You probably don't want to believe anything in this: The author is a well known scammer/con-artist (Craig Wright) who has a long running advanced fee fraud scheme predicated on convincing suckers that he created bitcoin and has some secret stash of billions that he could get to only if his victims help him with some cash flow problems. He has a long history of using forgeries, faked documents, plagiarism, and impersonation in order to pass himself off as some kind of credible. This article is debunked in the "Further Epilogue" of https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html Moreover, the images of their supposed MFM imaging was just copied off a manufacturer's page ( https://web.archive.org/web/20090418043851/https://www.engr.sjsu.edu/WofMatE/Mat'sChar2.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20090418043851/https://www.engr.... shows another copy on a similarly old page, citing the source) -- so it seems unlikely that they ever performed any measurements at all. A big chunk was plagiarized from an uncited source ("A Practical Guide to Scanning Probe Microscopy (1993)")... another hallmark of Wright's lame forgeries. There was a phenomenal twitter thread that went over all this and more, but Wright used spurious legal threats to drive the author off twitter. The biggest loss was where it pointed out that one of the citations in this paper is where they tried to cite Nikola Tesla in [20], but used the title of the 1989 album The Great Radio Controversy by the rock band Tesla ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Radio_Controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Radio_Controversy ). :P These days Wright is busy prolonging a lawsuit against a dozen former and current Bitcoin developers-- including myself--, demanding that they help him compensate for his lack of private keys by publishing a backdoored version of Bitcoin in order to aid him in taking billions of dollars worth of other people's coins, or failing that pay him billions of dollars themselves. I wouldn't be shocked now if Wright wasn't promoting this article because in one of his lawsuits he claimed hackers hid a "wifi pineapple" in his home and used it to penetrate his systems and then delete his private keys. ... and then before contacting law enforcement he completely wiped his systems, helpfully destroying evidence that the supposed hack never happened and that the keys never existed. So now he's invested in the claim that deletions are never recoverable, to cover for his transparent spoliation. He's now funded by loans taken out against his non-existing bitcoin fortune, which likely explains why he's cowardly doing everything he can to delay progress in at least five different court cases. Presumably the consequences for him will be dire when his victims start realizing the funds he promised them next existed. Esp because one of the largest sponsors is a former drug smuggler who spent a decade on the run on the DHS most wanted list.

reading this is like a bad novel dude, you are trying so hard to discredit Craig it is now becoming a tad sad tbh….. Craig has been inviting people in court (including BTC devs) and is awaiting the COPA case to prove he is Satoshi, it was Peter McKormack who bailed out even though being backed by Tether (you know that endless source of money he could use to fight Craig) It was cobra whi backed out of defending the bitcoin.org which defaulted to Craig Instead of fighting Craig in court Tether pulled out of the case, yes Tether pulled out and no longer fights that Craig is not Satoshi after having seen the evidence. Many others have been running as well, rather than actually fighting him in court. (Roger Ver, Adam Back, Greg Maxwell) Folks like @fluffypony and @mcafee all calling Craig a fraud, a common theme, all of them landed in jail for fraudulent behaviour. Funnily enough Greg is one of the greatest social media engineers fighting a war against Craig but please notice how he is to much of a coward to fight him in court…… Instead he and his crypto space buddies, fight a nasty social media war by spreading misinfo on Craig (using sockpuppet accounts) to make it look like the most functional scalable and technically advanced chain(original Bitcoin with set in stone rules) is a fraud……

  > please notice how he is to much of a coward to fight him in court I filed my response to the conman's laughable $6 billion dollar lawsuit against me on June 16th, which is now almost 11 weeks ago. By comparison, I was only granted only 4 weeks to both find legal representation and respond. Wright appears to be doing almost everything in his power to delay progress in court cases. E.g. he's started claiming that covid hardships are delaying him from going to trial, ironically on a day where he gave a presentation in front of a room full of prospective investors in his scam. In your response you don't appear to have read my message at all. You don't deny wright's disk writing claims are debunked, that the only 'evidence' he provides of performing the experiment turns out to be an image stolen from a mfgr website, that text was plagiarized, or that he can't even bother to distinguish a scientist from a rock band. Wright has lost in court multiple times against Roger Ver. Against Adam Back wright not only failed but had to pay all of Dr. Back's legal fees. And against myself Wright appears to be doing all he can to delay responding. > Peter McKormack who bailed out Journalist Peter McCormack is being sued by Wright for defamation in the UK for simply repeating what everyone else had been saying for years before: That Wright's supposed evidence of being Satoshi is all obviously fake. Wright has bankrupted him with millions of UKP in legal expenses in what is apparently the most expensive defamation case in UK history ( https://twitter.com/petermccormack/status/1405578250240286720 https://twitter.com/petermccormack/status/140557825024028672... ) yet he has by no means "bailed out". The fact that Wright is suing journalists for criticizing his obviously false claims is why it's important that people like me step up to point out the scam-- because his naked threats and intimidation prevent others from doing so. > using sockpuppet accounts You have a brand new pseudonymous account to post your attack. By contrast, I am publishing here under my only account, one which I've used here since 2010, which is well known and happily disclosed to be me. Sounds to me that you're applying a criticism to your targets that would be better applied to yourself. I don't have to do anything to make it look like Wright is a fraud because it is transparently obvious that he is one, which is why multiple courts have found that his testamony was false and perjurious and that his documents were forgeries.
