I just posted a link to a BBC article in the Press subforum. I don't think it's that nobody cares, it's just you and me are firsties. Seriously the beeb article is, like, 5 minutes old.

[LiteCoinGuy]

until we see some proofs.

[sellcollateral]

I'm curious: will he be able to sign a message with one of satoshi's keys in order to prove his claims? The article didn't say this

[LiteCoinGuy]

where are the proofs? 

[Cyaren]

Well I do care.

In the BBC video it seems like he has actually signed a message? If that is true then it will maximize the chances of it being legit.

Well I do care.

It would have been even better if the bbc decided to publish the signed message, so everybody could verify it for themselfs...

Holly ....
Now this is some interesting shit there , He said on the BBC video : "I'm the one behind it and other people helped me" . I suppose this means they was a group after all

[Gleb Gamow]

I'm only 14 minutes late to posting on this soon-to-be iconic thread. Praise Satoshi! Now off to read the article that I'm sure'll make my dick hard.

I don't see the signed message in the video, I think this is just another bullshitty story.
Why would he come out now and not earlier? I don't get it why now?

[Quartx]

I really want to see the signed message

EDIT : In addition if i remember correctly, his earlier proofs were full of loopholes. Like his education credentials which were found to not exist at all

[Nancarrow]

Another reputable source here.

http://www.economist.com/news/business-and-finance/21698060-craig-wright-reveals-himself-as-satoshi-nakamoto

It says he published proof in a blog post. Doesn't seem to have a link.

Well, I know what *I'm* doing on the internet for the next hour!

(Or rather, until someone savvier beats me to it)

ETA apparently the above is a 'taster', the meatier article is:

http://www.economist.com/news/briefings/21698061-craig-steven-wright-claims-be-satoshi-nakamoto-bitcoin

Off to find that blog...

[mindrust]

Why would anyone care?

And how do you know if they are telling the truth anyway?

Even if they were, hiding out satoshi's identity was planned anyway. It was adding some mystery to the bitcoin world.

People would give half of the shit they did, if they knew it was a project of a some big company.

[Nthused]

Waiting to see all the documents instead of hearing it from verified sources, I want to see Official Public Documents & Proof so anyone can view it.

I wonder if he will come back to Bitcointalk, that would also be an indication he truly is Satoshi Nakamoto or part of the team representing the name.

[Gleb Gamow]

I have first dibs on calling this bullshit.

[Nancarrow]

Why would anyone care?

Humans are curious.

And how do you know if they are telling the truth anyway?

If they send messages that have been signed using private keys associated with the early blocks. This is what is claimed to have happened.

"Our conclusion is that Mr Wright could well be Mr Nakamoto, but that important questions remain. Indeed, it may never be possible to establish beyond reasonable doubt who really created bitcoin."

now we are getting closer...  

----------

"He doesn’t want to cash in on his bitcoin fortune, but plans to spend the money on research (and only slowly, as not to push down the bitcoin price), he says."

Just spent 1 Dollar and you made the best proof. DO IT!

-----------

"In his blog post Mr Wright says that he does indeed control the key for block 9"

Block 9 great. Now do it on Block 1 please.  

-----------

"He also says he can’t send any bitcoin because they are now owned by a trust. And he rejected the idea of having The Economist send him another text to sign as proof that he actually possesses these private keys, rather than simply being the first to publish a proof which was generated at some point in the past by somebody else."

-----------

All this computing power, says Mr Wright, is used to test his ideas about how to improve bitcoin.

Something good at least  

-----------

In response Mr Wright says that, although he was the principal author of the white paper, he had extensive help from his friend Dave Kleiman, an American computer-forensics expert who died in 2013.

extensive help = 98% of the work i guess  

And then, as mentioned before, there is always the possibility that he could have obtained the keys from someone else, perhaps Hal Finney or Dave Kleiman. Since both are dead, they cannot be asked.

Yeah, that would be excellent. But in the description Mr. Wright said that he was going to publish more proof later on?

Also in the description it pretty much said that some of the most influential bitcoiners have confirmed this. Maybe it's true???

He will not spend any money since he said that he will never ever ever take a donation or a prize from anyone, so he needs to save the money

If you decide to release such a video come with proof, everyone can say he/she is satoshi.
