Some interesting bits:
> When I firstly communicated to him (Hal Finney) and he gave me my surname Nakamoto, he did ask where I was from and my answer was that I’m from Asian ancestry. He assumed that as Japanese because of my pseudonym. Hal was the only one who I told about my actual ancestry.
> I used TOR, an open-source software for enabling anonymous communication. I wanted to use computers that were not using VPN and were physically on the network and not blacklisted. This is why some people have incorrectly surmised that I worked on Bitcoin from California, but I’ve never lived there.
> Today, when Bitcoin is understood by the advances of technology, but at the same time is being hijacked by greed, I feel I have a duty to work hard and make my creation better and take its vision to the next level.
So another fork?
- celticninja 7y agoIf the author can move the coins then they could probably get a lot of people on-board with a fork, however all a fork really does is make satoshi the god of 2 chains, with enough coins on both to kill either at a moments notice. I am guessing that part 2 will be how he has lost access to the coins and so cant move them, and is skint and needs donations.
- nabaraz 7y agoI have heard Satoshi's coins cannot actually be moved now because of the way they were mined.
- celticninja 7y agoThis is incorrect. The genesis block, which is the first block ever mined, contains 50 bitcoins and these cannot be moved. All other coins that were supposedly mined by satoshi, should have no issue being moved as long as the associated password is known.
