The world of Bitcoin has the spotlight on the face of Craig Stevens Wright, the 44 year old Australian who Wired and Gizmoto have referred to as the father of bitcoin after a month of investigations on documents received by newsrooms. So broke the news bomb, again.
Over the years, since 2009 until now, the search for the creator of cryptocurrency was marked by various discoveries and scoop. Just over a year ago Newsweek had taken for granted a 64 year old resident of Temple City, California, Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, like the brilliant inventor of virtual currency, firing his photo on the front page, then ended up in the newspapers and news from around the world . The man then denied the report, claiming that he knew nothing of the existence of Bitcoin.
But who is this man Australian businessman whose face has become famous in a few hours bouncing in newspapers all the world? The question of whether they are placed in many and digging into the past of man has found his name already in this year’s list, which lists the likely ‘Nakamoto’. Whether or not the papal candidate also says his immoderate passion for virtual currency, in the emails stolen and submitted to Gizmoto, the man reported that he himself is the famous and Satoshi – January 10, 2009 – the beta version of bitcoin was ready for launch. Also the owner of his rented house, some Hayres Garry, during the search of the federal police on 9 December in Sydney against Wright, said that the alleged father of the three-phase generators crypto currency had to increase the enhancement of current and very powerful computer system, such as those used to undermine the currency encrypted.
Wright is a university professor, administrator of two companies, such as DeMorgan Ltd, a company focused on the currency ‘alternative’ and on the next generation banking products and Panopticrypt Pty Ltd. Also bloggers, so that from his blog there have been numerous reports about his computer skills, the ability to manage large bitcoin and deep knowledge of the subject. In short papal candidate, very papal candidate for the throne of Satoshi. The reconstruction of the life of man makes him an avid bitcoiner, always ready to talk about the cryptocurrency and its benefits, so as to propose to the Australian Government btc it owns, in a meeting with his lawyer, and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as a currency, and not as property subject to taxation heavier.
Among all investigations conducted by journalists and bitcoiner in years this seems to be the most reliable, since bearing email and stolen documents, a real bitcoinleak, short, or NakamotoLeak I prefer. Seriously, the world community of enthusiasts and the trade press itself give feverishly hunting creator of virtual currency and, among the many in circulation, only it can not be still and to reconstruct the genealogy of this mystery seems to do with a pivotal to create greater momentum to the market. The value of bitcoins, so far has grown to about $ 5 billion, since the use it has been done, from the sale of illicit on darknet, the international money transfer, a growing world market. Wright himself during a panel discussion has implied to be Nakamoto, saying that all the things we were talking about, he was for a long time, but he preferred to keep his head down
Another pivotal character of History is the friend – partner? – Wright, Dave Kleiman, a US Army veteran living in Palm Beach, Fla. The man, after being confined to a wheelchair for a motorcycle accident in 1995 at age 28, he became a genius of computer forensics, devoting himself to it with excessive obsession and burrowing in the solitude of his home. Precisely for this loneliness Kleiman died alone, following a serious infection of bedsores. The body was found days after his death in 2013, decomposed and surrounded by bottles of alcohol and a loaded gun. Everything in the house denoted the loneliness and abandonment in which he lived the last months of his life. However, according Gizmoto, from the documents examined, this man confined in a house in Florida and the existence of which was evidently known to few, it would possess a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars and heavily involved with the activities of Wright.
The bitcoin community
The lovers and the miner does not seem to agree with this spill leaks, perhaps because tired of the news bomb that prove just flop days later. Besides the first to get their hands on the information given were journalists themselves, who in their scoop of Wired US wrote that ‘or Wright is really Nakamoto, or is a genius who has bleffati’. One of the statements, commenting on the news from the miner was that “the interesting thing is that Satoshi can not sell even a bitcoin his treasure without being noticed, as we know in which addresses are stored and thawed if they were there would realize immediately. So conceivably wait until the bitcoin are so much a part of the economic structure that you can not do without them, “said Peter Speroni, fond of virtual currency which mathematician. The amount of ‘treasure’, would amount to 7% of the total value of bitcoins in circulation.
After the ‘blasting news’ the search. It is assumed that the tax authorities did not like the way he handled Wright money. According to the findings of fact by Reuters, 12 officers of the Australian Federal Police searched his modest home in Gordon, Sydney suburb, but it would not be linked to the news of the new Satoshi, but measures to the tax authorities had already taken to humans. Recall, however, that the Australian Government is one or more severe mass surveillance.
All this news has triggered investigative journalists in the industry and everyone started snooping hound in the leaked documents. The first to take the step was the magazine Motherboard that, with an investigation into the PGP key belonging to Nakamoto and filed in bitcoin.org says that the cryptographic key is located there since 2009 when the infamous Satoshi Nakamoto was still associated with the site and the original key that was created in 2008 with encryption DSA-1024. PGP keys, instead, used by Wired in Gizmoto, to connect to Wright Nakamoto, would be created in 2009 and charged in 2011. Another point on which focuses Motherboard to deny the news and declare it a hoax is the email address used by both news sites to leverage the veracity of the scoop: satoshin@vistomail.com. This email would, for another US Wired evidence connecting Wright identity Nakamoto. But, as he writes Motherboard, the real address of the father of bitcoin, yet – at this point – hidden behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto is satoshi@vistomail.com.
In the news also discredit WikiLeaks in a tweet .
Jeff Garzik, who would communicate directly with Nakamoto, with a number you tweet has denied that he met with the Australian.
Mystery of the mysteries still waiting to be unveiled? It seems to have fallen into yet bufata Nakamoto call it.
