Oh good info.
Thank you very much for telling me what news website I should avoid using at all cost.
They use tactics to mix truth with a lie, and maybe some people will catch a bait...
Indeed. As an example of these untruth's, today on Bitcoin's (BTC) network launch day ... CoinGeek has posted the following article ... so, let's debunk it (again!) ...

"... As Dr. Craig Wright detailed in his fireside chats at the CoinGeek conferences in Toronto and Seoul in 2019, he worked on the Bitcoin code in his spare time while working at auditing firm BDO. In January 2009 he was finishing up that job, and running a network of 69 computers at separate locations, including his farm in New South Wales... "...
"Proof-of-Fibre Craig's cow ranch Bagnoo 2009
1/2
Previously I looked at Craig's claim of having 60+ computers running Bitcoin during Jan 2009. In this part I'll explore his other claim of running those computers from his weekend cow ranch at Bagnoo NSW, Australia"-

2/2 Conclusion
-No record of a fibre-to-the-home link
-Neighbours have poor internet service
-Evidence that at Craig's ranch there was marginal ADSL, satellite and 3G wireless internet available
Conclusion: No fibre"-

When I started running Bitcoin and joined the network <2010 with fully port forwarded nodes I saw (on average) less than <20 (always on) connections. CSW's alleged number of computers running has also been demonstrated to not match with the mining difficulty on the network or actual number of machines on the network.

"Talking about 69 computers that Craig #Faketoshi Wright claims to have used for Bitcoin in the beginning... total bollocks too of course. @jimmy007forsure did a beautiful thread about that."-
https://twitter.com/MyLegacyKit/status/1213746750986629120"Half of those 69 Bitcoin related computers were in his cow ranch in Bagnoo, Craig has claimed.
"I spent money to have fibre laid and opened up a rural town to fast Internet."
Which didn't happen either, of course."-

Quote CoinGeek article:
"... Speaking of that 69 computer network, something (Dr. Wright has referred to as a Microsoft update) caused the machines to restart at some point between the Genesis Block and Block 1, putting nodes in the network out of sync. Wright frantically ran (and drove) between the distant locations over the next few days, buying expensive Microsoft licenses, installing a domain and workgroup and creating a forest and WUS server—a process that “took most of that whole week”. Dr. Wright gives this as the reason for the six-day break between Block 0 and the first mined block.
Hal Finney helped with the code to get it all running again, along with advice from Dave Kleiman. Of Kleiman, Wright said “I wouldn’t be sane or whatever else without him...”"... Note about the “Microsoft Patch Tuesday” incident:
A few people have pointed out that there wasn’t a Microsoft Patch Tuesday between the 3rd and 9th of January. The first Microsoft Security Bulletin for 2009 was actually released on January 13th, though the company sent out an advance notification on January 8th (the notification wouldn’t have caused any restarts though)..."...

"And Hal Finney only started bug fixing with Satoshi Nakamoto on Jan 10, 2009 which was AFTER the release. No delays there either.
Craig has been lying about these things quite a few times. The real Satoshi would have had these facts straight, of course."-
https://twitter.com/MyLegacyKit/status/1213728461686218752"... "There are people who helped when I asked." - #Faketoshi
Meanwhile, the real Satoshi didn't ask, he happily received Hal Finney's first email offering help with "Crash in bitcoin 0.1.0"
That's what you get when #Faketoshi is on a backdating spree. Numerous mistakes. 🤦♂️ ..."-

Looks like CoinGeek edited the article(s), ... thus proving they indeed publish 'fake news' ...
"😂 hilarious!
Note that Coingeek deleted the disclaimer (screenshot attached) and the article has been rewritten without mentioning the "update"."-

"The first article 6 days ago still says "Also, January 6, 2009, was a Microsoft “Patch Tuesday” which updated and restarted Dr. Wright’s network of 69 machines, throwing them out of sync." though.
