There are couple of people who have claimed the throne of Satoshi but Craig wright is the only prominent fraud who had taken it to the court.

You need to understand that there is an unclaimed fortune worth 54 billion usd is lying in the internet. So it's no wonder that people are trying to get their hands on that.

Forum Member extraelv has done a pretty comprehensive list over in ivory tower

It also shows all the whitepaper copyright applications .
Hope this helps

The list is full with many faketoshis but Craig Wright is on top of them who still is running legal cases and all that stuff which is useless and have no point and all btc maximalist knows he can't be the genius behind the bitcoin creation.


He was running some scam investment plans and people were fool enough to beleive him as why would the original creator of bitcoin Satoshi ask people to invest in his pension funds when he have 1 million coins stored in different addresses?

[/Quote] In the whole investigation, it is found that he collected a total of 1.8 million euros for his Investment platform named  ” Bitcoin Pension”. [/Quote]

Some other have been mentioned already by the members but we don't need to focus more on them as many will claim this but the reality is we all are satoshi and we don't need to unlock this mystery which is better.Many will be added to the list and Craig Wright will end up badly and will regret creating this whole scene against him.

I do not surprise by that news because with the popularity of bitcoin now, many people want to be the founder of bitcoin but they can not identify if they are the real Satoshi Nakamoto. They do not have access to Satoshi's wallet and they will say that the private keys were lost a long time ago and try to convince the public that they are telling the truth. I do not think much about people who claimed them as Satoshi Nakamoto because they are not the real Satoshi Nakamoto as long as they can not access the wallet. But well, we will see many more will claim themselves as Satoshi

Lucius, I know that mate. They all are fraud and have shared nothing to verify their claiming. But I need the list for something else. Newbies are getting on wrong tracking regarding who is the real satoshi nakamoto. Craig is getting some supporters too. That's why I want to create an article in local language and introduce the fraud as fraud and why these guys claiming to be satoshi are fraud. That's why I'm looking for the list.

They're more than just attention seekers, they want the influence and power of being the one to be named Satoshi, besides the prestige there's also the money involved, I mean look at what CSW did with the lawsuit, that's a lot of money to be given to him so more than the attention, the prestige, influence and riches are the biggest motivators for these pretenders.

Exactly! We don't need impersonators here that can't give solid proof of being Satoshi.
I believe, we just need to accept the fact that if in case Satoshi is still living, he prefers this way.
This is the mystery of bitcoin and I believe it will stay that way for long time.
Anyone can claim he is satoshi but we need convincing proofs before they can truly claim he is.

@naim027, I think none in the list is in the real Satoshi.

He would not show in public, that would make him safe because he is one of the richest people in the world already with his btc holding. Knowing Satoshi will not anymore make people interested as they like the way it is now, satoshi is anonymous and that mystery will continue to stay the same until bitcoin finally gains massive adoption.

One thing I noticed, those who claimed they are satoshi are getting bashed in the community, so why would try to claimed if he does not even have a valid proof?

Of course, it has the support of various Bitcoin haters, as well as those who switched to the dark side just because of the profits they made through their altshitcoins forks. Back in 2016 one of Satoshi Nakamoto’s closest collaborators wrote the following :


If such an intelligent man (supposedly) can utter such nonsense, then it is quite clear that ordinary people doubt whether there is truth in it or not. Anyone who has read the posts from Satoshi could very easily conclude what kind of man he is and that Faketoshi is the complete opposite of everything that Satoshi Nakamoto represented.

That's right, there's a reason for everything, but people don't want to accept it. The reason why Bitcoin has succeeded is precisely in the fact that there is not one person who pulls all the strings - this was also clear to Satoshi when he announced that he was handing over Bitcoin to others and would be dealing with some other things.
