Whats up with Craig Wright?

[Wind_FURY]

Like some other people that dupe people around this space (... say someone who posted earlier in this thread...) Wright compensates for cluelessness by applying an abusive attitude, technobabble, and choir preaching insults at respected authorities

bitcoin has authorities...
Gmax claiming to be an authority... is the exact problem that proves bitcoin centralisation.. while then saying that if people dont respect him, the disrespectful should be treated as clueless abusive choir preachers...

dang gmax, high ego. and admitting bitcoin is centralised in one sentance.
kinda the whole reason to actually lose respect for you

The competent will always be the authority figures in any development of a software project. Or else there will only be chaos.

Aren't there authority figures in Bitcoin Cash ABC too?

anyway craig wright is just a scammer playing with an altcoin that he didnt even write himself. he deserves no fame and should just fizzle out into obscurity. cw has nothing to do with bitcoin.
 im surprised how such an 'authority' deems cw such a threat to even get emotional about cw drama.

What's your theory on Gavin Andresen's support for "Craig Wright = Satoshi"? Why would he discrediting himself?

Here's my idea.

Start a petition to boycott any and all crypto conferences where Craig Wright is schedule to speak, albeit allowing him to attend for possible shit slinging by attendees ...

To be clear about the proposed boycott, it'd include boycotting ALL sponsors of such events.

This fucker should not be allowed to speak at any crypto event.

What's up with Calvin Ayre?

Indeed. These paradox's of course apply to BSV and to the other Bitcoin chain forks ...

Now proponents of BSV are claiming that BSV was created in 2009 ...

- https://twitter.com/CalvinAyre/status/1094190857035620352
"more history of Craig and his creation of real #Bitcoin BSV in 2009. He has told me all of these stories years ago and they have been proven accurate:"   

- https://twitter.com/CalvinAyre/status/1094198473484877825
"everyone smart in the industry already knows Craig was the primary member of the Satoshi team.Everyone saying this is not true is stupid or lying or both. I know people who knew Craig when he invented Bitcoin BSV in 2009:"   

- https://twitter.com/CalvinAyre/status/1094198804298059776
"And its nice to see Craig admit that #Bitcoin BSV was invented from the gambling industry not as as a reaction to the financial collapse of 2009. Go Gambling! :-)"   

Erm ... What about the Genesis Block Message ...
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

"... On 3 January 2009, the bitcoin network was created when Nakamoto mined the first block of the chain, known as the genesis block. Embedded in the coinbase of this block was the following text: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." This note has been interpreted as both a timestamp and a comment on the instability caused by fractional-reserve banking ..."

...

"Also love the way Craig explains that #Bitcoin #BSV was what he invented and released in 2009. Segwit BTC and Alphabet soup ABC/BAB/BCH are not bitcoin as they changed the economic model. Exchanges are defrauding consumers."   

- https://twitter.com/CalvinAyre/status/1094204237616201729
"yup real #Bitcoin #BSV is for Enterprises and Governments not criminals:"

BSV - Only for Enterprises and Governments ? 

No Bitcoin (BTC) is for everyone, including Enterprise, Governments and yes (unfortunately) criminals, you know, in exactly the same way that said criminals might use FIAT currencies (i.e. paper money etc.,).

Bitcoin (BTC) users are not disimilar to Tor Network users and the use cases are wide and varied, just look at the people that use Tor and the reasons they need it ... for some this is literally a 'life saving' and essential technology ...

- https://www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en

"... Today, it is used every day for a wide variety of purposes by the military, journalists, law enforcement officers, activists, and many others ..."

...

Herewith, 'original' cypherpunk's thoughts on this matter ...
- https://moxie.org/blog/we-should-all-have-something-to-hide/

This demonstrates that 'Rule Breaking' is an essential and necessary part of social change (for good!). In fact, innovation and progress becomes more difficult (perhaps impossible) without it.

For example, why does CSW show in (backdated / forged?) emails to Dave K that he needed to use Tor to release Bitcoin (supposedly) ...

Perhaps in fear of something? ... like a whistle blower or a repressed dissident.

To return to the paradox theme, and in relation to this, perhaps Bitcoin itself would still be illegal, if it had not yet been invented!

Well aware of that franky1 - Somewhat of a rhetorical question! 

[stortz]

to anyone that might be wondering what is up with the recent "Craig e-drama" recently, I have a very simple theory:
Shilling, can be done in multiple ways, by raising awareness of a topic, regardless of the comment over it. So any thread, blogpost or twitter topic, be either bash or praise, can be used to raise awareness. In other words a good press/ bad press, with the philosophy of "there is no such thing as bad press".
But why now?

BSV is in a downwards spiral of volume, and in consequence, price. The fork out of BCH was a clear last resort for Craig, who is facing the legal consequences of his fraud attempts and general bad actor behavior (hash war, hard fork, slander regarding BTC, LN and other projects).
As volume drops, desperation sets in, and even bad publicity would at least make people open up shorts for BSV.

This is my theory, they are trying to accumulate friends and enemies at the same time, in hopes that their fork see action in any form.
Monero has just surpassed them in daily volume averages.

What's up with Calvin Ayre?

It looks like he's going even further off the deep end. I guess he's made his bed with Craig Wright and now he's got to sleep in it. The pair of them are looking more delusional by the day.

- https://twitter.com/CalvinAyre/status/1094204237616201729
"yup real #Bitcoin #BSV is for Enterprises and Governments not criminals:"
“The Bitcoin SV ecosystem does not tolerate illegal activity. Unlike the anti-government culture of many other cryptocurrency communities, Bitcoin SV is the most business friendly, government friendly, and law enforcement friendly.”

This is just fascinating and hilarious and sickening all at once.

technically there is a tulip trust(legal paper, but no financial value)
for a few years now the aussie government and a few private firm now know its as empty of value as a notepad file of public keys. hense why CW fled australia.

what truly makes many peoples blood boil is how CW, knowing how sick and near end of life the notary was and knew the notary would not be around by 2020 to have to explain reasons for formalising a empty of value trust.. CW proceeded in using him to formalise the empty trust.

which just shows the depths CW would go to to scam being rich and con not just private firms but the aussie government.
but anyways no point waiting to 2020. CW has no more cards up his sleave. so the only magic he can now do is fizzle out into obscurity and we just stop trying to reference him in regards to anything bitcoin related, because the truth is he aint relevant

best let the FIAT industry handle his scammy shinanigans and let it become news about him scamming FIAT. rather than bing bitcoin negative issue

He was (or still is) probably trying to get his own pump and dump going with the BSV fork in order to cover the up and coming clusterfuck with the tax authorities that he will eventually have to face.

Btw the former pic I posted got deleted by the dreaded bitcointalk proxy thing so here is the link for these still didn't see this:

https://blog.wizsec.jp/2018/02/kleiman-v-craig-wright-bitcoins.html

And as far as your previous posts on blocksize, if satoshi smart, he would have predicted that after the initial stage passed, attempts to hardfork (in order to raise the blocksize) would just end up in clusterfucks that benefit no one in Bitcoin, so basically it has become digital gold de-facto, at least in layer 0, the blocksize has become no different from the 21 million coin limit, there's no consensus to change it, at least not anytime soon.

The amount of misunderstanding and fallacious information that has been propagated concerning bitcoin and any derivative system based on a blockchain (such as and including Ethereum) has resulted in my choice to start to become more public. The system I created was designed in part to end fraud as best as that can be done with any technology.

Juxtapose the above with the following excerpts from "Mr Bitcoin: 'I don't want money, I don't want fame!' BBC News" ...

[franky1]

every time there has been big "bitcoin consensus" meetings/conventions. seems some 'hey look what CW is upto' drama begins.

seriously folks. he aint worth anyones time.
if you care about bitcoin. stick to looking at what the bitcoin devs are upto not the altcoin social drama.
let the CW drama belong in a court room

[gmaxwell]

Ineffectual because "crypto" conference have long been thoroughly overrun with scammers. Everyone who takes a strongly principled position on not attending events with scammer sponsors or speakers are already rejecting almost all events in this space.

Scammers just get a much larger marginal return from promotional activities like conference speaking/sponsorships.  Conferences are almost all run as money making enterprises, so the fact that they're saturated with scammers is unsurprising.

Most folks don't even know who really won the Bcash / ABC / SV 'hash' wars ...

there is no winner as long as they both exist and can take hash rate from bitcoin's network! the war has a winner when the other side(s) gets annihilated, or at least we see one 51% attack from one chain against the other. SV is a good candidate for getting 51% attacked since it has a low hashrate already .

both cash and SV didnt 'take' hashrate away
both cash and SV didnt influence bitcoin

in sepember/october (BEFORE SV) there was news of new next gen ASICs hitting the markets by december. so pools slowly wanted to sell off the old (s9) asics whil the S9 had value still. so an october(emphasis BEFORE SV hashdrama) curvedown of hashrate occured.

ofcourse the altcoin drama thought they would take the oppertunity to buy that cheap old tech and start some drama pretending they were somehow involved/cause or effect...

meanwhile. bitcoin network pools thought they would see an early influx of next gen asics and a few pools getting to be the testing ground (QC checks) before the actual release.
but things have been sluggish on that front. whether it be TSMC not producing asics quick enough or just holding out and spreading the batches out a bit to avoid a massive onramp of hashpower on the network.

either way cash/sv did not influence bitcoin.. it was the other way round
