Obviously this is fake. I can't imagine satoshi saying "we are all satoshi" - so much cringe... Plus, we know that the gmx account was hacked and it seems it was hacked through a simple guess of his birthday. As such, it seem

And you have a history of jumping the gun in declaring evidence as false or not true which likewise likely caused/causes harm. Such as your public and forceful "rebuking", in an authoritarian manner, of the then revelations,

Sorry, the text should have been in quotes. As r/bitcoin remains censored I thought perhaps you hackers would like to learn of the twist and turn that some people have chosen to take in regards to bitcoin.

Yet you and some of your other blockstream colleagues are cheering on the censorship in r/bitcoin.

One side - your side specifically maaku and that of your employer blockstream - loses complete legitimacy when they start censoring posts and spoofing Satoshi's email address.

Lmao. That looks as far away from something Satoshi would say, note how all the points of the "block minimalists" are mentioned, as night and day. And Satoshi being reasonably smart would know that he needs some sort of evidence t

Two developers, nullc and pieter are against increasing the blocksize at a reasonable rate. Gavin, Jeff Garzik and Mike Hearn wish to increase it by early next year. Following some three months of debate, an agreement could not be reached,

r/bitcoin is being censored right now (quite ironic), so thought maybe you hackers can have a discussion about the upcoming bitcoin fork in regards to the blocksize. Some suggest that bitcoin blocks should remain at 1mb, which currentl

"Explaining the lack of such attacks in practice requires significant additional modeling assumptions." Yes, the main assumption being that burning such huge resources would in any way be recouped by a simple double spend. A doubl

The author states that the bitcoins were stolen over time, however, the graph shows that between June and November 2011 there is a gap due to missing data. It then opens in November 2011 with a huge gap between actual btc and expected btc o

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Rome was not built in one day, but with small steps. If you wish change then you take small actions that of course do not build a palace today, but might do in 10 years. That basically translates to

Yet no website provides you with an add free version first or analytic free version first before asking for your consent. The way EU law is currently implemented by websites assumes consent making the whole exercise completely redundant.

There is evidence that the code was present on websites, but, the code was never functional, that is, it never mined bitcoins. Therefore it never breached any laws. As such, one has to wonder either whether the cyber fraud unit of the state

Those are absolute numbers. From 1 million to 5 million is a 500% increase. I doubt any nation has seen anywhere close to a 500% increase in their population numbers.
