People are skeptical because this isn't the first time he claimed to be Satoshi [1], and that time he did it by back-dating posts. This time he did it with a demonstrably fake signing of Sartre text.
Why would the real Satoshi go to great lengths to create fake evidence?
- andy_ppp 11y agoOkay, I'll bite. He is the creator of Bitcoin but supplies terrible evidence of him being the creator to throw everyone off the scent :-) Maybe.
- sigmar 11y agoIt's not "terrible evidence" It was lengthy, time-consuming, very clearly fabricated evidence. He claimed he had private keys tied to Satoshi, but refused to sign anything with it (which would have taken 30 seconds).
- andy_ppp 11y agoI wasn't clear; if you were trying to throw people off the scent of who made Bitcoin by making everyone think it wasn't you this is a pretty successful attempt- I think he's a troll but don't discount the possibility that it's really him :-D
