Craig Wright (not) answering why his Satoshi "Proof" was Fake

[f32xT]

I'm actually shocked how extremely crude this is.

Is this a new level of fraudster?

[Moneroman88]

This is ugly.

[player99]

Thats the way it is.

[2CEyes]

You can see the lies in that man's eyes and body language.

Entirely attention-addicted. This man is a shame for the Bitcoin ecosystem in general.

[MickeyT2008]

I bet one hundred dollars that he was just trying to do it in order to earn the credit of bitcoin, which is almost impossible to realize, or maybe he was just trying to hype the price in order to make people believe in that he is the real satoshi nakamoto.
All those guys are a garbage, i dont know why they really give the enough attention to this kind of guys because we all know the real intentions of this people.
I dont even know why he looks like a dumb guy, maybe it is his body language, or his words, it is really very weird.

[BFTW]

Hes such a fcking idiot...No way he is the real Satoshi.

[ZhuldyzKaladinova]

That's what a real scammer boy looks like.

[Vlad2Vlad]

Hahaha.  I love this guy.  Aussie balls of steel to get up there and be so bold. 

All you BTC guys are REKT!!!

You just don’t know it yet.

I can't see how the price can go up if people believed that Craig was satoshi , actually I find it worst if the real satoshi was discovered cause whatever happen with that person the price would be affected in a negative way
he only did that for attention IMO , media like such events

So there’s always that.

I dont know who the guy from the video is
But by the way he talks, and the way he express himself, he is below the average IQ

No way that man is satoshi, that man cant create anything, he can barely speak

More than likely he was involved or even part of the initial creation of Bitcoin and the initial private keys were shared freely as a means to test the system and not considered as valuable as they are now, because at the time Bitcoin was worthless. Think about it. If you are a company that makes locks, you need to test the locks out, so you give the number code to a bunch of people to test it, but guess what? The lock isn't protecting anything so it doesn't even matter than multiple people know the passcode. I think this is why Craig Wright could have signed using private keys from the initial address, however he wasn't able or willing to explain this to the public because they are not ready at this point in time.

And here I am begging for 5 freaking Bitcoins to buy my dream house, lol out of sadness and sorrow. Craig and his buddies killed the real Satoshi and now they are riding lambo? I hope they choke on some tits while jumping a girl.

[pooya87]

what did you expect? him coming out and say i scammed you all, haha! that would be admitting to a fraud publicly. he did what he did and laughs at those who believed him because they were gullible idiots who probably used to get in tinted window vans with promise of candy...

~ I think this is why Craig Wright could have signed using private keys from the initial address, however he wasn't able or willing to explain this to the public because they are not ready at this point in time.

that's the thing though, he never signed anything. i don't know why you think that now. he faked some signature and refused to show it publicly because he knew if he did do that, people would catch his fraud in matter of seconds. so he paid Gavin to lie for him. it is harder to prove someone lied to prove a cryptographic signature is a lie.

[Iranus]

All you BTC guys are REKT!!!

Wow!  He loudly evaded an important question of why he posted fake proof of being satoshi! I've just been REKT! /s

Ever hear Elon Musk speak?  Wright is a poet by comparison.

It's not about articulation - it's about substance.  Elon Musk at least has the ability to say something meaningful every now and then, while Craig Wright is left defending his shit past without actually addressing the problem.

what did you expect? him coming out and say i scammed you all, haha!

If he apologised, I would at least pay attention to what he has to say.

You think Gavin would take some bribe and spread a lie ,what ever Craig showed was convincing enough for him and remember he did have contact with the real Satoshi and if you did have contact with a man as long as he did with Satoshi through any medium you could identify him if you meet him in person that being said i am not convinced either who the real Satoshi is unless i see the proof myself.

[Iranus]

BTW, Satoshi owes me no proof.

Yes he does.  In fact, if he's satoshi he literally needs to spend two minutes to boot up a computer and sign a message or send a transaction.  The fact that he will not do that pretty much confirms that he's not satoshi. 

Especially when he won't provide any explanation for not doing that.  He doesn't say "I'm sorry, I lost the keys", he tries to provide a fake signature and then evades questions afterwards.

[gentlemand]

Whatever the truth is, and it's fairly obvious, it still got the job done. He is now for better or much worse a Bitcoin related 'name'. Anyone else here could've achieved the same by shouting loud enough and using some long words.

[jyakulis]

I always pictured Satoshi to be somewhat of a loose cannon in my mind but this guy is like a walking atomic bomb 

[:wq]

Not only is Craig S Wright not willing to prove in public his identity as Satoshi, but it doesn't help that nobody also wants him to be. Probably one of the most hated persons in the crypto space.

[Diced90]

Craig Wright seems emotional in this vlog after being questioned about the fake proof, I cant believe this guy

I wonder what his net worth is because those 1 million bitcoins seating around could make him a happy man if he were the real SATOSHI

You know ---> I've been thinking about this whole Andresen/Wright meeting and something crossed my mind ---> if Satoshi Nakamoto wanted curatorship over bitcoin without actually providing proof of its generation because he feared some form of liability ---> then he would have engaged in a true form of Zero Knowledge Proof (http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~mkowalcz/628.pdf) , such that ---> he would leave room for plausible denial should that be necessary.  If he could concretely prove to one, and only one, person that he knew the "secret" and then rely on that one person's expertise and credibility, then he succeeds.  <---- something to think about on a deeper level.

Can anyone prove themselves to be Satoshi any more? I'm not convinced they can.

If someone shows up and moves coins or signs from the only two blocks we know for sure he controls, all that proves is that they have control over those private keys which could've been obtained from Satoshi by varying means.

[faithupgrade]

In the first place why he claimed to be satoshi,  what are the advantages. If he is satoshi,  then make a transaction from the btc address used from the genesis block.

I'm actually shocked how extremely crude this is.

If he manages to confirm people, and then mainly this whole industry that he is Satoshi, he could pretty easily find himself be asked for plenty of positions in various influential businesses here.

If he has even more shady plans, I am sure that he could extend his position abuse even further to bank on something big. He however made a fool of himself by acting shady and not providing actual public evidence.

Gavin believing that he is actually Satoshi just shows what kind of idiot he is, and that he is a shady entity as well. It's mind boggling how a once respected high level Bitcoiner managed to sink that deep.

True. The "secret" is the possession of the keys....they only prove ownership of the asset.  However, being the owner of those assets is significant to securing a curatorship over their value which raises a variety of liability concerns.  We all know that Satoshi Nakamoto couldn't have built the network without the rest of the early adopters....thus, this elusion ---> http://www.nybooks.com/articles/1964/12/17/sartre-on-the-nobel-prize/ See where I'm going?

[teamjk]

this guy on video and his words don't quite fit whoever person(s) wrote the paper some 9 years ago
the hidden satoshi had an ideology behind all this (don't judge it good or bad).

this clown is so arrogant and being a market-corporate guy. It is all about the money and the markets.
pathetic at least

- either he is so naive that he was easily fooled into believing the proof was legit

Well, Australians are very direct people, and when you ask a question like that, then expect that kind of answer.

These days people feel they are entitled to know other peoples business. It doesn't work that way in Australia.

I dont think i want to know who Satoshi really is, it would be like finding out Willy Wonka is Darth Vader's introverted brother.

Our foundation messiah Andresen seems to give CSW the time of day and credibility, i take something positive from that.

So much hate with little facts from the detractors...dont believe everything you read...if you do, its time to stop reading.

I concede that some people dont want to acknowledge CSW examples/proof, and quick to quip he is a fraud, but the irrefutable...irrefutable fact remains is that Gavin fully accepts his proof.

In our crypto world regarding bitcoin, that word ends with him.

Given that fact, if you doubt CSW then you are also doubting Gavins word.

Now i dont know Gavin personally, but i dont know what he has to gain by acknowledging CSW proof.

I think many here would die in an Aussie pub, they dont mess round and get to the point.

I must say, CSW has some big decisions to make, hmmm, black or blue Lambo??? first world problems.

this is how you provide proof. a simple but irrefutable proof that everyone can see and everyone can verify fast and easy.

Do you not realize that Gavin has lost his credibility the minute he made his ridiculous statement?

Either there is cryptographic proof or there is fraud. It's as simple as that.

"There is proof but I can't post it", "I believe someone is Satoshi" and the likes are statements that are as worthless as "I believe your underwear are red". It's completely useless in every sense AND in the world of cryptocurrency it's a fucking provocation on every level that can not be tolerated at all.

Craig Wright is exposed. The fact that there are people who believe in the conmen is utterly sad, and actually quite pathetic. They don't care about the truth, they just see the Lambo. This is what they care about. They don't give a damn about Bitcoin, going so far as to claim a Bitcoin fork is the "real Bitcoin". All this for their own selfish profit.

As cryptocurrency believers we have the responsibility to expose and stop the criminals.

I bet one hundred dollars that he was just trying to do it in order to earn the credit of bitcoin, which is almost impossible to realize, or maybe he was just trying to hype the price in order to make people believe in that he is the real satoshi nakamoto.

I think maybe he was trying to smoke Satoshi out. By claiming he is Satoshi, he thought the real Satoshi would reveal himself and he would gain attention in the meantime and perhaps be able to avoid tax debt payments too.

I still think Mike Hearn is the best candidate to be the real Satoshi. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2146520.msg21475727#msg21475727

[DooMAD]

If he is satoshi, then make a transaction from the btc address used from the genesis block.

Of the 66.7140667 BTC at that address, only 16.7140667 can be moved, as those particular 50 block reward coins are unspendable.  No one knows for sure whether that was intended by design or an accidental bug in the code.  Even the real Satoshi can't move all of those coins without the code being altered.  Everyone says it's "21,000,000 BTC", but technically it's 20,999,950. 

But yes, Wright could settle it (but won't, because it isn't him) by moving some or all of the 16.7140667 BTC that appear to have been donated to that address over the years.  Or by signing a message legitimately this time and not faking it by copying an old signature directly from the blockchain.  And definitely not by deliberately backdating PGP keys like he did the first time he claimed to be Satoshi and got caught out.  Always remember that he has twice tried and failed to prove he is Satoshi.  I don't see why anyone should give him a third opportunity regardless of how elaborate his next hoax turns out to be.

noone really fell for this shit in the first place. why would satoshi reveal himself, and like that, after playing it cool for so long?

what i never got about this dude, is how he thought he was going to get away with this. clearly, if you cant move satoshis coins, you arent satoshi. so if he knew he couldnt access the wallets, why even open his mouth in the first place? account access wasnt going to be enough, the burden of proof would have been something the real satoshi would have provided for, knowing the nature of his creation (psuedoanonomous). satoshi has no incentive to reveal himself, practically. so we wont see him. maybe his kid might say something down the line, but im doubting every person that makes this claim. it simply doesnt make sense to do so.

i also dont get why this guy, who was respected before all that, would throw away his reputation behind this.

greed/seeking fame makes people do some silly shit.

This is interesting and has potential to explain a lot about Craig Wright claiming to be Satoshi.

SINGAPORE/SYDNEY (Reuters) - A company built around the research of Craig Wright, who has claimed to have invented the bitcoin cryptocurrency, has been sold to a private equity firm in a deal the company says is the biggest to date involving bitcoin’s underlying blockchain technology.

A person close to the deal said $300 million had been invested in nChain, but it was not clear over what period of time.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bitcoin-wright-fund-exclusive/exclusive-company-behind-bitcoin-creator-sold-to-private-investors-idUSKBN17F26V

$300 million is a lot of money for a blockchain startup.

It is possible Craig Wright was paid $300 mil to pretend to be Satoshi. The rights and patents to blockchain technology could definitely be worth much more than $300 million dollars. Its not outside the realm of possibility that someone paid Craig Wright to pretend to be Satoshi in order to secure blockchain patents at a discount price.

Interesting details!

Conmen can only go so far... he can only lie for so long... clock is ticking

Is this a new level of fraudster?

No, just regular fraudster.

[uartasic]

Given that fact, if you doubt CSW then you are also doubting Gavins word.

Do you not realize that Gavin has lost his credibility the minute he made his ridiculous statement?

Either there is cryptographic proof or there is fraud. It's as simple as that.

"There is proof but I can't post it", "I believe someone is Satoshi" and the likes are statements that are as worthless as "I believe your underwear are red". It's completely useless in every sense AND in the world of cryptocurrency it's a fucking provocation on every level that can not be tolerated at all.

Craig Wright is exposed. The fact that there are people who believe in the conmen is utterly sad, and actually quite pathetic. They don't care about the truth, they just see the Lambo. This is what they care about. They don't give a damn about Bitcoin, going so far as to claim a Bitcoin fork is the "real Bitcoin". All this for their own selfish profit.

As cryptocurrency believers we have the responsibility to expose and stop the criminals.

Unintelligible.

I do not really know who nakamoto satoshi. is he a fictional character for bitcoin ? , or indeed he is a person named nakamoto satoshi, but nakamoto satoshi has a good anounymous identity in his time.

Yes, a fictional character from a fairytale book coded bitcoin.   

And Dorothy and wizard of Oz helped out too. 

Actually, while your comment is amusing, it may be closer to truth than you suspect. I always thought that Satoshi was more like a very well organized group of people, not excluding government agencies either. Maybe even some guys nicknamed Dorothy and Wizard

This is ugly. You can see lies in his eyes and body language.

satoshi being a well organized group of people, can be true. it can be a name that a developers team chose for their communication so that none of them takes credit for creating the decentralized cryptocurrency. maybe people like Hal Finney were in that group.

but government agencies? why would they create something like bitcoin which created the decentralized currency movement and led to creation of things such as Monero and all these anonymous currencies which will cause them a lot of troubles because those are really anonymous and they can not track them. this part of your theory sounds far fetched to me.

Regardless i'm persuaded he's Satoshi notwithstanding the truly abnormal confirmation he's put in his blog entry," says Andresen. He remains by an announcement he distributed on his site early today: "I trust Craig Steven Wright is the individual who created Bitcoin.
