Anything besides a signed message is most likely BS.

Incidentally; there is now more evidence that it's faked. The PGP key being used was clearly backdated: its metadata contains cipher-suites which were not widely used until later software.
$ gpg --export 5EB7CB21 | gpg --list-packets - | grep pref-hash
    hashed subpkt 21 len 5 (pref-hash-algos: 8 2 9 10 11)
Compare to the well known key:
$ gpg --export 5EC948A1 | gpg --list-packets - | grep pref-hash
    hashed subpkt 21 len 3 (pref-hash-algos: 2 8 3)
The 8,2,9,10,11 list was added to the GNUPG code tree in commit e50cac1d848d332c4dbf49d5f705d3cbbf074ba1 on July 9th, 2009, and not released until version 2.0.13 later. This is well after the 2008 date on the key. The 2,8,3 list was the prior list the would have been used in 2008. That they were different at all was surprising, considering that they claim to be generated less than a day apart.
This key was also not on the keyservers in 2011 according to my logs; which doesn't prove it was backdated, but there is basically no evidence that it wasn't and significant evidence that it was. And it's not turning up in any of the older key server dumps.

I find the timing of this and the police raid all too convenient.  Surely Wright knew the police raid was coming if its connected to ongoing tax matters.  No idea what the grand plan is but I'm sure it in someway is going to help him get off the hook.


of course he knew the raid was happening. thats why he legged it to london

It seems Craig Wright has a youtube channel.  most of the videos are family ones, but there's a couple of recent ones that talk about super computing and bitcoin mining

FWIW, Satoshi lifts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w34xd4wV3ug

Add this one :

Problem: Dr Wright didn't provide cryptographic evidence of his claims.
Thought: It's so fucking easy to do if you have the keys and will end all this nonsense speculation at once.

It seems just someone desperate to get some attention and solve his financial troubles.

The best I can ascertain is that Craig Wright concocted this entire episode at the time of Dave Kleiman's death, with his wife, Ramona Watts, in on the entire thing. They thought they had troubles before, I'd say they're pretty well fucked now.

What the heck happened last night?
I woke up, checked price, checked news, came here and have to read that a guy suspected being Satoshi Nakamoto had been arrested after Wired had published a revealing article about a Craig Wright half a day before!
This is crazy! Hollywood is a sh** compared to that.
How likely is it that this guy, whoever he is, holds a very big chunk of coins?
How likely is it that authorities will get access to it?
And what will happen with these coins IF they should get it?
I'm a bit shocked about all those news I have to go through now to be completely up to date.
Jesus christ!

Make sure not to miss the cat connection I introduced.  Grin

indeed. he can talk and modify all evidence as he want. this is crypto and we can expect hard proof via a signed message.

I call bullshit on the Wright = Satoshi theory.

problem: Dr wright is australian
thought: genesis block contained UK newspaper qote and satoshi's own writing style was british

problem: Dr wright worked for a cyber security firm in 2011 working alongside NSA, DHS https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigswright
thought: satoshi hated authority

problem: Dr wright egotistically loves to boast about how his business is in top 500. how his datacenter is top 15
thought: satoshi had no ego

problem: Dr wright emails proclaimed the making of 'satoshi' was as a public symbol to honour without corruption (imagine bruce wayne describing batman)
thought: satoshi use of the pseudonym was more like a blackhat not wanting to get caught

problem: Dr wright had several job positions overlapping eachover in 2009-2010
thought: satoshi was too busy coding and forum writing to have a job

problem: Dr wright was a information security expert/lecturer and worked with cloud systems
thought: satoshi was not all that great on cryptography. many people helped him out. and he needed to research things
https://youtu.be/rQ3e1Pzu7iI?t=11m14s  (watch until 13:05)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9074

in my opinion. emails can be spoofed/photoshopped.
and dr wright oversold himself. much like a con artist leaves historical breadcrumbs to sell himself

Zhenya Tsvetnenko, founder of bitcoin remittancy company Digital BTC, has discussed business with Mr Wright previously and was struck by his understanding of Bitcoin and his long history with the protocol.

Quote
McGrath Nicol has confirmed the veracity of the liquidation report to the AFR, which states that the company, called Hotwire Preemptive Intelligence, was backed by $30 million in capital that was " injected via Bitcoins."

Quote
Leroy Fodor, CEO of StakeMiners Ponzi, claims that it was Craig Wright who introduced him to Bitcoin back in 2009 in South Carolina. Leroy went on and said, "Mr. Wright knew his shit, that's for sure. HAHAHA"

Meanwhile, the cryo chamber that Hall Finney is in was somehow unplugged three days ago.

That is my take on this as well.

Confirmed.

Thanks to Craig Steven Wright's ex-wife, Lynn, cats can now be included on this EPIC thread: http://web.archive.org/web/19991022021831/http://www.demorgan.com.au/staff/lynn.html





The weird part is that Lynn's cattery was named Cloudcroft back in 1999, the same name of a company run by Craig Wright and his now wife, Ramona Watts (Chief People Officer), as seen on this page - http://cloudcroft.com.au/about.php - complete with Craig YouTube video entitled Cloudcroft, a must watch to see how he stumbles while giving Cloudcroft's spiel. Meow! Meow!

For those who miss the pre-order days, scroll down to the bottom of the page to see what's available in Two WeeksTM. I can hear Sonny Vleisides now, "He took my job!"

Enough of this witch hunt. This is not satoshi and even if it was, nobody should care. Whoever she may be, leave her alone. If you take a good look at that "blog post" it definitely seems like something that satoshi would post at that time even though he went through great lengths to hide his identity.  Roll Eyes
