Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Something to think about though.

The last time Satoshi was wrongly revealed, Satoshi posted "I am not Dorian Satoshi".

No such post here.

His email was hacked thereafter though.

I like the idea of the clapped out dead cripple being Satoshi.

AFAIK, that Kleinman guy was originally a policeman in Florida who had to leave the job on disability, and then tried to make a living as a computer security consultant.  For all I know, his knowledge of computing was nowhere near what would be needed to invent and implement bitcoin.

He seems to be a convenient excuse that Craig found for obvious questions, such as: why doesn't Craig move Satoshi's coins.

Or even before.  How do we know that the "I am not" message came from the real Satoshi?

Wow, I was so sure that Dr. Wright was lying about being Satoshi, and he goes and proves it to BBC.
How will this affect the the price, do you think? Is now a good time to go all in?

[gentlemand]

There's nothing ireffutable yet. And who in the BBC is going to have much of a clue as to what it takes to prove it?

Didn't Dr. Gavin Andresen, Chief Scientist at the Bitcoin Foundation, also publish a blog backing his claim?
I'm no doctor of science myself, but I figure if anyone could spot a fake, Chief Scientist would?

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?

Gavin has now posted a bit more information on reddit

Apparently he verified the signature on a laptop provided by Craig, using software downloaded by Craig.  And was not allowed to keep the laptop or the signed message.

Who can see what is wrong with that?

Also from gavin:

I don't have an explanation for the funky OpenSSL procedure in his blog post.

They don't make Chief Scientists like they used to?

I love how Gavin just proved he's a double agent. Now the block size increase will be off as everyone can surely now see Gavin represents the enemies of Bitcoin trying to break it by increasing the block chain.

Nice work Gavin. No-one expect retarded journalists and the fucking plebs will believe you. Do we need to show you the door or can you let yourself out?

At minimum too incompetent to have commit access in the future with that explanation.

It's old, maybe he changed his mind.

That's right...forgot about that one.

Probably.

In other news, Russia will make Bitcoin illegal (again) and Japan declared Bitcoin a payment medium.

I still think that he is the most competent of the bitcoin Core developers.

Legit LOL!

Whoa. Seven years in the gulags for using bitcoins in Russia?  And all Bitcoin companies in Japan will now have to comply with AML/KYC?!
Can this day get any worse?

hodl the phone!
if he was able to sign a new msg with known satoshi keys dating from block 1 ... i think thats irrefutable proof
but maybe the laptop used to verify was compromised.
if he would make that sig public tho there would be no doubt

NLC do you even trade  

Breaking 430 is key to triggering stop losses/longs bailing out causing a heavy drop to test 400-405.

[TooDumbForBitcoin]

Why has no one come forward claiming to be the real Jorge Stolfi?
