I have a feeling that this is not right, I think Craig is just looking for popularity, why suddenly a person come out and claiming that he created bitcoin, it's very strange and why does he want to develop the BSV, isn't it better for him to just develop bitcoin that already got fame and value, something is really odd

Please don't spread misinformation. The US Government is not recognizing Craig Wright at all - anyone could make this filing. It doesn't confirm anything and just shows further that he doesn't understand bitcoin.

anyone in america prepared to file to change the record so it shows something like 'satoshi and everyone under MIT licence open source' just to quash this or prove its that easy to get craig removed

The code was released under MIT license. Hilariously, Wright seems very confused about how this works in practice:

but craig with his name on a certificate in relation to the 2008 whitepaper could claim that he created bitcoin under closed source in 2008 and that MIT infringed him. thus try suing MIT, as well as suing whoever he pleases.

MIT the entity has nothing to do with it. They are just named for the permissive free software license that originated there.

Satoshi published the original code under the MIT license here. This is what the license entails:

I don't see how Craig has any leg to stand on, legally. I'm also fairly sure that Craig isn't the first to attempt a copyright claim like this.

I suspect disinformation is being passed by people trying to pump bitcoin cash SV. It's really fishy how stuff is being made up on the fly and evidence continually ignored while the same propaganda is pushed. Again, what is the motive of this disinformation?

the point is not what is evident. its that some aussie con man can try finding some loose reason to try sueing an institution not to win. not to prove anything. but to try getting a early 'settlement' just to make the claim go away.

EG craig can with his name on a certificate can say his version 0.1 in january was X but MIT edited 0.1.5 in september 2009 to add MIT open source.
even though its not true. now MIT has to respond IN COURT

this happens many many times. people file frivolous patent suits even for things they dont own. but do it just to try getting quick settlements. all they need is something flimsy just to kickstart a case

craig doesnt need a leg to stand on. all he needs is a toe in the door and then he can harass anyone that opens a door to him. thats the point. to have legal standing involves standing in court to defend. all craig needs to do is show some flimsy certificate to atleast start a fight. and then let the other side get bloody trying to defend/counter. bcaus if they dont defend it, he wins by default. in which case most just pay up to shut up.

EG go to a bar. find someone that looks like they dont want to fight/cant fight and try to provoke them. more then likely the other side will try to avoid a fight by giving you a free beer to cheer you up/calm you down. even if the one getting provoked done nothing wrong

Has anyone considered that they are having an emotional response based on fear that their BTC holdings are going to devalue?

I don't suppose many of you really know me, my history on BCT, but I can assure you I know what that feels like to feel fear.

It was during the original BTC/BCH split where I had to make a decision, at the time CSW wasn't such big factor. Perhaps that made it easier, I don't know.

What made it *really* difficult was being a staunch BTC holder for years. It was like BCH was an attack on *my* Bitcoin.

When I eventually concluded that BCH represented the Bitcoin I believe in, despite being invested in BTC, thats when I knew it must be.

When BCH/BSV split happened it was easier, and yet still I had the bias of $ value dragging me one way.

Still, I chose BSV because I have, since I was first here (check me out if you like) always believed in *Bitcoin*.

I still do, unwavering, unfaltering. It was never about CSW, yet for so many of you BTC die hards, it still seems to be.

Fascinating.

I hate him.  he fraud many people by regard themselves as satoshi.  and in reality he only wil to find popularity behind the name of Satoshi.  I read in the media that there was a lot of false evidence and he could not prove it as the original satoshi.  I don't want to hear about him.
We cannot do anything to him, and we could only wish that he will stop for spreading the fake news so the public will not get false news.
Let the US Govt say like that because they can do that and we don't have to listen to them, and it's better to leave this as a mystery.
If the time is right, the real Satoshi Nakamoto will show himself to the public (or he will not Grin).

OP wants to be taken seriously, yet rolls out zero activity insta nuke account shit like this that can be unravelled within 0.5 seconds. My nasal hair could make the same application. It means nothing.

Weird to see people wander off into their little boxes of madness when once upon a time they were relatively together.



I dont really parse the first sentence, "want to be taken seriously"? Why on earth would I come for bitcointalk for "peer validation" Wink honestly, have you read the responses here. it's incredible.

Mind you, all is not lost fro you - from your tone it seems you are ahead of the game - already at #stage2anger

most are still at #stage1denial

whats been absolutely fascinating about this thread is discovering that in fact many are at a previously undiscovered "stage 0" - absolutely clueless

Someone must have made up all of this mess i guess and i don't know why they really have to push it while trying to convince most of the people that he is really the Satoshi. I guess they want the Bitcoin SV to get more investors for adoption to raise their price or maybe someone must have been trying to convince that about the faketoshi so that most exchanges would have to delist them. Huh

They could do it,We all have different opinion and I think most of us already know that he is not the real or original Satoshi Nakamoto ,
People could believe or say whatever they want but don't expect that everyone would agree to it.
No matter what happens the real crypto enthusiast wouldn't see him as Satoshi since he couldn't prove it.


Yeah that is truly craig wright claiming he is a real satoshi but people didn't convince for his ambitions, I don't understand what is the basis about this news.

Been seeing threads related to this topic. But I want to know if the US Copyright Office already granted the approval of the filing of Wright? I thought he just filed the registration docs but nothing tangible yet. Unless, once you filed, is it assumed approved? Can somebody file a petition of fraud?

Bitcoin was copyrighted from whitepaper and code version 0.1
A copyright can be maintained under a pseudonym.
And I've shown you a copyright registration from someone else from 3 years ago, exactly the same as CSW's one, claiming the exact same thing that CSW is claiming. What is it exactly that makes the other one false but CSW's true, considering they have both presented the exact same amount of corroborating evidence - i.e. none at all?
MtGox had bitcoin copyrighted in 2011, did anyone  until now enforce it, no.
Next few weeks Roger Ver will find out if he can hold on to Bitcoin.com

You're deliberately spreading disinformation here. A claim on Bitcoin.com would require a lawsuit most likely, so there's no way the issue would be resolved in "weeks." Lawsuits typically take years, especially over a subject this complex.

yea theres chances he cant win. but in may cases the people getting sued end up 'settling' just to save money.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.
I strongly believe numerous Blockchain alternatives can effectively replace Blockchain ...just incase he ends up patenting it to prevent people from building brand new blockhains and  running it in globally without limits

 Hope people are aware that there are lots of cryptocurrencies that aren't built on Blockchain?
Blockchain is just good for decentralizing currencies and transactions.
Bitcoin could easily be migrated to other blockchain alternatives... I believe this is possible

We will continue to host files on stuff like freenet, ipfs  while bitcoin and its transactions are move to other blockchain alternatives

I'm very glad that many speak out against Craig Wright.One single detail that I don't believe he created bitcoin is that he was silent for 10 years.The question is why?
