No argument.

Possibly. Or they want to demonstrate strength. A nuke test does that. Remember that North Korea even faked one to look strong.

Anyone with a brain, having just invented a deliberately anonymous cryptocurrency that starts to take off, would NOT EVER touch the seed coins, especially once it became obvious that everyone was watching their movement.

The second that stuff moves, Bitcoin value tanks AND the ultimate destination of all those coins becomes international news. Hardly anonymous.

No, whoever they were, and for literally whatever reason they started the project, they would have created other additional accounts later on, capitalised on those, had no connection to the original accounts, and still be a billionaire now. But just one of hundreds / thousands of others that are all untraceable and not really being watched.

And when Bitcoin mixing services came out, they'd have been all over it - just to preserve anonymity if nothing else.

We know precisely one thing about Satoshi - and that's that they don't want to identify themselves. Maybe there is $138bn sitting in an account they could in theory get access to. But it would immediately reveal information about themselves that may well work against them - taxation authorities would be all over it, press, public, every penny would be traced to its final destinations, etc.

So even if they only had, say, a couple of million in another account... they'd use that. Not everyone wants to be a stupendous billionaire in the public eye. You have to be a bit of a sociopath to be a billionaire at all. And then think of things like security, press, public scrutiny, etc.

Maybe they've got enough to live a life of luxury, that they've properly declared, never have to work again and, ultimately... still stay absolutely anonymous.

The one thing we know is that they understand anonymity. Why on earth would we ever expect them to do the most stupid thing ever and reveal themselves, rather than just hide amongst a large crowd and enjoy the rest of their life?

You are deranged. Wiregard and TOR are FOSS. It is basically impossible to hide a "master key" in that. And no, that is NOT how Tor works.

I have no idea why you are trying to spread lies, but please stop doing so.

Which somehow is not a surprise. Well, time to kick US monopolies to the curb.

Indeed. At least Europe is slowly catching on.

Ahahahahahaha, oh sweet summer child....

No "secure" boot does not protect you.

You can disable secure boot. But Microsoft clearly has too much power and too little oversight and consequences for when they screw up.

What does that statement even mean? It sounds like marketing gibberish.

Thanks. But expecting that type of blithering idiot to have any insight into themselves is really futile.

Don't bother. For the MAGA cretins, it is always the others that do all the evil. Classical extreme lack of insight into themselves. I mean, currently they support murder, rape, rape of children, war-crimes and a few other utterly evil things.

No. Clearly not within their skillset.

Provide actual requirements. Object detection doesn't require a data center or a rack of GPUs. Other things might.

Hahahaha, indeed it looks like it. That said, you can learn a log from WWII how propaganda claims and reality relate to each other.

The law does not count for much in the US these days, hence I have no problems believing that. Apparently, they have noticed something if they stayed away from devices outside of the US though.
