Wright's Ph.D. flying the coop? Shouldn't have put his eggs in one basket!

[gmaxwell]

There is an organized concerted effort to discredit Wright because

You know what the ultimate organizing force is? The goddamn truth. It permeates the universe and allow parties that have never even communicated to magically "conspire" on the same facts.

Wright's victims and sponsors have poured tens of millions promoting this scam ... hundreds of millions if you believe their own claims (you probably shouldn't).

Unfunded participants from the general public speaking up and supporting the truth and opposing lies and scammers like you that transmit them is not an organized and concerted effort by comparison but it's what we have.

If there was a concerned effort wright would be locked in a cage, and maybe you would be too.  Keep it up and perhaps that's where it will end up.

I think it's a great experiment to see if Satoshi's Vision was the correct one. Classic battle between big blockers and small blockers.

If LN manages to get off the ground soon, BTC might have a chance.

while you play drama games about alt networks..
ill continue to buy food and pay bills with ONCHAIN BTC..

oh wait. i see BSV cant do that
there are hundreds of altcoins that play on the 'big block. small block' debate. and dozens that play on the LN alt network. BSV is nothing special

but i cant buy food using them alt currencies/pegged millisat tokens. so they are useless
i like my gold/i like my onchain BTC.
altcoins and pegged tokens are for kids and scammer to play with

First they (banker-backed Blockstream) pushed out Gavin (big blocker) then ran off Mike Hearn (big blocker).

It's a natural consequence of a consensus mechanism.  New ideas can quickly become divisive.  If someone wants to implement features that are fundamentally incompatible with the current network rules, the only way to implement that feature at protocol level is to propose a fork and see who goes along with it.  Alternatively you can sometimes build a new layer on top of the base protocol, but that's not always a viable option for some ideas.  Gavin and Mike made their clients and tried to implement their ideas via hardfork (rightly or wrongly, however people choose to perceive it), but were unsuccessful.

You probably believe that he's Satoshi, but fot the other 99% of the community he's just a liar and an usurper who wants to take credit for someone else's work.

No. But he was around 50% of the original Bitcoin team.

There is insufficient evidence for this assertion.  You are once again attempting to portray your theory that Kleiman and Wright are satoshi as though it were some sort of fact.  It is nowhere close to being a fact.  Please recall the difference between education and indoctrination.  You're putting your credibility on the line again.

This discussion moved in a different direction, but going back to the op I'm wondering whether there will be consequences. Plagiarism is a strict violation of academic integrity, and even though in my country it's, unfortunately, widely tolerated, even here we have talks about implementing procedures of stripping people off their titles which were earned by defending theses that are now known to contain plagiarism. That university is very low in QS university rankings, just like the previous one where he allegedly plagiarized another degree work, so does it mean Craig will get away with this? An article on Cointelegraph claims that the university has launched an investigation already. Do you think we'll see him losing the title?

The guy is a real fraud, in a year or two he probably won’t ever be mentioned. He’s so insignificant, I don’t know why people are still interested in him.

Ummm. BSV is the #4 cryptocurrency in the world today and gaining.

I don't think the CTO of Blockstream would be spending his time on this subject if he wasn't a grave concern.

Why not? Trolling still too cheap.

Metanet gonna fix it.

Wait - that s biggest concern?

I think it's entirely a question of it becoming a scandal for the university.  If it does, they'll drop him like a hot potato-- surely at this point their rules would permit it. If it doesn't, they'll sweep it under the rug-- such is the norm for institutions.

How can some little ano point on a public successful man and doesn't seem hilarious himself?

At least this funny 'public' bloke tries it and hopes to find some little peas between the 16000 - funny, but off the road

It's just totally funny, that all of u try to derail from the tech and legal  issues of btc with hunting ppl and name calling

Satoshi, was wrong
White Paper- don't care
First code, didn't understand
First code maintainer - send to hell
2x contract- broken

Now Segwit solves it all .... still believe that crap?

[Haunebu]

Craig Wright and John McAfee are two of the biggest scamming entertainers in the crypto world these days. I wasn't surprised at all to hear about his PhD issues which was highlighted by another poster recently.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246331.msg54374889#msg54374889

He won't stop here people no matter what the university decides to do about it. He is basically trying his best to outwit McAfee as the biggest loser in the crypto community and he probably will never give up his scamming ways.

and there we have it.
craig wants the case dropped because he knows the whole him and dave partnership had nothing to do with bitcoin. and was a ‘an elaborate fiction.’

we knew this years ago that craig and dave never had a hoard of coins.

but yea the comedy moment is that calvin thinks this then is then the pivot point that allows craig to start patent trolling everyone
(so that calvin can get return on investment)
i pitty calvin. such an idiot. such a mindless fool and such a kiss ass.
and when he doesnt get money from his 'scammer lover' partnership he will then try riding the book tour train. trying to sell his boring story of how he fell victim to the scams for so long

[irukandji]

Where is the signed message from address of genesis block, that he showed from Gavin to BBC in private?

If he fooled Gavin then does anyone know how he did it?

[irukandji]

so cut your loses early, or you will be hurting more later

I don't know what to think about Craig Wright. It looks like he has lied a lot.
BSV though has been the best performing crypto over the last year, so you could have losses but more likely gains.

Question here is - how many people still believe on CW? Because if you ask how many are not believers, it will comprise more than 95% of crypto population. So better ask, is or are there still individual/s that have high regards on CW? Who are still loyal followers of this guy?

[gmaxwell]

If he fooled Gavin then does anyone know how he did it?

Gavin stonewalled technical experts like myself that inquired about it after answering only a couple questions, so we can only figure out so much.

I think at the end of the day we should simply consider Gavin complicit in Wright's fraud. From that perspective there really isn't much to explain.  Sure, he was probably tricked at the time, but in the time since he's failed to withdraw his claims beyond saying that maybe he was tricked and it shouldn't matter.  His endorsement continues to be cited as a central factor in other people's belief.

I say 'probably tricked at the time'; because in spite of my low opinion of Gavin's character and capability I still have a hard time believing that he'd knowingly go along with such a transparent scam-- it just had too low a chance of achieving anything.  Wright apparently tried his con on other people unsuccessfully before Gavin.

Zectro posted a set of instructions for how to perform a fake signing that would have worked given what we (little) know about the irresponsible process Gavin used: https://twitter.com/Zectro1/status/1192576225413222405

I never liked following the herd.  BTC gonna get rekt this year so you better dump on the next big run this summer.  CSW will turn up on top so maybe take off the haters glasses and look at his factual work.

[Kakmakr]

First they (banker-backed Blockstream) pushed out Gavin (big blocker) then ran off Mike Hearn (big blocker).

History lesson: https://medium.com/block-chain/on-block-sizes-e047bc9f830

Now they're using smear tactics against Wright (big blocker) in a desperate attempt to keep their 1MB narrative alive.

They did not push out Gavin, he left on his own. Mike Hearn rage quit and also left when he saw that he could not take control of the real Bitcoin (BTC) ... they then partnered to try to hard fork a competitive Alt coin and then they failed.    (Underestimating the support that they had in the community)  

CW is simply a Snake oil salesman and you have to be blind not to see it. It has nothing to do with his big blocker position, but rather the combined total of the lies that has been exposed over time.

The 1MB narrative is working like a charm and it is supported by the majority.  

[Wind_FURY]

I'm pretty sure CSW is not right in the head. He can be a pathological liar with delusions of grandeur. Definitely a case for a psychiatrist.

The same could be said of Tesla, Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg, and a host of others.

HAHAHA! Did you just suggest that Craig Wright could be like those people who actually brought/did/built something "insanely great" in this world?

Craig Wright is a Borat-like-character, a troll.

If he fooled Gavin then does anyone know how he did it?

Too take things deeper, WHY? Was he deliberately destroying his own reputation? Was there "something" going on with him after he went to Langley?

Just like he'll 51% HR attack Bitcoin ?

Just like he'll cramble the mem pool ?
