Topic: Craig Wright Gavin Andresen = PLOT (Read 2968 times)

I'm not delusional at all. Gavin visited the CIA. That's a fact. Announcing it openly is not making it any better, because the meeting itself was not open to the public. All we "know" about the meeting, is what Gavin told us. And apparently Gavin has no problem with signing NDAs, when he expects personal advantages from it.

Ask yourself: Would Satoshi have visited the CIA on invitation? No! In fact, he disappeared the moment Gavin shook hands with the agency.

Speaking about conspiracy theories: Never heard about the Snowden revelations? The government spies on and tries to manipulate people anytime when it sees the necessity. And Bitcoin certainly is a threat to the established order...

ya.ya.yo!

You are clearly delusional.

The GavinworksforCIA conspiracy theories are worse than flatearthers. It doesn't hold up to logic in the slightest.

Are you getting paid to spout this drivel?

I agree. I lost my trust in Gavin a long time ago, after he announced meeting the CIA and shortly after releasing his plans for The Bitcoin Foundation (maybe even the result of his engagement with the CIA). I'm now pretty sure that Gavin was/is influenced by governmental organizations to push an agenda for Bitcoin that allows them to control nodes and transaction flow.

Luckily that has failed until now, thanks to the more ethical Core developers. Btw. Gavin is the only developer (apart from his more extreme rage-quitting fellow Mike Hearn) that constantly tried to extent his power over Core development by introducing himself as the chosen one true Satoshi disciple via frequent media appearances, while other developers had more than equal eligibility to do so, but did not.

ya.ya.yo!

Gavin certainly has less power now than he would have if he was lead dev.  If he wants to be able to influence Bitcoin, then giving up that position was a poor move (purely from a strategic point).

Eh it might be restored, I think there will be debate but definitely there is much less trust. Gavin was never really trustworthy in the first place, wasn't he the reason Satoshi went into hiding? Trying to get him to meet the CIA with him?

also craig wright and gavin andresen just lost all of their credibility forever

No he couldn't-- the comment betrays a misunderstanding of how Bitcoin and open source development works.  "Lead dev" is not a position of authority, and if he wanted to push in a direction the contributors didn't agree with, he'd find himself where he is now, regardless of what happened there...

the message he released was:

(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 transaction encrypted using the private key for: 12cbQLTFMXRnSzktFkuoG3eHoMeFtpTu3S 7 years ago
emphasis: the data is the transaction data(not a personal message).. that is 7 years old!! and publicly available

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

He sold his soul to the devil, like rihanna and beyonce

Quick question — can someone please tell me what has happened to Gavin. When I first discovered Bitcoin,  this guy was a worshipped God, now,  he's an outlaw??

LOL. Gavin has lots of coins. He actually had so much he managed to give away 10,000 BTC via the faucet he set up back in the day to promote bitcoin (which was dispensing 1BTC a go).

Simple:

1. Bradley Manning came out with these brutal helicopter videos and Wikileaks published them
2. USG tried desperately to dry out Wikileaks by closing their Paypal account which was used for donations
3. Wikileaks decided to accept Bitcoin instead
4. USG first heard about Bitcoin and was pretty angry about this "Bitcoin thing" and how it can be worth more than a Dollar and infiltrate their power
5. They found out about the Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto and used their NSA surveillance program to find the real person responsible for this Bitcoin mess
6. CIA visited Satoshi in person and made clear, that the Dollar is here to stay and Bitcoin has to leave and they made him an offer. Satoshi refused and was terminated without revealing his private keys
7. CIA invites Gavin as being the number 2 on the list. Gavin agrees and he was flipped to take control over the Bitcoin protocol (edit: they probably have shown a picture of Satoshi after termination to convince Gavin pretty quick)
8. After various attempts to fork Bitcoin, he lost his good reputation, but he is there between a rock and a hard place
