I just don't understand what was his point in all this scheme... What was he trying to achieve??? Just a recognition has the designer of the most significant invention of the 21th century??? That remains a mystery as well.

[QuestionAuthority]

He is not Satoshi because his broke ass would already have sold half his coin reserves before this experiment goes tits up.

I have a theory an its only a theory because wright was open about liking the idea of 20mb blocks gavin seen this as a way to get his agenda passed.
Its the only way i can see that he would be blind enough to believe it if he had something to gain from it if it was true.
Nothing like saying well Satoshi agrees with it so why not, that may have not been the case an maybe he wanted to be the first to say i helped confirm it.

a poll about dave kleiman would be more interesting..

It's about that and that alone. Perhaps he need that recognition or just looking for some media attention. Either way this story is taking too long.

haha, those who said yes no doubt should feel silly these days.

[BitcoinPaw]

I think no, i belvie Satoshi is other person, proffesor in univercity can't really make a crypto currency without any hype around himself.

[Betwrong]

haha, those who said yes no doubt should feel silly these days.

Actually I just voted Probably yes. I looked through some previous interviews with him and the more I saw the more I was convinced it's him. I don't think today is the time to say it's definitely not him. And how to explain this btw:

[SparkedDev]

Yeah just because it wasn't at the start it is a thing now.
There is no excuse for not being able to do so, unless he lost the original wallet an or private keys.

[criptix]

Cake white is satoshi.

100%.

I never liez.

If Wright IS (still) Satoshi (give me a bit here)

And wanted to 'deflect' his 'outing'

You do this dog and pony show....wait a month...make Satoshi email announcement and say 'I am not Craig Wright'   We are all Satoshi!

And move 1 million coins out and back and go poof for good

2020 comes Craig Wright touches NO early wallets of Satoshi


Folk. By then would be utterly convinced and Satoshi pulls off the double fake😄

( I don't buy it either just saying) 😇


Heh.    Deflection     Score!

I voted "probably nope" because none of it made sense strategically.

How about this:

It would have been the perfect opportunity for the real Satoshi to move all his coins with a message saying, "I, Craig Wright, am Satoshi Nakamoto."  This would have allowed him to get away with his stake in the project while remaining perfectly anonymous.  

Maybe Craig Wright ran a game theory analysis and gambled that that would be an optimal maneuver for Satoshi.  Satoshi would get his preferred outcome, anonymity, while Wright would get his preferred outcome, notoriety. One step ahead of the game?

My nightmare is he says he has access to a trust with some ungodly billions of $$$ of bitcoin that he can access
Jan 1st 2020....

As badly as he has been treated...(correctly I may add .Satoshi or not he is an ass) ....by the bitcoin community and
the worldwide press

he could laugh and sell and flush the whole works down to 400 buck btc just for giggles and still come away with millions

not saying it is true...only 1 out of  1,000 chance he is Satoshi...but my version of a crypto nightmare indeed on that date...

(brahahahaha scared you!)

Also, hal finney and the other guy he claims were in his group...all passed away..my view is he was not really the inventor
just part of the group if it was true....and as last man standing...if what he says is true...we are beyond screwed...

and not to point it out too much ...if/and/or/but he still is and always will be imho, the biggest ass hat in crypto

(bruahahaha scared self!)

The procedure for proving private key ownership involves a simple standard task. Someone sends you a message, you sign it with your private key, return the signed message to the sender who is then able to verify your private key signature with your corresponding public key.

Craig Wright has avoided this self-evident, simple procedure at every request.

Ha hah! What else can prove better this guy really is a scam artist?

Good job on the necro, dude...

ROFLMAO you just revealed what side you're playin in this game.

Btw. This topic is NOT CLOSED, LOCKED or NEWLY OPENED TOPIC so people are free to comment. I think this is a purpose of the whole message forum systems.

Hey moderators!

So I cannot write about my opinions here ?
Look at the subject of this thread -> my post definitely was not off-topic !
I just wanted to say my opinion in this matter. I apologize the last line that was not a good behaviour from me so it can be deleted.

Here is the message without it:

--- My opinion in this matter is as follows:

The procedure for proving private key ownership involves a simple standard task. Someone sends you a message, you sign it with your private key, return the signed message to the sender who is then able to verify your private key signature with your corresponding public key.

Craig Wright has avoided this self-evident, simple procedure at every request.

What could be the reason for this ?

Again, I don't believe craig wright is Satoshi, but I was in previous posts playing the scare game.

so to continue the scare game

IF he is Satoshi the main reason he would NOT prove he is such conclusively is that Craig Wright owes the Australian Goverment Millions in back
taxes for a supposed tax break he got back before KNC miners, for a data farm in Europe and equipment he never bought. (I believe he thought
he bought gold instead, but the guy disappeared with that money)

Thus, IF he was to prove he was Satoshi, the Australian Gov't would want to be paid promptly and directly or he would go to jail.

Now he can muddy the waters with the Austalian Gov't, get duboius investors in his patent everything bitcoin and crypto related and stall
till Jan 1st 2010 as he has stated when he has access to all of the trust funds from him, hal finey and the other guy...both who passed away.

See ..went and scared myself again I did.....shudder

[milagm]

...

Do you know was this "Gov't thing" around and known before or after he came out in BBC interviews and elsewhere he tried to prove something by his cooked programming scripts ?

If it was after then it really is possible he just made a mistake to come public with his claims and vanished. In this case what you're saying can be viewed in a new and different light I think...

But but... why he did any scripts while he could just do that signature thing ? -> 100% proof, no questions asked. 100% accepted by the community.

Think about it:
You are a Satoshi and after years you just decide "no I am not gonna take this quessing game anymore. I come out". Should you allready know that what you're going to offer must be a real proof. What is the most easiest way to do it? Well it is that signature thing what I told you earlier.

I am sorry but this just smells way too much for me

I agree..it smells...I"m just playing the 'scare the hell out of me game' in that if he is Satoshi and such and gets a hold of the group trust he was part of with
Hal Finney and the other guy as the true makers of bitcoin (both have passed) ...then crap.....he seems the vindictive sort

and no he was outed by the Australian gov't I believe snooping (*he hinted he was Satoshi to friends) thus they were all over his ass

Craig Wright did not come out voluntarily he was pushed out..either to confirm his scam and lies he got himself into or that he was part of the satoshi group

as he claims

just saying, he did not do this ORIGINALLY for fame, but now he may be just an imposter riding the wave....

but again, only 1 out of 1,000 chance he was part of the supposed satoshi group as he claims

still ...the last guy in the world you'd want with all that bitcoin/power and money if he has access to the private keys

damn, went and scared myself again (off to change shorts)
