Topic: Craig Wright and Gavin Andresen - Summary of the Story - page 3. (Read 2638 times)

Gavin looks so enthusiastic when he is talking about Craig maybe he doesn't believe himself that Craig is a scammer but people are so gullible nowadays. At least Gavin admitted that only time will tell whether he is wrong or right so I think we need to lay our pitchforks for a while and wait for the story to unfold further.

the OP's post is not a summary. because it doesnt show the hoax part

take the link to craigs blog..

peel away the crap waffle till you get to:


note the signature that craig wright is using..
MEUCIQDBKn1Uly8m0UyzETObUSL4wYdBfd4ejvtoQfVcNCIK4AIgZmMsXNQWHvo6KDd2Tu6euEl13VT C3ihl6XUlhcU+fM4=

this is not a signature of a new message but something that is old.. ill get to that bit later

(skipping a stage)
then on the BBC news video interview with craig
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZNtbAFnr-0

 he talks about signing a message using "the first transaction ever done in bitcoin"..(mentioned between 9seconds-15seconds in)
hint why choose this particular one out of all the previous 247 keys?? again ill get to that bit later

so the first bitcoin transaction by (real)Satoshi in 2009(block 248):

Convert input script from hex:

to base64
MEUCIQDBKn1Uly8m0UyzETObUSL4wYdBfd4ejvtoQfVcNCIK4AIgZmMsXNQWHvo6KDd2Tu6euEl13VT C3ihl6XUlhcU+fM4=


(thats it, you done pretty much the only thing that craig done (remember no private key was used with what u just done. nor SHA, nor ECDSA)


this is a 7 year old signature of the 7 year old transaction data encrypted using the private key for: 12cbQLTFMXRnSzktFkuoG3eHoMeFtpTu3S 7 years ago
emphasis: the data is the transaction data that is 7 years old(not a new personal message)!! and publicly available.. its nothing new!!

if he was to sign a message today! the signature, even when signed with the same private key would be completely different
emphasis: signing "my name is bob" would result in a different signature than "My Name Is Bob" even when both messages are signed with the same private key.

so if you see him display:
MEUCIQDBKn1Uly8m0UyzETObUSL4wYdBfd4ejvtoQfVcNCIK4AIgZmMsXNQWHvo6KDd2Tu6euEl13VT C3ihl6XUlhcU+fM4=

he is not signing anything new. he is just literally copying and pasting a 7 year old message(tx) that was signed 7years ago

Well said.

Summary, TL;DR: Crack White and Gavin Andresen r either on Crack or Insane or both.
Crack White is NOT Satoshi, he even stole his blog post,  failed to simply sign a message, his signature verification script has a fatal bug
