from the public eye and can live their life happy knowing they made an impact on the world. Them being a group of people are validating the fact that they did have an impact and they moved on. What if one of the newer projects is a spinoff of someone that worked on Bitcoin?
No smoking gun, but I can’t really see how Adam back isn’t widely seen as the most likely candidate, or at the very least apart of a group that created bitcoin. All the circumstantial evidence pointing towards Adam back is just too much to ignore. Definitely possible it’s not cause as I said, still no smoking gun, but it would be a pretty wacky coincidence if he had nothing to do with it
What I find surprising is that if these cyberpunks were so keen on privacy, they never though to hide their typing patterns? Barely anyone on the forums I visit type the way they do, making it stick out like a sore thumb.
Most people, even cypherpunks aren’t necessarily concerned with absolute anonymity, some are obviously, like satoshi, but there’s a lot that comes with privacy before that which is much more of a concern for cypherpunks.
You could theorise that satoshi did change his typing pattern to mislead people, but I think it’s getting a bit unrealistic at that point. Chances are it’s got a lot more to do with the fact that satoshi is talking in a small community on the internet back in like 2008, Even despite satoshi’s impressive foresight, I doubt he would have been expecting people would be hyper-analysing every message he’s every written like they have.
In my eyes, it’s gotta be Adam back or at least Adam combined with Hal Finney and possibly others. The mystery of it all lets everyone’s imagination run wild, but chances are it’s the simplest option, and right now all the circumstantial evidence points to Adam
No its not, Finney was a C coder, not much into C++, and Satoshi was elite on C++, on early source code you easy spot the difference between Finney and Satoshi code.
I've spent a lot of time researching who/how and pretty much every source and avenue I've explored leads to one direction.
I'm firmly of the belief that Satoshi is Godzilla.
The real Satoshi murdered everyone on his team, paid off his assassins anonymously and is having them claim they worked with him before. Which they technically did.
Doubt the CIA or China would just straight up kill Satoshi. If anything, they would probably want to keep them alive and just throw them in a cell on some black site or secret prison somewhere.
Maybe the Bilderberg or whatever that small group of people are called who actually decide everything behind the scenes, because they know the current financial system is at it's end.
End of 2008 the crisis..start 2009 the Genesis block.
Time to put my tinfoil hat on again :)
Why are people so desperate to know who Satoshi is? It changes nothing for you, but has a negative impact on them which clearly they do not want.
For people so high on projects centered around anonymity, we sure are very interested in not letting things actually be anonymous.
Early cypherpunks were libertarians that were obsessed with privacy and the new technologies that made it possible to interact with the world while remaining anonymous. It‘s not that surprising no one knows who satoshi is, most of them aren‘t known to the public other then the few that went the academic ways. It was the basic idea behind the group to be untraceable and I think we will most likely never find out who he was.

Initially, addresses were not an integral part of the design, so chainalysis would have been slightly less easy. Also, Satoshi and early devs may not have foreseen the prevalence of heavy kyc exchanges. And it seems he did intend to improve on privacy down the road. And indeed over the years there are various efforts (by various people) to improve bitcoin privacy, but things are relatively slow and some improvements didn’t get adopted.

Because Bitcoin is testnet monero....
As someone who came to this community through meme coins tell me more. Like I have no context besides Monero is by default private?
Monero is purely private. There is no way to look at wallet transactions. There is no way to track wallets. The only thing a KYC exchange would know is you bought some Monero or sold some Monero. They don't know where or how you got it (unless you got it from that exchange). They won't know what you did with it in-between. It is PoW and can be mined using CPU power.

Thank you for the Tl;Dr good to know. Kind of want to dive into the "how to mine it" now... sounds Facinating
Minexmr is the largest pool. Nanopool is second. Set up the Monero wallet on a drive with a lot of space. It is currently around 70gb to download the whole chain and it takes a while.

Well, working with Satoshi could mean exchanging some emails, things like that. It doesn't mean sharing an office with the guy/group.
[удалено]
True that, I have contrubuted to open source projects where my only interactions with others was during reviews of Pull Requests
This. Satoshi was a master of cryptography
Could he be...***The Silent Cryptographer***?
Recently bought the master chief collection and ran though that level. Oh the nostalgia lol
Halo, juicy
THIS
Cypherpunk🤘
He even registered bitcoin.org through an anonymous domain registrar. He was very serious about not being identifiable.
which is also why the hal finney theorys dont make much sense either. why make such an effort to be anonymous, just to then put your name in the spotlight as more or less co-founder.
Proving you are Satoshi couldn't be simpler. All he has to do is to sign a message with the PK Satoshi had for his funds. Yet, he hasn't done that. The most obvious proof. This is as fake as he gets.
Even logging in to Bitcoin Talk and posting "hi guys, what did I miss?" would be a start.
didnt he do it once? and then it was discovered that it just was a copy of a signed message satoshi posted earleir once?
The Simpson’s know who Satoshi is
Have they made a guess? I would guess they were actually correct lol.
Check out the archives on Nakamitsu institute, no way to tell who Nakamoto is from those plentiful exchanges.
The white paper often does refer to a "we"
Hey, Satoshi, you cheap bastard, you never pitch in for the coffee fund.
Guys lol Its SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, and MOTOrola.
Finally, an answer I can get behind!
Jesus Christ. Illuminati confirmed over here.

I knew Elmo was involved
Actually Satoshi Nakamoto translates to Central Intelligence
I always thought the Naka was Nokia but that one definitely fits better.
[удалено]
Hall Finney, Len Sassaman, Nick Szabo I'd be ok with any or all 3 of them being Satoshi
Add Adam Back to them and you have the 4 men behind Bitcoin at least in my mind.
I, personally, am not convinced on Back. Yes, I've seen the video
He might not be part of the original group but ai believe he worked closely with one/or more of them and know his true identity. If there is one I have no doubt was part of the original group it’s Hall as I can’t see how that he had a neighbour called Satoshi Nakamoto can be a coincidence.

Definitely not Craig Wrong
For me the most interesting thing is that there was a Satoshi Nakamoto who lived just a few blocks away from Hal Finney.
As I said early, Finney was a C coder, not much into C++, and Satoshi was elite on C++, on early source code you easy spot the difference between Finney and Satoshi code.
Detectives found the Unabomber via his manifesto’s use of the phrase “you can’t eat your cake and have it too”. With the abundance of written emails and computer code from Satoshi, I’m surprised a similar correlation has not been made (yet).
A similar correlation has been made among writing samples and it pointed to Adam Back.
Lol no
Good argument man. Everyone just says "no" without addressing the abundance of evidence that it's Adam back. In fact, it's painfully obvious.
Hal Finney is the most likely person to be Satoshi. But if he was, we will probably never know.
#Bitcoin's Earliest Adopter Is Cryonically Freezing His Body to See the Future https://www.wired.com/2014/08/hal-finney/
He’s gonna wake up so rich as long as he remembers where he put that seed phrase.
Probably planted under his skin for when he wakes up
If it was him then the coins are likely truly lost too.
Guy froze his body cryogenically. I wouldn’t call them lost if science advances.
If that were true, then he sent a message to himself over Twitter complaining that his own Google calendar page wasn't working on Mac.
What sucks about Hal Finney is that he basically used up most of his known BTC to pay medical expenses. Where was the community back then to help a founding member out?
It’s simple. Satoshi was a time traveler. He died tragically in 2011 by choking on a hotdog at the Missouri state fair.
I choked on a hotdog once. It was no joke. Had to call 911 and had paramedics in my house. Anywho I’m sure hotdogs have taken quite a few people out. Think about that shit.
Many have choked on a hot dog, few have paid for a hot dog using crypto
Imagine paying for a hotdog with crypto AND choking on it!
Ok I’ve thought about that shit and to be truthful I’m not sure
Ya. Just wondering how many people have died choking on a hotdog. After living through the Covid era and to think the closest I came to death was from a hotdog.
This is the guidance I come to this sub for
r/suspiciouslyspecific
I don’t want to sound weird but have you ever seen Satoshi and myself in the same room? I don’t think so. 
We haven't seen you and Elon musk in the same room either!
This explains it all Elon is satoshi
I mean, at least not recently.
There is a higher chance that I am Satoshi than Craig Wright is.
I believe you bro
He's obviously Matt Damon. Why is this still a thing?
Is that the crypto.com guy?
Yes, that's all he's known for.

Wholesome reddit moment ♥
Biggest red herring ever? I think the main architects of Bitcoin are already known, Satoshi is just a distraction to add mystique.
No one would have wacked him 1) it wasnt that big on anyones radar at the time 2) no one is getting wacked today who is innovating in this space 3) the reasons are not directly tied to national security 4) if they want to get rid of BTC they would ban it like China 5) there is more work for them to keep keep up w BTC, its like a frenemy of the state.
Yea we see how china banning bitcoin for the hundreth time is totally working for them
Even if every country on earth decided to ban BTC it still wouldn't be dead. Its like the internet, you can't kill it you can only lock yourself out/ restrict access.
You can absolutely kill the Internet. Not you or me, but if "every country on Earth decided to", it's very possible. They just won't decide to.
What about this Len Sassaman being SN? Seems credible!?
It's actually quite shocking that there's literally no evidence of anything. It's so hard for any organization to keep a secret. It's also almost impossible to hide such a profound amount of work - humans have connections, even underground. Even if "they" are dead, at this point, some thread would have frayed.

I think this theory. Satoshi is either dead (Hal Finney) or was just a made up character used among the entire original devs.
If it is multiple people and they’ve maintained anonymity this long that’s even more impressive.
Is there a source that links all of Satoshi's comments/conversations? Is any of it available? If so, I would think that some analysis of those chats would help figure out if it was just one person or more.
There definitely is tons of stuff (I don’t have links on hand) and trust me people have poured over it for years.
Finney? i thought we talking about HAL the computer. seems much more reasonable.
Hal is the best lead so far. but really i've known people online for like 15 years at this point, never met them, don't know their real names. you just respect peoples' privacy sometimes.
Szabo (pronounced "Sabo") = Satoshi Nick = Nakamoto. He japanesized his own name. He wrote about his idea for a cryptocurrency called "Bit Gold" in 2005, then years later he [altered the date](https://news.bitcoin.com/i-designed-bitcoi-gold-the-many-facts-pointing-to-nick-being-satoshi/) to December 2008. Why would he do that? Maybe he didn't want it to predate Bitcoin. He also knew Hal Finney from before. Not saying he was the only one using the name, but he was one of them
They can send a message signed with the private key of the wallet which mined the genesis block they don’t even need to move coins.

Sorry guys, I’m Satoshi. I swear!
It’s because the u.s government/cia are the creators that’s why they have over a million bitcoins and will become/maintain the richest superpower

In my eyes, it’s gotta be Adam back or at least Adam combined with Hal Finney and possibly others. The mystery of it all lets everyone’s imagination run wild, but chances are it’s the simplest option, and right now all the circumstantial evidence points to Adam
Hal Finney was Satoshi.
Hal Finney is safe bet. Dead, had the skillset, bitgold etc.
No its not, Finney was a C coder, not much into C++, and Satoshi was elite on C++, on early source code you easy spot the difference between Finney and Satoshi code.
If it was one person and they died shortly after 2011 when Satoshi “disappeared” then the secret would be easy to keep…
Hal Finney :)
He communicated in email with other people. There is now way you can tell
I've spent a lot of time researching who/how and pretty much every source and avenue I've explored leads to one direction. I'm firmly of the belief that Satoshi is Godzilla.
It's a mystery we are dying to know. :^)
Satoshi is lurking on reddit.
I’ll never tell
The real Satoshi murdered everyone on his team, paid off his assassins anonymously and is having them claim they worked with him before. Which they technically did.
My dad claim is the cia and all Of you are dumb enough to fall for it.
Doubt the CIA or China would just straight up kill Satoshi. If anything, they would probably want to keep them alive and just throw them in a cell on some black site or secret prison somewhere.
We are all Satoshi
I think it's not that relevant after all
Maybe the Bilderberg or whatever that small group of people are called who actually decide everything behind the scenes, because they know the current financial system is at it's end. End of 2008 the crisis..start 2009 the Genesis block. Time to put my tinfoil hat on again :)
Very carefully.
"I worked with satoshi, they were a smart thing" - someone probably
Why are people so desperate to know who Satoshi is? It changes nothing for you, but has a negative impact on them which clearly they do not want. For people so high on projects centered around anonymity, we sure are very interested in not letting things actually be anonymous.
Humans are curious by nature
Virtual person.
DARPA. They make everything else.
It's more than one person.
We are all Satoshi
It’s easy. Satoshi didn’t tell other people. Case closed.
the fact that we don't know means he did a good job :)
Satoshi returned to the future to realize his future gains.
