Wiki says Bitcoin developer Jeff Garzik agreed that evidence provided by Wright does not prove anything, and security researcher Dan Kaminsky in his blog concluded Wright's claim was a scam. And Jordan Pearson and Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai said that "Wright simply reused an old signature from a bitcoin transaction performed in 2009 by Satoshi.

The Bitcoin maximalists are hiding an important detail from you:

So I dont think that He is the real satoshi nakamoto, and I guess it doesn't matter at all. It matters now that bitcoin is now a part of some other lifes included me

its possible that Craig could be Satoshi Nakamoto.... provided his 2009 team come forward to confirm that he is the one and only

Well if he is good for him. But for me it's more important where we are at with bitcoin. Some steps hae to be made to let the innovatoin and tech behind bitcoin flourish.
Giving people there freedom back with their own money is more important then the creator of bitcoin, at least to me. What's why the creator decided to stay anonymus for a very long period of time.

22 peoples answering the poll with "yes,no doubt" i think they dont read any news after BBC start post news about Craig is not satoshi nakamoto,anyway i'm not believe that Craig is founder of bitcoin and man behind bitcoin,he need more and extraordinary proof to claim that he was satoshi.

Yes, no doubt.

Get over it.

Since this poll was made last year, it is not relevant now.
Maybe OP should lock this thread and start another poll?

let's say if he was Satoshi, what's next if he is really Satoshi? what would happened?
what's the point of Craig Wright claims? the real satoshi we all know would never reveal himself. if he want maybe he could do it since 2009 ago. i think this guy sick.

Development priority would be influenced by his views.

That's the big issue at stake here.

No, no doubt.

He is a liar. He wants to be famous and he made it. Yesterday i didn't know that name even existed and now his name is known world-wide. Good job everyone.

anybody who is saying no doubt is trolling whether they say yes or no.

the fact is, nothing is clear at the moment but the things we have seen so far point to some shady behind the curtains activity that has some other goal than what meats the eye.

i voted probably not because the facts against his claims are bigger, and i don't see any reason why he would announce himself as satoshi massively and publicly in 3 big news sites and doesn't provide proof the normal way and now he says i don't need to prove it because it is true!!!!

I would be very surprised if he's not Satoshi after all these very respectable sources (journalists, police investigations, etc) aimed at him being Bitcoin's creator. Not sure why he would claim such title after all these years unless the police and tax collectors are after him. It's very clear (to me at least) he's doing this because he is forced to come clean after a deal he made with the authorities.

If they are so eminently respectable, why did they use his software, his computer and his message to sign the blocks 1 and 9? Do you know that the authors of Electrum have said that no .asc was downloaded from a British IP on the date Craig was meant to have proven his identity? But rest safe, because you have Rory Cellen-Jones from the Beeb to allay all doubt. And who could not trust in Gavin, who seems to think he knows Satoshi's personality, despite never meeting him in person and despite Satoshi never once revealing any personal detail about himself. Yes, rest safe indeed.

In light of the recent revelations by Ian Grigg (http://financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/001593.html)
I'm now considering it a possibilty that "Satoshi Nakamoto" was indeed a team of individuals where
Craig Wright played a crucial part. (If that turns out true I will apologize profusely to Gwern!)

If so, then Wright's bizarre play of both presenting himself as Satoshi and at the same time
pulling out the rug under such claims might be a part of some elaborate cloak and daggers game.

What direct knowledge does he have? He wasn't even part of the team he describes. And all this "I confirm" means nothing. Hey, I confirm that Newt Gingrich is Satoshi.

Let's see some actual proof. All these arguments from authority or appeals to emotion don't mean jack.

Nope. This Wright guy is vain. Look at Satoshi's posts on this forum and there is no sign of that vanity.

That was before the project was a "success" though and there was oodles of work yet to be done. Search the posts and you will find the one that blurs the line.

To me he shows conflicting signs of pride, ownership, honesty, drive, vision and a believed right to privacy.

My thinking has gone in the other direction. I was entertaining the idea that he might be Satoshi, in large part because gwern person seemed convinced. I also didn't understand the $54 million tax rebate angle. It seems Wright may have set up several shell companies, and had them do make believe business with each other, and then filed for some kind of special rebate with the Australian government worth millions. Being Satoshi would allow him to muddy the waters and claim he has money to back up all these companies (and possibly attract further investment). Pretty convoluted but IMO it is more likely at this point that he has no connection with Satoshi at all and is just a con artist (he really is an artist at it).
