Just another attempt to fool the Bitcoin community. If again Wright can not prove to be Satoshi, Gavin is in serious trouble regarding his last bit of credit he is having inside the community. To safe his butt he might really say that he was hacked, although in reality he might not. That guy will continue his shady games with us to push his agenda for bigger blocks as quick as possible. I really start to hate him with a passion.

to me, it seems reasonable to pull Gavin's commit authority if there is nonsense corroboration coming from his account that potentially undermines the stability and even potential feasibility of bitcoin (if bitcoin were to be taken over by easy changes in governance that were represented in XT and Classic, for example). Nonetheless, removing Gavin's commit access seems as if it could cause some controversy from some of the big blocker folks who tend to proclaim that XT and Classic were benign in their coupe attempts.... Gotta see how this plays out, no? Hopefully, we are going to be able to return to regular programing - which seems to had been that we were within an imminent and pending bull run.

Craig Wright is a fcking scammer, his signature is just a signature from a tx back in 2009, there is NO new signed signature. It isn't hard to check it out...

We were doing really good the last 6 weeks and it seemed 450 is a range from where we could continue climbing the next weeks/months. But then again comes CW around the corner together with Gavin "supporting" him. In my opinion this is no coincedence. I don't know what is going on behind the curtain of some people, but something is going on.

Sometimes it takes pushing the price so far off of the rails that nobody knows what the price should be. That's when it skyrockets.

Gavin has not posted anything to reddit in the past 10 days. Are there any recent posts by him anywhere else? Any OTHER posts where he confirms Craig's claim? Maybe he is away and his ninja account has been hacked. (To me, that post reads more like Craig's style than Gavin's style.) Or maybe this is Gavin's way to kick the bucket and give the finger to the community... "Jon Matonis" also claims to have seen proof firsthand. But I do not trust Jon's expertise or anything else...

Guys, to be ultra sure that we in the right track and what happened today is most likely an epic scam, check the amount of the new threads created by a throwaway accounts (NLC accounts) stating that it's game over and such BS.

was not the same basic story run about a year ago ie wright claimed or denied or whatever he was satoshi after someone tracked him down? and that his main concern was that he had tax problems. I recall his "proof" of whatever he claimed being questioned at the time as well. it was i think even covered by this forum topic? anyhow in the end it all fell away to nothing and bitcoin got on with being bitcoin

Gavin posted this tweet right before his blogpost as an attempt to ward off critical scrutiny.... Or both accounts were hacked. Either way , it is a good idea to at least temporarily remove commit access- https://twitter.com/gavinandresen/status/727053314848886784

why whould satoshi do all this shit over the media and dont just sign the blocks and post it?
i think this is just a bad attack on bitcoin.
markets reacting accordingly, first they panic becaues nobody is sure and now they buy again when they understand that there is no real proof from wright.

Because spending 4-5 pennies(Someone with half a Billion doesn't like to waste money you know!) and taking 1 minute of time is jumping through too many hoops for Craig Wright. Also he doesn't want attention or the spotlight but has tacky model shots and a new forum going up were he can bestow all of his new wisdom for thirsty investors. Not that this even mattered at all , because if he could sign the first block I would simultaneously acknowledge a strong likelihood he was Satoshi and simultaneously not care what he has to say judging from his recent comments.

I posted this detailed analysis describing a likely motivation for Craig needing to "prove" he is Satoshi. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3w9xec/just_think_we_deserve_an_explanation_of_how_craig/cxuo6acThe short version is that he made fictional investments in a company by claiming to have transferred his personal "interest" in $29m of bitcoin to the target company. (I.e. no blockchain transfer, just a legal document claiming to transfer that amount of bitcoin.) He then claimed substantial cash R&D credits from those transactions. Australian taxation office (ATO) began investigating. He has paperwork showing the transactions, but knows that ATO might dig around and want to see verification that he truly owned $32m of bitcoin. To cover that, he claims he put all his bitcoin in a trust, where the trustee was another early bitcoiner. Unfortunately, that friend has now passed away, and the private keys are lost. In order for the BS to be even vaguely plausible, he needs to show that he originally had access to $32m of bitcoin. This is why he pretends to be Satoshi.
