Talk:Satoshi Nakamoto

Original research claim of Satoshi's alma mater
"California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (alleged)" was added to the infobox as Satoshi's Alma mater. There must be a reliable source for any allegations according to WP:NOR, but none has been found for the claim about Satoshi's alma mater. Could someone please remove it or provide a credible source?

I've also observed that the same user added this information a year ago, which was subsequently removed following the creation of a discussion topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Satoshi_Nakamoto/Archive_1#Erroneous_alma_mater_claim." WaterDrinkingHuman (talk) 20:38, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @WaterDrinkingHuman, one of the people proposed to be Nakamoto attended that school, but since the true identity of the subject of the article is unconfirmed, it doesn't belong in the infobox. I've removed it. Schazjmd   (talk)  20:45, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Nakamoto owns between 750,000 and 1,100,000 bitcoin. In November 2021, when Bitcoin hit its still-highest value of over US$68,000, that would have made his net worth up to US$73 billion, making him the 15th-richest person in the world at the time.

The all time high reached in 2021 for bitcoin was beaten on March 11, 2024. On this day Bitcoin reached US$72,344.82. Moyzee0125 (talk) 14:51, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Change “still highest value of $68,000” to “current highest value of $72,000” AND anything else relatable to this. Ensure to re-edit every now and then to keep accurate.

 * I removed the phrase "still-highest", but didn't touch the rest. The citation verifies his net worth as of November 2021, we cannot extrapolate from this to update his current net worth. Jamedeus (talk) 19:27, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

I feel that there should be an explanation of the Len Sassaman testimonial in the blockchain that was eternalised that way after he committed suicide in 2011. Otherwise the image in the Satoshi Nakamoto article is kind of inexplicable.

Use this text form Sassaman's page to fix it.

A presentation given by Kaminsky at the 2011 Black Hat Briefings revealed that a testimonial in honor of Sassaman had been permanently embedded into Bitcoin's blockchain.

I propose something like:

In 2021, developer Evan Hatch proposed cypherpunk Len Sassaman of COSIC as a possible candidate.[80] Sassaman had been mentioned on bitcointalk on 15 March 2013 when a user suggested Sassaman was Satoshi.[81] It's already quite remarkable that Sassaman's image was eternalised in the Bitcoin blockchain shortly after his suicide in the summer of 2011.

 * I copied the text and ref from Len Sassaman. I did not use your suggested wording. Schazjmd   (talk)  16:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to add Isamu Kaneko in Possible identities section between Hal Finney and Dorian Nakamoto based on this post

https://link3.to/orblabs/post/6cf04054fe2a49ffa95ff3cd541499de2f00d2736ac54eedefced1c2732e3408

Here is my summary of the above post. I'd like to add this summary on this Wikipedia page.

Isamu Kaneko (July 1st 1970 - July 6th 2013) was a Japanese computer scientist and programmer well known as the creator of Winny, P2P file sharing software inspired by Freenet, released in January 2002. Mr.masa, serial tech entrepreneur and angel investor in blockchain space who founded Orb, Modular Architecture DPoS based Layer1 which was acquired by SBI in 2018, argue that, based on Hal Finney’s post about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto on Bitcoin forum, it’s convincingly possible to identify Isamu Kaneko as Satoshi Nakamoto with five reasons.

Firstly, considering his outstanding technical capability and academic background which was also proved by his creating Winny alone, Isamu Kaneko could design and build Bitcoin.

Secondly, Winny is the clear evidence for Isamu Kanako as a Cypherpunk. And, through his friendship with Kenji Saito in MITOH program who was ex Chief Architect of Orb, and invented iWAT, P2P Community Currency System in 2003, it’s quite natural that he shows his interest in creating cryptographic P2P money system.

Thirdly, because of his arrest by Japanese police department and conviction as guilty against his creation of Winny in 2004, he had a clear reason to hide his identity very carefully in order to avoid his second arrest against his invention of Bitcoin. But, he gave us a hint to his identity: he used Japanese name, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Fourthly, he can write (not speak) in English fluently. This means, there is no way for us to conclude he is native English speaker simply because writing fluent English is much easier than speaking fluently. Also, smart person like Satoshi Nakamoto shall be able to write in English very well with using some translation application and also post his messages to the forum or email with using his own software programs to disguise his actual life cycle in order to keep his anonymity carefully.

And finally, within all potential candidates, only Hal Finney and Isamu Kaneko already died, which convinced us why Satoshi Nakamoto never sell his 750K to 1.1M BTC until now.

Thus, we can conclude Isamu Kaneko is Satoshi Nakamoto. He is the only person matches all clues to identify the creator of Bitcoin. mr.masa also criticized that Authoritarians in Japan killed Isamu Kaneko socially. Mrmasa88 (talk) 14:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
