Topic: "Is it true that Craig Wright is the real Satoshi as he claims?" (Read 399 times)

Despite his technological knowledge and involvement in the cryptocurrency, I don't think that Craig S Wright is the real Satoshi. Time and again, he has proven himself to be a greedy individual who doesn't care about the global adoption and acceptability of the cryptocurrency. But it is quite possible that he has something to do with the original Satoshi. There is a chance that he knows the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

TL;DR

I didn't read your post because in the title itself, I can generate my answer from it. He is claiming it for a long time but he is not satoshi. He is just a stupid crypto investor that is manipulating different kinds of coins. He can say anytime that he is satoshi. I can say too that I'm satoshi and even our neighbor can say it too but in the end, nobody will believe .

To be honest, I have been tired reading anything to do with this man. It seems to me that the more we talk about him the more he is satisfied because he is an attention getter and he is even laughing to the bank while we are laughing at him. In the end, we don't want to make Craig Wright to be the real winner with this saga so maybe here in the forum we should stop talking about him and his whereabouts. Just a suggestion, anyway.

haha, it is so funny how this person is using this "opportunity" to gain some popularity. basically he saw how CSW was scamming people and how the topic is a hot one for discussion so he jumped on board. he starts by stating the obvious and makes good arguments about how CSW is a scammer and lying to everyone, then he uses the same lies to make the same claims himself...

His confession is fake.  I agreed with Vitalik by saying that CW statement has many technical errors and he could not prove his validity. 
I also agree with Charlie Lee's statement.  he said that he was a fake satoshi and his conversation was illogical.

Don't quote walls of text. We can all click on the first page and read it. This thread is getting scrolly!

I don't see why we should keep discussing Craig's false claims. I'm sure he is not Satoshi. He's a narcissistic lunatic and nothing more. If Satoshi is dead he's rolling in his grave when an asshole like that is pretending to be him. The real Satoshi left us enough evidence to at least be able to prove if someone is not him.

why do we still entertain this fame whore? the only reason why he is so eager to prove that he is satoshi nakamoto is
to get more $$. the dude is a greedy bastard that needs to be forgotten!!!

So do he, they are just the same clown trying to be Satoshi. If you have the private key on the genesis block just sign that one and make it public then we're done. And one more thing if you want to make an announcement you can use the forum as you're the sole owner of this and fairly that's formality if you will come back from the casket you're lying with, never seen any light 8+ years ago.

Who knows? For all we know, Satoshi Nakamoto is a computer programmer somewhere in Iceland protected from the scrutiny of the government. Or he could be an alien, brought here from a different universe, to save us from the clutches of Fiat banking.

I dont think it matters that who Satoshi Nakamoto is. Even if he is real Satoshi Nakamoto, what benefit he can extract from BTC or from its blockchain, i guess nothing. So we shouldnt worry whether Craig is Satoshi or not.

Craig Wright’s Bitcoin (BTC) Copyright Claims Received ‘Special Handling’ With Crypto Court Cases Underway

Let's be clear. Nobody knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is, or if it is even a single person.  There is one thing that anyone claiming to be Satoshi has to prove however, and that is that he knew and communicated with Hal Finney *BEFORE* Bitcoin. And Craig Wright never met Hal, therefore he is NOT Satoshi. Q.E.D.

Now, why do we know this?  The key is not what is in the initial exchanges between Satoshi and Hal Finney. The key is what is *NOT* in the initial exchanges. Any engineer, even one Aspergers, asks personal questions when they come across another talented engineer. Maybe not the first time if they just answer a question, but in a project as big as Bitcoin it will come up.  Just general background things so they can size up who they are talking to and how seriously they should take this person. E.g. am I talking with a PhD student or a smart 16 year old kid? None of this normal personal banter is ever exchanged between Satoshi and Hal. And they had many chances to do it during the course of their email exchanges. There is only 1 plausible explanation for this, and that is whoever Satoshi was, Hal Finney already knew him.  Read the emails for yourself.

Hal knew Satoshi. And he elected to keep his identity a secret to his death. So unless Craig Wright can prove he had some kind of a relationship with Hal, he is not Satoshi. However, the fact that someone named Satoshi Nakamoto lived only a short distance away from Hal Finney leads me to guess that Hal was actually the individual who suggested the Satoshi Nakamoto pen name. Think about how that could have gone. This is entirely conjecture, but I would bet on it being close to the truth:

Hal is sitting in a group with the other like minded people who are strategizing about how to keep Bitcoin anonymous in case the FBI comes looking. One of them says, "we need a pseudonym, something that sounds really foreign."  "How about "Satoshi Nakamoto?", Hal pipes up.  Where did Hal get that name? It could have been intentional because he knew the guy, or it could have just been subconscious. Maybe he accidentally received Satoshi's mail one day. Or perhaps he stood behind him at the grocery store and caught the name on his credit card. Or maybe he just saw it on a voter registration list. There could be dozens of ways he came across his name.  Of course, it is also possible that Hal was not the guy who suggested the name, but the fact that he lived so close to someone with that name suggests that there might be a connection.

In any case, that is secondary. Hal was involved in the development of Bitcoin. Hal both knew and respected whoever Satoshi was. Craig Wright simply does not fit the profile.

There’s one thing that you forgot to mention in this thread.

Craig “The Clown” Wright  cannot even use the Saroshi Nakamoto account here in Bitcointalk to prove he’s authenticity..

From that simple matter we are perfectly sure that he was just lying and 10 of his apostles

I am surprised, why are the parties who claim that they are Satoshi now. Why isn't Satoshi declared himself in the past and made himself open to the general public?
And true to all who are here, they have no convincing evidence that he is Satoshi. Maybe someday there will also be other acknowledgments from various parties or people again. So it seems that now this has become a hot trend. It even often becomes hot news in the crypto world.
Personally, I will find it very difficult to believe these claims.

I think it's funny that he does a good job arguing why C.W. is not Satoshi. Then outlines an equally merit-less argument that he is. 

Come on guys why you people are still talking about "Craig Wright". We already know that he is not the real Satoshi Nakamoto. And What's the point of trying to prove it. Even if he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto there is nothing he can do to improve or stop Bitcoin network. There already thousands of altcoins in the network right now. Even if Craig Wright is the Satoshi he can not affect the network.

Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto. I have read several threads on this including the US government's refusal to recognize him either as Satoshi. The man may have been among the early adopters of Bitcoin, but I doubt if he is the founder. He just wants cheap popularity.

That is interesting.
Other people claim that he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto and that person was different than the other people we knew before.
That will make curiosity in public, and I guess he will receive so many questions from many people after this
I am curious who is he and why he shows to us today and not in the few years before or in the first time he releases bitcoin to the public.
Well, I guess he has his own reason to do that.

He's just an attention seeker who deserves to be ignored.
We all know that he isn't the real Satoshi so I wonder why does he keep on stealing Satoshi's identity.
He's just making dramas to gain attention and to be in the mainstream.
The real Satoshi is keeping his reputation and identity in silence and Craig is just taking advantage of that.

Everybody knows Craig Wright is a clown. Those who had been long in crypto knows a lot of people claiming to be satoshi, but Craig is really persistent even after a lot of failed attempt to provide a proof,he even forged some documents to prove his claim.
