LoL what a clown.
Btw, Which university did he get his PhD from? They should open a case about him for speading bullshit. Yeah hide your identity for 8 years and then suddenly, decide to go public for no reason. That's just sounds like a thing Satoshi would do.
Topic: Craig Wright relents aka Satoshi (air quotes) in Public Apology! - page 4. (Read 8984 times)
I have posted it before and I am surprised how you people read a lot of boring, worthless quotes and do not discuss some very canonical points I have declared here. Are you completely out of your minds? Is Bitcoin community poisoned to death?
This thread and the whole discussion is based on a false interpretation of Dr Wright's announcement: He has not "relented". He simply says that has not enough motivation/interest/mental strength to argue about his Satoshi identity. In other words Wright has observed that even moving 'holy coins' won't help to put an end to this. Wright is a sophisticated person (what else he would be), Gavin describes him as 'focused' and 'opinionated'. In his interview he simply asks a vital question: Why does he have to prove anything to anybody? There is no interest, not a bit of logic to put an obligation on him for convincing every single person for his identity.
He is dealing with people who do not understand a bit and pretend to be maters of cryptography.
Possessing some silly sequence of symbols, a PK, just proves your possession of it and not your identity! Your assets, do not define your identity, you fools!
And one's lack of access to some keys can not prove him/her not being somebody, you fools!
Satoshi Will destroy you all, I am sure about it, this so-called 'community' needed this shock and deserves a serious revision.
Cryptography is more and more changing to become a satanic, nihilistic religion. "You want prove your identity, do not promise, do not ask for trust,
forget about showing your skills, memories, attitudes, prestige, resume ... just decipher some silly bits with your PKs."
I think this is the worst evil that human being has invented. It is worst than Uranium enrichment and nuclear bomb. It is worst than Wall Street and NSA even Worst than the invention of slavery.
Nothing is more threatening than a gigantic 'decentralized' chain of blocks of silly bits backed by a 'community' that defines our identity.
And who invented this? Satoshi Nakamoto!
And Who deserves being humiliated, denied and sentenced to be/remain dead, more than any other person in the world? Satoshi Nakamoto!
I think what has made Wright such a fragile broken person is the realization of this truth.
Dr. Craig Frankenstein Wright has a right to collapse: His creature denies him, sentences him to just disappear forever.

I believe that he genuinely thought he could pull it off by carefully timing Gavin & co public announcement about SN true identity and his own blog post. He didn't realize his complicated cryptographic "proof" was so easy to debunk. Additionally he had to assume that the real SN wouldn't post any message disputing his identity.
Did anyone else catch the fact that, on top of everything else, Craig Wright scammed the BBC journalist, Jon Matonis and Gavin Andresen into each sending a couple bucks worth of bitcoin to the same address used to first send BTC to Hal Finney, before Wright threw in the towel? (http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36213588)
You can check out the exact amounts on a block explorer (https://blockchain.info/address/12cbQLTFMXRnSzktFkuoG3eHoMeFtpTu3S). Hilarious - at least the real Satoshi got something out of all this.

That is so choice. I can see Craig has a bright future as a Nigerian Prince.
This guy is definitely not Satoshi, he is bailing out of everything and providing very little evidence at all to back him up. I cannot believe that anyone thinks this guys is the actual creator of Bitcoin.

that is rich, first he claims he is satoshi (as a form of identity theft) and then trolls around the whole bitcoin and those three stupid news sites and then he fakes a signed message and then he doesn't stop there ans says i will move the funds, and now that everything has fallen apart he still doesn't stop his identity theft and continues saying i am satoshi but i don't want to reveal it anymore!!
Amazing to me how unresponsable these media outlets are. Zero fact checking. They all just want to be the first to report satoshi is found without even checking to see if it's true.
Man this whole thing is just bizarrely bizarre. There's no other way to say it. I am disappointed that satoshi was not outed but I still have hope.
If I were the real Satoshi Nakamoto and I wanted to come forward, would I want to enter such a hostile place? Yes, Craig brought this on himself, with the piss poor attempt at fooling the community with the
" so called " proof he brought to identify himself, but it still a aggressive attitude towards someone who might have been Satoshi.
" so called " proof he brought to identify himself, but it still a aggressive attitude towards someone who might have been Satoshi.
There was never any "might have been Satoshi". It was an aggressive attitude towards an obvious scam/fraud attempt. I for one am proud of the community in such hostility. WTG Team Bitcoin.
Whoever can sign a genesis-block message will get huge support from the community. It's that simple.
I don't care what you all say....he is Satoshi.
This burnout happened a lot faster than I expected. From stem to stern, it's only been about four days?
He put together an elaborate media affair designed to coincide with Consensus 2016, using NDAs for media outlets, Andresen and Matonis, to act as information embargoes. Posted a confusing revelation blog post that included a terrible tutorial on how to sign a message with a Bitcoin block private key (in a post that at first seemed to imply he was going to reveal his ability to do so). He then promised to move coins...
Finally, he posts an angry apology citing that people have started rumors about him that are false -- and that some of them he has proven false (without citing which rumors or how he addressed them) -- and withdraws suddenly.
He did a lot of groundwork for such a rapid flameout.

It is actually about 3 days! (even faster as information was released on 2nd and it is now the 5th)
It may have been a plan to get more people to use Bitcoin if they know more about it.
Also, his post in anger was clearly not in anger and was clearly well staged as it was split into four uniformed paragraphs of his fairly bleak website. Also, considering I found that he posts this less than 6 months since his house and business preesis was raided for (tax checks), how well it coincided with a paper that was released by two private investigators who traced the Bitcoin network back to him.

It means that he could potentially steal from people's wallets without their notice.

I believed that I could do this. I believed that I could put the years of anonymity and hiding behind me. But, as the events of this week unfolded and I prepared to publish the proof of access to the earliest keys, I broke. I do not have the courage. I cannot.
Breaking private keys or "cracking" them that I stated above is unlawful unless you can definiively prove that it is your own. It means that he could potentially steal from people's wallets without their notice.
I'm sure that's not what you think it means.
he's not saying he broke the keys. he's saying he hesitated and changed his mind. notice the comma in there?
But there is a full stop after it so that cannot be?
I feel that in this case, the comma was used to replace "that" so I assume that he did actually break the initial keys.
If he did there may be many purposes for this:
• Securing the network further
• Testing if he could break the
• Trying to disrupt the network to see what it can handle
• Forgetting the keys of his addresses that were not saved anywhere.
• Or just trying to hack others' accounts (less likely probably)

It is indeed very strange that he goes back so fast. It is for certain that this last message is by craight wright?
well, I certainly don't see him denying it. so yeah.
I was wondering why he tried to destroy Bitcoin in its first few stages by accessing private keys,unless of course they were his own.
can anyone elaborate on this? wtf does accessing private keys means?
Private keys are what control accounts.
It is like a password for your bitcoin address. Still a similar style to a Bitcoin address but, with access to a private key, you can acces an account.
If he managed to "crack" the private key of other users, he would be capable of stealing their bitcoin untraceably and without their knowledge until they looked at their wallet to see that it was gone.
LMAO I thought you were talking about something that actually happened. never mind.

apparently the email conversations Craig had with them were extremely convincing. That is something that is extremely difficult to fake - coming off as being the exact same person as they talked to 5 years ago, just as a general feeling.
I don't understand that part. The Satoshi era is before my time, but I have gone back and read some of his old posts here, and he came across to me as someone with a good command of the English language. Where-as Wright comes across as not very articulate in his blog. Does anyone else feel the same way?I agree.
Satoshi's posts seem open and read clearly.

Craig Wright's site (https://web.archive.org/web/20160502203753/http://www.drcraigwright.net/posts/) didn't.
- Try getting a contextual menu, and you see a dialogue box with terse message reporting, 'Sorry, not sharing images!'
- All code snippets are published as images. Perhaps he doesn't like sharing his code easily either - or is he afraid of web-crawlers?
- Littered with tacky brochurish images of the man - betraying a narcissistic streak, perhaps.
I suppose these are all matters of taste. And will be excusable to some people.
What is not excusable is his plagiarism mentioned this week on this forum (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14734784).
