Oops! The bitcoin creator seems to undergo at the investigation right now.

Incorrect, Satoshi Nakamoto has under no such investigation. Trust me, if he was, we'd know about it!


In this scenery, Do you think Mr. Craig Wright is the real Nakamoto?

NO, of course not!  if he was Satoshi he'd be capable of speaking intelligently about Bitcoin. I've seen him speak, he possesses no intelligence. he rants, talks loudly, and actually says very little.


I believe in Craig much but I don't believe that he is the person behind Satoshi Nakamoto.

You shoukdn't believe in him at all, he's a joke and a fraud. He's the Donald Trump of Bitcoin...he's an embarrassment to the community.

There is trouble abrewing
when someone is a scumbag and so easily commits fraud (identity fraud in this case) they don't just stop there, you can be sure their life is filled with dirt. we have seen his money frauds that i believe Canadian police is still investigating and lots of other crimes and scams in his dirty past and he won't just stop there either. expect a lot more scams out of this person in the future until he is locked away behind bars.

If he was Satoshi it would be very easy to prove, simply sign a message from an address associated with the real Satoshi and everybody will believe.

This really shouldn't be something that one would need to prove, hence if he is trying, he clearly isn't the original Satoshi.

He’s a fucking asshole desperate for fame & or recognition in the crypto world. Of course he isn’t Satoshi, he’s a moron.

This was just their diversion mate, and if we are going to analyze here about Nakamoto I guess everything to that so called Japanese name was an anonymous identity. Nobody can give the exact person being pointed out but still an unknown person. To those who have been accused of something who created bitcoin, could not be traced directly because this person or somebody hid himself or herself against the public all I can say is that everything remains an unanswered question for such a long time.

Satoshi did not want to reveal itself since he also does not wanted to be chased by the government unlike Craig Wright. If Nakamoto wants to show himself he will use his old and original account on this forum whose username is Satoshi.
Having a hold of this forum account does not mean anything, i am sure the admin has frozen his account after the hack and the only thing to determine who the developer behind bitcoin is to sign a verification from the genesis block or the first address, it is a simple process for the original developer if he wants to come forward now. I am not sure why Craig Wright is getting the center of attention when he has not proved anything rather than just claiming.

I would want the real Satoshi to sue this kids ass but they won't because it is better that they stay unknown. How silly do you have to be to claim something of this nature yet know you can't proof it, what a dolt Huh.

Craig Wright is not the real Nakamoto. Nakamoto is a wise individual and there is a reason why he is hiding in the shadows. The reason probably is to keep him protect his identity. Satoshi did not want to reveal itself since he also does not wanted to be chased by the government unlike Craig Wright. If Nakamoto wants to show himself he will use his old and original account on this forum whose username is Satoshi.

and while sheep are looking in the direction of 'drama' puppets such as CW.. you have to ask why are there so many stories being stirred up by such a person of no real importantance/part of bitcoin

CW is a non participant. he is a face with no hands. so for me every time i see a story trying to get people to talk about CW i start researching whats in the other directions that certain people do not want us to look/talk about.

yes CW is a scammer
yes CW is a fake
yes CW uses people and takes their glory as his own.
but CW is of no importance to bitcoin

for me i think all this drama to distract away from looking at whats going wrong with the bitcoin ecosystm right now.
much like when there are homeless people and wars going on, media want you to talk about things like kardashians.
to me CW is just a kardashian

anyway as for the reality of bitcoins ecosystem. i feel the drama is trying to hide facts like the core chain is losing merchant adoption. where merchant tools such as bitpay and coinbase are shiifting away just acceptiing just cores chain and retailers/businesses are starting to accept other coins simply because cores promises 28 months ago.. have failed, stagnated, not florished.. and people are starting to get sick of it
note to all core defense had wearers: do not even bother replying with the scripted buzzwords of the month like "conservative" to explain their stagnation.

just check out the forums.. in the last 3 weeks how many posts/topics have mentioned CW..... then look at how many posts/topics have mentioned the changes to merchant tools that have shifted away from just accepting cores chain..


even the cor devs cant hide thair failings
they have been called out as failures and core devs have admitted that cores chain is not
for merchant usage
a payment vessel, but is just an experiment

but ayway.. i think anyone who cares about the CW drama can learn more by learning the facts of his past via loads of articles/wiki's and other sources.. and it does not need constantly talking about him as if he is important/relavent today.
let him evaporate out of the ecosystem and let the authorities handle his many scams/debts/frauds.
if he wants fame. let him get the fame in the fiat media. lets concentrate on the bitcoin/blockchain ecosystem, which he plays no part in, apart from a face to slap

There is only one way to prove it, move a coin out of the genesis wallet and then we will believe him. Otherwise stop scamming us - we've had enough of these damn scams!

He did that, well, kinda lol. Afaik there were some movements on one of Satoshi's known addresses when Wright surfaced. However as it turned out, it was just an exploited bug on the end of blockchain.info which made almoat everyone believe that he's stating the truth.

As for this news, I cannot imagine a mathematical savant plagiarizing a mathematical proof just to make him look 'right' in his claims. By doing just that, he easily lost credibility in mere minutes after reading the article. He's not even a vital part of bitcoin's development even until recently, so I wonder why the media and news outlets are still entertaining this fraudulent shitshow. One thing's for certain though: he's too dumb to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
The people lost their trust with Mr. Craig Wright. However, the media is always here to make his name good at the ignorant one.
My conclusion why he plagiarize a mathematical proof to other people is to make his name more good in cryptocurrency. He proclaimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto. Therefore, he will make a valid reason why he must follow by the people.

Quote from: Bitzamp
Dr Craig Wright, one of the prominent theoretical proponents of crypto coins, has been involved in another scandal, this time, plagiarizing a mathematical proof to support his theory on mining.

In July 2017, Craig Wright published “The fallacy of selfish mining: a mathematical criticism” to show the proposed changes in Bitcoin was not necessary and could be detrimental to the security of the currency.

The alleged instability of plagiarism was discovered for the first time by Bitcoin Unlimited chief scientist, Peter R. Rizun, who has been a vocal rival of Wright for some time.
The discovery of a plagiarized text in Wright’s latest articles is just another addition to a series of claims that have amused, and angered the crypto community. Dr. Wright’s infamy began with untested claims that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin.

The plagiarism accusation and the backlash on Reddit happens just days after Vitalik Buterin called Dr Wright a fraud during the Deconomy blockchain and fintech event.

At present, the document in question is demolished and not available on SSRN. In his defense, Mr. Wright stated that the document was still in draft form, which is why it lacked proper citation and attribution.

Oops! The bitcoin creator seems to undergo at the investigation right now. I believe in Craig much but I don't believe that he is the person behind Satoshi Nakamoto. After the attempts of Mr. Craig Wright to become Satoshi Nakamoto, he plagiarized the works of other people. In this scenery, Do you think Mr. Craig Wright is the real Nakamoto?
