Topic: What the Return of Satoshi (aka Craig Wright) really means? - page 3. (Read 2965 times)

This is a pretty good read.

OK, I relent.  I cannot possibly top that fact and the subsequent logic  

At first I thought it was pretty legit, now it's obvious it could be anything, so in short, we are back to square one. It "could be this or that guy.. or maybe not." It solves nothing without conclusive proof, it's a waste of time. Still fun to speculate tho.

About this guy's super computer.. his super computer isn't that effective at mining Bitcoin, it's pretty shit actually.

According to this it's the 17th largest. Still, big woop.

We all have hobbies.

Yeah.  I get ya.  The whole issue of a guy with the world's 15th largest Supercomputer on the planet, and very knowledgeable in bitcoin, and running Scalability Models for the past years - and all without the general bitcoin community's knowledge - and getting ready to release some papers based on those findings is indeed way over rated.  What was I thinking of?

Sheeesh - Dedicated Bitcoin Scalability Modeling Supercomputers - who needs em!

Richy Rich has a supercomputer. Big woop.

I think the thing that scares me the most about the human race, is the fact that we can repeatedly look into the rear view mirror of history regarding the lying BS of our Governments, and in situations such as this even ask the question, "Is it true that the raid was totally unrelated coincidence?" with a straight face.   We never seem to learn.

And yes, I do feel for Craig/Satoshi.  also Snowden.  And me.  Don't forget me.   Only not quite time for me yet.

Seriously, until you have sat in the figurative Garden of Gethsemane, you just can't imagine the despair of realizing how utterly foolish to even begin to hope or trust in the mercy or fairness of human civilization is.

But I do have a feeling that Craig/Satoshi will land on his feet.  But he's in control of something much bigger than Bitcoin.  He has knowledge yet to be shared.  ATO might be concerned with tax money, but I assure you there is a much larger shadow out there that wants something much more important.

May the Force be with you Craig/Satoshi.

The part I find weird is the raid on his house. Even if it is Satoshi, Why the raid? I think I read the cops saying it was unrelated to bitcoin. But the timing sure suggests otherwise. I can sure see why Satoshi would not want all this attention. It must suck to be famous.

Well the Satoshi Email Denial has now proved.... basically nothing.     Of course Theymos has issued a qualified "It's a Spoof", which means we still have no idea whether it is real or not, and Maxwell has issued a pretty definitive "Probably" that Craig does not = Satoshi, and so that pretty much means zippo also.

For me I think this is hilarious.  Craig/Satoshi gets his name out.  Raises the specter he is Craig/Satoshi.  Raises enough doubt he isn't Craig/Satoshi.  And issues an email questionable enough to be either believed or not - and yet that gets his message across clearly, which is "Leave Me The F#ck Alone and start thinking like we are ALL Satoshi".  Man is absolutely brilliant.  Gotta admit - this is very worthy of the Beloved Illusion of Satoshi.   LOL

So anyway.... Craig/Satoshi gets his wish, which to be known as Craig/Satoshi.

Which still leaves us with the subject of this Post, that being that Craig/Satoshi has a Supercomputer that is churning out Scalability Modeling, boatloads of Bitcoin, and claims he will be releasing new Bitcoin Advancement Papers soon, including how to architecture Turing functionality.

So, again.... what's this mean for Bitcoin?

Ps.... all hail Craig/Satoshi the man about to upend the cart (for some!)

100% reserve ratio banking might not be that attractive, even a 40% reserve ratio of gold works very stable after world war II. People gain nothing from a full reserve ratio, but if those savings are bitcoin then it helps to improve the value of bitcoin

What does believing the "evidence" of craig wright being satoshi nakamoto or not have to do with being for or against the centralization of bitcoin? you are talking nonsense, i dont think anyone here is pro private bank blockchains.

Actually it hasn't.  You've basically got Maxwell's theory to take one purported piece of evidence out of loads of evidence, and you've proved it is possible that on that one specific tiny piece of evidence, you might be right.

All I hear is "against all evidence",  "the evidence shows", "the evidence is overwhelming" blah blah blah.

An Entire Community, and not a single soul can create a single, concise, detailed, numbered list that outlines hte evidence one by one.  LOL - bunch of scared rabbits if you ask me.  Here's why (numbered and specific - try it sometime)

1) Those of you promoting centralized integration into the banks don't like the fact Craig/Satoshi has stated opposition to private bank block chains.   So he can't be Craig/Satoshi because it screws you.

2) Miners are scared by thoughts of a #15 Supercomputer with another on the way being in the hands of such a potentially powerful and unknown entity.  So they are scared of being screwed.

3) The Happiness/Freedom/Rainbows and Unicorn crowd of Idealistic Dreamers went into apoplectic shock at the thought of Craig/Satoshi wanting to Start a Bank.  God Forbid, poor little minds went into shock at the thought of Craig/Satoshi, so it CANNOT be true.

And there is not a single list of solid evidence to disprove Craig/Satoshi.

Personally I don't know if it is him or not, but it is fun to watch you all get hysterical at the thought it might be.  I do HOPE it is him, because Bitcoin obviously needs saving from this merry band of divided, selfish, little girls.

Why is this guy so obsessed with the idea of Craig Wright being satoshi? what do you gain out of it? it seems like you like the idea of Craig being satoshi when it has been proved a lot of the stuff doesn't add up.

Thank you, and I agree also...  the work of Satoshi is what it is, or perhaps a better statement is.... it is what it was, since it has basically been "given freely" and has now morphed in an evolutionary way by the hands of others (recently bickering others).  Some of the debate has been healthy, some not so much.  

The Bitcoin Community is an amazing conglomeration of Techies, Investors, Financiers, Businessmen.  All pulling and tugging and manipulating for the path most favorable to themselves.  But behind all that is the tech, the code, the security.  That is the crux of it.

If Craig/Satoshi is real, and what he has stated to be taken at face value, then it looks like the man with the technological answers has indeed returned, and it bodes well for bitcoin in my opinion.

Yes we are all sathosi.

But   
the posting time here on bitcoin forum of "satoshi nakamoto" it's plausible with pacific job office time (japan/AU) (9-17).
Nice ?

why are you such a troll?  its clear now there exists not real evidence to show that craig is satoshi.  are you craigs' banks' shill or did you just figure out a good way to farm this account activity by posting satoshi nonsence?

What your saying makes sense. It is an analogy and they always breakdown eventually. But the work of Satoshi is what it, is no matter who he is. It would not change my use or view of bitcoin.
I guess we are all going to find out?

Not quite Apples to Apples.  For example, if Vint Cerf were unknown,and then today was outed, then it realy would have no impact whatsoever.  just a nice fluffy piece of history.

Craig/Satoshi surfacing at a time that is so crucial to the development & direction of Bitcoin is quite another thing.  ESPECIALLY if you consider that he has been spending his time / computing power on researching the Scaling issue, on layering in Turing Capability etc.

I mean - IF this is a true scenario, then this is a HUGE development.  And I think that is where we can easily decide whether this is a rational community or not.  Regardless of whether you believe Craig = Satoshi, if you can't admit that IF Craig = Satoshi, and he is in control of a Top 15 Supercomputer that has been spending it's time runnig Scaling Models, and IF he is on cusp of integrating Turing capability, and the fact he has basically taken a clear stance against Private bank Blockchains as a non-starting soluion - then IF you assume that hypothesis, can you admit that this is a HUGE development?

And in no way similar to for example a Vint Cerf outing?

I understand the emotional drama is perhaps too high to discuss even the possibility.  But it will come whether people want it or not.  Emotion will settle, and time has a way of working things out.

Peace,

It's as big a news as Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee or Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn! And who the hell are they? ... It does not matter, that is my point.
