Australian Satoshi Nakamoto cannot prove his identity. Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? This is a puzzle that still has no answer. If we want to say that the closest time to Satoshi Nakamoto was in May 2016, when Australian computer scholar Pre SY came out and claimed that he was the father of Bitcoin. At that time, even Gabby Anderson, the classic Bitcoin code merger, came out to testify for him, saying that he used the first and ninth blocks privately. That year, Satoshi Nakamoto transferred the mining proceeds of the ninth block to the private key of the deceased Bitcoin developer Coffee Ni, signed the sentence "Gaming's favorite number is 11", and it was verified by Gavin Anderson.
But in the evidence that CRE Greg later disclosed, he only used a known signature information to sign a segment of Jean Paul Sartra's speech in 1964 when he refused to accept the Nobel Prize for Literature, and he did not respond to the reporter's request to transfer a sum of bitcoins from the known Satoshi Nakamoto address. This makes people speculate that everything is just a scam carefully arranged by CRE Brye.
Why can transferring a bitcoin from a known Satoshi Nakamoto address prove Craig Ryder's identity as Satoshi Nakamoto, but signing a document with a known signature message cannot? The reason is actually very simple, because in the world of Bitcoin, only the private key can prove that a person owns the bitcoin. A public signature message can be obtained by anyone, so it cannot prove that Craig Ryder has the private key of this address, and thus cannot prove his identity as Satoshi Nakamoto.
In May 2016, a BBC reporter transferred 0.017 bitcoins to the address of the first bitcoin transaction in 2009, asking Craig to return the money, but there has been no result so far. In the investigation of well-known reporter Andrew Ohaygen, this farce about Satoshi Nakamoto's identity has become a business conspiracy involving 15 million US dollars.
In 2015, Right fell into financial difficulties and was investigated by the Australian Taxation Office. At the end of 2015, he fled Australia and sought refuge in London. During this period, Craig SY digitally sought help from his former colleague Stephen Matthews. According to Stefan Matthews' recollection, in 2008, Right showed him a document signed by Satoshi Nakamoto. He did not pay attention to it at the time, but later realized that it was actually the original manuscript of the Bitcoin white paper.
This incident confirmed that Right and Satoshi Nakamoto had some connection, so he used this as a condition to persuade Robert McGregor, CEO of Canadian p2p company Entrust, to invest in Right and acquire several indebted computer companies under Write and its intellectual property rights for US$15 million.
After listening to Stephen Matthews's description and seeing the evidence exposed online, McGregor was convinced that Right was Satoshi Nakamoto. Therefore, on June 29, 2015, they reached an agreement, McGregor was responsible for clearing all outstanding debts that hindered Y Company's comeback, and Right was responsible for providing the story of being Satoshi Nakamoto and evidence of his identity.
McGregor's calculations were very good. He thought that once the identity of Right Nakamoto was confirmed, he could sell all of Right's technical patents for more than $1 billion and make a fortune. However, McGregor probably didn't expect that Craig Greg was unwilling to produce or said that he didn't have any evidence of owning the private key of the early Bitcoin address. For traditional assets, such as real estate, cars, and even bank deposits, if you want to prove that you own them, you must produce a certificate of registration or registration with a central agency, and these certificates can be forged. For a sum of cash, it is actually very difficult to prove its ownership, because as long as you convince others that you own the funds, then you are its owner and can spend it at will.
Here, we can review what evidence has been available from the end of 2015 to the present. Create right is a paper published by Satoshi Nakamoto in August 2008, Ryan published on his blog about issuing a cryptocurrency, which is similar to Bitcoin. At that time, Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer electronic payment system, had not yet been released. In November 2008, the blog updated another blog post, which included a request that if readers wanted to access their information, they needed to use a PGP public key, which was obviously related to Satoshi Nakamoto.
On January 9, 2009, Australian time, before the official launch of Bitcoin, Right wrote in a blog post that the test version of Bitcoin would be launched tomorrow. In January 2014, Right sent an email to his colleagues using the email address Satoshi VISTOMAIL dot COM. The Satoshi VISTOMAIL dot COM address is very similar to the email address Satoshi VISTOMAIL dot COM used by Satoshi Nakamoto to publish his paper.
Gavin Anderson and Stefan Matthews proved that Create Right is Satoshi Nakamoto. If Bitcoin is just an ordinary invention, the above evidence may prove that Craig Ride is at least one of the inventors. If Bitcoin is just an ordinary cash asset, let alone Gavin Anderson and Stefan Matthews, he can spend the money at will even if no one proves it. Therefore, one of the important reasons why we say that Bitcoin is great is that the emergence of Bitcoin has changed the form of traditional asset ownership. In the world of Bitcoin, under any circumstances, only the private key is the only certificate that can prove the ownership of the asset, so that no one can easily take other people's wealth for themselves.
