I meant stolen/lost. Ofc physical and digital keys are not the same but Satoshi's wallet is probably multisig wallet meaning in order to move bitcoins multiple keys need to be signed and my assumption is Satoshi does not have access to all the keys required for moving his coins.
But honestly I think there will never be direct evidence of somebody being Satoshi or in another words circumstantial evidence needs to be presented. Craig said he will share his bank statement of him buying bitcoin.org domain but I'm still waiting for it.
After all Craig seems like a perfect candidate for Satoshi; Craig uses British English like Satoshi used because Craig is an Australian, he is fluent in C and C++(Bitcoin was written in C++ and math code inside Bitcoin whitepaper was written in C), he used to teach C++ programming in an Australian university(all C++ programmers said to me that Bitcoin's codebase is amateur like it was written by some academic who never wrote code for practical use) this fits Craig and his professor like demeanour . And last but not least Craig spent his professional career researching computer security and computer networks again skills which were required in order for someone to design and derive Bitcoin.
- cmeacham98 4y agoMulti-sig wallets weren't invented until 3-4 years after the initial release of bitcoin (I can't pin down an exact date, but I believe it was some time in 2012). Craig claims (or at least, has previously claimed) that he controls an address that is well-known to belong to Satoshi[0]. Turns out, the proof he provided is fake[1]. In my opinion, when you say "I have hard proof, here it is" and it turns out that proof is faked we can throw all the circumstantial evidence out the window. As you seem to believe him (at least more than you doubt), I'd be interested in your thoughts on why Craig would act this way if he actually was Satoshi. 0: https://web.archive.org/web/20160502072011/http://www.drcraigwright.net/jean-paul-sartre-signing-significance/ https://web.archive.org/web/20160502072011/http://www.drcrai... 1: https://github.com/patio11/wrightverification https://github.com/patio11/wrightverification
