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.

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.

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.

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?

Craig Wright's real goal was to create publicity for himself, even if it's negative. So when someone writes and article about him or starts a thread, he already wins. The more people talk about him, the more chances there are that someone will take him seriously and become his follower.

He's so ludicrous, literally NOTHING about him is true or credible, that it's impossible to look away. I cannot imagine how his owners will continue to put him over but I'll enjoy finding out.

If there's anyone on the planet who actually believes anything about him then he's doing us a service by luring them towards the siren call of his red socks rather than them polluting the real world.

He’s not credible anymore to me and yeah why waste time listening to this guy while you can actually know the truth on your own. If he will reveal anything let’s just wait for that or ignore this message and live happily with bitcoin. I know we all want for bitcoin to go up high so its easy for us to make prediction but this one is not good at all.

The truth is that I don't think that something productive and intelligent can contribute, I am more inclined to want to say something about a problem about Segwit, and that because of the affirmation of a message signed by Satoshi that said that Segwit presents a problem, that in December of This year it would be known.

This article talks about possibly Wright behind all this: [url]https://cryptomaq.com/this-faketoshi-signature-tool-lets-anyone-become-satoshi-nakamoto/[/url , I think Wright wants to get fame at whatever cost.

If everyone ignored CSW at the first place, we wouldn't have to deal with his crap today. Denying him attention is still a valid strategy today, because this way newbies will have less chances to hear about him, or take him seriously. I think crypto news sites did the most harm here - when people hear about a person from media, they pay more attention to them, because they got used to the idea that those who are reported by media are noteworthy. So, don't click on any articles about CSW.

Wright also mentioned that both cryptocurrencies would be “shown to have no utility” and “are dead” before signing off with “Dead coin walking.”

Craig Wright, Roger ver, John McAfee and other people want to show themselves as influencers at all costs, it's paranoia. I am influential and I can tweet to change the direction of prices.
Over time, their conversations will become jokes and when we reach enough market capacity, these people will be ignored.
Let us pay attention to the timing of the news to influence the market in that period and then put a long history in the hope that others forget what you say. It's like saying bitcoin will reach $ 100,000,000 in 100 years.

his personal goal aint about crypto. its about not being charged with FIAT related crimes such as the australian tax scam and the fiat ponzi investments he done all linked to the 'tullp' trust scam that has no real collateral.
he keeps thinking ifhe can even sway a small percentage to think he has collateral in the tulip trust, he is safe from being charged 'beyond a reasonable doubt' simply by having doubt

The question is can Craig Wright write a code? If not then how can he manage to find this so called critical bug in both BTC and LTC?

Or he just needed another attention again in crypto because all eyes have been shifted to another Satoshi wannabee - Joerg Molt?

he doesnt write code. he gets others to write it for him
he is just a media drama queen
but there are still actual issues with the btc infrastructure.
and its then becoming a push the real issues of btc into just words from a drama queen to then say its just trolling to then hide the issues and avoid discussing the actual issues.

EG
imagine there was issue A
and some drama queen said there was issue B that they will announce in a year. by not announcing issue B people then laugh it off and pretend btc not only doesnt have issue B, if if it did its just a troll. but also that btc must be perfect and so not even think that there may be an issue A

Lets make this clear, there is nothing quantum computing can do right now, it is just in the infant stage and it will take a few decades to have some meaningful development, if you are looking at news value then you will hear many things and the recent critical bug is also another news loving individual and i am not planning to promote his name, he will not reveal anything but love to play with words most of the times Tongue.

though CW is just a bag of hot air and has no part in the btc network.

the segwit thing is not about improving the btc network for the betterment of diverse users wanting more transaction throughput on the btc network.(2 years on of segwit, yet btc has not surpassed the 600k tx a day threshold that was mentioned nearly a decade ago)

but instead using segwit features to push people off the btc network and into alternate networks. (such as LN, such as pegged sidechains, such as creating altcoins to fork off any opposition to core)
thus not only removing utility of the btc network by making people use alternative networks instead, but also centralising the btc network to only one group that become a central power of new rule decision making, by not requiring majority vote of diverse users to activate features.

to the standard scripted cor fangirl trolls
i am a user of btc, i have never used or touched the bch/bsv forks.
i am critical of cores overreach and power and control. as should anyone that wants a true decentralised network of real user utility
so dont categorise me as a altcoin fan. yes i detest core. but core should not be the center of btc. no one should. but if people want to pretend i must be some altcoin fan because i detest core. it just proves they want/love core centralising the network and calling it theirs, while pushing those that dont like core off the network
