For the last 9 years many people have been wondering about the rising of Bitcoin, but more importantly the person(s) behind Bitcoin. Why does it really matter? I can tell you what you want to hear, but the story will somehow change and turn against Satoshi Nakamoto. Its up to you to read this message the right way.

Everytime someone gets a tip indicating that they found Satoshi Nakamoto the first impression is to either raid the entrepreneurs home or cause grief towards the creator(s) themselves. Whatever you might think of it as; there are many great things Bitcoin did to this world.

The pilot idea was to bring currency in a cryptographic source. The crypto-currency is managed in a democratic format. It allows the world to have control of mining Bitcoins at their very own hands. Imagine that? Well, stop imagining. Its happening in our current lives. You blame us for all the wrong-doings that involves Bitcoin, but who is to blame? Satoshi Nakamoto. Well then we can blame the Phoenicians for all the wrong-doings around the world. Its just not right. We will help, till the end. Im sure you realize the static of the Bitcoin market and the unusual rise of a steady crypto-commodity. I hope it puts you all to peace. We look forward to improving the most valuable currency in the world. We will let you all know how to contribute to improving Bitcoin. We are ready to put you in our circle by giving you the lost and legendary key: 5361746f736869204e616b616d6f746f

Thank you. -The central origin of clear thinking.

Code:

$ bx base16-decode 5361746f736869204e616b616d6f746f

If you base16 decode this string it says "Satoshi Nakamoto". Cheesy

That string doesn't prove anything. If the real Satoshi wanted to post anything he would use his PGP key that he left a link to in this post. You can use his public key to verify whether any post from someone claiming to be Satoshi is really from him. Any post that cannot be authenticated by that key is probably from an impostor.

For future reference, here's my public key. It's the same one that's been there since the bitcoin.org site first went up in 2008. Grab it now in case you need it later.

There's a copy of his key at this link.

I'm not implying that it proves the user is Satoshi just posting the facts; it's clearly a troll post.

Satoshi would have used base58. Wink
