Topic: As it turns out, Craig Wright actually is Satoshi! - page 12. (Read 13026 times)
Here we go again with this guy
If he is Satoshi then why can he not sign a Tx? It would take 1 minute and prove his claim with mathematics. 
I mean really, I'm supposed to believe that the guy who gave us trust-less cash wants us to just trust his word without proof?

Coindesk strikes again with article without sources. Haven't heard anything about Wright lately.
It's still rumors and I give no ears to to rumors. Coindesk is trying to continue the Bitcoin/Satoshi Controversy. For me, There's no need finding out who Satoshi actually is. If Satoshi wanted recognition, He would have done that a long time again.
I wouldn't be surprised if Dave Kleiman's name comes up again. He's the (dead) guy in Florida who was (supposedly) friendly with Craig Wright.
I was involved in the Bitcoin community from late 2010, and I remember interacting with Kleiman; he definitely had the right sort of skill set and personality.
I don't recall Wright, but it's possible he used a different handle.

WTF? This is turning out to be pretty weird. Why is the world starting to accept this as fact all of the sudden?

From that article:
Quote
Major news outlets are once again said to be conducting an investigation into the story, with releases coming out as early as next month.
So.... we just wait for the next month then?
I don't see any CREDIBLE statement in the article. Just a click-bait headline.
stupidity of Blockstreams puppets is incredible, their dullness is really unlimited. What do you hope to obtain from these filthy insinuations?
see how simple this drama can escalate to meander with simple name calling..
funny part is when someone pokes the bear by making an insinuation. the other side reacts. then the bear poker can play the victim card.
endless kardashian drama.
in short no one should care about the name drama. and instead be looking at what CODE decisions were made at the roundtable.
if you cant see that coindesk is causing fake social drama to distract sheep from asking about the code.. with distractions about 'who is satoshi'..
then you wont see what changes to the CODE will be until its too late
stupidity of BU and Roger Ver's puppets is incredible, their dullness is really unlimited. What do you hope to obtain from these filthy insinuations?
In any case, we can't know if satoshi was a single entity of a team of people. He used Tor, so it could have been 1 person or a couple. Any intelligent group of people wanting to pose as 1 person could have had the same person to talk in forums so there are no big differences in writing style to start the team rumors, so we can't know.
so i emboldened the part where even you say one person used the satoshi pseudonym.what is known.. only one person used the satoshi username
what is known.. other people did help satoshi.. eg hal finney, plus others.
but again for emphasis
what is known.. only one person used the satoshi username
oh and call me a troll all you like. simply because i am not hailing PEOPLE and BUSINESSES up as kings..
i think your missing the point of this topic.
no one should care about the people or businesses, and only care about the code.
if you would rather protect people and not care/protect the code and bitcoins ethos.. then this whole topic is lost on you
Rumor has it that President Trump is Satoshi Nakamoto, hence hanging a painting of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. In the next couple days he's gonna announce that his bitcoin hoard will finance the building of The Wall.
I heard about Craig Wright before but I doubt he is the real creator of Bitcoin. If he really was the one, he should come with real, actual proofs that he owns it, or that he created it. We also have to remember that we are living pretty tough times to make this claim and really be the creator of such an idea that "is used by criminals".
knowing barry silbert of coindesk also has ownership stake in blockstream im guessing it will be a story of how adam back(blockstream ceo) is "one of the 4" satoshi's
by talking about his 1997 hashcash.
it could also be looking at craig wrights first appearance in the bitcoin scene via a skype call at a different conference a couple years ago where nick szabo introduced craig wright.
thus saying its a 4 way team of
nick szabo,
craig wright,
adam back
and a mysterious 4th party.
sidenote.
adam back and szabo's concepts from years prior to bitcoin did inspire the single entity of satoshi. but adam back was not involved in bitcoins development, neither adam or nick the user behind the name satoshi,
nick did do something for bitcoin but again did not use the satoshi name.
in short its one mysterious single party who is satoshi.. and the other 3 are non-satoshi's, but just trying to get some notoriety for different reasons
.. well thats my 2 cents

There are way bigger chances thtat Adam Back or Nick Szabo are satoshi than Craig Wright, he just lacks the talent.
You don't want to fathom the possibility of Adam Back being either satoshi or part of the satoshi team because you are an anti blockstream troll, that's all. But at the end of the day, Adam Back is forever part of Bitcoin history as he is credited by satoshi in the whitepaper, and will always be a potential satoshi/part of satoshi team like it or not.
In any case, we can't know if satoshi was a single entity of a team of people. He used Tor, so it could have been 1 person or a couple.

This is all boiled dog's fault I only blame him, what the fack do we care about Satoshi? I think people have seen all these shitcoins with their devs stick around with a mouse and keyboard now they think bitcoin was developed for the same reason which is polo bitrex pump it we promise never dump it story.
I bet Craig Wright strangled the real Satoshi in his home now wants to claim his identity as well or maybe Gavin had a hand in this and buried the founder but they were unable to open the wallet containing all the private keys but just recently had a success to breaking the encryption and will provide us with the undeniable evidence right?
I'm dedicating this to rawww yo Dog!

Maybe Matonis and Gavin
what if i told you that coindesk ceo barry silbert, pays matonis a wage via coindesk
what if i told you barry silbert pays gavin via barry's investment/ownership stake in Bloq
what if i told you barry silbert pays gmaxwell via barry's investment/ownership stake in Blockstream
and its just a big finger pointing distraction for clickbait and drama for the last 2 years to get people to take their eye off the ball
EG when politics get serious and real lives can be affected and wars begin.. bring in some kardashian drama to settle the sheep back to sleep so they dont notice the real concerns happening in the opposite direction
Speaking of clickbait, read the following article three times through, then see if it makes any sense to you: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/man-accidentally-makes-13-million-buying-house-bitcoin/ My opinion is that the worse YouTube testimony of EThtrade is more convincing to me than what I read there.
What I see is an overpaid coindesk writer trying to conjure up a story and failing. Miserably. There's no proof, no new evidence that anything whatsoever has come up questioning the common knowledge they Craig Wright is a fraud.

This is what really happened at the Satoshi Roundtable:
Attendee 1: This is boring. Let's play the drinking game.
<45 minutes later>
Attendee 2: Dudes, this is fun. What next?
Attendee 3: Let's start a rumor.
Attendee 2: Like Bruno fucks goats? hehehe.
Attendee 3: I said a rumor, drunkface.
Attendee 1: I know. We can ... we can ... Shit, I lost my thought.
Attendee 5: Let's start a rumor that Satoshi Nakamoto is really ...
Attendee 15: Excuse me for speaking outta of turn, but I have to go and throw-up, but before I do I wanna say Craig Steven Wright. Byeeeeeeee.
Random Attendee: What the fuck did we do last night?
Another Random Attendee: No fuckin clue. Must have been the Romulan Ale we all drink. And who hid all our pants? And is your butt sore, too?
Maybe Matonis and Gavin

franky1 is now also an enemy of fungiblity and not just decentralization? color me surprised.
seriously?
im not an enemy of fungibility..
im an enemy of bloated transactions using failed Pedersen commitment idea that permanently bloats up a transaction but ends up only giving about a couple weeks of secrecy.
here is the issue with your commitments. if people are to mix funds and move funds for your confidential transactions to work where funds A and funds B, when being spent must equal the same as funds C.. then many people need to use the same commitment for the math to work.
as soon as someone knows the commitment. it can all be decoded.
same as the concern of the other separate problem of "address re-use". i see rusty russel is very quiet about the "address reuse" issue which will cause an issue for LN.
try to think beyond the positivies of your short term use strategies to offer a feature and instead think about scenario's of length of utility before the utility itself becomes a weakness.. try to be critical of your own code, not plaster it with utopian dream advertising, while sweeping the risks under the carpet.
you love giving people hope and empty promises or features offering empty short term gestures, but you dont give the community what they really need.
and thats why i lost all respect for you.
Just watched Banking on Bitcoin, a great bitcoin documentary that talks a lot about this issue and point to this man I think. Recommend you all see it, available freely you know at many torrent sites and so on...
So you say that the guy has the private keys for a ton of money and he stays in debt instead of living a luxury life?
I don't understand this logic. Are you sure you didn't miss anything?
In my logic any sane man would have touched that money already. Unless he has lost - for whatever reason - the private keys or he's dead.
According to Wright, all those Bitcoins were put in a trust and he couldn't get to them for some time - which was part of some agreement. It's been a while but I believe he was trying to find a way to get them back early. My gut feeling is that he's gonna need them if he has any big plans for an alt-coin which means he probably found a way. With enough money and connections any contract can be broken.
It's best to be prepared by assuming a worst case scenario.
Proving Wright is Satoshi wouldn't end by rift as both sides of the civil war are entrenched, well backed and determined. What it would give them is leverage and a justifiable reason to successfully split Bitcoin which will only lead to a bigger war.
You have to ask if committing career suicide is worth that cause without a doubt if they knew Wright didn't have proof they would be found out.
As for how smart Gavin and Matonis are - all the real world evidence, before this ordeal, supports high intelligence and a well developed sense of discernment.
Everyone here is assuming the improbable to be true which is senseless and financially dangerous if you hold Bitcoin.

I don't hold BTC, technically it is a dead end. Writings been on the wall for over 6 months now.
The masses are a little slow to catch on, but they should figure it out in the next 12 to 18 months.
Not a chance. How did you say so that this will be the end while it is very hot to people in contratry. I think it will just pump for the next 12months as you predicted considering that bitcoin community will be grow more this year.
