""But, as the events of this week unfolded and I prepared to publish the proof of access to the earliest keys, I broke. I do not have the courage. I cannot."

After coming under pressure to provide more credible evidence that he was bitcoin's creator, Wright had published a post on Monday that said he would post "independently verifiable documents and evidence" that would back up his claims. The post could no longer be found on the blog site. "


--------------------------------------------

I don't know who Satoshi Nakamoto is but I don't not believe it is Dr. Wright.  Two pieces of proof I will accept, Contact Thermos and unlock your account on BitcoinTalk or move 0.00000001BTC from the blocks we know only Satoshi mined and publish the results.    Without either of those, the burden of proof has not been met in my opinion. 

i guess Gavin and John are pretty pissed right now.  :-X

Does this mean Jon is not going to answer my questions? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1461175.0)

 ::)

good questions. i guess that depends on the NDA. is it still valid? a lawyer should know this

As much as I am convinced CW is not Satoshi I do not know this for a fact. Failing to provide the proof he claimed was coming is a huge red flag, but not really proof he isn't. [/devil's advocate]

You're not being the Devil's advocate here, there is legitimately very little evidence he is providing and him backing out when asked to verify his identity solidifies the educated guess that he is not Satoshi.

We don't know for sure that he isn't Satoshi, but he wouldn't be whining like this if he was and he would have documents ready, instead of saying "I'll leak them once I create them or find them".

What was in it for him? All of these shenanigans have just made him out to look like a silly sausage. I assume he had some type of intention. I'd love to know what it is.

The Core works in mysterious ways...


A bag full of silver from Blockstream, no doubt >:(

it is a plot from Blockstream to kill Gavins reputation  :D ? hrhr, interesting but i dont think so.

Reasonable and correct. But that shouldn't deter all necessary trolling and ridicule of Craig and co at this point - they've earned it.

Gavin, don't worry about this... I have a bigger scoop for you, when you are ready to talk...

Satoshi has a Naughty and Nice Faucet ?

Interesting Craig Wright interview I'm watching right now:
https://vimeo.com/149035662

Odd,thought this would be about so much more than wrecking two individuals credibility!
Thought at least it was some work being set to take bitcoin down a notch,maybe it achieved this with the business world in some sense making bitcoin a little more unpredictable. Its very odd that the news gravitated to this story so quickly and did no due diligence.

Good find. Very interesting.

And this is supposed to be the egocentric scammer sociopath ?

LOL

Blockchain (bitcoin) represents "a means of tracking and registering anything that can exist".

I don't think I've yet got my head around how big this thing is going to be.

I hope Craig isn't looking here like Oppenheimer before the bomb was dropped.

I guess Gavins and Matonis regret publicly endorse Craig Wright now. This is by product, few people care about G and J now.

So bay for him.

That's very interesting interview. Thanks for the link.

Actually I think it's him, I mean he is Satoshi Nakamoto. Just look at him during this:

"So, did you buy any?"

"I've bought and sold many Bitcoins, yes."

"What was the price when you came in?"

"When I first came in? There wasn't a price."

------- -

Just look at the guy's face. )

Maybe this was the goal, as in my posting here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1462981.0

If he was as smart as he makes out, he would have chosen his words better,
like, a lot less than it is now, would have done just fine,

Also his body language when you get brief shot, he has the classic lier tell tales.

He is just a talker that rants off words, to get investment.

The guy even talks about a centralized bitcoin bank, seems he talks a few times about things that would appeal to governments and big banks, like his is looking for investment.

i can see why he done the angry face when he said he was SN, obviously he was coached, as he cannot help but constantly smirk in that video when giving answers

Chris nails it.

Lol, credibility absolutely gone into a black hole now. They wont be believed ever again...

My very first and last comment about this entire scenario.Lately,I have been seeing a number of threads regarding the drama which is waste of time I suppose.Just my two satoshi's.

1.Halving is on the margins and everyone is excited about the prices,everyone has their own predictions.

2. Criag Wright takes the opportunity to manipulate the scenario by putting his dummy act we call "who is satoshi". Meanwhile Gavin is not sure weather he should be licking arses or just go with the flow.He doesn't want to be called as a bad guy,after-all we know that dude is smart.

3.Criag knows that we knew that he knew he is not Satoshi.But hey little bit of drama never hurt anybody.Of course,halving is on the margins duhhhhh!

4.BBC takes a stand showing interests in broadcasting the matter.TRI ya know.However the event turns out a fully failed occurrence Bitcoin prices are not affected for jack.Idiots use the event to promote the shitcoins.

5.Drama comes to an end with the conclusion Craig is not satoshi .Gavin is still smart.Bitcoins are still cool.

Unfortunately dont have time for that now.
But will definetly look into that interview soon.

1. agree
2. I don't agree to last part: "that dude is smart."
3. ok
4. +1
5. downvote to "Gavin is still smart". Rest is cool

Chris wants to know what experience BitcoinBelle had? Or what her role in this game is/was?
Well it looks like that Craig Wright had "some kind of relation" with her because she thought he is Satoshi. :D

She was bamboozled.

For one thing he wanted to create a forum that would take over from this one. His blog had a link to his forum with a blank place holder page ready for it. At the bottom of his blog's about page he talked about creating a world-class forum.

So from my understanding, the wanna be Satoshi Nakamoto cannot provide more solid proofs to prove he is Satoshi Nakamoto right? Well, I really wonder what Gavin will do. With his personality/attitude, something 'funny' is going to be on the news soon.

Gavin covered himself by saying “it’s certainly possible I was bamboozled”. He will probably appear on the news, point out that statement, and say the news reported his Satoshi Nakamoto 'proof' out of context.

He trusted Craig Wright's 'assistant' to provide a factory sealed new computer, and trusted hotel Wi-fi to download a Bitcoin wallet. If he get's mauled by the press it's his own fault for trusting Craig Wright's 'assistant', and hotel Wi-fi.

There is a way to provide proof privately. But once the proof is provided, it will become public sooner or later.

The NDA should just be a gentleman's agreement not to publish the proof until the next week or a few days later.

If Jon or Gavin was given a signed message printed on paper, they can take that home, and verify it, on their own computer, on their own time. Alternatively the message could have been emailed to them encrypted.

But now, no one has seen this proof or have access to it. So no one except the two would have witnessed it, and no one else will. That is why, no one will believe all of them because no one will ever see it.

Which is just as well.

Gavin can still contribute code, it just depends on if the rest of the core devs will use his code. If it's a bug fix, they will look at it and see if it's good before including it.

There are ways of including code that is obfuscated or does something else, but at least many people will see it first before it gets a chance to go live.

Damn 'I am sorry I don't read 50 shades of Satoshi' is the funniest thing I have heard for a while  ;D  ;D The drama has been absolutely all over the place  these couple of days and now we can finally relax knowing that Craig Wright has been proven an inept con artist and a plagiarist at that. But for everyone else that believed in his claims and vouched for him I think they will have a really hard time trying to restore their reputations.

I think it's their own fault. Stating that he is satoshi without a verifyable proof, not being allowed about a possibly invented proof... no, it's their own fault. Too bad gavin made it too easy for others to discredit him.

Wow, that was very interesting!!

Why would they be so quick to validate him when the potential for backfire was right there for everyone to see?
Are we that hard up to get the creator out so we can move into a new stage of creating a global platforum!

There had to be more to this and some one misfired or got chicken at the last minute. Very odd and I think it damaged bitcoin a little in the public eye.

Maybe craig wright was a friend of gavin so that he trusted him to not scam him?

Anyway, gavin failed big time.

CW is as much Satoshi as CW post is a post office
