searching-for-satoshi's Introduction

searching-for-satoshi

i was looking, and i think i found you. thank you and i'll see you soon. Cheers!

Here was my initial hyphothesis and outlook.

It's highly likely that Satoshi either DIED, lost the keys to his kingdom through some ACCIDENT, or is actually a GOVERNMENT entity. Those are the 3 main endgame scenarios to the debate IMO. It's very unlikely that Satoshi is still alive, with all his fortunes, and just values his/her privacy too much to let anyone know.

After searching:

Satoshi is living and maintaining his silence -- I was very skeptical at the start of this search, but now I may have to eat my hat. I believe I know who Satoshi is. I consider Satoshi a friend and I will not betray him. I will end my public search logs with that promise, to respect his privacy.
Satoshi is dead -- If Satoshi is dead, He was Hal Finney. Hal may have played a little joke on all of us and made up his "friend" Satoshi. His loss is one of the saddest in the history of computer science, and in fact all of history. R.I.P., Hal!
Satoshi is a government -- If Satoshi was/is a government, it is probably either the NSA or KGB in my opinion. Either option opens up a series of questions that could fill a hundred spy novels.
Satoshi lost his keys -- I don't believe this for a second. This category includes Craig Wright, who couldn't even produce a valid crypto signature in his "confession", so he obviously doesn't understand even the basics. The minimum I would trust is a full GPG signature of a testimonial document, signed by Satoshi's PGP key, which is known. A close second would be an improvised signature from the private key of Satoshi's mining addresses. The real Satoshi would have no problem producing such a signature.

More than 100 addresses with unmoved bitcoin mined in 2009 (Satoshi?) just signed a message against CSW

The message is available at: https://paste.debian.net/plain/1148565
You can verify it at: https://tools.qz.sg/

Someone just signed a message calling Craig a fraud from 145 addresses Craig claimed were his in the Tulip Trust.

I verified the first few addresses on the list, and their signatures and presence on Craig's list checks out.

Satoshi Nakamoto - "My Reveal"

See: https://satoshinrh.com/

Please join me as I end my anonymity in a three-part daily series “My Reveal” that begins today, Aug. 18 – the 11th anniversary of my registration of the domain name bitcoin.org. In “My Reveal,” I will divulge such previously unknown facts as the origin of my iconic pseudonym, the status of my 980,000 bitcoins, and my real-life identity. I’ll also introduce Tabula Rasa, my clean-slate vision for the future of Bitcoin.

The first of a three-part series in which I, Satoshi Nakamoto, disclose previously unknown facts about the creation of Bitcoin. I also reveal the developments that led to my departure and why I’m returning to Bitcoin after a decade of total anonymity.

My birth name is Bilal Khalid. I used that name to register the domain name theBCCI.net on the 18th of November 2008. I’ve since changed my legal forename and surname to James Caan. I updated my name on the domain registration of theBCCI.net since only the owner of the domain can make such a change. But it is impossible for anyone to change the domain name itself or the date on which it was registered.

Revelations

What

[deduction] Satoshi was not american, therefore not Zooko

Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn can't be Satoshi, as he's american.

Occasional British English spelling and terminology (such as the phrase "bloody hard") in both source code comments and forum postings led to speculation that Nakamoto, or at least one individual in the consortium claiming to be him, was of Commonwealth origin.

Moreover, the first bitcoin block that could only be mined by Satoshi contains the encoded text The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks which implies that he was reading London's The Times newspaper at the time of the inception of bitcoin.

Mr. Davis started following Mr. Nakamoto’s trail of online writing, and noticed that, after an initial post announcing Bitcoin that used American spelling, the programmer used the British spelling, referred to London newspapers and at one point using the phrase “bloody hard”–suggesting he had lived or studied in the U.K. or Ireland.

A Swiss coder and active community member, graphed the time stamps for each of Nakamoto's 500-plus bitcoin forum posts; the resulting chart showed a steep decline to almost no posts between the hours of 5 am and 11 am Greenwich Mean Time. Because this pattern held true even on Saturdays and Sundays, it suggested that the lull was occurring when Nakamoto was asleep, rather than at work. (The hours of 5 am to 11 am GMT are midnight to 6 am Eastern Standard Time.) Other clues suggested that Nakamoto was British: A newspaper headline he had encoded in the genesis block came from the UK-published Times of London, and both his forum posts and his comments in the bitcoin source code used such Brit spellings as optimise and colour.

During the nicehash hack

I did some reverse lookup on a IP address associated with the node run that bitcoin moved through and it came up to a IRC log online of some guys using some NSA crypto lib (or purchasing it) from someone for the bitcoin project.

One guy was actually asian/japanese and appeared to run the operation, and would pass PGP encrypted messages from one IRC group to another like a jailhouse flipping bits to make sure it was randomized a bit.

Here it is:

It's very slow, but you might pull it up from internetarchive

Also- I hope you are doing well Carlos8f. I saw you were having some living situation troubles recently. I wish you all of the love and the best of luck in your endeavors.

Recursive Matrix Multiplication

I saw this yesterday, made me wonder some.
I think Satoshi is probably American, and probably passed away to be honest.
That or he's Russian.

I feel that the Bitcoin project is very vast, thought-out. As if it was either A. A planned hackerish thing to make money, or some sort of ethical conclusion that he's maybe NYC-local, mid-30s? Or early 40s? I feel signs of 9-11 aftermath, banking system failure, money stacking robots. Liveleak? The matrix Oracle, Kryptos. Who knows. Usenet? Terrible matrix cam rips... Again... Over-writing the Oracle with laughtracks at AMC. I feel as if it's sort of really implied that he's maybe too young to be dead though, but too smart to be not alive. Multiple Satoshis is likely. Very.

I think the spots looked into are wrong.

Bitcoin creator Craig S. Wright (Satoshi Nakamoto?) granted US copyright registrations for Bitcoin white paper and code

Craig S. Wright has been granted U.S. copyright registrations for the famed original Bitcoin white paper, and most of the original Bitcoin code (version 0.1). Importantly, the registrations issued by the U.S. Copyright Office recognize Wright as the author – under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto – of both the white paper and code. This is the first government agency recognition of Craig Wright as Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. In addition to being Bitcoin’s creator, Wright is currently Chief Scientist of nChain, the global leader in advisory, research and development of blockchain technologies, which focuses on massive adoption of Bitcoin in the form of Bitcoin SV (Satoshi Vision).
