Still hasn't shown any verifiable proof that would be accepted by everyone. Sign simple GPG message using known key. Sign simple bitcoin message using genesis block key, or key from block 170 (or any 10 of the first 100 blocks.) Hasn't done either. Because he can't.

Have Fun )@@( Stay Safe
Usage of segwit is optional. I don't mind it as I think it is an improvement over using legacy addresses.
I do not consider segwit as an improvement over legacy addresses but in the current development we need to reduce the size of the data and hence we implemented segwit and i use bech32 for my transactions.

But this thread is about CSW, or whatever he's up to. He can't prove anything. He did write about hard drives ten years ago.
When it comes to Craig he is really trolling everyone and he knows he will get a reaction to what ever he says and so is the reason he is continuing that Grin.

I think we should organize our efforts to beat him at his own game, maybe beat him in SEO, trying to rank a page like the encyclopedia of Craig's lies.
He will sue anyone doing so  Cheesy.

Take it out so we will see the truth.
If there is a serious bug and if it is identified i am sure the developers are more than capable to sort that.

Really? Hahaha
It is disgusting to hear the claims of such people with no visible evidence that they are Satoshi Nakamoto himself.

And this is it?
There is only one thing I can say
Take it out so we will see the truth.

Many wonder why people pay attention to Craig Wright... All us here know the truth about him. However, the media, with all the nuance surrounding BTC and crypto, do not realize that even giving him the spotlight as 'alleged bitcoin creator' is a disgrace. I think we should organize our efforts to beat him at his own game, maybe beat him in SEO, trying to rank a page like the encyclopedia of Craig's lies.

Why is anyone still paying attention to this guy? I'm don't have time to follow every thing he says, but it look to me as though everything he says turns out to be lie or at least some shitty statement to get exposure.
Because he is trying to seize the moment for bitcoin owning. He is one of the people who proclaims to be the creator of bitcoin. Well, he can't even know how to solve critical bugs that may damage the system. If he is the real satoshi, he is already giving true info in bitcoin as he knows how it works. Besides, he is just murmuring and keep on spreading his own unbelievable words.

Nope, I think it is much better to throw him under the bus, every time he makes absurd claims like this. It will just show people out there what
scumbag he is and how stupid his claims are. Doing nothing will just strengthen his argument and all his claims and it will put doubt in people's
minds. The guy is a snake-oil salesman and the people needs to know this. Take the power away from him, by exposing him as a liar and a cheat.

i completely agree with this. we should never stay silent against scammers like CSW. you and i may know he is a scammer but millions of others out there whom are new and he is trying to scam don't know it so they need to be informed.
not to mention that he is always getting free advertisement from news sites that are dying for content (and consequently traffic) these days. so he is already being heard whether we ignore him or not.

I completely agree with you. People like Craig Wright want fame by defaming the individuals who have done some notable work. Irony is that we are paying attention to his false claim.
Its the responsibility of every senior member of bitcointalk.org to raise awareness among new comers against such fraudulent person.

I think he is the same guy who claim to be satoshi nakamoto ome times back but wasn't able to prove it. Better not to pay any attention to such characters who only want fame through such tactics. There win is only when we start discussing them. Dont let that happen.

So when someone writes and article about him or starts a thread, he already wins.

but by not naming and shaming him. the only version of events people see are his side. thus he wins more

You're both right, the question is, is it better to ignore (in this case lie) or to constantly confront it? In my opinion, Faketoshi currently has a win-win situation, because saying nothing may mean that we agree with his claims, but at the same time if we challenge his lies we give him additional publicity.

In my opinion, ignoring is not a good option at the moment, but at some point, people will realize that CW is one ordinary liar who should not be given too much attention. Let's say Bitcoin is still at a stage where certain things can be challenged, CW and some others see their opportunity here, and as time goes by, the space for such actions will be greatly reduced.

He doesn't make absurd claims, he's simply ABSURD. He's the Borat character of the Bitcoin community. I don't know if his trolls are part of the show, or maybe just truly stupid.

I don’t know why people still like to waste their time in paying any sort of attention to this attention seeker and as we are holding on to any of his words, we are already making him to achieve that which he wants to achieve which I think is just to get popularity for their own sake or for the sake of any project that they intend to create in the future, and the most funny thing is that this guy is really getting popularity as in the cryptocurrency world now, there is virtually no one that does not know him, and if he is to come up with any project now even if it is to dupe people, they will still accept it because I cannot believe that despite all this crazy man has done, people still holding on to the bsv coin even when binance had delisted it from their own platform.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

I feel the same as segwit transactions are cheaper without compromising security. I started using it when it first came out and had no problems with it ever. On the contrary it became very useful back when the network was much slower.
Craig is a clown, nothing more. I like how he speaks on stage like he's some kind of famous inventor. Walks around with his head high and talks like a politician. Compare his talks and those of Andreas Antonopoulos you'll see that craig is full of shit and makes things up as he goes. I was this, I was that, my patent, my work, fucking moron.

Lol, what can we expect from CW nowadays, he has become a crypto-diva who love to attract attention by making controversial affirmations, that's how he rolls, that's his way to get the attention from people, but in the end, those are only empty words from a crazy guy.

If he has a 0day for BTC and LTC he would already exploit it and make people user his bitcoin fork called BCH satoshi vision.

Lol, what if he's saying that then just to draw more attention to himself? These people are fond of seeking clout that ends up leading them to nowhere good. I know for sure that what he seems to have more attention on him and get more money, but at the end it never worked out for him as everyone discovered who he truly was and dumped him. I no longer see him popping up on the news any longer, he has melted like ice. Back then I would always see lots of news about him online.

Or maybe it could be he's decided to punish everyone by not saying what it is until it shows by itself lol, or maybe he's just saying that make everyone believe that he's really Satoshi. Confused person.

November 15, 2019, has come to pass, and yet another claim from Craig Wright has proven to be nothing more than conjecture.

One year ago, Wright claimed in a tweet that after a year’s time, he would release details on an alleged unrepairable flaw in both Bitcoin (BTC) and Litecoin (LTC) that essentially renders both coins dead on their feet.

I know that nothing is perfect here, even the blockchain technology of course. It may have some vulnerabilities, especially when quantum computing is in effect. If there’s indeed a critical bug on both Bitcoin and Litecoin, what would that be? Perhaps some of you guys have some insider about it?

Let me know about your thoughts and opinions about this one guys! Cheers!

@cheezcarls I’m surprised you believed Craig’s word regarding the bug, because everytime he makes a claim it only turns out to be fake. Even though I’m not a developer I’m pretty sure there’s no such bug in bitcoins, and this statement was made just to draw attention on himself.

Name a more iconic duo, Craig Wright and making outrageous claims that he can not backup...

I don't understand why people listen to him anymore, or why he does it as well, I'm guessing there are just some stupid people who are sheep, and they will listen to anything people say.

Let's start ignoring these clowns, does anyone have a clue what he was referring to when it was the bugs, or was it just complete bullshit.

The reason is that there's still influential person in bitcoin and crypto community that supports him such as the chief scientist Gavin, though, we believe that Craig isn't really the creator of Bitcoin, he have huge control over cryptocurrency because of his money. I see he is somehow blackmailing people about exposing bugs in BTC and LTC to get his personal interest again in the market, believing him would not do us any good as it will just induce market decline even more.

As far as I know, CSW never did anything that may contribute to the success of bitcoin. He only is a dumb guy, trying to gain attention by saying such nonsense and baseless statements. What I can see is that, he is claiming that he has a POWER, pretending to know ALL about bitcoin.

So, my question is, "Where is that bug of btc and ltc he is talking about?" Gone too soon or nothing to expose in the first place?
