The Craig White Appreciation thread

[adamstgBit]

Craig White has been part of bitcoin since the very beginning, was he the first miner? does he have keys to the very first block? did he have the POW idea? did he take part its first Impl. does it matter?

Craig White may or maynot have lied to us, tried to pull a prank, but who cares!? it was a silly thing to try and "prove" he was satoshi such a thing CANNOT be proven, simply having access to early blocks keys isn't enough, we'll never know who had the original POW idea.

Craig White is very smart and talented, maybe he's an asshole, maybe his ego is too big for his own good, but this doesn't really matter... what matters is he has a strong skill set that bitcoin can benefit from.

Craig White, I Appreciate everything you did in bitcoinland, and would hope you continue to work toward our common goal.

We are all satoshi.

Wrong.  You can't trust people who act this way, no matter how smart they are.  The only 'benefit' Wright has provided is in vetting the security of the Bitcoin ecosystem and once again, proving that Bitcoin prevails.

Hard to know what is real and what is FUD, doubtlessly he is a clever guy capable of doing it.

I counted 5x Craig White including the title.

If the mispelled name is intentional then I dont get it, and if not, then I dont get it as well (maybe you should list all Craig Wright contributions to Bitcoin then as I know of none)

Craig also introduced a new generation to Jean-Paul Sartre. That's something!

What do you make of Joseph VaughnPerling then who claims to have met Wright in 2005 and discussed the then not yet named Bitcoin tech with him?

I've been looking at some old videos on YouTube and there is one where Wright introduces himself in front of an audience and I don't know what you guys will think of it but to me it seemed like he was either repressing the urge to tell everyone he is Satoshi (as in him being truly Satoshi) OR he had already set an elaborate scam in motion that would allow him to claim to be Satoshi.

Seriously guys have a look at his introduction at the beginning, it's kind of...interesting.

I mention the 'scam' scenario above because of what he says at around 1:42 mins into the video: "I haven't been for a while (publishing papers)... but I'll be going back to that next year"
It's almost as if he had this reveal planned from back then. In his recent interview with the BBC, he says that he didn't want to come out and that he was forced to because of the pressure his loved ones faced.

I would say he is Satoshi but the fact that he seemed to hint at this reveal is kinda weird. Maybe it's just me though, maybe he wasn't hinting at anything. What do you guys think about this?

Wow, very coincidental ... did you not refer to Craig White the England Cricketer.   ... Spelling does matter..   The only thing where I agree with you, is yes... We should not be this aggressive

towards someone that may or may not turn out to be Satoshi. Give the guy a chance to prove himself and then pick up the rocks, if it turns out that he is a fraudster. The premature hostility might

just push the real Satoshi further back into hiding.
