Is that even him? Domain creation date for http://drcraigwright.net/  is 02/15/2016 .
That was my first thought as well. This looks like B.S. And i don't think it's the same domain as his real website.

it is indeed. I checked today wikipedia and it was the same domain before and after the update.

I read that Gavin met with Craig, shake his hand and recognized him as real Satoshi somewhere. And now Gavin is backing out saying that he had no idea about it?
To recognize someone as Satoshi you have to be more than sure and I thought Craig showed him some irrefutable proof and that is the reason Gavin supports him.

No I think that was creative writing in the article you're recalling, Gavin had never claimed to know what Satoshi looked like as he never met 'him'.

Wright is accused of some shady shenanigans by the Australian Tax authorities which might explain his desire to make a big noise now about being Satoshi. Perhaps he figured he could pull it off convincingly enough that he'd be able to plead persecution and claim the charges are all part of bankster ploy to crush Satoshi, when the truth is more likely that he's just a smarter-than-average conman.

you don't need to type "airquotes". you can use real quotes when actually typing.

crazy. Gavin has to now provide full details of their meeting so we can figure out what happened and how he was convinced - it will make understanding this more digestible.

Would be interested to know that as well.
My theory is that someone wants to manipulate the price to go down and his participation is needed. Not sure what Gavin has to do with it. It would be good to see how Craig convinced him.

I expect him to change his mind and sign a block next week Cheesy

possibly, he didn't say "goodbye forever!"  Grin

Think about it - if you were purchasing a domain with your name in the title, why would you register it using an anonymous registrant to hide your name?

Forgot to tick-off default option "Protect my privacy for 5.99$ per year" maybe?

That's one perfectly plausible explanation Smiley
It couldn't possibly be anything like

My guess is wishful thinking. Never change, bitcointalk, never change...



not really sure where you're going with this. so you're saying that craig can deny his ties to the domain? what would that do? his claims on satoshi's identity were recorded in a video.

Kind of disappointing.
Expected a more spectacular finish.
This one is lousy. No thumbs up for the author.

No, no really. I expected nothing more.
The whole case and Craig's strange approach, beating around the bush, not confirming anything, not revealing EASY and the most believable evidence -
such as simple signed message of Satoshi's early address was enough of confirmation of a hoax.

And so what is his motivation  Huh

To destroy Matonis and Andresen?

Not suggesting that he did not claim to be Satoshi. Merely that not everything posted on the internet can be taken at face value. If he needed to claim that he is not the author of that apology, he easily could.
And, of course,
Quote
< >The BBC understands that this tweet signifies that Mr Matonis still believes Dr Wright is indeed Satoshi.

"A lot more people in the Bitcoin community are going to be unconvinced of Dr Wright's claims than will believe he is Satoshi, based upon what's happened to date," commented Dr Garrick Hileman, an economic historian at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance.

"But many of the doubters don't want to be convinced. Satoshi has been mythologised and if you pull back the curtain, you shatter a lot of people's fantasies.

While I'm tired of CW threads, this one seems okay as it is good to hear that this annoyance is (hopefully) going away from the Bitcoin ecosystem. People that have responded to this have obviously gotten this "apology" all wrong. This is the classic sociopath play. He is unable to provide the adequate proof (after being exposed) and now he tries to play the victim. Stop falling for his bullshit already.


Additionally, we must never forget what Matonis and Andersen have done. To the real Satoshi, whoever (&& wherever) you are, we do not need to know.

Oh yeah, you are right. It is apparently him. Well this ends it for me. This dude is not Satoshi. So far the only thing I have seen that supports his claim is his claim.

Dr. Wright tries to come out as Satoshi, but can not bear the toxicity of this community. Unlike mankind's second greatest prophet, he is not willing to suffer on the cross.

But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
