Waiting for that PGP signature or movement of coins from the first blocks... let me guess, not going to happen.
This guy totally doesn't fit the profile of Satoshi.
Topic: POLL Is Craig Wright Satoshi Nakamoto? - page 9. (Read 14482 times)
Most likely no, IMO. There are too many warning signs of some kind of a scam attempt (or an attempt to defraud some entity)
this, he have problem with taxes, his solution to handle this situation is bitcoin... there you are, scam written all over it 
He will never sign an address, even if everything is pointing to him, why would he do so? If he does it than it's just to confirm 100% that he is Satoshi and I don't think he would want to prove this 100% at least not in this moment!
lol, tax related home search, says it all or ?
Satoshi is hiding and reading some of his posts, he would never ever search media attention or acknowledge he is Da Satoshi.
It's safe to say, he is not Craig Wright.

At first I thought this was the usual nonsense, but those are some damn strange responses by his family, friends and associates.
edit: on looking over this more thoroughly, it appears to be the usual nonsense after all.

Nope. This Wright guy is vain. Look at Satoshi's posts on this forum and there is no sign of that vanity.
But Satoshi was all business whenever he talked to us on the forums. He never joked about. How do we know how he just took on that persona when he was using his bitcointalk account?
sign the address associated to the second block and then we can talk, but i guess we will never see this, therefore it's pointless
another wanne be satoshi we have here

Probably not, but at least this guy is involved with bitcoin, like a lot, Dorian Nakamoto doesn't even knew what bitcoin was.
I voted probably not, it doesnt really matter that much though. It is a little interesting in that youtube video the way he acts when asked about his background in bitcoin. He could also be a fraud, all he has to do is sign a address.
If being Satoshi was a crime, could Wright be convicted?
I don't think so.
On the other hand, he may have been part of an original duo and he may have leaked the info on purpose because it suits his agenda at the moment.
One thing I don't get is how a guy so talented with access to a bitcoin fortune lives so modestly.
Even if he doesn't care about money, he's got a wife and children.
Anybody with children who had access to a fortune, even if they don't want to spend it on themselves, would invest on the best possible education for their children.
What's the story with Wright's wife and kids?
I don't think so.

I'm skeptical with this, as always.
Publicly stating that you're Satoshi seems to be one of the least Satoshi things that you can do...

He did not admit anything in fact. Quoting Wired I'd say "Either Wright invented bitcoin, or he's a brilliant hoaxer who very badly wants us to believe he did."
Lots of signs match: the ultimate proof would be that he shows he owns the keys of the 1 million BTC address but I don't think that will happen. Anyway this story gets more and more interesting and cryptic.
it would be nice 
although if it went back up to 1000, more "bitcoin inventors" might be raided it seems. bit sad really
although if it went back up to 1000, more "bitcoin inventors" might be raided it seems. bit sad really The authority will try to get most out of bitcoin. However, I do not think that guy is Satoshi. Satoshi is invisible.

10cents a pop. holy moly, what a dream that would be.

Probably nope.
When he says he's been "running Bitcoin since 2009", that's interesting
though. I take it to mean that he has been running the client and mining from
very early date.
Or then again he may have been just bragging. There is certainly
amount of megalomania there.

The late edits to posts to "insert" relevance to bitcoin is kind of damning to explain a hoax but being able to use the same PGP signature seems like evidence that can't be hoaxed, right?
A few things to think about:
I think it's best that Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity be kept a mystery, that way "he" can embody all the values each of us wants in him.
P.S. Depending on how this plays out WIRED could be enemy number 1 of bitcoin if this article harms the Project.
A few things to think about:
- He references "great coders" behind the project, so it's not just him but a group of people involved in the creation (if he is involved)
- Hearing about his breadcrumbs and insecurity and weakness in potentially leaking his identity is making me like him less and less
