Unsigned = Fake
1) Satoshi
never cryptographically signed
any communication.
2) satoshi (at) vistomail is
NOT a fake address -
in fact it is the email address from which Satoshi originally sent the Bitcoin Whitepaper3)
The email was not spoofed, it actually originated from vistomail's server. The email headers show the email originated from 190.97.163.93 and the SPF records show this as an authorised sender for the email.4) there is no evidence whatsoever of satoshi (at) vistomail having been compromised (the compromised email was satoshin (at) gmx)
About 1): Hero/Legendary members in here should know that Satoshi never signed anything - obviously he did that in purpose, and the reason has to be that he wanted a) plausible deniability, b) a focus on the CONTENT of his messages and not on a "creator" who had the last word on anything.
Furthermore, the recent intervention by the "new Satoshi" on the mailing list is consistent with the writing style of the "old satoshi", and so is the content - therefore it is reasonably possible that the message is legit.
That said, I don't think it changes anything. Anybody with half a brain understands that XT is a shitcoin launched by two shady individuals with ties with gov agencies and dangerous agendas (blacklisting, anti-tor policies, "proof of passport" for miners, etc.), no need for Satoshi to realize that.
I agree with everything, but one thing:
(1.) Satoshi never had the need to sign a message back in the days, but after his years of disappearance, people will only believe it is him, when he signs a message with his key. He should know that and he created that key for a reason. If he wants to stay anonymous and still wants to communicate with the Bitcoiners, there is no need to reactivate his old accounts, because a new account will be seen as legit as an unsigned message from a (probably) hacked email account. If you think, that he was only about content, then why should he reactivate his old account to sound more legit? If he wants to sound more legit (as the creator of Bitcoin), why doesn't he simply sign his key to make it 100%?
I tell you why: Because he can't! Because he doesn't have the password! Because it was not Satoshi, who wrote that and the other messages after his evaporation.
