Re Gavin/Vitalik thing: Vitalik's the guy who dumped his ethers correct?

It's OK, Q&A

Gavin prefaced the panel during his introduction by saying that he wasn't hacked and that he does believe Craig, and that he would answer questions during the Q&A afterwards. The panel included Vitalik, who sat to his right.

During the Q&A, no one asked Gavin any questions, so Gavin decided to talk about the Craig/Satoshi news himself. He gave his 1-minute reasoning why he is convinced that Craig is Satoshi, because he signed a text that he (Gavin) chose, and verified it himself.

It seemed like the crowd was going to accept that, and the session was going to end, but then Vitalik just started taking, and said he'd give his reasoning on why he thinks Craig isn't Satoshi.

He said, Craig has 2 ways to prove himself. The first, and easiest/simplest, being to just sign a unique message and post it publicly so everyone can verify it. The second would be to post some long blog post (that was arguably more complicated to understand than actually verifying some signed text) and only ask a select few to choose a message, show the signature to, and ask to verify. Vitalik then says that this fails basic signaling theory, and thus Craig is not Satoshi. Gavin twerked his head and nodded as if to say, "I see you point. Meh."

The panel session ended right there. The crowd laughed. I laughed. Vitalik laughed. There moderator laughed. The crowd laughed some more. Gavin seemed uncomfortable.

lols

Who is to say the creator of the genesis block longest chain longest thread on Bitcointalk isn't Satoshi...

muaahaaa haaa , we are all they...we want all the coins....we will keep it down for as long as it takes....muahaaahaa   

i wonder if hes willing to offer the same if hes wrong? lol

I think this is Gavs crews last attempt at a coup
i watched his bbc interview...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DCAC1j2HTY  made me LOL

Serious (compound) question: Who are They, why do They want to keep the price down before the halving, and are They gonna keep holding it down after the halving too?

If he publicly and verifiably signs a message from the genesis block, I'll give your newbie butt 1 shiny bitcoin. Quote it.

First of many stories to come before the halving g designed to keep price down.

Sure, the first time he was put on stage, he took an axe to it thinking it was firewood, but he's progressed magnificently since. Soon he may not even use a moose for transport.

hidden gem of enlightenment?

on one side, you have Gavin's subjective account.  on the other side, a mounting stack of evidence hinting at the contrary.     

double quoted , lol
what do u think...wright is satoshi? lol

quoted for evidence 

I'll give it a few days until the dust settles too. If Wright hasn't signed a message by then Gavin's reputation will be destroyed.

Do you remember that guy who moved coins mined in 2009 last year, and we all thought he was Satoshi? He signed a message on reddit saying "It was me" to prove he controlled those coins, then denied he was Satoshi. I'd be more inclined to believe he was Satoshi than Wright unless Wright signs a message like him.

I can no longer bear all this Wright talk. He is a fraud.

wright is NOT satoshi...100% bullshit, if im wrong ill dump all my BTC forever 

Yes yes! Gross negligence with extreme levels of credulity.  Raises some serious questions, it do!

I'll wait for the next days to see if G.A. distances himself from his post and gives further explanations. For now I think it's a wild mixture of impressions and a more psychological not-easy-situation. Can't explain precise what I want to say in english.

But in general my opinion is: Gavin did a lot for Bitcoin and I never had any doubts about his integrity. In this case he was too credulous and with a lack of professionalism. But: Bitcoin is not a company, G.A. is no "CEO", everybody is free to believe and free to say his opinion and also to change an opinion. And I believe that will happen if Wright doesn't show real proof for the public.
