This will help. ... Its a browser plugin they are working on.
Its new... Basicly it picks out images from web pages, and uses facial reconstruction to "find" faces. Then it catalogs them, and allows people to search the web using facial data. Its basicly a Human Face search engine. http://www.polarrose.com/ I dont believe its finished, but the company should know what we are doing. They will want to help, if only for publicity.

Re: Ideas..Sort of
Go make a Threadless Shirt. www.threadless.com Post the idea on a public board somewhere and get people to vote on it. If it gets good votes, Threadless will sell the shirts. then Threadless will be infected with Satoshi as well. All the voters will see it and wonder. WTF is this. and then they will be infected. ... And then we will have shirts wandering around the world looking for Satoshi. Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2007 2:54 pm |

Re: polarrose
Yep, noticed that in the Guardian's tech section and have emailed them suggesting we could help spread the word about what they're doing (pointing out some of the media outlets Satoshi has been mentioned in lately) - they're still a startup company so they may be interested. Stay tuned!  Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2007 8:36 am |

I think we should all thank you Laura for the work you're doing trying to find Satoshi, I still haven't heard from MC whether the Satoshi registered to play has anything to do with it, if you have any contacts there Laura could you possibly find out so that we can cross it off the list ? Thanks again and keep up the good work Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2007 7:44 am |

Article about this website in the paper. It's a facial recognition device which links pictures on the web. I've signed up for the beta, waiting. Not sure whether it would help from their description. Problem would be of course that there are now hundreds of pictures which we've posted, so finding another source would be more complicated. If anyone who's more in this world wants to talk to the people, and persuade them that with the end of the game, they might get some publicity, their website is www.polarrose.com. Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but I couldn't find anything through search.

Yep, it was me! http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2820107 The site was also on David Pogue's New York Times blog and Aleks Krotoski's Guardian games blog. (Before that it was on Neatorama and then Digg, where it was on the front page. And, I have already checked out both of the leads proposed in the comments on several of these -- neither one is our guy.) I'm working on Wired, NPR and others! Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2007 11:54 pm |

That's pretty cool, and just made me think of something that I really should have thought of before. 
One of my wife's friends has a brother who is a writer for The Soup on E! (http://www.eonline.com/on/shows/thesoup/). I should get in touch with him and see if they wouldn't mind doing something. Granted they would make fun of it, but I could see them doing something like a weekly "Where is Satoshi now?" segment or something. In any case, that would be huge exposure.

I think I read on Perplexorum earlier that the Satoshi hunt has now been featured on ABC - maybe it was somewhere else I'm pretty tired today

New ideas, at least I hope so
I blame spam for the lack of progress on the email front. It was a good idea, but too many people must be like me, and delete messages with cryptic subjects without reading them. Or not forwarding them on because people you know have complained about forwards.
Anyhoo, I was thinking of other things to try. I haven't really every message of this thread, but hopefully my searching skills were enough for me to avoid a trouting. Here's what I got: 1) I don't suppose anyone works for the CIA, FBI, Interpol, etc.. or knows someone who does. I bet you could do a pretty good face search in a place like that. Well, assuming you worked in the right area and didn't mind risking your job and possible federal prison time. 2) The YouTube video idea has been mentioned, and that could work. The right video can really make rounds, and even end up on national TV shows. I was thinking something along the lines of adding the website/picture/info at the beginning or end of the video. Of course, the video would have to be something special. Anyone out there mind jumping head first off their house into a pile of cinder blocks for Perplex City? No? Maybe just do something really goofy and put it to techno music. 3) I noticed that there is no Billion To One or PXC related Satoshi article on Wikipedia. That may get some hits. Too bad there isn't a way to make it the Wikipedia article of the day so lots of people would see it. 4) About as probable as #1, but anyone have a rich relative who wouldn't mind taking out a large ad in major newspapers? I think this has been mentioned before as well. That's all I have for now. Think I'll try to contact Pinky and The Brain. They could probably come up with something, although their success rate has been less than stellar. Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2007 4:54 pm |

This isn't completely useful, but I was exchanging comments with someone on my LJ regarding Operation Bayonet, and she apparently knew about finding Satoshi despite not having a plue what Perplex City is. So what we're doing is working to some extent.
(Anyone want to join me in the "Satoshi's on the 110th floor of Ascendancy Point" brigade?) Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2007 2:13 pm |

PXC Satoshi
Sadly the community pages don't tell you the information but working logically, if there are over 50000 players registered, Satoshi is number whatever it was, 39 thousand or something with 0 points. Therefore there must be another 11000 or so players joining after Satoshi which I would imagine would go back a few months at least and I wouldn't be surprised if Satoshi registering was around the time the 4th wave was released.
Anybody know any ways to check ? I have still had no reply from MC, does anyone know an email address I could try except the customer services one? Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2007 7:44 am |

Satoshi on PXC leaderboard
I searched for satoshi on the leaderboard a few weeks ago and couldn't find him but now as sirichj says, he is there. Is there any way of finding out when a player joined?
It may however just be a MC or fellow player joke! Posted: Wed Jan 24, 2007 4:18 am |
