Not Craig Wright? Who did you expect?

[target]

I expect Satoshi to be a nerd though not because he really is a nerd but maybe he just smoke 25 sticks of marijuana everyday while his hobby is reading penthouse.
There has been no proof given by wright so I guess the search for Satoshi still continues, how much is the bounty for finding him by the way?

The prize for finding Satoshi is him kicking your balls through the top of your mouth for screwing his life up.

thats the problem, who the hell care about who is satoshi? why people can just enjoy what he give to us, intead iof trying to "find" something that could not change nothing?

craig is not satoshi? even if craig was him, everything should be fine...

It's human nature to be curious, even more so when someone drops a bomb on the world and goes all out not to let anyone know who they are. This'll never end.

[AlexGR]

What I want to discuss here is that among all the naysayers, there are folks who seem to just look down on Wright, thinking that he cannot be Satoshi, because he's a middle-aged clean-shaven normal looking white guy (yes, that description also fits me), and that they expected Satoshi to be some kind of a long-haired pot-smoking pale-faced anarcho-punk with tattoos all over.

Every type of demographic has a type of look. This is well known and can be "reversed" - in other words telling what one is, by just looking at them. It's a subtype of mentalism (cold reading). You can tell things about people by how they look, how they express themselves, how they move, how they act, etc etc. You can classify people, even find out intimate details about their lives.

When people say "oh who gives a fuck how he looks", or "looks don't matter", what they are really saying is "I have no clue how to correlate what I'm seeing so I need other type of data".

The obsession about "more data" is very eloquently described in "Psychology of Intelligence Analysis" by the CIA. To make a long book => short, it says that the obsession of data analysts with more data is ridiculous because the truth is in plain sight most of the time, so they only need to process the data they have in a better manner. Mentalists and others trained in cold-reading would agree and laugh about such an obvious (to them) conclusion.

IT nerds don't look like Wright. People who are involved in computer science complex theoretics like how to solve the Byzantine General problem, don't look like Wright. Heck, even an average class of C programmers don't look like Wright.

Why they don't look like Wright? Because geekiness is a function of time-sacrifice. Time is finite. With 24hrs/day and only so much to focus on within a given day, before taking time to sleep, eat, and do other stuff, you don't have time to develop your extremely complex skills and do all the other things that ordinary humans do. Thus something has to give. Typically, what is viewed as less important, like what other people wear, social relations, etc etc, go out the window first. You don't care about things like "fashion" thus you dress, let's say, in a more ackward way that makes you stand out. You might also develop high degree of introversion which in turn will lead to myopia which will mean that you'll need glasses. Myopia / short-sightedness, is not a function of biology, but rather a function of the mind. Most geeks/nerds are short-sighted and highly introverted. Geniuses will typically exhibit some anomalous characteristics which is a result of the time-scarcity equation. You can't do everything within finite time constraints and it will *show*.

In this regard (I'm not mentioning other things like forging "proofs"), Wright is a highly anomalous Satoshi candidate. He is also highly anomalous for one other reason. He seems to be trained in controlling his facial expressions and posture. This is intelligence level stuff that is used on political leaders (and most typically fail at their "lessons" - leaking all sort of information through their body language - again a consequence of finite time / you can't teach a politician right away what it takes intelligence operatives years of training).

..the block chain ...can prove that he holds the private keys he is claiming to possess, in the many ways he has publicly tried to convince us he actually possessed.  He is the one claiming to hold those keys, so he is the one the burden of proof falls upon.  And, he can prove those claims very easily by submitting an entry on the ledger....asking a third party to validate and transmit his claims is sidestepping the protocol.  

Yes - why would he do that ?

 

I do what I do and the appendages attached to my name are irrelevant.

Careful - now you are starting to sound like him

Actually, I think he is saying the exact opposite.

I very much doubt he is a stoner. From his posts on Bitcointalk alone, it is clear that he is a no-nonsense, very disciplined and meticulous kind of guy. His posts are to-the-point, purposeful and always on topic. I had plenty of stoner friends at uni and I myself used to smoke weed all day, I guess I could be wrong but from his writings he really doesn't fit the stoner profile.

Unfortunately that knowledge, if it were to be made public would carry a LOT of weight and power. If Satoshi's country of origin was known, politicians would no doubt seek to use it to gain influence over the Bitcoin world.

I don't know who is Satoshi Nakamoto and I do not expect him to be anyone.

I actually wished Satoshi Nakamoto to be a fit and good looking person like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Just my hope. .

[Herbert2020]

So Craig Wright may or may not be Satoshi Nakamoto, and that won't be the subject of this topic.

So he may or may not be, but we should all agree that he has the correct look, age and background to be. Some posts I've read about him are really offensive, and there's no need for that. I'd be happy if Satoshi is a man like M.Wright.

haha, that is a funny image you are painting. but i have been following the news from the beginning and people are not looking down on Craig Wright because of his looks, maybe somebody made a joke here and there but they are angry because he refused to sign a message like a normal human being and he looked shady from the beginning .

[avatar_kiyoshi]

Satoshi nakamoto is group I think, but the leader hiding forever, my assume if Nick szabo is the one of the team.

Well just let satoshi nakamoto alone.

[sockpuppet1]

Personally, I don't think Craig is Satoshi, and not because of his looks. I don't care what he looks like. the thing is he isn't providing enough information to give enough proof that he is actually Satoshi.

The lack of a signed message, saying he'll publish documents and not have them available immediately, it all seems just a bit too sloppy and drawn out for him to really be Satoshi.

What is so ironic from my perspective (and I suspect the elites are also having a good chuckle about the blindness of you "useless eaters/cattle") is that once you review all the facts (<--- click to know what Satoshi Nakamoto really is), the fools are those who even entertain any thought that Satoshi could be a person.

The elites are playing us like a fiddle with BitCON. Seriously. I didn't reach this conclusion without extensive thought and rationality.

my assume if Nick szabo is the one of the team

Zero chance. Nick is both not smart enough and doesn't code prolifically enough.

I don't think that Craig Wright is Satoshi. But that assumption is not based on his looks. No idea why Satoshi couldn't be clean shaved nor be an Aussie for that matter. But that C. W. has currently some tax issues and pretending to be Satoshi might help to get either new creditors or the tax issues postponed looks just a bit odd. It also doesn't help that he seems to have no access to the PK of Satoshi.

Yes this is probably answer and this should be best to stay secret forever. Or at least those coins must stay cold forever. We all know how this can be disastrous for the price. Maybe if they show up and publicly destroy coins or they give them to charity this coud be maybe even better for promotion.

[Cyaren]

Satoshi is best to be left alone. I agree with you, avatar_kiyoshi.

I don't think Craig Wright is Satoshi. They just seem so different. Wright seems too old to be the founder of such a inventive project. But still, experience he had might be the key to bitcoin. There might still be a chance.

Maybe theymos is satoshi? I'm not sure. But who cares who satoshi really is? As long as the bitcoin protocol is good, all is good.

In general, young guys won't write with double space after a sentence. This is a relic from the typewriter era.

[katrimans]

i suspect it to be satoshi

[DimensionZ]

Satoshi Nakamoto is 100% the pseudonym of a group. Craig Wright tried to take all the credit to himself which was despicable but at least he admitted that there was a group of coders who had helped create Bitcoin. Personally I don't have any expectations as to who the real people behind Bitcoin may be. I strongly believe Satoshi is not a single individual now that there is evidence multiple people were involved. I can live without knowing their identities and they have the right to remain anonymous

[bcmine]

I dont care if Craig is cheating with his degrees or with his companies. If he is Satoshi the he should prove it or leave it. Until now, he didnt prove it correctly and sufficient, so I guess he is not Satoshi.

Two dudes who could be Satoshi already died. I guess one of them having the private key for the genesis block or someone else, who did not went to the public until now. I guess it was a colaboration between 4 or 5 guys in the start of. 2 are dead, Craig and Szabo or the fifth dude could be the gang behind Satoshi Nakamoto

[Pursuer]

I don't think about who satoshi is that much, because frankly I don't care about it as much as many others. in fact I like how it is right now. I mean the anonymity of satoshi nakamoto is a good thing to start with, it shows that the creator of bitcoin can be anonymous and that proves the (possible) anonymity of bitcoin users.

but I am certain of one thing, Craig Wright is not satoshi because of how he acted, so shady and suspicious and more importantly no proof!

[Adrorecia]

Is it or is Satoshi not Craig Wright, I am done with this. It does not even matter to me any more who is the real Satoshi if someone can prove that he or maybe even she is the real Satoshi I am glad to hear the story.
