Come on, admit it; that was damn funny.

It certainly is funny that in the face of Craig Wright actually "saying" that he is Satoshi @TBTB keeps on insisting that he has never made such a statement.

Or do you think his lame attempts at trolling me are funny?

(I'd think to qualify as funny there would need to be some sort of humour involved - but maybe I simply cannot detect it)

Err, I actually miss him already.  Grin

He's posting the same stuff in multiple topics so I'm sure that you can find him easily enough.

At the moment he is simply having troubles admitting that Craig Wright has claimed that he is Satoshi despite being presented with the evidence (including Craig Wright actually saying so).

Don't pretend you've forgotten when you closed the technical thread where we were debating and told me in PM that you never wanted to talk to me again.

I don't have time for your melodrama. Bye.

Then please go (believe it or not you won't be missed).

You are just butthurt.

It is very relevant.

Butthurt by what exactly?

(perhaps due to seeing your same post spammed in every topic?)

I am replying to every topic where my post is relevant. I am not the one who created so many duplicate topics.

It isn't relevant and it is just spamming (you could start your own topic of course).

And if he was saying that he just knew Satoshi and is not Satoshi then why does Gavin come out this "meeting" saying that he is Satoshi (surely he would  have told Gavin it was his friend and not him).

Craig has played Gavin. He knows Gavin needs support for his preferences for the block scaling debate.

No - what Craig did was grab an existing signature used by Satoshi and pretend he had created it to sign a document by Sartre (which is fraud and even Gavin is not sure what on earth to make of that).

And he *is* claiming to be Satoshi (which is why he asked Gavin to come and *verify* his claim).

Also - why are you posting the exact same thing in multiple topics?

Re-read my post, you didn't seem to understand it. Craig has not said he is Satoshi. Find a quote where he said that. You won't. He has always said it was his colleague.

And with his access to a supercomputer, it is plausible he was able to reverse the hash in order to find a text that matched the signature that was already on the blockchain. Without that explanation, then he must have the private key! You seem to not understand the technology.  Roll Eyes

Craig "Satoshi" Wright said he was going to move them

hahah this guy is so funny lol. He doesn't need to move any coin to prove it, just sign the fcking message if he has the prive keys

Something is weird. He provided a message and a signature, but there's nothing in the message to indicate that he signed it himself, or when it was signed. It could have been signed months or years ago and there's no way to prove otherwise.

To understand what is really going on, you need to read carefully what Craig Wright has always said and continues to reiterate:

In his initial blog post, Wright noted that “Satoshi is dead... but this is only the beginning.” He also said that he would follow up with a more detailed mathematical explanation for the revelation. Now, the world will likely have to wait for “the coming days”—however long that may be—for more clues.

If I sign Craig Wright, it is not the same as if I sign Craig Wright, Satoshi.

I think this is true, but in my heart I wish it wasn’t.

Since those early days, after distancing myself from the public persona that was Satoshi,

Satoshi is dead.

But this is only the beginning.

You need to remember that Craig Wright has never claimed he is Satoshi Nakamoto. Instead, he has claimed that his former colleague (who died) was Satoshi. He claims he was backing his colleague's the development of Bitcoin.

This Australian Says He and His Dead Friend Invented Bitcoin



David Kleiman, Craig Wright's friend more likely Satoshi Nakamoto

OK so this might get a little meandering but I keep finding tidbits of David Kleiman's life that makes him a far more likely candidate for Satoshi than Wright. So here are some in no specific order.

Remember that Craig Wright had obtained funding for and was running a the largest Supercomputer in Australia. So what Craig has ostensibly done is he is used supercomputer resources to find the inverse of a hash function and then used one of Satoshi old transactions to pretend he has the private key:

The implication is that either Craig Wright has stumbled upon an infinitesimally rare occurrence of an SHA256 collision, or that he had used the signature from block 258 to reverse engineer a hash (the first shown in his blog demonstration) and hoped that nobody would notice. ycombinator user JoukeH noticed.

Realize that he has probably promised to endorse Andresen's block chain scaling preferences and thus probably why Gavin wants him to be Satoshi:

Andresen’s only attempt at an explanation for Wright’s bizarre behavior, he says, is an ambivalence about definitively revealing himself after so many years in hiding. “I think the most likely explanation is that … he really doesn’t want to take on the mantle of being the inventor of Bitcoin,” says Andresen, who notes that his own credibility is at stake, too. “Maybe he wants things to be really weird and unclear, which would be bad for me.”

That uncertainty, Andresen says, seemed to be evident in Wright’s manner at the time of their demonstration. Andresen describes Wright as seeming “sad” and “overwhelmed” by the decision to come forward. “His voice was breaking.

Remember that after his death, David Kleiman's family recovered his USB flash drive and gave it to Craig Wright. Thus likely Craig Wright may have an unpublished transaction but not the actual private key. So he may be about to fool the world into thinking he is Satoshi, or making some proof that he was the man behind the man who was the real Satoshi.

at this point like i've said they could have steal the wallet from satoshi, and moving old coins, from initial blocks, would not be so hard for him

or maybe satoshi is dead and he found his paper wallet, or whatever he used for cold storage

something like that:



Seems Klieman's brother Ira, could have some interesting keys on a USBdrive. And its reported that Craig has been in contact with Ira, post Dave's death. If Bitcoin was Dave's baby, Craig could reasonably have possession of said keys. I said "If"!

i think the next step for this guy before the asylum will be to claim that is Jesus Christ.. Of course Gavin and Matonis will support him and they say that see the miracle with their own eyes.

I heard Craig is guaranteeing a price floor of 10000 USD per bitcoin. Stay tuned.

I reckon he'll suffer some kind of terrible "accident" (of his own design) moments before he can move the coins, providing a handy excuse for his inability to do so. The possibilities are endless - perhaps his "sealed" computer will be attacked by "malware", or maybe he'll come down with a sudden case of "food poisoning" - but in any case, he will point to the suspicious timing of the "accident" as proof that "they" (bankers, Chinese spies, etc) are out to get him, and he must go into hiding indefinitely, thus preserving the mystery of Satoshi while neatly solving his tax problems.

In his most recent stunt he re-used Satoshi's signature trying to pretend that it was a newly generated signature applied to the double hash of a document (a bit silly to not realise that he would be found out within hours of publication) so now he is stating that he is going to move funds sent to one of Satoshi's early addresses.

I would be pretty close to certain that he is going to attempt another trick - so anyone thinks that they can guess what he'll do?

this stunt got failed he may say that he have lost key of the genesis block and he need some time to find it. And again only pops up after few years with new stunt, but its for sure will not be sending bitcoin from genesis block

hee-ho.
It would be interesting to know exactly when Gavin first heard of Bitcoin and when he might have possibly mined his first bitcoins.

Assuming this Craig Wright manages to move any early BTC amounts I wouldn't be surprised if those were actually Gavin's coins (maybe that was actually the reason for the meeting in London - so that Gavin could pass Craig some private keys).


that's a plausible explanation. though I'm sure that most bitcoiners are sensible enough to not accept a movement from some random unknown address as proof.
