AFAIK that's only happened once, in the Dorian case. In that case, the media and papparazzos were hounding a frail old man who was clearly very uncomfortable with the whole thing.
Craig Wright seems to just love being in the spotlight. So there's no reason to deny the claims for empathic reasons. It would suck for the real Satoshi to create an expectation that he'll have to individually refute all these claims, I imagine he has other things to do.
- blowski 10y agoThis is the post I was referring to: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/10/bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-denies-being-craig-wright-maybe https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/10/bitcoin-c... Again, no proof that the real Satoshi posted this (as mentioned in the article) so I realise we're dealing with many layers of hypotheticals.
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y agoIn the Dorian case, the same account also posted a warning that Satoshi's account was compromised around the same time.
- ryanlol 10y agoThe Dorian post was made by the hacker that took satoshis email account with a gmx exploit (lol inspect element). And no, I'm not speculating.
- blowski 10y agoDo you have a source for that?
- ryanlol 10y agoMy eyes.
- dimino 10y agoWhat do your elf eyes see?
- ryanlol 10y agoQuite normal eyes. And they observed said hacker doing that. I can't very well cite sources as I'd normally be the one being cited.
- blowski 10y agoI'll confess, possibly showing ignorance, that I have no idea who you are and thus no idea how seriously to trust what you're saying. I'm sceptical because somebody on Reddit claimed to have sent the Dorian message over Telnet.
- ryanlol 10y agoThis is probably the least elaborate way to prove that I'm not totally clueless: https://defuse.ca/b/XCZtnL6Ix2F4ZuuLocy6pi https://defuse.ca/b/XCZtnL6Ix2F4ZuuLocy6pi That's a (easily verifiable) sample of the DB that was taken during the latest bitcointalk hack, it is not publicly available on the internet.
- blowski 10y agoOK that's fair enough, and no offense intended. If I see someone with <10K karma, no name or link in their profile, and I don't recognise the handle, then I take everything they say with a pinch of salt.
- dimino 10y agoCan you also see how useless such a claim is to someone like me? How can I cite you in conversations or decisions in the future? If no one can use the information you provide in any meaningful way, what is the point of sharing the information in the first place?
