If Dr. Wright is indeed taking us for a ride, he doesn't seem worried that the "real" Satoshi won't come out and expose him as a fraud (like he did a few years ago with Dorian Nakamoto). Although the circumstances were different then, the chances of this happening are absolutely non-zero, and it could happen at any time. Why continue pushing the issue and drawing attention, which only adds to the risk of this happening?
I'm not saying at all that this is indicative that Dr. Wright is Satoshi, but IMO it's definitely interesting.
- geofft 10y agoDid he really? The message was in March 2014 from the "Satoshi Nakamoto" account on p2pfoundation.ning.com: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topic/listForContributor?user=0ye0gncqg772o http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topic/listForContributor... which at one point (probably) belonged to Satoshi, but by September 2014 (almost certainly) belonged to someone else. The account was only used three times before that, in February 2009, to write a post about Bitcoin and two replies. It's certainly possible that if one non-Satoshi person gained access to the account between 2009 and 2014, multiple people could have, and that the person who sent the March 2014 message was just an unrelated kindhearted person who wanted the paparazzi to stop bothering Dorian Nakamoto.
