Topic: Faketoshi's new attempt to attack bitcoin (Read 344 times)

It is really a weird thing that he even thinks of the possibility that he can trick Bitcoin core developers and get this huge chunk of money.    If he wants to make people believe that he is really the Satoshi, he should have more convincing proofs for it. But it is obvious that he has nothing to do with the real Satoshi.

In the Bitcoin community people did pretty robustly ignore him, but that actually played into his favor.   The problem is that ignoring him looks like uncertainty, -- the community didn't make it clear that wright's claims were unequivocally and absurdly false.   That left room for people who were stupid or unethical to propagate endorsements, because it wasn't unambiguous that they'd be instantly market as idiots or scammers.

Absolutely-- Gavin and Jon Matonis have a lot to answer for here, similar but to a lesser degree for Roger Ver, Cypherdoc, and other prominent (former) community members that promoted wright.  At least Ver has publicly withdrawn his support, though it took an astonishing amount of time and nagging.

The state of journalism these days is that many outlets will publish extremely sketchy speculation as fact ... so the endorsement by those figureheads has been decisive in the continued treatment of wright's obviously fraudulent claims as credible by the media.  And the media's representations have been critical to wright maintaining a collection of victims and conspirators.

The support of wright's fork(s) by exchanges have also gone a long way: they lend legitimacy, they create an avenue for third party downstream scammers to fund themselves by promoting wright, and they directly finance the scam by creating an avenue for the scammers to pump/dump on the news cycles they create.

True. While he definitely has a lot of 'followers' (a.k.a. people that think he's god or something), I'm pretty sure a lot of people would be surprised that a good chunk of the BSV community doesn't even like CSW because of his lawsuit antics. Heck, one BSV dev(forgot the name, but the one with the furry profile pic) made a Tweet quite recently asking the BSV community to stop asking him to make a BSV hard fork.

There was a time when market was affected by the Craig Wright tweets but not anymore.  Now he wants bitcoin developer to pay him $5 billion  
Last time he mentioned he was the founder of bitcoin. I don't know that these tactics won't give him fame then why he is doing all this ?

Oh man untill today reading this articale I would believe that It's not hackable 😅. So developer needs to hardwork more

Again this guy seems to live in another world. He's certainly not an investor as any mediocre one knows that when you put your money into something (be it cryptocurrency, stocks, commodities, etc.) you are the only one responsible for that decision and you need to assume it.

Blaming the developers for the hack is pretty much similar to suing Tesla because someone has stolen your car. They should have made it "unstealable"! lol

I think the federal authorities should investigate this guy to the skin. His public behaviour is absurd - a cue that he might be the thief behind Mt.Gox.

There is no way that Craig Steven Wright is behind Satoshi Nakamoto pseudonym and there Bitcoin because if he really is behind all that, he would immediately use his real name on the Bitcoin whitepaper, based on everything we learned about CSW so far in last couple of years. His ego simply wouldn't be able to resits that, to brag and put his name on something as revolutionary as bitcoin is.


It's not that I don't expect real Satoshi to show up any time soon I don't expect him to show up ever again. He put too much effort to hide his identity to just suddenly change his mind and reveal himself. I would personally prefer it that way, for hos real identity to stay forever hidden and for people to stop digging.

In regard to the last CSW stunt, it's just Faketoshi being Faketoshi, so business as usual.

Man, Craig Wright will do everything to stay relevant.... because he is a real attention whore.  

Imagine this..... "Developers deploying code to enable the rightful owner to regain control of its bitcoin."  So, he wants the Open source developers to "Rollback" the Blockchain to recover his coins.  

Craig my boy.... Bitcoin is not an Exchange with a internal (centralized) ledger.... you cannot simply erase a entry in the ledger to "recover" stolen coins. (Give back the coins you allegedly stole from the Mt Gox users and let's see if you can do that)  

All of these problems started from the early days when this a.hole claimed to be Satoshi and the community paid him a lot of attention. If he were ignored from day one and people like Gavin hadn't legitimized his scams in those days this scammer wouldn't have gained this much foothold that he has now to cause this much trouble.
The bigger problem is with all the time and money that would be wasted to prove his scams specially for those who have to go to court because the a.hole's lawyers pulled them to court.

At least it's proof he don't have influence on BSV as big as some people perceive.


Can't wait what kind of feature he bring to BCV, but i bet he'll bring feature such as control key over BCV network

Additionally, if we use tree visualization, the coin position is very deep

He probably understands that forking BSV, which effectively cuts the already small community down to half(or less than half), would probably end up totally killing the project(as if it wasn't dead already). Hope he does it though, very excited to see Bitcoin Craig's Vision! 

Desperate person will always do desperate actions , even if this makes Them Look fool and stupid ,  what they only want is to at least damage the reputation of their target and this is what Faketoshi is doing now.

Just like a desperate animal that being caught by hunters , Will do anything to bite before them getting killed.

So Cobra made a post about how the community should mobilize to support the developers. When it comes to this, I think, and hope, that those who can actually support with their wealth are probably all known to each other and in touch to coordinate against this.

When it comes to support from the general crypto-community, i think most of the "masses" are actually busy with the bull run or alternate interests to actually care about what happens.

Though I think this drama has had its anti-climatic twist with his lawyer's claiming that the 1FeeX address which drained Mt. Gox fund was controlled by CSW. Someone sued him back pointing that out too. Overall, i doubt that Faketoshi's claims will ever amount to more than a web of lies and deception under the scrutiny of a true, old judge. It is still important that the devs have their own billionaire friends to defend them from this billionaire idiot and his trolls.

There is no reality in the universe where CW Faketoshi could be the person who invented Bitcoin - just read some posts written by Satoshi and compare it to Faketoshi - for anyone with a little common sense it is quite clear that these are different people.


This time it's not about who the real Satoshi is, but about Faketoshi going in the direction of a lawsuit against the developers because someone allegedly hacked his computer and stole the BTC. Even if he shows up, a real Satoshi couldn’t stop these lunatics from still claiming that they are actually real Satoshi.

On other reality, CSW might have been the real satoshi and the people just doesn't believe him. But in this reality, it is clear that CSW just wants to stay relevant because bitcoin is getting the attention of prominent people so he has to fit in as the crazy one so they can work with him. I doubt that the real satoshi is going to come out any time soon, it's been a decade since he was gone and I think that we just have to accept that there won't be any revelation on satoshi's identity.

Yes, I believe someone should still stop him. You might not be getting affected but his legal actions are really a bother. He is wasting the time of the developers and he is fooling the newbies with his lies. Though his most recent evidences are just trying to make him dig deeper his own grave by admitting he is the owner of the hackers wallet of Mt. Gox

I definitely don't think this is benefiting us at all. With him attacking developers left and right, instead of the developers focusing on actually developing and improving Bitcoin, now they have to spend a good chunk of their time working with lawyers and such. This crap is definitely slowing us down.

Well, I dont know what to say about this man anymore. He truly wants to prove that he is Satoshi Nakamoto by any contrivances. However, the more he try to attack bitcoin and its network, the more bitcoin become popular. SO does it really necessary to stop him from doing things like that?

The more he attacks Bitcoin is the More popularization Bitcoin gains so Do we really want this Faketoshi to stop ?
or just let Him do Crazy claim for our own benefits .

We already acknowledge His Lack of attention so always trying to make one just to be a  talk of the community but it helps us grow at some point .

The whole crypto already knew Him well , and if there are some one who will Buy His story , those are newbies and Noobs or His own follower.

Faketoshi back at it again. Like what is this? trying to take legal actions on the developers of Bitcoin? but who is this developers that he is referring to then? since Bitcoin is an open source. Also what's this:


I don't think that's how it works, no? you can't just magically deploy a code to let the owner of that said stolen Bitcoin to get their Bitcoin again. This guy really needs to go with his shenanigans.
