Craig Wright recognised by US Govt as Satoshi, author of white paper

[kalostrian]

Time for Satoshi to post a message here or even move coins from his wallet defacing this impostor

[joshy23]

Really this guy! He claims to have created Bitcoin "to works within existing legal frameworks" I must have the wrong place, so. Even if he assigns the copyright registrations to Bitcoin Association, it doesn't change the fact that he is lying to people.
Those who already know Bitcoin (even without using it) know the truth very well. But what will it be for future generations? It's like school in history, the truth is often different. This guy should be sued for a cult organization, he even infested the U.S. Copyright Office lol . I hope that a day Satoshi will return and prove his identity, just to get fun on this thief.

When that day comes this would literally be a huge slap to this mans face and make a huge shame on him,
Of I forget he doesn't really care about it since he is so persistence of his act.
But no matter what they say we would always know that he is not the real creator of Bitcoin and the real creator would always be a mystery for us .

I like that, time will tell the real things around this industry, most of us are not going to buy his claims, he just wanted to earned lots of money from people
who believes inside this market, let that happen and let him enjoy, as time goes and it will reveal who's the maker and the real satoshi who desire to be kept in secret as how he wanted this chain being decentralized and not be controlled by anyone.

So this guy just trying to take advantage of the loophole existing in system and further pushing his agenda of making fool the people.

PS: Anyone else thinking of registering because loophole also state that :

Registering a copyright is just filing a form. The Copyright Office does not investigate the validity of the claim; they just register it. Unfortunately there is no official way to challenge a registration. If there are competing claims, the Office will just register all of them.

PS: Anyone else thinking of registering because loophole also state that :

that requires the person to be a real scammer and willing to face the consequences of such an obvious and huge scam! most people aren't willing, even scammers don't want to do something like that, they prefer keeping their scams hidden and silent.

Not recognized.

Well done for not just jumping on the headline. This is complete clickbait nonsense.

He has registered a copyright claim. Anyone can register a copyright claim for anything. Registering a claim says nothing about the claim being investigated, verified, supported by evidence, legally binding, etc. Everyone who has posted in this thread could right now register a copyright claim for bitcoin's whitepaper, and they would all be accepted.

If it wasn't hilarious enough that someone claiming to be Satoshi (who has apparently abandoned everything Satoshi stood for) was shouting his identity from every platform he can find and suing people for not believing him, let's all take a moment to appreciate just how hilarious someone claiming to be Satoshi filing a copyright claim is. Let's also appreciate the hilarity of the BSV shills pumping BSV on the back of this fraudulent announcement.

implications for Bitcoin?

Implication of this development for bitcoin? I say: NOTHING! The WhitePaper is a piece of document but it has no power whatsoever to affect the platform which can be based on that WhitePaper because it is not a sort of a land title which can convey ownership and inherent rights into something. In fact, bitcoin is an open source and anybody can copy and modify  it anytime. So let us allow Craig Wright to do whatever he wanted to do with that document which can print and swallow with all of his desire. Fool!

[Harlot]

The news soreading that Craig Wright is Satoshi is surely about pumping the prices of Bitcoin SV which as of right now is up by 120% from its current price yesterday. I'm pretty sure that after a few days he will deny his identity as being Satoshi Nakamoto in order ti normalize BSV's prices again. I don't even know how the hell did he convinced the U.S. government to play along with his roleplaying, the big part of the influence was the U.S. government giving recognition to him.

Still no Signed and Verified message to date from CSW, whatsoever.

Here is how you Sign and Verify a message with Bitcoin (Copyright Office and Courts take note) ...

Verifying my (old) zero balance wallet address for blockchain research etc.,

Bitcoin is Financial Cryptography. Now learn to use it properly!

One might imagine that Bitcoin's actual creator would be able to do this type of Signing and Verifying - in a blink of an eye - don't you think!

Without doing the above, CSW (nChain etc.,) is effectively holding the crypto markets to 'ransom' by not providing a simple, easy, verifiable and pubic proof. In fact, either way a proof-of-market-manipulation has now been clearly demonstrated.

if US Govt recognised Virus Wright as Satoshi, author of white paper is because clearly/obviously he is not the real one, the question that we must ask to ourselft is, why the govt do this, maybe because they know the real identity of Mr. SN and they know that never will come out or something like that?

Seems like they haven't recognized him as yet. Everyone can claim something to be their own and unless some others claim the same, it would be called his/her. But if some other wants to claim the same, they need to file a lawsuit against the initial claimer.
Even though US gave him a patent or whatever, no one is going to fall for his lies at all.

oh! i see then i was just confused by the title thread, so Virus Wright is just trying to increased his bad reputation again....nothing new then.

[denzkilim]

It seems that there is an effect to Bitcoin Satoshi Vision with that news and BSV is now having some tremendous upward movement. Let's see until when Bitcoin SV can manage to hold this dramatic upward trend that looks connected to the news of Craig Wright's copyright of the Bitcoin whitepaper.

Not recognized.

That's correct anyone can do a copyright claim without any problem.

The news just used a tricky word, make it look like that US granted CW but rather CW granted or given US a copyright registration request.  This will cause confusion just what happen in this thread discussion.  I myself were caught by it until a reply stated that he just registered a copyright claim to the Bitcoin whitepaper.  So no approval yet in short, and I hope he will not be recognized.  It is a blatant lie that he is Satoshi Nakamoto because he cannot do a simple signed message on the address known used by the original author of the Bitcoin whitepaper.

I normally avoid coingeek as it doesn't seem like a very reputable source.  IMO, it's closer to a dedicated shilling site than any sort of legitimate media outlet.

It seems I will avoid coingeek from now on.  The title is total twist of word making one to think otherwise on the first glance.  They new that using granted will automatically convey a message of approved..  damn trickery!

[tomahawk9]

Wow! Watch the BSV price action. +100% already. This is getting ridiculous...

Yeah, just saw that, looks like a lame attempt from the BSV camp to attract investors, newcomers and whanot by pumping its price, or there are actually A LOT of morons that bought the news and are now pouring tons of capital into this shitcoin...Either way, this is far from being organic growth, I'm expecting a huge dump very soon...not like I care anyways

Next Step: Sign a message using one of your (?) wallet addresses

[kosmost]

Curious. Does anyone think it is impossible that Wright is Satoshi?

[0zero0]

Not only that he has also claimed that the he has written most of the bitcoin code. I wonder how the U.S. is giving him the copyright registrations.
Bitcoin is decentralized, how come a centralized government has the rights to declare copyrights of a decentralized currency.

[AriBitcoin]

Curious. Does anyone think it is impossible that Wright is Satoshi?

Yes, unless he signs a message using the private keys of Satoshi Nakamato.

Meaning that if he doesn't sign, then it is impossible that he is Satoshi?

[amrulshare]

why is this guy, always ambitious to claim himself as Satoshi Nakamoto. Basically, Bitcoin is a symbol of the creation of an encrypted and anonymous digital currency, so why did it not do it when he created bitcoin that year, this is an act that should not be praised as a professional in any industry.
