Question from a user I recently referred to this platform.
Here: With all the speculations about the claims of revealing (unsealing) of Satoshi's Nakamoto's identity and the arguments in the forum, why not we just direct this questionable request of Satoshi's identity to Theymos since he is one known users who started this bitcointalk forum together with Satoshi as parent pioneers before platforms the hidden gem?
I don't think Theymos will have the time to reply to the issue involving Satoshi's identity because a lot of discussion was made on this forum about it years ago, and Theymos has said his side of the story. Besides, there was a time a member of this forum told Theymos to reveal the Satoshi inbox and outbox messages on this forum. What Theymos said is that he has no intention of doing that based on the respect that the forum has for people's privacy.
An example
Are all of the interviews in the trailer original? I got the feeling that several of them were interviews I saw many years ago, though I could be wrong.
My current feeling on Satoshi's identity is:
- Sassaman is a very bad candidate. If this is their conclusion, then they totally failed to do proper research.
- 50% chance it's someone nobody's ever heard of, and nobody will ever figure it out
- 35% chance it's Hal Finney. (Over time, I've moved more probability into this category.)
- 10% chance it's someone else in the Bitcoin-verse
- 5% chance it's a group within the CIA
But I'm really not a fan of the whole "search for Satoshi" genre. Being anonymous, Satoshi is an excellent myth and source of inspiration, since we can't see much of his flawed humanity. Mythical-Satoshi is a humble man who, with a lot of persistence and skill, but not with a level of brilliance beyond the reach of us mortals, single-handedly created a clockwork device so powerful that it shook the world. And then, in an action which nobody in the traditional halls of power would ever take, he had the wisdom to walk away: a modern Cincinnatus. I like that myth very much, and I'd rather it not be tainted by association with an actual human.
Who knows if there had been communal connections among them with probabilities to had have clue of each other as they may share same vision in the cryptography on Bitcoin and with his(Theymos) profile and influence in the platform being created by Satoshi himself?
Sort of, but based on what he said, they always contacted themselves through emails, and I believe you should know this is possible in the crypto space, where a client you don't know in the real world gives you a job, and once it is executed, you get paid.
I never used my real name in emails to Satoshi, and Satoshi never called be my my real name.
