Which one do you think is Satoshi Nakamoto?

Idk why people are suing him. If he says he’s the founder just make a transaction from that “Satoshi” wallet, if not then you simply can’t prove.

Either way I dont want to hold the "Craig"coin lol

why is Jack Dorsey?for what the reason?

Your Telegram message is dated September 21, 2021, but John died on June 23, 2021. So either this message isn’t from him, or he’s not dead. The mystery remains.

My opinion is that Satoshi Nakamoto is not a single person. I find it very difficult to believe that one person could have such a deep knowledge of cryptography, programming, technology, etc. In science, pioneers undoubtedly specialize in a particular area of research and certainly have their own team.

Another thing that may indicate that this is a team and not an individual is that in the early days of bitcoin (2008-2009), errors in the code, bugs, and security holes were fixed within a few hours. It is impossible for a single person to have such a large number of issues and to fix them in such a short time.

An issue that makes impossible to trace Nakamoto is that he knew very well how to anonymize his communications. Not only did he use proxies, Tor, and PGP, but he also did not reveal any personal information, making it very difficult to identify him/them! Also, all communication emails and posts are related to bitcoin and technical issues. The email addresses we know he used do not reveal anything else. And the only use he made of them was for bitcoin.

The writing style of the author of the paper, emails and posts indicates that it is the same person, but I think the work was a collaborative process. Also how is it possible that he has been working on the bitcoin project since mid-2007 (according to SN’s email ) and in less than 1.5 years he had presented a so pioneering project? Volume of work that requires more people

Who is SN? With the information we have so far, we won’t find out. Only speculation…

The last thing I want to emphasize is that a group of cryptographers working on a project who want to remain anonymous would have both the means and the method to keep it that way until the end. Even the fact that SN disappeared may have been part of a gentleman’s agreement for the reasons I mentioned above. More public exposure, more risks of a “mistake”… Do you agree?

Even if you just read the whitepaper, I have at least seen the hand of two, likely three perhaps more people. Sure, one smart intuitive person is the one who solved the main issue by realising you needed to integrate proof of work in a peer2peer network for creating a time-line and immutability, but he/she was standing on the shoulders of others and multiple people cobtributed to make that vision a reality.

Science and technology is a path with constant incremental improvent and an ocasional leap, as happened with the inception of Bitcoin. Bitcoin was not the beginning nor the end of this path. Similarly, mimblewimble/grin is a major leap, but it is not the end. Technology like time only goes forward, never backwards (lets not go into the whole discussion about time not being linear, wrong forum for that).

Once in awhile I see news that “this or that bitcoin wallet that hasn’t been touched for like 15 years, suddenly moved the coins - some people think this has to do with satoshi. In reality I think it’s obvious that these wallet were brute forced. For the amount of money in these inactive wallets, it’s worth it to spend the computational power to crack the keys. I highly doubt anyone would never touch their coins for thay many years considering how valuable the coins became. Long story short, I’m pretty sure China or CIA or large computer farms do have the resources to solve the prime numbers required for private keys.

I have seen the investigative methods, technical means, and social engineering methods of state resources… Communication, servers, transfers, etc. will leave traces, and I think if it is an organization with multiple people involved, Chinese or American investigators will definitely know. The more people there are, the harder it is to keep secrets,which is that who is satoshi.
