To give people a heads up. There has been a huge amount of drama in the Bitcoin space, and this is related to the individual known as Craig Wright. Craig Wright made a bunch of claims a couple years ago, that he was Satoshi. He released a bunch of "proof" that was proven false. Recently, he created a new crypto coin callee bitcoin Satoshi's Vision. This new post is almost certainly another fake attempt by Craig to claim that he is Satoshi.

That's a speculation.

  There is only one person in the space who is constantly making fake Satoshi claims that get proven wrong every single time. That chances that this is the same fake claim is very high.

  It's speculation, but if you've been following the drama like I have (I'm not particularly interested in cryptocurrency per se, but I love reading about it like a sporting event), it's almost certainly Craig. Craig Wright has been caught numerous times falsifying evidence that leads people to think he's Satoshi Nakamoto. It's such a ridiculous ruse, and I think the only reason he's still hanging around is he's backed by a billionaire named Calvin Ayre who has thrown his full weight behind Craig Wright. Ayre built a whole company around Craig that's constantly trying to promote him as being Satoshi. A couple weeks ago, a new twitter user with the handle @satoshi emerged and tweeted a signature that validates with Satoshi's public key. The problem? A signature in ECDSA can easily be forged using only knowledge of the public key. It doesn't prove anything unless you're signing a non-gibberish message. This is also very similar to a trick Craig Wright already tried when he first tried to claim he was Satoshi in 2016. The twitter user got suspended, so that got shut down without much of a fuss in the media, but if you follow this closely, you know that Craig was involved based on MO and because the public relations blitz of his company was very carefully coordinated almost exactly when @satoshi started tweeting. (Among other things, @satoshi and Craig's typical twitter posted extremely similar tweets within a few minutes of each other.) Similarly, in this case, Craig and associated social media accounts started making thinly veiled oblique references to "light" and "nour" at the same time.
