I think he is. There are just to many things that can't be a coincidence.
He being mr. Satoshi has given Bitcoin a new dimension. But only the future can tell if he is it.
From what he said in the wired article (some secrects are best kept hidden), we should probably respect his anonimity.
Read the last two paragraphs of the following and tell me that he's Satoshi, and not a scammer just throwing around jargon to sound important: http://web.archive.org/web/20151121023834/http://cloudcroft.com.au/blog_ceoupdatenextfiveyears.phpThis right here sealed the deal for me, Craig Wright is not Satoshi. to be released and commercialised This solidified that he is not satoshi and never will be. I just don't get why he would even insinuate he was. I mean there's the theory that he wants to seem important, but anyone in the community that really wanted to verify (i.e., to hire him) would know to have him sign an original address we KNOW belongs to him. He started the network. He kept it up. He knows the security. There's no way he'd magically not have access. |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

There was an interesting case made but too many flags.
Nobody is Satoshi until those coins move.
He very well might have been involved in the early days of Bitcoin, but it most certainly was not his idea or code.

What may make it a little interesting is if we never see one while Craig is in trial for his tax issues... not really sure if that would sway my opinion, but it might. |

Satoshi did a lot of off-forum communication, some of which a lot of us still have in archive. I did contact the author of this article and gave them some clues to check for to see if it is really him. So far, no response, but no surprise after all these years, people have published many stories about finding the real Satoshi. I contact them, offer up some useful info not available on the Internet and usually the investigation falls through as the supposed Satoshi can't answer any questions from the past about interactions with other members here. The real Satoshi could contact any of us directly with a "I'm alive" message if he wanted to, that would clear up confusion quickly.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce knightmb, one of the first bitcoiners, the founder of timecoin and at one point one of the richest in Bitcoin. |

OK so whatever the fuck happened to this story? No follow-up? No repercussions? How is it everyone's been quite about it for months?

It's really strange that this "gwern" person, who I take it is fairly respected, made a big deal about this guy being Satoshi. Then once doubts started to emerge it seems as if they just acted like it never happened.  |

This theory does not stand, there are many speculations and invalid arguments there... I still didn't understand why people spend so much time in these theories. |

Is Satoshi he seems bitter enough to flush his coins to cash ...shudder...sink the works because the tax man cometh ....be like most corperations ...pay a large fine and walk 450 million in usd dumped to cash and you walk from tax prison ....that would be bad such a plea deal Beanie baby and tulip haters support group would be my future |

even if those early coins move, there is no guarantee that the wallet with the private key was not stolen from the real satoshi so at this point it's all about guessing |

Hard to decide to believe it or not,but actually i love europan people,wondering why craig use japan name for the alias. Craig can proven that he is bitcoin creator by sign message,and its good proof i think. |

I am not particularly a fan of the method of verifying his identity though. We not only need to trust Gavin's word, but also need to trust that his process was not somehow flawed or that he was not otherwise tricked. I would be more convinced if this guy were to publish a signed message to the public from the private keys of "block 1" or another block/address that is strongly connected to satoshi. Edit: change "jets" to "keys" (autocorrect) |

Simple way to tell sign one of satoshis many public addresses proving he is who he says he is, if he can't no real proof.

Wish I could change my poll answer. Back in Dec. I said "probably not". Now I'd move it to Certainly Not. I do notice the first answer (that Craig is Satoshi) has dropped from 6.8% a few hours ago to 6.4% now. So people are not buying it.

Apparently after Tominaga Nakamoto, a Japanese philosopher who questioned the authority of his time. Funnily, he now expects us to believe in authority for his verification... |

Who is Satoshi? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Gavin tell it, anybody could have worked for Satoshi. You never knew. That was his power.  |
