I know what cryptocurrency is but I have hardly followed what goes on. I am somewhat familiar with the recent event involving Wright.
Could someone tell me, in plain English, if there are any challenges in Wright divulging the information needed to verify that he is Satoshi?
- c22 10y agoThere are only challenges if he doesn't have the key. If he has the key he should trivially be able to sign anything with it or decrypt anything encrypted to it.
- pgrote 10y agoIs there a reason he hasn't or won't spend some on the original bitcoins to prove his claim? I don't think spend isn't the proper technical term.
- ChristianBundy 10y agoThe reason is that he's "too weak", supposedly. The real reason is that he isn't Satoshi.
- noxToken 10y agoThat's what I thought, but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks!
- roywiggins 10y agoThe key could be in a vault inside his secret volcano base. If someone just wires him $ to charter a flight, he can retrieve his millions and share it. I wonder if the scam he has been running is "front me money to build a supercomputer to bruteforce my passworded wallet containing Satoshi's millions." This would be more convincing if he were actually Satoshi and 'lost' the password....
