Craig signed a message that I chose ("Gavin's favorite number is eleven. CSW" if I recall correctly) using the private key from block number 1.

That signature was copied on to a clean usb stick I brought with me to London, and then validated on a brand-new laptop with a freshly downloaded copy of electrum.

I was not allowed to keep the message or laptop (fear it would leak before Official Announcement).

I don't have an explanation for the funky OpenSSL procedure in his blog post.

Craig: Hi lol
Gavin: Who r u?
Craig: I'm Satoshi.
Gavin: Ok, sign this with the privkey to the coinbase in the genesis block: "I, Craig Steven Wright, am Satoshi Nakamoto. 15 April 2016."
Craig: Nah, why don't I fly you to London and I'll show you.
Gavin: Sounds great! I love London!
Craig: lol
Gavin: lol

I just posted a link to a BBC article in the Press subforum. I don't think it's that nobody cares, it's just you and me are firsties. Seriously the beeb article is, like, 5 minutes old.

agree with you In the BBC video it seems like he has actually signed a message? If that is true then it will maximize the chances of it being legit.

Wright was there in the beginning, along with some other people, but he's not the miner of the genesis block, nor the author of the white paper, nor the source of more than a little of the original code.

This thread should be removed really, when will people stop with this clickbait title madness?
Nothing has been "revealed". Just some con-artist scammer who managed to convince gullible people.
Where's the proof?

Only the title needs changing, the thread should stay so as to have somewhere to discuss this.

Theymos should stick a topic about this outrageous claim in this section in order to end this.
he has already posted this on reddit and sticked that on top on /r/bitcoin

How fing hard would it be for him to logon and post I AM SATOSHI from his SATOSHI account on the site that SATOSHI started when SATOSHI started Bitcoin?

As has been stated, the account was locked by theymos after a hack a long time ago.

EDIT: It would be interesting if theymos was able to contact this Wright guy and see if he can verify any part of the password to the Satoshi account... assuming theymos is able to see what the password was on the account?

it would have been a challenge but i guess theymos can make an exception. this time just to challenge wright

Regardless of the main question, IMHO it is good it happened just now.
Does anyone noticed the perfect timing?
a. Consensus 2016 is buzzing like shaken hornet nest - was it planned to happen in very middle of it?
b. BBC is the story carrier for millions of "Muggle" people - on last day of long weekend!
c. Close but not so close to halving - initial disturbance shall ease before ½ but buzz word effect may be another milestone for BTC growth.

I've always thought if Satoshi were to reveal himself it would be on bitcoin talk or to the mailing list with proof. The fact it was done via news agencies with no proof is very suspect in itself.

There are a hundred ways where Satoshi could cryptographically "announce" himself to the world, without involving any media or "trusted" parties to vouce for him. The forum, the blockchain, the mailing list, etc. After doing so, it would instantly be news-worthy enough for the bbc, cnn, reuters and so on.

How will that affect the future price movement of BTC?

If anyone knew that with any certainty, they'd be using the information to turn a hefty profit for themselves, not telling everyone else how to profit. Grin

All we can say for sure is that there will be some volatility because of the increased media attention, but whether it's up or down is anyone's best guess.

anyone who uses computers knows they count from 0. Block 1 was generated in the public domain .. The Genesis block is block 0
