There are at least 2 ways to prove that he is Satoshi: Satoshi Nakamoto <satoshin@gmx.com>He should have access to email Satoshi. Satoshi Nakamoto in bitcointalk.orgLog in to your bitcointalk.org account And leave a message: " Hello, this is Craig Wright and I am Satoshi Nakamoto!" If this is done, there will be, almost, no doubt that Satoshi is him! Let the judge accept this information! Get with the times, youngling. The gmx email address was compromised years ago and put up for sale. The bitcointalk database has been compromised multiple times and satoshi's account has been long shut down. Even if he signed from one of the known blocks all it would prove is that he controlled those private keys at that moment of signing. No one can prove they're Satoshi without a shred of doubt. It's too late now. There's no point in any of this if he had hard proof. Clearly if he had the keys to the stash all of this would be useless, and he wouldn't need Ayre. It appears as if he's building a case for himself to put a claim in if not for full amount then for a portion. And if before all that he manages to get some court to write something positive for his case his chances would improve significantly, if not at least he got publicity and recognition that should also help his claim and possibly silencing people (not good for a case if all of the internet is calling him a fraud) |

Calvin's relationship/partnership with Craig right now.
Ayre has reportedly been involved with CSW since at least Feb 2016. See this lengthy article, though note that it uses info from several highly unreliable sources, so you have to second-guess everything. Apparently, Wright worked in Antigua on gambling websites a long time ago, which is Ayre's residence and line of business, so they probably met directly or indirectly through this. Wright first publicly made his appearance in the Bitcoin scene in Dec 2015, and apparently he was engaging in the "I'm Satoshi but down on my luck, plz give me a small loan of a million dollars" shtick from at least around mid 2015. The fact that Ayre was involved so early makes me a bit suspicious that he could be in on the con, but it's also possible that he's just fallen for it real deep. I find Ayre's actions inexplicable. He appeared in this space suddenly, with a thin recent history. He's fixated on statist arguments, but his history makes me think that he should be biased against the state. (CSW has also been talking about this: which one is influencing the other?) He's stuck steadfastly by CSW for 3+ years with nothing obvious to show for it, and probably significant losses. (But is there something we don't know about? Does he somehow stand to profit from the current course of events, where SV & CSW fail in a loud and dragged-out way?) If anyone has some connection to Ayre through a friend-of-a-friend or something, I'd really like to know what's actually going through his mind. Ayre couldn't care less about BTC he's only the money man, but he's not an idiot and won't throw millions around unless he believe he could profit from it. If CSW could convince Gavin and Ayre, he might actually have some remote association to Satoshi. Now it's not bullet proof and he doesn't have access to the stash. CSW claimed that Satoshi's stash is locked up in a trust till 1/1/2020. Assuming that's the case, there's no way anyone is touching it without a ton of litigations. To raise his chances the first step is to get as much PR as humanely possible to associate himself with Satoshi. Create BSV fork, file lawsuits etc... Even if case is dismissed for lack of evidence he still gets a lot of coverage drumming it up as much as possible and gathering a following. Outcome of this lawsuit is irrelevant as its only there for PR, once he gets his TV time that's where the real war for the stash starts. It will be a long process which will require a ton of money, enter Ayre he bankrolls the process for a cut of a stash, his roll is to sponsor the games while cheerleading CSW from the sidelines as loud as he can. That's the only logic hypothesis i can come up with, outside of them just being lunatics that like to burn money. |

Either Ayre knows something we don't, got conned, or he's preparing to break ties with CSW. "This industry needs to grow up and Craig proving he is Satoshi is the only way past this Troll attack that is so bad for the industries reputation. He now has a duty to set the record straight for us all. The Trolls all know he is Satoshi hence the fear." https://twitter.com/CalvinAyre/status/1117706922415853569If Craig managed to convince Gavin that he was Satoshi what chance does a judge have? Looks like he's doubling down on proving to judge (but not public) that CSW is Satoshi. Best case judge laughs at them and throws them out, worst case they convince the judge but keep the evidence sealed from public, so we'd have a ruling from some low level judge saying CSW is Satoshi |

The victory of the community!!! The money to protect Hodlonaut from Faketoshi's lawyers is raised. And much more than necessary.  He's not even being sued yet, too soon, just gives publicity to that damn PR stunt. Now CSW can claim that due to feedback from cryptoverse and to be a nice guy he won't follow through with the suit. Kinda jumping through his hoops, he ends up getting publicity he craves without his idiotic lawsuit ever seeing the light of day. Maybe he isn't that dumb after all  Am i the only one who actually wants to see him try to prove that he's Satoshi in court? |

Think Andreas said something along these lines, but this is not a cult and we don't have gods or dieties. If for some magical reason he has the keys to Satoshi's stash it would speak less of Satoshi than more of CSW. Not like people will turn to SV even if he could prove anything. His best case is people starting to believe that Satoshi got brain damaged and turned into CSW, oh well current BTC will live on...
My immediate reply was going to be "won't happen, not a problem", but then I remembered I felt the same way about Trump winning the election. I guess the point is anything is possible, though its more likely that Mark Zuckerberg will be the next president. The timing kind of bothers me, didn't he claim that the keys were locked in some trust till 2019 or was it 2020? But yeah most likely a PR stunt so the goal would be to milk it for as long as possible while trying to keep relevant. (you know sort of like i'll reveal my taxes *after the IRS audit which has been ongoing for 30 yrs now) |

Must suck to be Roger. Always picks the wrong side. Gox wasn't fine, Craig neither. Bcash isn't too. I am waiting for his turn to be destroyed just like happened to Craig. When driven by wrong thoughts then yeah probably his time will come  Think Andreas said something along these lines, but this is not a cult and we don't have gods or dieties.

I know people are worried about Roach and Gemtits so I went and checked on them today at the nocoiner homeless shelter. They are of course broken people but at least they have food and a bed to sleep together on, just no wifi right now.  I told them its not too late to get jobs and buy coins and I gave them copies of the Bitcoin Standard. Maybe they will come around, who knows. Tards are gonna be tarded, sometimes thats just how it is.  Did you get their blood types? You know just for the record |

Blah blah blah larger block blah blah
You have bcash and bsv with larger blocks, go there you have options. What part of we don't want larger blocks is so hard to comprehend Yeah, I get it. But some here seem utterly oblivious to the consequences thereof. And you feel that you grasp full consequences of bcash and bsv and their unlimited blocks that you're shilling? You're just trying to exploit novices by highlighting some of the challenges that BTC is working on solving in an attempt to steer them into your shitcoins that put a bandaid on it and claim that it solves everything. |

Everybody discussing walls and prices ... bear shows up and shit dumps a bunch of bcash shitposts  anyhooo .... but check out that 2000 btc wall on bitstamp, don't see those very often anymore! Is it gone don't see it, was it a bid or ask wall? |

A nice alternative of BitcoinWisdom.com: Cryptowat.ch
Thanks for the link. I use the Cryptocoin price index site, but I liked the quick clean interface of BW more. However it's been falling apart for awhile, guess the last API links finally dropped dead. Such is change. As was posted before give https://bitcoinwisdom.io a try |

Lol at Finex walls. BTC1200 bid @ $5069, and ~BTC1000 ask @ $5150 someone trying to corner the market? Oops i might be in a wrong thread

Can we just not let the arguing with jbreher polarize sides as if there was no middle more reasonable field?
Bitcoin is scaling the right way. But that doesn't mean it won't have a moderate and reasonable block size increase in the (near?) future.
L2 is the way to go, but block size will also need some (linear, not exponential as that's what L2 is for) capacity upgrade sometime.
and are we really just giving blockstream inc. a pass? I am not sure what you mean. Some say blockstream wants to focus on L2 (something that I consider extremely important for scaling) and also that they won't ever allow a block size increase (something that I am not sure if it is just FUD, because that sounds simply stupid). My point of view is that Bitcoin needs both L2 and a gradual blocksize increase, being L2 responsible for most of the massive scaling and block size increase enough to support L2 and bigger/not so frequent tx's directly on-chain. Also I am pretty sure whatever is done need to be done via CONSENSUS. Other than that would not be Bitcoin, but just a worthless copycat (and we already have enough of those, don't we?) No, just no. If you want to even consider the idea of BTC being the scale of say settling world's oil trades, your priorities need to be decentralization and security above all else! That needs to be built into the core design from the ground up, and current developers seemed to be aligned with that vision. If you're willing to compromise on those fundamentals "just a tiny bit" so you could buy your bubble gum on the blockchain right meow  or being manipulated by that logic to unknowingly exert pressure on the developers for said compromise, you're on a wrong train. |

Moscow bought over 10% of all of the BTC in circulation? What clown think tank he claims to work for? |

... Incidentally, while BTC is up 14+% in the last 24 hours, BCH is up over 27% in the same time frame.
Bitcoin's rising tide lifts all altcoins, which tend to go up higher because they are considered to be more risky investments. This has always been the case. BCH and SV aren't rising on their own merits. I suspect they will continue to lose positions in the CMC ranking because their primary marketing tactic continues to be confusing newcomers into thinking they are "the real bitcoin." Its been a failure for them so far and there's no reason to believe that will change in the future. Put yourself in the shoes of the average business owner who is still skeptical of cryptocurrency and is only beginning to consider adopting BTC for their business... Then along comes this chatter about how BCH and SV are better, and they look into it, only to discover that now they have to learn how to use and install 2 more wallets that aren't compatible with BTC, in the hopes that they will have customers who want to pay in BCH and SV. Largely, nobody still wants to pay in BTC, so there's little chance they're going through the hassle of bothering with coins that are not _actually_ bitcoin. With "low" stagnant BTC prices bitmain doesn't have the profits to prop up bcash, so bcash was being priced to go bye bye into the night. Unfortunately BTC going up gives bitmain fatter margins to continue keeping its pet project afloat, so bcash shorts got burned this time around. Gambling on shitcoins being leveraged BTC will burn a lot of "traders". |

We won't need any of that today for the shorts |

WTF happened last night ? Fuck, I'm torn. I've been waiting for this for a looong time but... I was also going to buy today ! What to do, what to do...  We started the uptrend, someone big picked up on that and pulled the trigger hard. Expect others to follow unless this get dumped on hard. Or someone front running good news from Bakkt/ETF etc... Or honey badger |

Verified!
Hope we get to read through the submitted forms when the inevitable "leak" happens.
I am 100% sure there are a few non westerners putting in real data. So this may not be for the best. They gotta learn somehow |
