As it turns out, Craig Wright actually is Satoshi!

[20kevin20]

I heard about Craig Wright before but I doubt he is the real creator of Bitcoin. If he really was the one, he should come with real, actual proofs that he owns it, or that he created it. We also have to remember that we are living pretty tough times to make this claim and really be the creator of such an idea that "is used by criminals".

Rumor has it that President Trump is Satoshi Nakamoto, hence hanging a painting of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. In the next couple days he's gonna announce that his bitcoin hoard will finance the building of The Wall.

In any case, we can't know if satoshi was a single entity of a team of people. He used Tor, so it could have been 1 person or a couple. Any intelligent group of people wanting to pose as 1 person could have had the same person to talk in forums so there are no big differences in writing style to start the team rumors, so we can't know.

so i emboldened the part where even you say one person used the satoshi pseudonym.
what is known.. only one person used the satoshi username
what is known.. other people did help satoshi.. eg hal finney, plus others.
but again for emphasis
what is known.. only one person used the satoshi username

oh and call me a troll all you like. simply because i am not hailing PEOPLE and BUSINESSES up as kings..
i think your missing the point of this topic.

no one should care about the people or businesses, and only care about the code.
if you would rather protect people and not care/protect the code and bitcoins ethos.. then this whole topic is lost on you

 stupidity of BU and Roger Ver's puppets is incredible, their dullness is really unlimited. What do you hope to obtain from these filthy insinuations?

see how simple this drama can escalate to meander with simple name calling..

funny part is when someone pokes the bear by making an insinuation. the other side reacts. then the bear poker can play the victim card.
endless kardashian drama.

in short no one should care about the name drama. and instead be looking at what CODE decisions were made at the roundtable.
if you cant see that coindesk is causing fake social drama to distract sheep from asking about the code.. with distractions about 'who is satoshi'..
then you wont see what changes to the CODE will be until its too late

[eXpl0sive]

WTF?  This is turning out to be pretty weird.  Why is the world starting to accept this as fact all of the sudden? 
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-new-satoshi-nakamoto-rumors/

From that article:

Major news outlets are once again said to be conducting an investigation into the story, with releases coming out as early as next month.

So....   we just wait for the next month then?

I don't see any CREDIBLE statement in the article. Just a click-bait headline.

[jrlichtman]

I wouldn't be surprised if Dave Kleiman's name comes up again. He's the (dead) guy in Florida who was (supposedly) friendly with Craig Wright.

I was involved in the Bitcoin community from late 2010, and I remember interacting with Kleiman; he definitely had the right sort of skill set and personality.

I don't recall Wright, but it's possible he used a different handle.

[nelson4lov]

Coindesk strikes again with article without sources. Haven't heard anything about Wright lately.

It's still rumors and I give no ears to to rumors. Coindesk is trying to continue the Bitcoin/Satoshi Controversy. For me, There's no need finding out who Satoshi actually is. If Satoshi wanted recognition, He would have done that a long time again. 

[RodeoX]

If he is Satoshi then why can he not sign a Tx? It would take 1 minute and prove his claim with mathematics.    I mean really, I'm supposed to believe that the guy who gave us trust-less cash wants us to just trust his word without proof? 

[Bibite]

Here we go again with this guy

[Vlad2Vlad]

Ironic:  Your signature line says:  "the gospel according to Satoshi," but then you show your faithlessness by demanding extraordinary proof.  I think you guys are gonna get more proof than you can bear soon.  Don't forget how badly you begged for it.  

[BTCLovingDude]

But that doesn't explain how he fooled Matonis and Gavin. 

you may have forgotten about this or selectively not mentioning it. I don't know about Motonix! but about Gavin i have to say but Craig Wright offered many others to come forth and confirm his identity lie and they all refused. Gavin was like his last choice! possibly paid.

anyways, there is a very simple solution to all this and all arguments about it until then is pointless:

Sign a message

You are correct that I have no faith in what some random guy says. Cryptographic proof is not extraordinary. It is proof period. Satoshi would know that.

[loserkids]

But cryptographic proof itself only proves that someone has keys from Satoshi's outputs. Not that Satoshi has them or that he is alive.

You may wanna change your avatar to:  The revolution will be patentized.  

Good luck!

If he dumps a million Bitcoins on your heads will that FINALLY be enough proof? 

I'll give Satoshi a call, we're tight. 

[franky1]

more trolls trying to keep this 'event' active for a month or two. to distract us from talking about the code changes.
so that we dont ask what esle was talked about at the round table.

so lets just divert this topic.

what else was talked about at the roundtable. what have the devs proposed to do for the corporations that turned up at the all-inclusive weekend.

let the social drama sit to the side and ask the real questions about the roundtable

[Digitalbitcoin]

Well guys its now become general news as Craig Wright names is comes out one more time.

Anyway what these guys want to prove it that they are satoshi or developer of bitcoin or invented awesome technology. Its now become public some none can claim bitcoin as a owner or anythings else as many organization have already participated to make bitcoin more and more valuable. We must have to consider about them also.

[DooMAD]

anyways, there is a very simple solution to all this and all arguments about it until then is pointless:

Sign a message

Concurred.  No signed message = no Satoshi. 

From what I understood from previous dramas, Wright tried to fake a signed message and the community caught him out.  He simply copied a signature from an old 2009 transaction belonging to Satoshi.  The only thing Wright's message proved is that he's a scammer and shouldn't be trusted.  Consign him to the history books as a charlatan and then allow him to fade into obscurity where he belongs.

[sportis]

Apparently this man if he is not a con man he has some persistence with the personality of Satoshi Nakamoto. Not knowing whether a medical opinion from a psychiatrist is required but is really sad the crypto currencies news sites and also some journalists who are trying to gain a few minutes of publicity to replay the claims of a rather sick man writing about gossips, because they have not any evidence but only rumors. If people believe that Craig Wright is Satoshi why not ask him to spend his bitcoins;
