Nakamoto

Researcher Finds an Old Twitter Profile May Have Been Satoshi Nakamoto’s Account

22/02/2021 by Idelto Editor

On February 22, 2021, an author published a post on substack.com about an anonymous Twitter account that may have belonged to the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. The researcher discovered a Twitter account dubbed ‘Goldlover,’ and found some interesting coincidences with the account’s tweets and Bitcoin’s creator.

The Curious Goldlover Tweets

An author called Varun published an interesting analysis of a specific Twitter account that may or may not belong to Bitcoin’s creator. Varun said in his research analysis that he stumbled upon the Twitter account called ‘Goldlover,’ and noticed that the account was quite “chatty” for a period of time.

The researcher also said that Satoshi Nakamoto was the same way up until the inventor left the community for good. The Goldlover account (@fafcffacfff) was created in May 2008 and Varun says that a script was written. The Goldlover tweets mentioned gold quite often, and Varun’s findings suggest that the ‘gold’ terminology may be in reference to “Bit Gold.”

“On September 17th, 2008, this account made a reference to Digital Gold Currency,” Varun’s post highlights. “In between an incredible amount of nonsensical tweets about gold, sometimes there would be tweets which referenced decentralization, financial crisis, people losing their homes, fiat currency, criticism of the Federal Reserve,” Varun says. “These are all hallmarks of talking points used by Satoshi in his emails and forum posts which are well known, post-Bitcoin announcement.”

For instance, on December 19, 2008, Goldlover said:

The Great Stock Panic of 2008 was so mercilessly brutal that no sector escaped its ravages.

What is also quite interesting is that no other Twitter accounts back in January 2009, except for Hal Finney, tweeted about Bitcoin. “Based on all of this, this is good enough for me to feel quite confident that this indeed was Satoshi’s original anonymous Twitter account,” Varun notes.

On January 11, 2009, Hal Finney tweeted about the crypto asset and not too long after that Goldlover wrote: “From: Satoshi Nakamoto – 2009-01-11 22:32 Bitcoin v0.1.2 is now available for d.”

The very same day on January 29, 2009, Goldlover also said:

It’s completely decentralized with no server or trusted parties.

Exploring the Limitless Depths of Satoshi’s Mind

Ever since Varun published his post about the alleged Satoshi Nakamoto Twitter account, people have been interacting with Goldlover’s 12-year-old tweets.

“Thanks for changing the world Satoshi,” an individual wrote on Monday.

If you know where there are oranges in the sky in Winter Garden, you are on the right track for locating a treasure box.

“Feeling sufficiently anonymous with this cryptic account run since May 2008, this might have been a slip to now start linking up and showing up as the 2nd tweet ever to mention Bitcoin,” Varun’s substack.com blog post states. “If Hal was Satoshi, then why continue tweeting from this unknown account, which barely had any followers?” Varun asks. The researcher said that he could have slept in every Saturday morning, but this Twitter account had him on the hunt for Nakamoto.

The report concludes:

Having concluded this was Satoshi – we don’t know who, the rest of the tweets now provide an insight into his mindset, and each tweet here needs to be branched out and explored in limitless depths.

At the end of Varun’s theory, he left a mysterious tweet from Goldlover which talks about a treasure box with oranges in the sky.

“If you know where there are oranges in the sky in Winter Garden, you are on the right track for locating a treasure box,” Goldlover tweeted.

Just recently, a group of armchair sleuths have been on the hunt for Satoshi’s stash of bitcoins, because they believe Nakamoto left the coins to be the greatest treasure hunt ever. Despite the coincidences and the extremely old and cryptic tweets from Goldlover, we don’t know for sure if the Twitter account actually belonged to Satoshi, but today many people are speculating.

What do you think about the Goldlover Twitter account that may belong to Satoshi Nakamoto? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.

Online Sleuths Believe Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin Stash Is a Blockchain Treasure Hunt Meant to Be Found

07/02/2021 by Idelto Editor

Over the last twelve years, the cryptocurrency community has always been intrigued by Bitcoin’s inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. For over a decade, armchair sleuths and journalists have tried to uncover the creator’s identity and information on the whereabouts of all the bitcoins the enigma mined when the network was still in its infancy. Now a few individuals believe Satoshi’s coins may be the greatest prize competition ever and the private keys are somehow hidden within the blockchain.

Maybe Satoshi Nakamoto Left a Message?

Just recently, some members of the forum bitcointalk.org have been discussing a new theory surrounding the infamous Satoshi Nakamoto. For years now, the hunt for Nakamoto has been quite the quest and so far, no one has been able to uncover the creator’s identity or find the inventor’s stash of BTC.

It is well known that Nakamoto mined bitcoin and it is estimated that the cryptocurrency creator may have acquired roughly 750,000 BTC to 1.1 million BTC. News.Bitcoin.com has written about Satoshi’s stash on a myriad of occasions including on April 17, 2019. In that particular article, it was reported that RSK Labs chief scientist, Sergio Demián Lerner, had published a new report concerning Satoshi’s alleged holdings.

The RSK chief scientist has uncovered a lot in regard to the thousands of blocks Satoshi may have mined. Lerner also published a blog post in 2013 called “A new mystery about Satoshi hidden in the Bitcoin block-chain,” which discusses an interesting nonce field found in the blocks he called the ‘Patoshi’ pattern.

Basically a “nonce” or “number only used once” in Bitcoin terminology is a 32-bit (4-byte) field or a non-repeating value that is included in a mined block. When miners mine bitcoin blocks the goal is to find a hash below or equal to the network’s current target. Lerner’s mystery talks about the distribution of the nonce’s least significant byte (LSB).

What Lerner had found was that the LSB in Satoshi’s alleged blocks were not distributed uniformly and the researcher’s blockchain analysis came to a few conclusions.

At first, he thought that it could be his blockchain parser not working correctly. Or it could mean that Satoshi was mining bitcoins with something “very different from a PC,” Lerner said. “But f this is true, then it has far-reaching consequences: Satoshi foresaw the advantage of FPGA/ASIC much sooner than everybody else,” the researcher added.

Then Lerner thought of a third reason, and that it could mean Satoshi discovered a flaw in SHA-2. But the RSK chief scientist said that “this is highly improbable.” But lastly, Lerner thought that maybe Satoshi left a message fingerprinted in the nonces.

“A Message for us to see in a distant future,” Lerner wrote at the time. “The number of nonces that fall into each byte value or histogram,” he added.

Armchair Detectives Hope to Solve the ‘Greatest Prize Competition’

This mystery has led the group of theorists over at bitcointalk.org to believe that maybe Satoshi’s early mined coins are actually an extremely valuable treasure hunt. A forum account dubbed ‘Old gold digger’ believes that the existence of so many distinguishers says that whoever mined these bitcoin blocks “wanted his/her blocks to be identified.”

There have been others who have alluded to this theory in the past on the forum. “Satoshi left a message fingerprinted in the nonces,” Old gold digger wrote. “A Message for us to see in a distant future.”

The individual added:

Maybe Satoshi created the greatest prize competition and the private keys are somehow within the blockchain.

There are many others who have been interested in Old gold digger’s theory and a number of people have responded to the forum thread.

“This reminds me of the ‘Ready player one’ plot presented in the first book, where Haliday is the equivalent of Satoshi now,” an individual said in response to the post. “If indeed there is an encrypted treasure hidden that would be exciting,” he added. Meanwhile, others left a few links to possible clues about the possibility that a message was fingerprinted in the nonces.

“Would love to know the answer,” Old gold digger said in the thread. “Do you think it’s a bit odd that he used a proprietary Base58 for the address encoding and just happens that you’re seeing the spike between values 0-57?” he asked others. “I know it’s probably just coincidence but it would be amazing if there was a secret message in the LSB to explain this,” Old gold digger emphasized.

Moreover, back in June 2019, an account called ‘Threadsupport’ published an open letter to Satoshi asking the inventor straight up if there was “a bitcoin prize competition.”

“We think that you have created a bitcoin prize competition and that the private keys are somehow within the blockchain,” Threadsupport wrote at the time. “We are trying to solve it and will move the rewarding coins. If you want to add something to that statement, please don’t hesitate,” the forum user added. Further, if Nakamoto actually did mine 1 million BTC, then all the coins could be located in 20,000 separate addresses with 50 coins each.

‘Lost Coins Only Make Everyone Else’s Coins Worth Slightly More- Think of It as a Donation to Everyone’

There have always been discussions about the fact that someday, Satoshi Nakamoto could end up being the richest person in the world. But that’s assuming the inventor is keeping them all to himself/herself and the creator will always be in possession of these coins. As the armchair sleuths on bitcointalk.org have been discussing, it is possible they were left for us to find.

The sleuths have also alluded to an article dubbed “The Mysterious 19,” which leverages Lerner’s ‘Patoshi pattern,’ but also said Lerner’s “second finding about the anomaly in the Least-Significant-Byte (LSB) of the nonce field of block headers really got his attention.”

The author of the research adds:

So maybe this weird behavior of LSB value of 19 is telling me to start looking at this whole thing in a different way.

Lastly, the online detectives also discussed Satoshi’s famous lost coins quote: “Lost coins only make everyone else’s coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.” Maybe, Satoshi wasn’t talking about coins lost over time, but the creator’s stash hidden inside the blockchain via text or a myriad of messages.

“Whoever is able to solve it, is the chosen person that Satoshi expects to succeed,” an individual wrote in the bitcointalk.org conversation. “It’s like a place to determine Satoshi’s legacy for us in the future. Is this a contest? A pirate treasure?” he asked.

What do you think about the possibility that Satoshi Nakamoto’s bitcoins could be a prize or a treasure hunt to find? Let us know what you think about this subject in the comments section below.

New Report Studies Satoshi Nakamoto’s Inconsistent British and American Writing Techniques

07/01/2021 by Idelto Editor

On December 31, 2020, a new report was published that studies Satoshi Nakamoto’s writing style, the creator’s use of expressions, and spelling. The new examination shows Satoshi’s spelling and American and British wording indicates it was very inconsistent and littered with misspellings as well. The research suggests the inconsistencies might have been done purposefully and were possibly part of the inventor’s operations security.

A Closer Look at Satoshi Nakamoto’s Spelling and the Inventor’s American and British English Writing Techniques

One of the most intriguing stories in the cryptocurrency space is the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, the man, woman, or group that created bitcoin. Over the last 12 years, people have dedicated lots of time toward searching for the Bitcoin inventor’s location, Satoshi’s writing patterns, and the many messages that Satoshi wrote before leaving the community. On the eve of 2021, a study published on the website ungeared.com called “The Strange Story of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Spelling Choices: Part 1,” a study that looks into the Satoshi Nakamoto mystery.

The researchers at ungeared.com scrutinized Satoshi Nakamoto’s writing style, misspellings, and the use of American and British-English expressions found throughout the creator’s many messages. Ungeared.com’s study also discusses how people often talk about Satoshi’s use of British-English and how there’s been a number of stylometry investigations that produced little results. The researcher’s examination also mentions the series of controversial Satoshi videos published by the popular Youtuber “Barely Sociable.”

“We decided to subject Satoshi’s known writings (emails, posts, and the Bitcoin white paper) to a more rigorous statistical analysis,” explained the ungeared.com researchers. “In the first part of this study, we examine his spelling patterns.” The study’s author adds:

Satoshi’s spelling was inconsistent in his choices of American vs. British-English.

The report stresses that the focus on spelling is a “more objective mathematical approach and is also less time-consuming.” So the researchers combed through all of Satoshi’s words and identified a number of interesting instances. “We managed to identify 108 such instances. The breakdown of these 108 occurrences is as follows: American – 52, British – 35 and Misspelled – 21,” the report notes. Ungeared.com’s report continues:

There were also several instances when Satoshi used alternate spelling norms on the same day and sometimes even within the same post or email.

The report found that from the very start Satoshi’s spelling was “inconsistent.” For example, the author notes how the Bitcoin inventor’s white paper has the British spelling “favour.” However, at the end of the paper Satoshi used the American-English term “characterized,” as opposed to writing the British spelling “characterised.”

“There is no apparent pattern to Satoshi’s spelling choices,” the author writes. “Moreover, at times, Satoshi would choose different spelling norms for the same word (or words belonging to the same stem group).”

Were Satoshi’s Inconsistencies Intentional? Or Was Nakamoto a Group of Multiple British and American Team Members?

The study summarized all the instances when Satoshi alternated between differing spelling techniques and found six other days with these instances in addition to the white paper. Ungeared.com’s study highlights the instance when Satoshi chose to use the word “optimization” and the same day he wrote “optimisation.” Additionally, the paper discusses spelling patterns consisting of both American and British during specific days of the week.

“While Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are dominated by American spelling, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays are split more or less evenly between the two, and finally, and on Thursdays, British English takes hold,” the author states. “Although it is not clear what conclusions can be drawn from this as this could be random too. We can also clearly see that Mondays were by far the busiest days of the week for Satoshi, followed by lazy Tuesdays.”

In addition, the report looks at whether or not the writing could be Canadian and it scrutinizes Satoshi’s use of American terminology as well. The study concludes that Satoshi did not habitually use a spell-checker and the inconsistencies of the inventor’s writings could’ve been done purposefully.

“It is possible that this was part of the plan all along – to throw us off his trail with irregular spelling,” Ungeared.com’s study concludes. “Another is that the Satoshi team consisted of multiple team members who were accustomed to different versions of the English language. Or perhaps, Satoshi was multicultural, someone who has lived in different parts of the English-speaking world – or, for instance, just someone who was born in the U.K. and then has worked as a programmer for a U.S.-centric company. And finally, it is possible that one of the Englishes was part of his operational security but Satoshi was inconsistent.”

Greg Maxwell Asks r/Bitcoin Admins to Remove a Thread About the Satoshi Spelling Study

Another interesting fact about this story, is that moderators from the Reddit forum r/bitcoin decided to remove a post about the study published by ungeared.com. It seems the former Blockstream software developer, Greg Maxwell, known as “nullc” on Reddit, didn’t like the study for some reason. After some debate, Maxwell then asked the moderator dubbed “bashco” to “do something” about the post and the moderators quickly took down the Reddit post on r/bitcoin.

The r/bitcoin moderators have been censoring quite some time, but this report wasn’t anti-bitcoin or pro-big block in any way, the author of the report told news.Bitcoin.com. “They just can’t tolerate any dissent,” he said.

“I think he got frustrated that he couldn’t win an intellectual debate, so he did what they do best – censor, block, and deplatform,” the researcher further told our newsdesk. The author also told news.Bitcoin.com about the next part of the series.

“In the second part of our study, we will apply the ‘Information categorization approach to literary authorship disputes’ developed by Dr. Albert Yang et al to the texts of popular Satoshi candidates to see if it can help identify the man or men who created Bitcoin,” the ungeared.com author said. “Dr. Yang managed to apply it successfully to such distinct cases as the attribution of Chinese 18th-century novels, Shakespearean plays, and the Federalist Papers.”

Bitcoin’s Inception: A 340-Page Book Compiles All of Satoshi’s Writings in Chronological Order

19/12/2020 by Idelto Editor

Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, first appeared on the web when the software programmer (or programmers) published the Bitcoin white paper on Halloween 2008. After the paper published and the crypto network launched, the inventor spent a little time with the community curating the project. People who are inspired by Nakamoto or like to research the engineer’s work can obtain a physical copy of Satoshi’s writings in its entirety from a book called “Kicking the Hornet’s Nest.”

Crypto proponents can now leverage a book called “Kicking the Hornet’s Nest: The Complete Writings, Emails, and Forum Posts of Satoshi Nakamoto, the Founder of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency.” The compendium of the Bitcoin creator’s writings was assembled by Mill Hill Books and is available in print form for $29.

All of the writings were collected and assembled chronologically “with almost no editorial commentary.” Many of the resources from the book stemmed from sites like nakamotoinstitute.org, bitcointalk.org, The Cryptography Mailing List at metzdowd.com, personal emails to and from Dustin Trammel (aka Druid), and personal emails from Mike Hearn and Hal Finney as well.

There is a bit of commentary in the “Notes from the Editor” section, which explains why the compendium of Nakamoto’s writings were assembled.

“Satoshi fired a shot across the bow of the financial powers-that-be,” the author writes. “Bankers, politicians, and the manipulators of the money supply have not been happy about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.”

The editor explains that after a decade the powers-that-be have been warming up to the idea of cryptocurrency and essentially “the inevitability” of this technology. Of course, financial incumbents are slow and cautious, the author insists.

The editor’s notes also suggest that the financial bigwigs are threatened by the fact that bitcoin gives “power, freedom, and responsibility to the individual.”

“As a boy, my brother and I would occasionally come upon a hornet’s nest while playing in the woods,” the editor said.

He added:

When we did, being boys, there was really nothing else to do but to throw a rock or stick at it, or kick it. Kicking a hornet’s nest isn’t rational, but just too tempting and just too much fun not to. And when you do it, you do it fast and then you run like hell.

The book’s editor writes a number of attributes Bitcoin’s creator had shown when he wrote, like the fact that he liked to double-space after a sentence is complete. Other insights taken from the chronological work of Nakamoto, was that Satoshi was polite, a good teacher, a clear communicator, a fantastic thinker, a heads-down programmer, and a person or group that “values privacy” the editor said.

Additionally, the author writes that it is noteworthy to acknowledge that “since Satoshi Nakamoto is unknown, Satoshi’s sex is unknown.”

The editor adds:

Satoshi may be a man, woman, or group. However, since サトシ is generally a male’s name in Japan, Satoshi is referred to here [in this book] using singular, male pronouns.

The book assembled by Mill Hill Books has a lot to digest, as Nakamoto wrote on bitcointalk.org 539 times and there are approximately 34 publicly known emails. The compendium of Nakamoto’s writings is 340-pages long and ends with the last message from Satoshi back in March 2014 when the programmer (or programmers) allegedly wrote:

I am not Dorian Nakamoto.

The editor does note that the authenticity of this particular message is not fully verified and the post has been debated for its legitimacy.

“Despite his focused, logical, business-minded tendencies, there seems to me to be a bit of boyishness about him,” the editor’s note concludes. “This is seldom shown, but it is there, revealed in his writings in rare glints. This leads to a final conclusion… Satoshi is human.”

Ten Years Ago Satoshi Nakamoto Logged Off – The Final Message from Bitcoin’s Inventor

13/12/2020 by Idelto Editor

Ten years ago today, the pseudonymous programmer (or programmers) Satoshi Nakamoto logged into the forum bitcointalk.org one last time, and left the Bitcoin community for good. The day prior Nakamoto wrote a final message to the crypto community by offering a quick build and telling developers that there’s more work to be done on denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

‘More Work to Do’

When Satoshi Nakamoto was around, Bitcoin’s inventor was a mysterious enigma and often led developers in the right direction from 2008 to 2010. Bitcoin’s creator also left a final message to the community when he/she or they added to the thread on bitcointalk.org called: “Added some DoS limits, removed safe mode.” The message was written over a decade ago on December 12, 2010, and Nakamoto stressed that “there’s more work to do.”

“There’s more work to do on DoS, but I’m doing a quick build of what I have so far in case it’s needed, before venturing into more complex ideas,” Nakamoto said at the time. “The build for this is version 0.3.19. Added some DoS controls. As Gavin and I have said clearly before, the software is not at all resistant to DoS attack. This is one improvement, but there are still more ways to attack than I can count. I’m leaving the -limitfreerelay part as a switch for now and it’s there if you need it. Removed “safe mode” alerts, ‘safe mode’ alerts was a temporary measure after the 0.3.9 overflow bug,” Bitcoin’s creator added.

Nakamoto further wrote:

We can say all we want that users can just run with ‘-disablesafemode,’ but it’s better just not to have it for the sake of appearances. It was never intended as a long term feature. Safe mode can still be triggered by seeing a longer (greater total PoW) invalid block chain.

‘Wikileaks Has Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, and the Swarm Is Headed Towards Us’

While bitcoin (BTC) was swapping for $0.20 per coin, Nakamoto left a great number of technical replies on the forum that month, which addressed the current Bitcoin build at the time. In fact, during the first two weeks of December 2010, Nakamoto was very active on the forum.

No one knows why the inventor left so abruptly, but Nakamoto had shown he was a bit upset the day before his very last bitcointalk.org forum message. This was because bitcoin was mentioned in a viral pcworld.com article called: “Could the Wikileaks Scandal Lead to New Virtual Currency?”

At the time, Wikileaks was blocked by a U.S. financial blockade and because Paypal, Mastercard, and Visa stopped servicing the nonprofit whistleblowers, Wikileaks leveraged bitcoin donations.

From Nakamoto’s responses to the Wikileaks subject, one can assume the crypto inventor was very annoyed by the attention the small little network was getting at the time.

“It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context,” Nakamoto stressed. “Wikileaks has kicked the hornet’s nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.”

Bitcoin was changing fast, and Nakamoto seemed to know that he was steadily losing some of the control and people were making up their own minds on how the cryptocurrency should be back then. The same day the Wikileaks article from pcworld.com published, Nakamoto also thanked Hal Finney in a post called: “minimalistic bitcoin client on D language?”

Six days prior to Nakamoto speaking about the pcworld.com editorial, he responded to someone who said “bring it on,” after hearing that Wikileaks was considering cryptocurrency acceptance. Again, Nakamoto seemed flustered and wasn’t a big fan of onboarding the nonprofit whistleblowing organization led by Julian Assange.

“No, don’t ‘bring it on,’” Nakamoto insisted. “The project needs to grow gradually so the software can be strengthened along the way. I make this appeal to Wikileaks not to try to use Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a small beta community in its infancy. You would not stand to get more than pocket change, and the heat you would bring would likely destroy us at this stage,” the inventor added.

‘I Am Not Dorian,’ Self-Proclaimed Satoshis, and Logging Off

Nakamoto’s appeal did not sway Wikileaks and soon after, the nonprofit began accepting bitcoin donations. Bitcoin’s inventor has not been heard from in over a decade, but there are a number of ostensible emails and messages from the creator that many assume stem from his legitimate accounts. For instance, when Newsweek published a story about Dorian Nakamoto being Bitcoin’s creator, a post published to p2pfoundation.ning.com on March 7, 2014 says: “I am not Dorian Nakamoto.”

Moreover, ever since Nakamoto left, there have been many self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamotos and even clues and messages that have been widely debunked. There are tales from individuals like Craig Wright, a man who has claimed to be Bitcoin’s inventor for the last five years. Although, Wright’s stories have been widely dismissed and debunked by the greater cryptocurrency community.

There was also that time when Bloomberg columnist, Matthew Leising, told people about a so-called Satoshi and published an alleged tell-all about the nakamotofamilyfoundation.org and an individual dubbed: ‘Duality.’ The patent holder and Hawaiian resident named Ronald Keala Kua Maria said he is Satoshi on a variety of website domains bearing the name “Bitcoin” and “Satoshi.”

A man with intense hair like Fabio believes he is Satoshi Nakamoto, but nobody believed Jörg Molt’s absurd story. In mid-August 2019, a PR firm called Ivy McLemore and the Pakastani Bilal Khalid said he was Bitcoin’s inventor. Of course, Khalid’s story was considered ridiculously unfathomable as well. A Belgium native called Debo Jurgen Etienne Guido has told the crypto community he is Satoshi Nakamoto on numerous occasions.

It has also been said that the 47-year-old cartel boss Paul Le Roux could have been Satoshi as well. Still, none of these suspects and self-proclaimed individuals have ever provided a smoking gun pointing in their direction and have always failed to sway the greater crypto community.

As far as recorded history is concerned, Satoshi Nakamoto left the Bitcoin community ten years ago on December 12, 2010, with his final message about adding some DoS controls. Almost everything else from that point forward has been suspect and lacking evidence of legitimacy.

After Bitcoin’s inventor published the post, the creator must have been curious about the responses and may have been prepared to write one last message. Nakamoto logged into bitcointalk.org on December 13, 2010, logged off, and has not been seen on the forum since then.
