oh boy, you guys got jbreher in here.

Going to find some popcorn.

The attentive reader will note that a challenge has been issued to nullius to rebut any "lies" he claims that I have posted. Shall s/he rise to the occasion?

Fascinating. Clicking that link finds the following:

You seem driven by illogical emotion.

Another illogical emotional outburst?

If you insist on defending Bitcoin with only facts and logic, then you will confine Bitcoin advocacy to a few obscure forums inhabited mostly by crypto-coders and technology enthusiasts with robot-logic.  Thus will you surrender Bitcoin to those whose weapons are only emotional and psychological manipulation—unavoidably, to such swindlers as Craig Wright.  Observe that with no facts on his side, and with no logic on his side, he successfully persuades many people who do not think through facts and logic.

I assure you that the emotional impact of my Anastasia essay was fully, consciously intendedand moreover, intended to be exemplary:  This is how it’s done, folks!  If you want to defeat the psychological support on which Craig Wright builds his hollow lies, then find ways to wrap true facts and sound logic in an emotionally evocative form of argument, delivered with a rhetorical eloquence measured according to the audience.  (On that last point, observe that OP was authored with much simpler language than this explanation, kept short, and bracketed by pictures.)  Then, you will have the winning combination that Faketoshi lacks:  The facts and logic that he lacks, plus a potent weapon against his manipulation of people who neither verify facts, nor coldly reason from premises to conclusions.  Under the weight of your logical iron core wrapped in passions, Faketoshi will implode as an empty shell.

And the delicate Internet tea-party debate-club members would never dream of using ad hominem argumentation, even when it is objectively correct!  Need I remind you that argumentum ad hominem is only an “informal fallacy”, and is not at all fallacious when personality and personal credibility are relevant tono, are the issues being argued?  Oops, I forgot that.  I became so “logical” that I feel like I should avoid anything ad hominem.

Dr. Wright has been expertly “verified” by the Bitcoin Chief Scientist.  He also has some peer pressure on his side.  hv_ and his buddies are Internet nobodies; but then, I’m the guy who named himself “of nobody” on the Internet.  Who am I to call hv_ such nasty names as “shill”, “liar”, etc.?  Him, and plenty like him (a dime a dozen)...  Who am I to stand against Dr. Wright and the Bitcoin Chief Scientist and a crowd of folks?  Authority plus peer pressure!^*again  When Dr. Wright sounds so sure...

[...]

Maybe my eyes are lying to me, or maybe I made a big mistake—and then everyone will laugh at me, because the sky actually is green, and the Earth is flat, and 2 + 2 = 5, and Dr. Craig Steven Wright invented Bitcoin, and I’m just so stupid that I didn’t realize it.

Moderation note:  Posts in this thread may be deleted according to my mood.  And I am in a bad mood.  Please be kind to Anastasia, and honest toward Satoshi.  Thank you.

As to Craig Wright, of course, the only question worth addressing is the threshold question of a verifiable signed message from Satoshi.

He will have requested (or demanded) to have his content removed. It probably also means that he has excluded bots from scraping the posts.

What could this mean? Is the Wayback Machine not a bulletproof historical record after all?

OTOH, the _technology_ which BSV embodies is much closer to what satoshi bequeathed unto us as compared to the technology which BTC embodies. As such, it is BTC which is arguably the 'rival technology'.

You wield your supposed razor as would a religious zealot.

Or that he might be under orders by "someone" to troll the Bitcoin community. Plus he's selling his shitcoin to innocent newbies, making millions from them.

OP: You’re right about that. Right now I don’t believe anyone that tries to claim that they are the Satoshi Nakamoto. Anyone that comes out and claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto without having the access to the wallet that belongs to Satoshi, I am not going to blame them. They must have something that proves that they are the real Satoshi. Craig Wright did this because he’s seeking clout. He just wants to be famous and scam people. And he already achieved that.

Almost every week I see posts here and there that has to do with Craig Wright, everyone is talking about him. And apart from that there are also people that believes in his coin and they think that it’s the right one. He has been able to deceive a lot of people. Very bad. I hope these people come to realize this and stay clear from him.

I have read this thread in my local language version and it is very interesting to discuss how great CW claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto and completely he cant prove the truth (cant be trusted).

CW has made this mess and has made some bitcoin communities work a little harder to make CW prove the claim is true. I have seen many community members arguing with various evidence relating to the by CW identity theft problem and I think that is a strong hold for me that CW is fakesatoshi and I want to know if identity theft like this can be punished?

I think the answer is the bitcoin community, because this case succeeded in making us all rampage about the false claim.

Since the rumour about the deceised Dave Kleiman being Satoshi floated around BEFORE Craig W. came out with his allegations,

Why is he claiming to own Mt.Gox addresses if it's clear to people that they don't belong to him? He never worked at Mt.Gox. He did lose bitcoins in Mt.Gox's collapse but he's claiming to own the entirety of the bitcoins in that address. Because if it's not a multisig wallet, the funds only belong to you.

Kleiman involvement in Bitcoin's creation is no more credible than Wright: Kleiman was an IT guy who demonstrated no particular programming experience (the only evidence of him programming anything other than a trivial windows registry editing automation tool, written in visual basic). While it's not physically impossible, there is no particular reason to suspect him over (say) the guy behind the genius bar at your local apple store.  The only reason anyone ever talks about Kleiman re Bitcoin is because of wrights "leaked" (and now shown to be forged) documents wrapping him into wrights 'tulip trust'.

Kleiman's death is relevant... but it's relevant because by being dead he's the perfect unwitting accomplice.

When you buy into theories about Kleiman you're buying into Wright's fallback story.  Some people are never going to believe the brash and technically clueless wright was behind Bitcoin,  but they'll more easily believe the inaccessible deceased guy did the hard work and for wright's scamming purposes that is generally good enough.

He did say something like Dave Kleiman involved

BUT, who is more punk'd, the Bitcoin community, or the Craigcoin community?

High performance computing firm SGI has denied any involvement with Cloudcroft Supercomputers Australia, a supercomputer firm that was founded by suspected bitcoin founder Craig Wright under his parent company DeMorgan.

In a letter featuring the SGI letterhead and the supposed signature of SGI APAC service director Greg McKeon, SGI acknowledged it would be assisting Cloudcroft Supercomputers Australia in the development of hyper-density machines and supercomputers.

To whom it may concern,

SGI, the trusted leader in high performance computing, is pleased to work with Cloudcroft Supercomputers Australia in assisting the development of their hyper-density machines and supercomputers. As a global leader in high performance solutions for computers, data analytics and data management, SGI considers Cloudcroft a worthy partner in the goal to accelerate time to discovery, innovation and profitability.

Cloudcroft’s proficiency in information technology is highly respected by SGI, particularly in the domains of cryptography and computer security. Cloudcroft brings this expertise to the design of its sophisticated supercomputer-based applications.

SGI and Cloudcroft have worked together with SGI’s flagship ICE platform for powerful distributed=memory supercomputers to build Sukuriputo Okane, Cloudcroft’s first supercomputer currently ranked #327 in the world. You can find more information about SGI’s ICE supercomputing platform here: https://www.sgi.com/products/servers/ice/

This super computer was tuned to 939.67 TFlops which would see it pushed into the Top 100 systems in the Top 500 HPC realm. This could have only been achieved through commitment to cooperation. SGI is very pleased with this alliance in pushing the boundaries of distributed-memory systems.

Next we must perfect the integration of Nvidia Tesla and Intel Xeon Phi accelerator cards to reach new heights in supercomputing excellence in Australia. SGI offers both accelerator options for its products thus working with Cloudcroft to ensure the next supercomputer stays green, reaches the highest ranks of the T500 list, and continues to perform through innovation is very synergistic. We look forward to a long, sustained relationship with this highly-focused Australian firm.

Yours sincerely,

Greg McKeon - Director
