POLL Is Craig Wright Satoshi Nakamoto?

[Dotto]

What do you think?

To me seems legit...

[Quickseller]

Most likely no, IMO. There are too many warning signs of some kind of a scam attempt (or an attempt to defraud some entity)

[gentlemand]

Hmm. Time will tell. There are some rather strange aspects to the whole tale such as the rampant egomania bubbling under and the talk of edited blogs et al. On the other side there's lots of compelling stuff too. I assume Satoshi had some sort of brain injury in the intervening years as this guy doesn't sound all that similar but it was a persona.

[Hyperjacked]

I think it's highly probable that Wright is Satoshi!

[koshgel]

Don't think so but then again don't think there is conclusive evidence either way.

Skynet created Cryptocurrency around early 2011 thats when the software program became self reinforcing   

[Liquid]

It's Him!

Nope. This Wright guy is vain. Look at Satoshi's posts on this forum and there is no sign of that vanity.

There is a word "bloody"...

Satoshi:

Sorry to be a wet blanket. Writing a description for (bitcoin) for general audiences is bloody hard. There’s nothing to relate it to.

Craig S Wright:

Bloody secrets.
Always a flaw with obscurity. It can gain time but always fails in the long term.

This really gone viral even in our local Bitcoin group in Facebook. I just read the latest shared article here in this forum and seems convincing if you will only based on the story and will not seek much deeper about it.

Reading comments now.

[Blawpaw]

I'll only believe it when he proves he is the real creator of Bitcoin!

[AgentofCoin]

Satoshi Signed PGP, or GTFO.
He is either a hoaxer/scammer or a government op.

Definitely agree with this statement.

[jertsy]

Satoshi Signed PGP, or GTFO.

Did Satoshi ever sign anything with his PGP key? I heard he never signed anything, and someone said it's useless unless he did. However, I don't understand PGP too well. Did Satoshi ever post his public PGP key anywhere?

I know he could sign a message from an early Bitcoin address if his PGP key is useless, but I'm curious whether it is or not.

[icezer0z]

No, he just wants exactly what is happening...attention.

Then again, who know

I concur.

And even if he was, I don't think he will reveal himself. People can speculate, but we won't know without any proof.

[Bit_Happy]

The Wired article was interesting and sometimes almost convincing.
If he is a fake, then the real Satoshi is glad to have some fool grab a bunch of attention.

[keepdoing]

There has been much speculation over the years that Satoshi must have had incredible processing power.  Perhaps the biggest take away from the 1 hour 15 minute video conference < see video at: http://www.wired.com/2015/12/bitcoins-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-is-probably-this-unknown-australian-genius/ > is Craig Wright's claim to operate the world's 15th largest Supercomputer, just a hair less powerful than that of the NSA.  He identified it.....

TULIP TRADING < http://www.top500.org/site/50547 >

CORES:: 265,440   / RMAX (GFLOP/S):: 3,521,000   RPEAK (GFLOP/S):: 4,470,408

This will not be difficult to verify.  Everyone will be all over it tomorrow.  Truth will come out.  

I watched the entire video.  It was quite informative, and I suggest everyone watch the entire video.  If this IS Satoshi, then based on his revelations here..... things are getting ready to get very interesting in bitcoin land.  And my guess is that a lot of the plans being laid by bankers to run private blockchains just got very shaky.   Watch video.  It is worth the hour and fifteen minutes.

He can prove or disprove it moving some of the 1.1M BTC and texting "Im wright" or "Im not wright"

But... why he would dox himself? Seem like a easy target for ramson and too much attention... Maybe to take control of his creation? (Allowing/disalowing BIP 101, for example?)

Questions, questions... maybe time will tell, maybe.

Well there is Dave Kleiman, the guy who died, it's possible he was the driving force even though plenty about his final circumstances doesn't add up either.

[peonminer]

Bait and switch. Decoy. He knows of him, though. It's like the Joker. He masks his minions and sends them out as the bait.
