Well, you failed miserably at that.

Checking for double spending, while in theory decentralise-able, is in
practice done by one of two groups.

Secure? Seems there are a lot of scams, no refunds, no real anonymity -
a public blockchain for chrissake, if you know someone's wallet you can
see all past and subsequent spending and income  - not too secure IMO.

And Bitcoin is not a currency, you can't conveniently buy things (except
drugs and guns) with it. It doesn't scale for buying coffee or groceries.

It is a greater fool bubble based on zero intrinsic worth.

Err, how does knowing Satoshi's public key prove your identity as
Satoshi? Now if you sign something with it ..

And how does knowing any of those email addresses prove your identity as
Satoshi?

Even emails actually coming from or replies to emails sent to them
wouldn't convince me, Mike Weber, assuming if I trusted him,  who used
to own vistomail and anonymousspeech, unfortunately didn't renew the
domains and there is a new owner - and wasn't there something in the
Peter Wright trial about the satoshin at gmx.com email being hacked?



See, the thing is, Satoshi would know that that is just a load of old
bollocks, and no kind of proof of identity. Especially to a group of
cryptographers. He would know what to provide.

And it's deliberately faked "evidence". So no chance. I vote to block
him. We have had enough of this crap.
