Gavin explains how Craig Wright convinced him: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4hhecv/gavin_explains_how_craig_wright_convinced_him/Craig signed a message that I chose ("Gavin's favorite number is eleven. CSW" if I recall correctly) using the private key from block number 1.
That signature was copied on to a clean usb stick I brought with me to London, and then validated on a brand-new laptop with a freshly downloaded copy of electrum.
I was not allowed to keep the message or laptop (fear it would leak before Official Announcement).
I don't have an explanation for the funky OpenSSL procedure in his blog post.

Disappointed in Gavin......again.
Putting tin foil on, it could be an attempt to flush out the real Satoshi.

I am just giving an advice: Stake a bitcoin address now and sell it again later after 3-4 months and I won't really mind bidding a whooping 0.1btc for this excellent quality post account.
Thanks for the offer (and compliment)  but I'm planning on taking some time out from the forum. |

Apologies to the previous bidders.

Hmm...ok I've just realised that most if not all the addresses associated with this account are deposit addresses for Cryptsy so I wont be able to provide a signed message as promised in the OP.....
If anyone wants to retract their bid, I completely understand.
@jamesl22 0.005 btc is the minimum bid, thanks.

The address I posted on the DaDice thread was a Cryptsy deposit so I can't sign that one. Should be able to sign the other one tho, will post a signed message asap. - - - - - Current highest bid: 0.02 (Avirunes) |

I'm well aware of the consequences of revealing the account for auction. No more shit-posts please |

Auction is for this account.Can provide a signed message. Starting bid 0.01 btc Auction finishes 24 hours after last bid.

Is BTC-e really registered in Cyprus? I know the exchange is owned and operated by Russians but if you do a Google search it says that it's a cryptocurrency exchange based in Bulgaria. Where did you find it's registered in Cyprus? Maybe they opted to register in Cyprus because Cyprus has the most lenient trade laws in the EU or something.
According to this old Coindesk article: Although from its Google search description, BTC-e appears to be headquartered in Bulgaria, it uses Czech banks and the managing company is in fact based in Cyprus. http://www.coindesk.com/russian-prosecutors-office-btc-e-investigation-hoax/BTC-e terms & conditions: Jurisdiction Laws in the country where the user resides may not allow the usage of an online tool with the characteristics of BTC-e or any of its features. BTC-e does not encourage the violation of any laws and cannot be held responsible for violation of such laws.

There's a digital goods section on https://bitify.com/ though I'm not sure if they have instant delivery for downloads etc. |

I send a 5dollar payment to a friend of mine (but with goods, as it was a real trade) , and he got 4.5... 10% fee, really??
Yes this have also happened to me in past several times. They are getting richer and richer daily with 10%+ fees and also minimum fee system they have. Yeah paypal have got a lot greedier, I ended up closing my ebay shop after they raised all the fees (on both ebay and paypal). For now I'm looking forward to services like Open Bazaar and Bitsquare getting more recognition. |

in the mean time, OpenBazaar is opened and it's acting like SilkRoad. Has it gone full drugs already? No, that's a massive over-exaggeration. I've seen a couple of dodgy listings on there but they had been taken down the last time I checked. The revolution shall not be OB'd |

Is this a real picture of George Osborne buying the bitcoin?
Yeah I can't remember exactly when or where it taken, but it is definitely bum nose (Osborne). More than likely a token PR exercise to make himself look all modern and up-to-date. That's how they roll in the Nu-Tory Party, wishy washy public relations with no substance...... it was taken at a fintech-exhibition roughly 1 year ago. Aha! thanks for letting me know |

Ouch! doesn't really inspire confidence...
How have they managed to spend so much btc? There's only so much you can spend on blow and hookers.

We've already got sites like Bitify ( https://bitify.com/), there were another couple of btc marketplaces but I've forgotten their names now. I still have high hopes for OB, happy with what they done so far but there are still quite a few issues that need to be addressed. |

The interesting aspect of that is a man facing some scrutiny over being connected to the panama papers,so not sure if we want him endorsing bitcoin on his way out the door. The banks love blockchain but not bitcoin and the reason they want it is so they can go back to controlling every aspect of our finances.
Too late mate, George Osborne's already bought Dodgy Dave some bitcoin so he can buy some flake off Nucleus.  |
