Really big claims going on here without any solid evidence. What is the point of this, to distract from eth pump?

Shit, did I leave the stove on?

I think Craig Wright botched up his play big time. If he was the real Satoshi Nakamoto he wouldn't have needed the approval of any Bitcoin expert because he could have provided public proof accessible by the whole Bitcoin community and should not have tried to seek the authority of other people. If Bitcoin is decentralized by design Satoshi doesn't need to employ centralization to get verified in the first place.

I really do not know what I have to believe but honestly I do believe that he is Satoshi but of course its not 100% that he is.
On the other hand if he is we can finally close the chapter about SN.

Satoshi already closed that chapter a while ago. Nothing left to close.

Assuming CSW is trying to pull a hoax, he knows he is vulnerable to a fast, simple exposure anytime SN wants to expose him, unless CSW knows SN can't or won't do that. Can't, as in Dave Kleiman, can't.

Dave had the goods, and died with them, beyond CSW's reach. That's why no signature, no coin movement, no nutthin.

I don't know why people are assuming the worst of Gavin. Even if he's a smart guy, it isn't out of the question that he got tricked by a really smart con-man.

I think it's a lot less likely that Gavin would risk his reputation on something that obviously won't work like this.

In the position Gavin has, he can't be simply be fooled like that.
Losing his commit permission was a smart decision of the Bitcoin Team.

Also, good to see that people already found proof enough to just show that Craig is just an attention whore wanting some money to pay his taxes problems.

But he can make obvious lies that he obviously knows will be found out in a matter of hours? Come on.

This thread has fairly exploded today. Final conclusion after page one is the craig wright is definitely not satoshi and bbc are a bunch of muppets. All in all pretty disappointing.

I am not Craig Wright.

Sure you aren't... can you prove it by not signing something with a key that's known to be Craig Wright's? Yeah... I thought so Craig! Grin

I suspect making Craig Wrigt SN is someone's feeble attempt to lay a copyright claim on Bitcoin. And only bankers are this low."

The BBC published another story about the growing scepticism. Regarding the proof shown to Gavin, it quotes Gavin as saying:

Quote

"It is impossible to prove something like that 100%."

Even he admits there's a slight chance he got tricked.

Quote

About two weeks ago I was contacted and asked to offer security advice for a project. I was asked to sign an NDA in order to discuss the project itself, something I am reluctant to do, in general. Once I received the NDA however, it became obvious that the project was related to verifying the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. I immediately declined the offer, declined to participate and declined to sign the NDA.

I'm sure many people will think I was wrong to decline the "opportunity" to verify SN's identity. From my perspective, the request for me to verify his/her/their identity is in itself an appeal to authority. It is replacing public cryptographic proof with endorsement by a third party. If SN wants to "prove" their identity, they don't need an "authority" to do so. They can do it in a public, open manner. To ask people in the space who have a reputation to stake that reputation and vouch for SN's identity raises many red flags in my mind.

I don't know if Craig Wright is SN. I don't care and I don't want to know.

As I have expressed many times in the past, I think the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto does not matter. More importantly I think it serves to distract from the fact that bitcoin is not controlled by anyone and is not a system of Appeal-to-Authority. Identifying the creator only serves to feed the appeal-to-authority crowd, as if SN is some kind of infallible prophet, or has any say over bitcoin's future.

Identity and authority are distractions from a system of mathematical proof that does not require trust. This is not a telenovela. Bitcoin is a neutral framework of trust that can bring financial empowerment to billions of people. It works because it doesn't depend on any authority. Not even Satoshi's.

Back to work.

So, Gavin had no qualms with signing the NDA, eh?
