> …lawyers picked apart Wright’s claims that some of his computer documents had been typed before 2008, using evidence from font designers. The witnesses testified that some fonts “hadn’t even been created until years after the alleged date of the document”…<p><a href="https://craigwright.net/" rel="nofollow">https://craigwright.net/</a><p>Fascinating.

> A legal notice on Wright’s website¹ now states that he is not Satoshi and that he has been ordered not to carry out any more legal proceedings based on these false claims.<p>I can see the notice, but how does that work? Did the court order that specific phrasing and page? Have they seized the domain? Are they going to run it indefinitely? Is there anything stopping Craig from purchasing a new domain and using that?<p>¹ <a href="https://craigwright.net" rel="nofollow">https://craigwright.net</a>
This man is a true hero<p>…to liars everywhere. He lied, he forged documents, he filed suits. Most people will never go to these lengths to back up their lies, no matter how big the potential windfall. You have to respect the dedication if nothing else.
If he's not Satoshi and doesn't have Satoshi's keys the what is the point of saying he is Satoshi? Seems like a long way to go for some notoriety and no financial gain.
It was always sad to me that most of the people I met who believed him were non-native English speakers.<p>Just my experience with his followers in person. Made me suspect they couldnt detect nuance or bullshit in our language.
> In one instance, the lawyers set about trying to disprove the legitimacy of handwritten notes. ... Sherrell’s team tracked down the printer of the notepad in China, proving that the exact version of that notebook had not been released until years after Wright’s claims.<p>lol
So, to recap, a large global industry is built on a foundation that the true identity of a particular currently-anonymous person must never be identified and certainly not posthumously.
In fairness, anyone trying to convince me of any given fact of authorship could do well by leaving the bright red shirt and braces combo in the wardrobe.
Craig is still Satoshi, no matter what a court has (temporarily) ordered him to state. Craig has followed the legal process 100% for years at this point, paid every (massive) court-ordered payment. The majority of cases feature him as defendant because Bitcoin ultimately threatens the establishment and must be controlled at any cost. This is the true source of the negative sentiment and constant attacks.<p>He just today waived privilege on X and began outlining accusations against his previous legal representation for not following his explicit instructions, and instead followed orders from a man who has been recently convicted in a UK court, is facing bankruptcy in that country, and has fled as a fugitive from justice. The rabbit hole goes deep.<p>Craig and the BSV Association have worked together with AWS and Aerospike to conclusively prove the Bitcoin protocol is capable of scaling to at least 120GB sized blocks, at over 1 million P2PKH transactions per second. The BTC core team said this was impossible, yet BSVA has provided data from a public cloud provider, with geographically distributed nodes to prove it is. What's more, it's been stated that it does so at an initial cost that is drastically less than most anticipated. These costs are highly likely to be lowered through optimization.<p>The majority of opinions expressed in this thread will most certainly be abandoned in time when the full body of work can no longer be ignored. One only needs to perform a simple patent search to discover the depth of research and innovation established on blockchain, and then realize that the sheer number of applications and grants are not the work of someone attempting to pull a con. It is true innovation, the same way Bitcoin was and is.
