I dont think he is. Satoshi would care lot better to stay anonymous and this dude is just trying to get as much attention as he can get.

He wanted to be 'Oshi so bad. Or someone wanted him to be. All he did was SWAT himself. Probably did it for the lulz.

Or he's jumping on a grenade to protect The Creator.

Szabo and Craig have both recently gone from invisible to high profile.  That's one way to try and stay alive when in the Eye of Sauron.

Did they say how Kleiman died anywhere? There will be new interest in this story, IF it was due to unnatural causes. The 1 Million bitcoin paycheck in 2020 would be a big enough incentive for people to do crazy stuff.

Wired just opened up a can of worms with this find, and he most probably has a big stash of coins apart from the 1.1 million, if he has been mining with the super computer for a while. Imagine that, Satoshi not going the ASIC route and still mining with a super computer.

In a way, I want this to be him, because this uncertainty created a whole lot of fear and conspiracy theory, keeping some countries for example Estonia in two minds about the acceptance of Bitcoin. ^hmf^

It just doesn't make sense why he would reveal himself now.

He was unknown all this time and all of a sudden wants to make a presence? Seems like a guy that just wants attention.

The late edits to posts to "insert" relevance to bitcoin is kind of damning to explain a hoax but being able to use the same PGP signature seems like evidence that can't be hoaxed, right?

A few things to think about:
  • He references "great coders" behind the project, so it's not just him but a group of people involved in the creation (if he is involved)
  • Hearing about his breadcrumbs and insecurity and weakness in potentially leaking his identity is making me like him less and less

I think it's best that Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity be kept a mystery, that way "he" can embody all the values each of us wants in him.

P.S. Depending on how this plays out WIRED could be enemy number 1 of bitcoin if this article harms the Project.

Probably nope.

When he says he's been "running Bitcoin since 2009", that's interesting
though. I take it to mean that he has been running the client and mining from
very early date.

Or then again he may have been just bragging. There is certainly
amount of megalomania there.

The authority will try to get most out of bitcoin. However, I do not think that guy is Satoshi. Satoshi is invisible.

He did not admit anything in fact. Quoting Wired I'd say "Either Wright invented bitcoin, or he's a brilliant hoaxer who very badly wants us to believe he did."
Lots of signs match: the ultimate proof would be that he shows he owns the keys of the 1 million BTC address but I don't think that will happen. Anyway this story gets more and more interesting and cryptic.

If being Satoshi was a crime, could Wright be convicted?
I don't think so.

On the other hand, he may have been part of an original duo and he may have leaked the info on purpose because it suits his agenda at the moment. 

One thing I don't get is how a guy so talented with access to a bitcoin fortune lives so modestly.
Even if he doesn't care about money, he's got a wife and children.

Anybody with children who had access to a fortune, even if they don't want to spend it on themselves, would invest on the best possible education for their children.

What's the story with Wright's wife and kids?

I voted probably not, it doesnt really matter that much though.  It is a little interesting in that youtube video the way he acts when asked about his background in bitcoin.  He could also be a fraud, all he has to do is sign a address.

Probably not, but at least this guy is involved with bitcoin, like a lot, Dorian Nakamoto doesn't even knew what bitcoin was.
