Check out this address. Is it possible that Satoshi set this up to gather 1 Bitcoin? 1Bitcoin4sTP5c5SA4X1tZQ2azrgd5Ygfk

Anyone could have created the address since there is no single transaction link to the address to see how old the address have been and when it first receive Bitcoin to link it back to satoshi era anyone could have created it using vanitygen

If there was at least one incoming transaction, it would be possible to see when the wallet was created, but in this case, yes, there are no coins on the balance and this could be a new address. But, for example here: https://bitaddress.org/ You can see Donations: 1NiNja1bUmhSoTXozBRBEtR8LeF9TGbZBN and 36.67630218 BTC since 21.8.2011

The vanity address most likely has nothing to do with Satoshi. Anyone random could have been able to create it, including you if you have the resources/tools. It was very likely created just for fun and not to accumulate 1 Bitcoin as you think. There is even no information about who it is linked to online, so let's just relax

Let me guess,  you just created the address , then try to create  a connection  to  satoshi Here are some  list of similar vanity address that has received or more UTXOs: 1Bitcoin1Bb4tcKzLgeRp61Mm39WEKLjmo 1Bitcoin1PG66BkqRpqcF9hKmV99EjY7nW 1Bitcoin1F35czV5wYcRHmCoC5fNizajBj 1Bitcoin1Soon1Arrive1ZzzzzzwgVa2P (among others) There's  even : 1SatoshiNakamoto121111111114ULSQj 1SatoshiNakamoto111111Zzzzzziy2gd So what's  your  point? Even if that wallet receive 1 bitcoin anytime soon, there's  still nothing to discuss, or is it about donations

Actually, it's just a vanity and possibly generated by you, with no records on Google, no one mentions, no transaction records, and no signs that it was created by Satoshi. Meaning everyone can generate the same thing, adding Bitcoin to the BTC address. We already have some guide here for vanitygen or vanitysearch for segwit.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I once unearthed this strange story: 10,000 coins are still lying there, untouched. Our forum member disappeared somewhere; he's been gone for a long time. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5300660.0

Okay. I've  gone through it ( the thread ) but I can't   find any relationship between that thread and the current thread you just created, not sure what exactly  you're trying to get across either. Or are you trying to suggest  the key might be lost since 2017 ( even though this entirely new thread didn't metion anything about the particular thread). There's still no connection  between  every address mentioned on that thread  and the current"1Bitcoin..."  either.

Yes, I read and realized that there are a lot of such addresses, and the topic can be closed, but I don’t understand where our member “Puddinpop”, who invented mining on video cards, disappeared to.

I thought it was something like a wallet address created by Satoshi Nakamoto himself where it is a vanity address and yet there's no transaction records so I just thought that it's just a vanity address created by someone who made it into that. I think this address was created for this type of topic or make a trend but in my opinion, it wouldn't happen because everyone here knows that it's a vanity address and anyone can make it as long as the person have the resources and tools.

The address has no connection to Satoshi Nakamoto. You might suspect it if there were transactions associated with another address, but this address is empty, and there are no transactions within it. If the address had been connected to another old wallet, or to a wallet suspected to belong to Satoshi, we might suspect something, but in reality, there are no clues at all. As others have mentioned, such an address could have been created by anyone, and the process requires computing power. So, your guess is invalid, and maybe refuted. By the way, your question is quite strange, I think. Why would Satoshi accumulate 1 Bitcoin when he has so many?

The user walletrecovery has a rather poor trust summary. It is probably a bad idea to accept anything posted by this user at face value.
