That would certainly put a large dent to forming trust.

Bitcoin took off in value, the forum exploded - with users and trolls (as you've posted with logs). And no doubt with scammers. ("Stone Man" could have been a forum "dust" attempt..)

As we know, such a dramatic change over a short period ended up with Satoshi disappearing, not the opposite.

Someone should remind me sometime and I'll write about when I was offered stewardship of the bitcoin.org domain and how glad I am I didn't accept it.

Did you ever write this up?

Demanding to know Satoshi's "real" identity, totally out of the blue.

Particularly with Gavin-- no surprise if you knew what Gavin's first message to Satoshi was...

And "could have been leaked"-- is that how he rationalized handing it over to Wright?

In the meantime, I think you might enjoy this:

Quote from: satoshi on June 17, 2010, 02:46:08 PM

The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime. Because of that, I wanted to design it to support every possible transaction type I could think of. The problem was, each thing required special support code and data fields whether it was used or not, and only covered one special case at a time. It would have been an explosion of special cases. The solution was script, which generalizes the problem so transacting parties can describe their transaction as a predicate that the node network evaluates. The nodes only need to understand the transaction to the extent of evaluating whether the sender's conditions are met.
..
I don't believe a second, compatible implementation of Bitcoin will ever be a good idea. So much of the design depends on all nodes getting exactly identical results in lockstep that a second implementation would be a menace to the network. The MIT license is compatible with all other licenses and commercial uses, so there is no need to rewrite it from a licensing standpoint.

more W knows, the better W can start making up stories that more closely pertain to facts

He already managed to get a copy of all Gavin's private communications with Satoshi from Gavin...

Satoshi was always on his guard, and Gavin joined too late for Satoshi to have that guard come down,

which leaves a whole lot of history untold before, during, and after Gavin.

He vaguely alleges it was stolen from him. Of course, he's absurdly vague because he knows nothing about Cobra or the history of the domain (beyond whats been posted) he's currently unable to usefully construct any forgeries to support his lies. It's a safe bet that a big part of why he's obsessed with doxing cobra is to facilitate taking the domain by force.

I'm certain that much of what W does is a fishing expedition. The more W knows, the better W can start making up stories that more closely pertain to facts (those pesky things). Right now, all W has is a half baked story that doesn't align with reality in any way.

W will one day end up in prison, and will lose his current fortune. He hasn't yet because he hasn't pushed enough - even though he has pushed hard. W's stories do not align with the history of bitcoin itself, along with many other things. (We're supposed to believe that the inventor of a cryptocurrency wants to renege on the rules of software that he supposedly invented? If it were a card game, that would be called cheating. He blames others for "lost" (allegedly) multi-millions because he "wiped" his own drive.)

I know that we in this forum know he is a fraud, yet I feel it important to repeat so that new people know.

I’m sure you’ve all read about Craig Wright (Faketoshi) attempting to prove ownership of bitcoin.org & claims he wrote the bitcoin whitepaper & is Satoshi.

Was he claiming that he owns bitcoin.org? Seriously, if he owns, then why isn't he changing the DNS servers of that domain? Or from where the hell he claims the ownership?

Now this might be the time for people (especially you bitcointalk users) to begin creating Github issues or bugfixes or pull requests if not actual Bitcoin Core development.

Because since CSW is targeting all the Bitcoin Core developers, you are now adding more people into the firing line, especially if you start actively developing Bitcoin Core, but the flipside of this is that the number of trustworthy custodians increases. Because chances are the people who are trusted to maintain the world's bitcoin client are also trustworthy enough to be entrusted to a responsibility such as Bitcoin.org. Also by increasing the number of developers you are adding more potential lawsuits in the mix to drain CSW's suing-money to a point where he can't feasibly sue people anymore.

You don't need to hand over the domain to Blockstream.

As I said, even github issues are good enough, if you are not a coder.

These are quite dangerous and desperate people, so I'm still exploring ways I can fight this while keeping my anonymity. It's looking like it may actually be possible, but we'll have to see about that. I'm surprised he hasn't attracted the attention of law enforcement yet, especially after trying to seize £3B worth of Bitcoin with a totally made up story.

I am even more surprised that this case isn't closed. I am surprised that resources are wasted on such a meaningless, unuseful things, on such a cheaters/liars.

One law that will state that anyone claiming to be satoshi without proofs will be sentences in prison and this guy will shut up.

This is the only tweet that I know from medias about MacAfee and Craig Wright relation. Hasn't this man tweeted anything about Craig? This accident happened in April, MacAfee dead days ago.

How about "BFV"?

You're missing the point, what i ask is the reason people can't download Bitcoin Core using UK IP address. AFAIK the court order doesn't mention Bitcoin Core at all.

Which would bring us to the point where we’re asking Cøbra why he’s done that on the website?

If the court haven’t ordered that then why has he done it or approved somebody else to do it?

66,000,000 people in the UK & without a VPN or Tor none of them can now download & run Bitcoin Core.

Maybe this is the reason.

All this is sounding indigestible to me overall.

I get the point, but i find it's ridiculous. Faketoshi might as well as sue all block explorer, wallet provider and full node client for providing Bitcoin whitepaper. And since BSV blockchain also contain Bitcoin whitepaper, he should sue his own community.

The primary site to download the software is https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/ and has been for years.

This is absolutely against the spirit of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is for everyone so does Bitcoin core. I wounder how satoshi would feel about it.

PS: Start restricting Bitcoin core in places means you are trying to take control of the decentralization concept.

Leave no FUD unchallenged

Whether it's considered appropriate or not, I've also started red-tagging BSV shills for actively supporting an identity thief and documented liar. As far as I'm concerned, they're complicit in his crimes.

Craig Wright & Calvin Ayre are now stopping people from running Bitcoin Core.

I’m sorry but this is unacceptable. This whole drama is because Cøbra wouldn’t defend himself in court.
I think it’s time that Cøbra passes ownership of the domain to somebody else. UK residents are now being restricted in their use of Bitcoin Core, it’s unacceptable. Cøbra hand over the website domain please, this is unacceptable.

Who's going to want to be in the line of "legal fire" from a mad man?

A lawsuit about CSW's identity fraud (claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto) and copyright fraud (claiming copyrights for software and paper that are clearly released under MIT license by someone else) won't have anything to do with Cobra!

What are the odds of that putting Crack in jail? Just claiming to be a pseudonym doesn't seem as big as his attacks on Bitcoin.

@ETF Bitcoin

You are now not permitted to download Bitcoin Core if you are accessing bitcoin.org from a UK IP address.

Check for yourself if you don’t believe me.
