His reputation along with Gavin's is tarnished.

To be fair to Gavin it looks like he wasn't really paying attention to how Wright was playing things and now admits he got it wrong:

Quote from: Gavin Andresen in reply to Dan Kaminsky

Yeah, what the heck?

I was as surprised by the ‘proof’ as anyone, and don’t yet know exactly what is going on.

It was a mistake to agree to publish my post before I saw his– I assumed his post would simply be a signed message anybody could easily verify.

And it was probably a mistake to even start to play the Find Satoshi game, but I DO feel grateful to Satoshi.

If I’m lending credibility to the idea that a public key operation should remain private, that is entirely accidental. OF COURSE he should just publish a signed message or (equivalently) move some btc through the key associated with an early block.

My guess is wishful thinking. Never change, bitcointalk, never change...

crazy. Gavin has to now provide full details of their meeting so we can figure out what happened and how he was convinced - it will make understanding this more digestible.

the "brand new" laptop wasn't "brand new", it was setup with some environment variables which when he key in the cmds to check the sig of a key it would always say the sig was good, or somthing.

gavin's mistake was to think that the "brand new" laptop wasn't tampered with.

or drcraigwright really did have the keys he just put on this whole show and dance for everyone else so we would all think he is forsure not satoshi.

think about it, if you had 1.1million coins would you not go to gr8 lengths to remain anonymous. and if you were about to be found out, would you not try and prove that you aren't satoshi. if he is satoshi he's done a good job making everyone believe he isn't.

Craig Wright may or may not be "satoshi", but he was there from day 1 pretty much, that much seems clear.

I hope the community doesn't hate on this guy forever and allows for "reasonable doubt" to let this slide. Craig Wright after all is a valuable person to have on our team, regardless of this bizarre incident.

i like you adam! but what your are trying to tell about CSW is completely BS!

It appears that the entire fiasco was crafted to destroy Matonis and Andresen.

He has apparently taken the fall in order to hand more power to those who are not Matonis and Andresen.

But the saga may not be fully played out yet...

well, crafted or not, their reputation has been compromised forever

and as you say, i wonder what comes next.

I don't think Craig will attempt anything anymore. His reputation along with Gavin's is tarnished.
I can't say for sure that his was bluffing from the start, but this ending made me think he is not suitable for being a leader of bitcoin revolution.

lmao this guy... he's still maintaining his claim on the satoshi identity while saying that he won't prove it because of various reasons.

There is not enough popcorn for this. How do we even know he wrote this. And yes, it has damaged reputations, so who wins?

Ah, so *that* was his plan to cover up for the fact his deception attempt was falling apart, to simply cite 'tone complaint' and storm off in a huff.

Pathetic.

Kind of disappointing.
Expected a more spectacular finish.
This one is lousy. No thumbs up for the author.

No, no really. I expected nothing more.
The whole case and Craig's strange approach, beating around the bush, not confirming anything, not revealing EASY and the most believable evidence -
such as simple signed message of Satoshi's early address was enough of confirmation of a hoax.

Guess this means Satoshi's million coins won't be going anywhere for the time being... fears of market crash averted.

Kind of a disappointing ending to a otherwise exciting week. Not that I thought Wright was ever Satoshi, I just thought his exposure as a hoax would have been more spectacular.

I still don't understand what was is motivation for this, and I assume he knew this lie would be very short lived...

One good reddit theory was that he was being investigated in Australia for tax evasion since he didn't have proof of a $54 million tax write-off in spending for his company. So, bitcoin and its anonymous transactions is the perfect cover.

LOL, no, it isn't!
