If 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.
