Who is satoshi? Nobody know who he is and where he is living? Perhaps he will never be present at this world . He can live with many many bitcoins which he is owning and just that's enough for him to have a very very rich and beautiful life so nobody can dream like him . The rumors are only rumors and we continue to buy and sell bitcoins everyday.
Satoshi has never spent a single BTC.
I laugh at the comments people make when they get all their basic facts wrong.
Nash was conscientious. He would have destroyed the private key before he mined the coins.
Has anyone tried to check if Satoshi's addresses correspond to an unspendable public key?
but as someone else pointed out (sorry forgot who) wouldnt nash known of that potential problem and publicly burned the coins as they were mined. xfer then to an unspendable address or something. i mean if perfect money were the intent it shouldnt have the risk of a price crash built into it.
As I wrote before as quoted above, I think he'd probably left it as a puzzle to prove that his addresses are a hash of an unspendable public key.
Because he'd want it to be known later, not in the initial stages of Bitcoin. Something people would get around to later, perhaps much later if computation would be intractable now.
