Albeit not stupid, I'll give you one guess as to who penned the following article back in December 2015: http://www.coindesk.com/police-raid-home-of-alleged-bitcoin-creator-craig-wright/ HINT: He attended University of Massachusetts located in Amherst where Gavin Andresen currently resides, and has extensive experience managing teams of journalists and copywriters, guiding editorial content and larger product vision.

gleb, did you also remember the original gizmodo/wired "tip off" was from craig wright himself. asking all the media to sign a NDA until he was out of australia and in the uk before release

and craig wright done the same again later on to another bunch of people when he done the signature fail reveal

as well as the bit inbetween where craig wright was 'introduced' to the community by a select few people before anyone knew him.

(even back then i thought it all seemed like orchestrated and fake media drama)

Quote
In early November 2015, Gizmodo [and wired] received a series of anonymous tip emails from someone who claimed to not only know the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, but who also claimed to have worked for him. “I hacked Satoshi Naklamoto [sic],” the first message read. “These files are all from his business account. The person is Dr Craig Wright.” What followed was a package of email files apparently pulled directly from an Outlook account belonging to Craig Wright, an Australian academic, computer engineering expert, and serial entrepreneur with a litany of degrees and corporations to his name.

(spoiler: craig himself was the tipster)

all because craig wright was under legal pressure due to questions over his empty tulip trust and was being harassed by australian government to prove its value. (due to the dmorgan ltd saga of aus$54m of government funding)
he needed to get the australian government off his back by trying to suggest his tulip trust actually held real assets(it doesnt). and also create yet another business backed by the (in reality empty) tulip trust

http://www.businessinsider.com.au/aussie-technologists-are-opening-the-worlds-first-bitcoin-based-bank-this-year-2014-2

here is wired's recanting their belief craig was satoshi
https://www.wired.com/2015/12/new-clues-suggest-satoshi-suspect-craig-wright-may-be-a-hoaxer/

Quote
That final piece of evidence in particular resonates with something we pointed out in our original story: Wright seemed to planting breadcrumbs that would lead us to his theoretical secret identity. In fact, we’d already spotted that the three posts in Wright’s now-deleted blog that seemed to reveal his bitcoin work had been backdated or edited after the fact to insert that evidence; the clues were all missing in archived versions of the posts from 2013. Combined with our other apparently solid evidence, however, we wavered on whether the backdated posts were the sign of a hoax to steal Satoshi’s glory (or money), or simply the sign of a conflicted personality who may have hoped to finally receive credit for his work.

The two major holes in Wright’s resume that have come to light since, however, point to a hoaxer who may have planted clues of his purported bitcoin creation, just as he seems to have misrepresented his academic credentials and supercomputing achievements.

You monkeys remember this post from nearly two and a half years ago?  If Hal was part of the Satoshi team and he/they also created IXC then you're all gonna get a rude awakening. 

Now help me figure out the other 2 names. 



riddle me this:


[what if]




The creator of Bitcoin was living in Temple City.

Now remember who created [in 2004] the proof of work.  Hal Finney.

Where did he live?  Temple City.

Who received the first transaction?  Hal Finney.

You know everything about crypto currencies/Bitcoin and let someone else take the credit? No way!

He prepared everything and then asked one of his two [tech savvy] children (Jason or Erin) to transmit it over the internet from their home.

Hal was a dreamer and libertarian. He realizes btc will be misused by criminals and govts and get taken over by the elite miners, bankers, investors, etc., before it has a chance to mature, before the masses have a chance to accumulate it.

In 2011 he retires. He decides to start a parallel project, but since he was sick (diagnosed in 2009) he needed a shorter time of mining. He then got very sick, unable to follow the project so he asked someone he trusted, his son, to take over the new project.

He decided to create a premine in order to be able to control the direction and development and to throw off any suspicion of iXcoin being in any way a legitimate coin, to keep away hoarders and the elite - long enough to allow the masses to accumulate iXcoin.  Merge mining was also implemented within the first 6 months to prevent the same easy mass accumulation by only a few, like what happened with Bitcoin.



Hal's son, Jason, who has been described as tech savvy decides to take over his dying father's final project.  This explain the same style in writing, between Satoshi Nakamoto and Thomas Nasakioto, the same kindness, his competence and his fear to be discovered.


The use of acronyms in the name Thomas vs Satoshi, it's telling you the creator is still the same, but this time he wants things to be different, like:  "it's still me, but my idea is different - the outcome will be different - the elite have been fooled into chasing the wrong coin."

Also embedding in the acronym, the message, his final wish:  The Twin to lift up the Colonies.

And the name Jason can mean healer or "The Lord is Salvation" similar to IXC = Jesus Christ Savior, following the same religious pattern embedded throughout iXcoin.


Finally, the complete name of Hal Finney is:  Harold Thomas Finney II.



You almost had me convinced till ...

Chris Master Bates is a scammer and anything he's involved with is a scam.  Nobody cares about some paid for infomercial ad on cointelegraph.  It's just a bunch of crap to make these idiots look legitimate.  This isn't a project it's a scam.

Fadele says: “Considering the functions of BitLand as an organization that aims to provide services that allow individuals and organizations to survey land and record deeds onto the Bitshares Blockchain. A project which is already working in Kumasi, Ghana and looking to expand their reach further into the African continent Nigeria is certainly a perfect destination.”

Chief Security Officer and President, Larry Christopher Bates expressed optimism and hope towards this project as he looks forward to a fruitful cooperation with the government of Nigeria.

That is the first Pete Rizzo article that I think is stupid and useless. Unless he already has the follow up story and has a solid lead on who Satoshi really is, I am quite disappointed that he came up with that article. He made me waste 5 min.s of my life by reading it.

Let me see if I got this straight. It took you five minutes to read a short article that takes most every other English speaking person in the world no more than one minute to read. On top of that, in the same sentence you expressed wasting your life by reading it in spite of clearly known to all reading this reply that you indeed got paid for your efforts via posting about your dreadful experience which includes a paid sig campaign below the fold that you're participating in, ergo not a waste. How close am I?

So there wasn't any margin that he made there wasn't profit he just had to spend less bitcoins because the price rose

Bitcoin Magazine or whoever wrote the article doesn't seem to think that way.


Quote
“With that extra money, he went and bought a Lamborghini at Newport Beach, Orange County, which also accepts bitcoin with Bitpay,” added Singh. “He got a house for pretty much 25 percent cheaper, as well as a free Lamborghini essentially.”[/size]

Free Lambo! Sign me up for that Cheesy

I'd say that'll be an excellent free advertisement for the dealership under the guise of news.

My thoughts exactly. Especially because the dealer in question doesn't even like publicity... in several websites or communities... nor do they have a nice social media presence...
And apparently neither BitPay are fans of "Lambo's", maybe someone's just a big fan of BitPay.

Man buys house with Bitcoin, lucks into a $1.3M profit: https://thenextweb.com/money/2017/01/27/bitcoin-buyer-house-profit/

How do we know that the [once] anonymous purchaser acquired $4M worth of bitcoins at a $750 (per) price point, assumed by Sonny Singh, Bitpay's CCO, then rehashed virtually verbatim by trusted news outlets, thus definitively espousing an exact (more or less) profit of $1.3M? The [once] anonymous purchaser may have procured the bitcoins at a much lower exchange rate or at its all time high back in the fall of 2013 during the time I was digging an imu pit so to cook some turkeys for the homeless at Satoshi Forest prior to heading to a Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas where I donned a pink tutu (sans knee pads) to bring awareness to the Tutu Project, but I digress.

Unless Sonny had inside knowledge as to what price point the [once] anonymous purchaser procured $4M worth of bitcoins, opting not to disclose such in spite of blabbermouthing about the dude's high-end purchases, there's no way for sure to calculate the profit true amount of bitcoins saved thanks to an [unexpected] rise in the exchange rate when the deed papers were finalized, then affording the buyer to purchase a Lamborghini with the windfall because that's what one does when they have extra money in their pocket after purchasing a new den [complete with a guest house, all surrounded by a privacy wall a stone's throw from the Pacific].

Ergo, a sensationalize story published so to garner eyeballs to periodicals that rely on ad revenue to survive if not making bank off other ventures directly linked from the news sites also under the same auspices.

Hey, if I'm off-base here with my assessment, then why the hell didn't the Lamborghini dealership release a story of how a [once] anonymous dude was able to make a purchase via bitcoins after purchasing a $4M home using less bitcoins for said purchase than originally expected, hence affording him to now drive around in style up and down the California beaches as the radio blares Let's Hear It for the Boy? I'd say that'll be an excellent free advertisement for the dealership under the guise of news. Then again, a dealership, or a broker, or a third-party payment provider could easily make up similar stories involving anonymous dudes so to freely advance their respective endeavors via rumors under the pretense of breaking news.

Think about it!

CW cannot move any "Satoshi" coins, so he is not Satoshi Nakamoto.... PERIOD.  Angry
To everyone else here who isn't an idiot, this is not how logic works.
If CW could move "Satoshi" coins, would that be enough? It seems that all he would need is the actual coins to gain the profits he is seeking. What more could receiving the credit for the technology do for him. After all, bitcoin is much larger than the name of the person who launched it. Right? Does it matter who Homer is when considering the Illiad or the Oddesey. Would those books be better if we knew more about Homer's identity?  Not so much.  Who ever moves the "Satoshi" coins gets the bigger prize in this case--it seems to me at least.

The chronological period of Homer depends on the meaning to be assigned to the word "Homer". Was Homer a single person, an imaginary person representing a group of poets, or the imaginary author of a traditional body of oral myths? If the works attributed either wholly or partially to a blind poet named Homer, were really authored by such a person, then he must have had biographical dates, or a century or other historical period, which can be described as "the life and times of Homer".

Australian flim-flam man: I am homer.
Millions of naysayers: Prove it!
Australian flim-flam man: No prob! I'm meeting a man who knows his shit at my office atop a high-rise building.
Gavin Andresen: I have met The Man, and after hearing him recite the epic poem Casey at the Bat, I'm totally convinced that he's Homer.
G.A.'s peers: Excuse me, but that epic poem is not an epic Greek poem.
Gavin Andresen: Wait, what? But he even showed me documents proving that Casey at the Bat was originally published by some anonymous dude under the pen name "Phin" (short for "Phinney"), claiming that was one of Homer's blind sockpuppets.

Attendee at Homer's Roundtable: This is epic! The Australian flim-flam man is about to once again prove that he's Homer. Who here has Bitcoin Magazine on speed dial so that we can relay the news? And somebody order some more Romulan Ale, for my cup runneth empty.

Quote
"Procession" is a 1971 song by The Moody Blues, and it is the opening track on their album Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. It is their only song to have been co-written by all five members of the band.

For the most part, "Procession" is an instrumental song, with the exception of its three spoken words: "desolation", "creation", and "communication". These words, as well as other words ending in "-ation" also appear on the album track "One More Time to Live."

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/man-accidentally-makes-13-million-buying-house-bitcoin/

Quote
According to the numbers provided by Singh, the buyer of the home was left with an extra $1.3 million after the purchase of the home.

“With that extra money, he went and bought a Lamborghini at Newport Beach, Orange County, which also accepts bitcoin with Bitpay,” added Singh. “He got a house for pretty much 25 percent cheaper, as well as a free Lamborghini essentially.”

That's interesting!

Timeline:

Anonymous dude flushed with bitcoins wants to purchase $4M home via bitcoins.
Anonymous dude ask anonymous broker if he, seller and/or respective banks can process a bitcoin payment.
Anonymous broker needed to get up to speed so he contacts Sonny Singh of Bitpay.
Anonymous broker is satisfied and allows the bitcoin dealing to go through some time later, of which during the interim bitcoin price was on a tear.
Anonymous purchasing dude doles out less bitcoins then originally thought he would, so he opts to purchase a Lamborghini because the garage was empty.
Shortly thereafter, Sonny Singh proclaims to the world about how one, now two of Bitpay's clients sold and purchased a $4M home via bitcoins. Further, Sonny let's the world know more about Bitpay's client by stating that the anonymous dude purchased a Lamborghini also with bitcoins using Bitpay as the third-person payment provider from the Lamborghini dealership that accepts bitcoins.

Now, if you went to your local bank and took out a loan for some abstract purchase, and later in the day while at some restaurant you overhear a conversation between two unknowns speaking about said abstract purchase by some anonymous dude unbeknownst to them, you would be highly pissed and be on the phone contacting your lawyer because the only people privy to the transaction were you and your banker, with the former owner of the abstract residing in some foreign country, thus eliminating him or her from the equation of leaking said purchase.

Yet, here we have the Bitpay CCO during exactly such that, thinking that speaking of the parties anonymously protects their identity. Well, I got some sad news to report to you, Sunshine. Thanks to the blockchain and the timeframes alluded to, I'm now the proud owner of the txID and am 99% certain as to who the purchaser is, again, all thanks to blabbermouth Sonny Singh. And, if I can uncover such with my rudimentary skills, imagine what some others could do with better forensic tools at their disposal. Imagine further if such a person were nefarious actor with some major ill-intent in mind. Get the picture?

To be clear, THERE IS NO WAY IN MOTHERFUCKIN HELL THAT SONNY SIGNH, BITPAY'S CCO, SHOULD'VE EXPRESSED ANY FUCKIN THING ABOUT A SINGLE CLIENT OF THEIRS OUTTA FEAR OF CAUSING THEM UNDUE HARM. If some subordinate employee of Bitpay were caught disclosing vitals of a client no matter how mundane, they would, or should be immediately terminated. If not, they Bitpay would have some major explaining to do. Oh, wait! They now have some MEGA explaining to do thanks, again, to blabbermouth Sonny Signh.

On a side note, I wonder what Block Pierce has been doing lately there in Hermosa I mean LA (speaking of Hermosa I mean LA).

BF Labs, Inc. Processes $1 Million Bitcoin Merchant Transaction for Institutional Bitcoin Mining Hardware Purchase

Butterfly Labs (BF Labs Inc.), the Kansas-based leader in Bitcoin Mining technology, has announced that it has processed a payment of One Million dollars in Bitcoin through Bitpay - the largest single transaction ever executed by a Bitcoin payment processor.

These funds represent a down-payment on a multi-million dollar order from HashTrade, a sister company of one of Butterfly Labs' largest existing customers. The multi-PetaHash order is for Butterfly's innovative 28nm Monarch card, and these initial funds will be used to enable production of products which the company will begin delivering in December 2013.

Yet, with one of my old wallets I doled out 0.0035 BTC for the privilege of sending a lot less fewer bitcoins...



The following is all four transactions for the 1Hq2t6dJcxqZjGda919p4c4tmopNRLciAJ address used by Sonny Vleisides for the supposed sale of bitcoin mining ASIC chips - https://blockchain.info/address/1Hq2t6dJcxqZjGda919p4c4tmopNRLciAJ




All the bitcoins that flowed to 1Hq2t6dJcxqZjGda919p4c4tmopNRLciAJ (BFL's or Sonny Vleisides' personal account) went to 1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs shown above, including the scant amount - 0.01001691 BTC - from 17HSPT3bhYE1rhrwAhi8k6GCGGXRdQimY7 and the 59.9273 BTC from 1DiPE4TnBczmPVoy53tffrd1iNPq87B3PB, the latter seen here: https://blockchain.info/tx/827063279c43c50c3f4c690dbf491071386d80068115f48d0beee7e80b4c7f2f.

Revisiting the 1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs bitcoin wallet address, the following image depicts 0 BTC tx fees paid when HashTrade supposedly paid BFL via BitPay that infamous million-dollar down payment for their multi-million dollar order of Monarchs as the press release reveals here: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/10/prweb11283333.htm.

BF Labs, Inc. Processes $1 Million Bitcoin Merchant Transaction for Institutional Bitcoin Mining Hardware Purchase

Butterfly Labs Announces $1 Million Down-Payment on Multi-Million Dollar Order for Next Generation Bitcoin Mining Hardware. Deposit will help enable production of innovative 28nm Monarch card.

<the following image gleaned from https://blockchain.info/tx/1b6ea350c094071412df1f801651263fd65ffa0b89ad6c8626ceeca8755f50bc>



According to the press release, the $1M USD that HashTrade supposedly paid BFL stemming from 1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs was paid to BitPay's wallet address 16fus1FKurpDmPtEZLGbg7vRYtH2TEFbYf.

ONLY 16 hours later, that same $1M USD equaling 5,562.354 BTC had 437.646 BTC added to it, and a new wallet - 1EXDF4fvjRozJ96TjF4SPN7rbTx2ik6Dsd - was created to store 6,000 BTC that has been untouched to this very day, as seen here: https://blockchain.info/tx/ff0fb375a2375b2b9ee7e8daa5759085d8fe8cd85280a97b1dfbb14005f36153, and further illustrated with...



Again, nary a tx fee was paid to the miners, proof with the following:



Note the confirmation time: Only ~11 minutes to get the tx confirmed with nary a fee. I say that's an impossibility for HashTrade to transfer a million dollars worth of BTC to BFL via BitPay if they do indeed maintain the 1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs bitcoin wallet address, of which I'm 100% confident they DO NOT!

BFL/Sonny Vleisides owns the 1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs bitcoin wallet address, as well as the 1EXDF4fvjRozJ96TjF4SPN7rbTx2ik6Dsd BWA, for all the bitcoins that make up the 437.646 BTC to round the wallet up to 6,000 BTC also stemmed from BFL.

BitPay may very well control the 16fus1FKurpDmPtEZLGbg7vRYtH2TEFbYf BWA used to funnel the infamous $1M USD from supposedly HashTrade to BFL, but, again, I contend that said funds were redirected back to BFL's control via parameters they set on their BitPay account.

The only thing that puzzles me now is how if BitPay was used as the payment service provider for the $1M USD transaction, why were no tx fees accrued?

To recap...

Sonny Vleisides owned the 1Hq2t6dJcxqZjGda919p4c4tmopNRLciAJ BWA.

Thousands of transactions from BFL ended up going to 1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs.

1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs was claimed to be owned by HashTrade to pay the $1M USD down payment for BFL Monarchs.

The $1M USD payment from 1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs plus other transactions stemming from BFL totally 6,000 BTC went to the 1EXDF4fvjRozJ96TjF4SPN7rbTx2ik6Dsd BWA after one hop, supposedly BitPay's BWA 16fus1FKurpDmPtEZLGbg7vRYtH2TEFbYf.

CoinWare and HashTrade have received substantial venture capital investment from the Jacobson Brothers, in order to help establish these emerging businesses, ensure that they have a strong foundation and secure all the capital equipment necessary to deliver the data processing services that the different business models require.

The Jacobson brothers own the Canadian Bitcoin Embassy and the Miami Bitcoin Embassy, both entities that the Bitcoin Development Fund donated 25 BTC to, of which they, too, have yet to liquidate as seen here: https://blockchain.info/address/1LAT5Zzf12cZqDy86ee2mcWhNZpk9DLf1D. Furthermore, I can easily show other BFL moneys flowing to this very address, not to mention from pools closely aligned with BFL.

All that said, which Bitcoin-themed periodical is going to be the first to publish this revelation? And, why haven't nary a one uncovered any of this before?

I love how this thread became a battleground of people supporting different scaling solutions instead of discussing Satoshi=Wright news.
Coindesk totally hit the spot there, bitcoin biggest secret - news about uncovering Satoshi's identity will always bring the biggest crowd to the table.


Dude, wait till you read a tad further to see RawDog and I playing swords with one clean and one filthy epee.

The article is fact after fact after fact.......

Everything is perfectly cited.

John Nash created bitcoin, anyone that sincerely looks at the facts will agree.

My theory is that traincarswreck caused the taxicab accident that took John and Alicia Nash's life.
