Guilty until proven innocent

There is also the other side of ... say, someone says "You are not Satoshi! Because you can't prove it!" ... That would of course be true for the most part, since no one buy the real one can prove it through math... on the assumption that one who has the private keys is most like the real Satoshi.

I'm not sure whether you frame that as guilty, or innocent, depending on perspective. No one is Satoshi until they can prove it, and that proof consists of signed messages.

I mean, if someone says "I am Satoshi." But do not provide evidence or proof, then they are guilty of lying or fraud or at the very least plain stupidity. Someone else who believes that person may be an innocent victim who got fooled.

If someone were accused of being Satoshi and they say "No, I am NOT Satoshi." I would say that person is innocent and he does not need to prove that he isn't Satoshi, for we all know, no one else can prove that.


If someone says "Hey, you scammered me out of my coins." Well, then, they better provide some background and history and transactions and addresses we can look up in the blockchain through any explorer.

Yes you are correct, this has never been a court of law. Everything posted here can be read by everyone though, ... but as in any organization, a few bad apples does not represent the whole, not all DT members are abusive. I couldn't even say one becomes a "member" by any kind of application process but rather most get in through their own merit. (not forum merit, which is another system.)
