What inspired the creation of the blockchain? Did you foresee the ramifications of your creation?

If so, is that why you chose to remain anonymous and not spend any of your coins?

Once he starts spending he will be found

He/she/they will never spend those coins.

1. Those 1 million BTC have not been touched - not a single one - in nearly five years, despite the fact that selling 1% of his coins would net him 6 million USD today. If Satoshi was truly interested in financial gain, there is no logical reason he wouldn't have sold ANY of his coins by this point.

(1) that would make sense if Nakamoto SAtoshi was a government employee. Those coins would not be his to spend, not one satoshi. Grin

(2) he may have mined many other coins besides those million, and may be selling/using them already.

that makes as much as sense as the samsung toshiba motorolla thing...

Burden of proof fallacy.

I am not CLAIMING that he is a government employee. Only pointing out that it is a possibility. Lack of proof is not proof of the contrary.

Academic interest in bitcoin only. Not owner, not trader, very skeptical of its longterm success.

Anything is possible.
Maybe Satoshi is a hyper-intelligent cat, sent from the planet Gooseboig XIII.

Are there any facts that support even a remote possibility he might be a government employee?

"Government employee" is too broad. That includes being a janitor at an elementary school, a disgruntled scientist at a military research faciltiy, or Edward Snowden. So, are there any facts that would hint at him NOT being a government employee, in this broad sense?

But I was thinking of Bitcoin being a government project and Satoshi being the team that designed it. For one thing, the design is too complex but too "final", with all the problems thought of and carefully fixed in some way; that suggests a team with a mission, rather than an individual working alone on a dream. Also the US government is strangely ambiguous, even friendly, about a project that is openly meant to let people evade its control. Is that enough facts to "support even a remote possibility"?

Would you give me some BTC you have when you first mined (assuming he did).

Quote from: validium on June 17, 2014, 06:17:51 AM

I would ask him/her/they to give me 100 btc Cool

he gave the people a way to make money that was not fixed to any government red tape such as tax, minimum wage, employee contracts, gold plot permits, etc. Yet some people cant see the benefits and still want free hand outs.

if you cant understand the beauty of what satoshi has gave the world then you do not deserve to have an interview with him

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.
Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both researched opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

what's your reason for creating bitcoin to be susceptible to a 51% attack?

thats my current question.

The design is that the majority of the hashing power decides which blockchain is valid, in case of a conflict. He did not propose "susceptible to a 51% attack" to be a feature of Bitcoin.

y didn't he incorporate something like peer coin feature which doesn't have 51% attack?

Why didn't Ford put a DVD player in the Model T?

on further thoughts,
if satoshi can think of bitcoin,
i'm sure nakamoto had already thought of all other existing altscoin's special features as well, just that bitcoin is still better overall.

I've seen this argument before, when debating theists about their imaginary friend(s)...

"I am not CLAIMING that there is a god, only pointing out that it is a possibility."

That's nice honey. There's just one problem with that logic - EVERYTHING is a possibility. Pointing out something as a possibility is the same as saying nothing at all. So don't waste your bandwidth and our time by doing it.

I was just thinking about this...it would have been pretty funny if he would have posted something like "Newsweek you caught me..."

He basically could have made everyone keep thinking that Dorian was the real Satoshi...

And Dorian is too cool to do that to.
