However, after Satoshi Nakamoto, who claimed to be "real", published a self-incriminating article, the practitioners in cryptocurrency industry did not seem to show great interest. Perhaps, the whole industry turned a blind eye to the topic "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?".
In fact, in the early years, "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto" was a hot topic, and many media, computer geeks and blockchain enthusiasts have been looking for Satoshi Nakamoto.
In 20 14, Newsweek reported that it discovered Satoshi Nakamoto himself-Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto. On September 13 of the same year, Satoshi Nakamoto, who had been hidden for a long time, suddenly posted a post denying the matter. Later, Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto also said that he was not the founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Later, CSW (Craig steve wright) stood up and said, "I am Satoshi Nakamoto". Gavin Andresen, the adoptive father of Bitcoin and the former leader of the core development team of Bitcoin, also supported CSW, and later Gavin Anderson regretted it. But even today, CSW has always claimed to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto, and people in the industry gave him the title of "Oppenheim".

How is Satoshi Nakamoto completely anonymous? In the article "The World's Human Flesh Search Helpless", the vernacular blockchain introduces several Satoshi Nakamoto versions circulating in the market: 1, Alien; 2. Future travelers; 3. Has passed away; 4. A team; 5. British.
Many people may have a question. If the real Satoshi Nakamoto is still alive, how can he prove that he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto?
In fact, in recent years, there have been many articles and forum posts about "How to prove that you are Satoshi Nakamoto". For example, Wired magazine published an article entitled "How to prove that you are Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin" in April 20 16.
Among many self-authentication methods in Satoshi Nakamoto, private key signature is the most reliable one. Bian CEO Zhao Changpeng (CZ) once said:
On June 38, 2009+October 3, 2009/kloc-0, Satoshi Nakamoto created a bitcoin creation block (with a height of 0), and wrote on it "The Times 03/Jan/2009' s second rescue channel for banks" (at this time, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer was forced to consider the second rescue of the banking crisis. )"
Because of its design, the 50BTC bonus in Chuangshi Block cannot be transferred or consumed, but the private key corresponding to the 50BTC bitcoin address can be used to sign other messages.
In addition, on June 9, 2009, the 14 block (block height 1, 14) of the bitcoin network was dug up, and the block rewards of this 14 block were stored in 14 different bitcoin addresses. Among them, 1 bitcoin address (50 BTC storage addresses, with a block height of 9) was transferred to Halfeni on June 65438+ 10/2, 2009, and the rest 12.
These 14 bitcoin addresses are also recognized by the industry as Satoshi Nakamoto-controlled addresses. If you want to authenticate yourself to Satoshi Nakamoto, you can transfer the bitcoin from these addresses.
CSW (Satoshi Aomoto) has always claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, and proved it in a way similar to "zero knowledge proof" (describing/providing some events/materials in the process of creating Bitcoin, etc.). ), but most people in the industry don't buy it because he has always refused (or disdained) to prove it with a private key.
How to prove Satoshi Nakamoto? On Bitcointalk, a netizen gave a "divine reply": If you want to ask others, you are not Satoshi Nakamoto.
