Seems you are confused. I was quoting "Yassin54" and wishing the Komodo team. I am not part of the team

what's this? who's writing this??

Consider me a fan boy who understands business aspects and who could foresee the future of Crypto Exchanges.

Thanks for the English lesson :-)

Could be by 2020. Ethereum power is in its platform. You need more companies building on ethereum to make it happen.

Ether could be good for long term investments.

This solution is not for OP but if someone lands into same trouble. One of my friends had same problem in past.

Here is the solution.


Install Multibit

Use restore wallet option

Enter the words (msigna wallet) and passphrase used if any.

Ignore the date

Multibit will import the wallet

LOL just 1000 bitcoins 

Original Post Updated.

Pawel is not Satoshi. The search is still ON.

Damn, I never thought about these aspects....

Unless Pawel respond to me and say something. Fingers crossed . I sent him email.

As many would claim, it was NEVER a ponzy scheme for him. He was more inclined towards the technology that could build Bitcoin. He never bothered to make money for himself. His unspent wallets speaks volumes about the man's integrity.

He wanted to be anonymous simply because he is not interested to get FAMOUS.

He looks rich but He is not. All his wallets are Untouched and Unspent even now

The biggest hurdle in finding Satoshi is lack of Digital evidence like IP address, Payment details, so on...

Satoshi's digitial foot prints either leads to anonymousspeech.com or TOR.  Both anonymous

Now everyone is struck with circumstantial evidence. When its circumstantial, anyone can be connected to Satoshi based on doubt.

It is a common practice to write "We" when they release a paper. You can pick any published paper, you would find "We propose"

I am going with Pawel the student based on comments by Gavin.

 “Satoshi was a brilliant programmer,” Andresen said. “But he didn’t have a deep understanding of all the cutting edge crypto research that’s going on.”


Sebastian is an established cryptographer and knows in and out.

There's no reason satoshi has to be a group of people. 

We know about Wei Dai, Nick Szabo, Adam Back, Hal Finney, and all the people who contributed to cryptography, public key cryptography, hashing algorithms - all of these people contributed to the ideas behind Bitcoin.  Even the guy who created Bittorrent helped pave the way for P2P networking.  There are countless people whose work made Bitcoin possible.

But none of those people kept their identities secret.  Why would they suddenly all agree to start making their work anonymous?

It's possible that satoshi put together their work into something new, without their direct involvement.  And based on the small number of people mining after launch, it couldn't have been a very large group of people.  There definitely weren't a large number of computers involved, which means it was probably just a few normal people with regular cheap computers and not a lot of money, resources, or connections to help get this project going. 

Hal Finney was probably the closest thing satoshi had to a partner, and his role was mostly limited to testing the first transaction.  He only mined a few blocks.  So if satoshi's choice for the first transaction recipient wouldn't even run a computer to help maintain the network, then where was this supposed group of people working together?

If you think it would take lots of people to help refine the code, then you are correct.  Lots of people from Bitcointalk have been contributing code for years.  Bitcoin was far from a finished product when satoshi released it, and it's still not finished.  So if it was designed by an elite group of geniuses, why have they needed so much constant outside help? 

There's no proof either way;  some people think the evidence suggests a group of people, but the evidence can also point to a single person.

Very valid points.

1. It doesn't need a group to come up with an algorithm that is unique and never done before

2. Every concept was already available. All Satoshi has to do is join them together. (hashcash, p2p, merkle, timestamp)

3. It doesn't need a group to mine genesis block, few PC's and resources would do.

4. If it was a group, for the kind of fame "Satoshi" have got today and with the kind of money involved, Someone in the group would come up by now to claim it for sure.

It was always a SINGLE person IMHO.

Satoshi sends email directly to Adam and then Adam refers Wei. Both Adam and Wei gets citations on the paper. Story ends there.

Are they suspecting Alerj78 for this hack?

I'll probably release Satoshi's PMs and logged IPs addresses in ~8 years. This'd probably be of great historical interest. (Though he always used Tor, as far as I can tell.)

Thanks Vene. I am trying to contact Pawel directly and ask him :-) There is no other way to confirm this as we are struck with circumstantial evidence only. Things will
be easy with digital evidence but Satoshi never leave any trace

About me

I'm a second year graduate student at UC Irvine. My adviser is Michael Goodrich. I graduated with a M.Sc. in Computer Science from University of Wrocław in 2007. I joined UCI in Fall 2009. Prior to that I worked for ADB Polska.

After finding Pawel's paper. I seriously doubt Gavin knew the guy from the start or atleast when Satoshi left.

Check this

I quote Gavin from WSJ

“I think he’s an academic, maybe a post-doc, maybe a professor who just doesn’t want the attention,” said Gavin Andresen in an interview at his one-man office in Amherst, Mass., last month. “And that’s why he’s proven anonymous.”
