Interview with Craig “Satoshi” Wright
The other day I came to lead an interview with Satoshi. At least with an alleged Satoshi. Strictly speaking, I chatted with VLAD2VLAD, who is said to speak for Craig Stephen Wright, who is supposed to be Satoshi. In the end I was pretty sure that I didn’t talk to Satoshi. The interview is amusing, I hope, anyway.
We know the whole affair with the Pseuso-Satoshi Craig Steven Wright (CSW), and it now happened that I was invited to a slack channel in which Vlad2vlad is also present, a hacker who has been swearing for a few months that Wright Satoshi has been in touch with this. Vlad promised me to answer questions for Wright, almost in real time.
So well, why not? Here is the translated, abbreviated interview by Christoph Bergmann with Vlad2vlad aka Craig Steven Wright aka Satoshi Nakamoto.
About Vlad and Craig Wright
Christophbergmann [10:00 am]
Hei, @vlad2vlad, you are here? You said CSW would answer any question that I ask with your voice ..
Vlad2vlad [10:01 am]
Ask a question
Christophbergmann [10:01 am]
cool … first … how did you get to the voice of CSW?
Vlad2vlad [10:02 am]
Fate? Or do you want me to ask him?
[10:06 am]He said that: You are a little crazy like me, and I wouldn’t say that you are my voice. But above all, you never treated me badly. You never asked for me to evidence. You are always friendly.
[10:08]I met him on Twitter last year, and so sent him some emails without expecting something to come out.
Christophbergmann [10:09 am]
When did you start to believe that he is Satoshi?
Vlad2vlad [10:11 am]
I personally thought that he was Satoshi before the Leaks existed after seeing him in a video from 2015. That was what he won with me. Then he revealed himself, all this crazy stuff happened, it was confusing, but I found that there had to be a logical explanation for all of this, and unlike most people, I was on his side in doubt. I felt that he deserved it.
Questions for Craig Wright
After that I asked questions about Craig Steven Wright. Vlad answered her after about 1-3 minutes. I just asked some of the questions I would have asked Satoshi. On the one hand, because I like it to speculate about these stories, on the other hand, because I hoped to learn more about whether Wright is now Satoshi or a high -stapler.
Christophbergmann [10:15 am]
What did he do in 2010-2015?
Vlad2vlad [10:20 am]
2010 to 2010: I was in a crappy situation with my family. I was also in a court trial with the tax office (I won in 2012)
In 2012 I founded a company. I moved assets in 2011. And I did a contractual work and security work. I taught the CSU until 2014. The CSU trains the police and the military.
From 2010 to 2013 I worked for both gaming companies and the police. Both are interested in risks. It’s not that it is all about security, but risks are part of it.
I had a farm, more precisely, a ranch, in the middle of nowhere. No people around you, within a radius of 1 km. I could work without a distraction. But I sold them to finance one of the companies and other assets. I loved this place, but my work is going on.
Christophbergmann [10:28 am]
Why did you leave Bitcoin 2010?
Vlad2vlad [10:38 am]
I was in fighting, one by one, to continue my work.
[10:39]https: // www.ComCourts.gov.Au/File/Federal/P/Syg746/2010/Actions
I don’t want people to follow me. I want people to read and think. I want you to ask and check. Don’t take my word, or, when it comes to someone from anyone. And, more important, don’t look at anything in the past that you can make a yardstick.
At this point I started to be disappointed. I asked questions and wanted to check, but instead of answering me, he preached to me that I should be a free spirit. I felt a little like with Scientology.
Vlad2vlad [10:48 am]
In 2003 I had a fight with a 5% shareholder. My first wife did a thing with him because she wanted me to be at home more often. I ended in a 11 -year court trial. I won him.
[10:49]Here is what you can tell them all ..
If you need it that I am Satoshi to do what I say and not, because of the idea that I present, but because of the nature of my identity, then you are all lost!
If you can’t think for yourself, then everything was free.
… everything is good and right what he says. But I still want to check and I want to know what Bitcoin has done with the life of Satoshi. The more he throws in general places instead of giving Satoshi details, the less I think that Craig Stephen Wright is really Satoshi.
If you only judge based on identity, based on a chosen authority, then you are sheeple (English, suitcase word from sheep – sheep – and people – people) and deserve what you get.
Yawn.
But what kind of cryptographers!
[10:52]https: // News.ycombinator.com/item?id = 10702001
List of “8 2 9 10 11”, which is the list to generate GnupG, one year (commit e50cac1d848d332c4dbf49d5f705d3cbbf074ba1) according to the key.
And that was written while I write, not as a paid piece, but as I do it, and I was the author of this basic paper.
And it was validated independently.
It’s easy and who really checks it?
Gmax says it and it is law.
Oh man. What times. Now even Satoshi starts with the blocksize dispute and core and so on … after all, he becomes more philosophical again:
[10:52]Think. Understand that code is a tool and that we humans can use tools. But it is not a panacea and can’t solve anything for yourself.
There is no kind of non-reputation. That was said over and over again by those who are deep in cryptography. And yet, it is a concept that does not exist.
We live in a world of people. Code is a tool, it helps us to control our fate if we use it well, but it does not remove the need for controls and it will never remove the need to think.
I can sign and then my key is stolen. I can hand over the key to someone else. These are well-established principles. In court it is always possible to deny.
I learned that on the hard path. In my case I was rejected when I argued that electronic proof was supported by my case. I learned in 2004 that the law was a law when I argued that evidence from source information about you can be used and falsified, and that it is not always possible to see a key as evidence.
And so it goes on. Craig Wright – if he is – talks in general places or tells experiences that have nothing to do with Bitcoin. Yawn. At this point I am relatively certain that he is trying to wrap a finger with a technology speaker and general places.
Christophbergmann [11:00 am]
Did you sleep at that time? You had a company, a family, these processes, and you developed Bitcoin. Works a lot for a single person.
Vlad2vlad [11:01 am]
… Theft of keys is a means of having access to keys, and what it proves is that you have a key. Any transaction can be withdrawn. If you think that this is not the case, look at how you deal with them, carry your weapons. Taxes are drawn in, but try and avoid violence. Try it logically.
I have a company. I have a family and I am currently enrolled for a master course. When I finish this title, I start another PhD.
At that time I went to conferences, I can no longer do that.
I am a full student. I don’t take any money for it. I pay it myself. No scholarship. My choice.
So why is that an issue for so many people? I love to learn and acquire knowledge.
At this point I started again to get bored a little. Lots of blah, but little to eat.
Christophbergmann [11:11 am]
Makes you sad that you left Bitcoin in 2010? Was it a mistake?
Vlad2vlad [11:15 am]
What I achieve … I don’t get anything when I prove that I am Satoshi. My family does not achieve anything. We will have to move again.
I don’t get any money and I don’t want fame.
[11:17]I didn’t leave Bitcoin. Gavin remained and was commissioned to manage the code with the others. That is not left.
Christophbergmann [11:18 am]
How would you call it instead?
Vlad2vlad [11:23 am]
I stopped reacting to the trolls. The basic protocol was and is fine.
Christophbergmann [11:42]
Why did you not sign a message publicly?
vlad2vlad [11:43 am]
Continuation of the last answer: What we need is easy, it is competition. No central authority. No 1984 Doublespeak Committee, but open and free competition.
This means that people are allowed to build on the base protocol. That the miners decide. If people don’t like that, they can convince the miners or, better, in Hash Power.
And so forth. We are in the current Bitcoin policy again, whether I want it or not. I skip a few lines.
vlad2vlad [11:49 am]
Reply to your last question about signing a message:
[11:49]Original!
Markets are the answer, free, open competition. Not Satoshi on his damn mold. Markets!
Christophbergmann [11:53 am]
Something else … you are now chief scientists at Nchain, right?
Vlad2vlad [12:02 pm]
Yes. But I won’t discuss anything about the company. The others will. I already say too much and can already get trouble. I am not a CEO for good reason. I am good in math and code, I can write answers that are intelligent and serious and are not read by anyone, but when it comes to politics and imagination, I only dig my own pit.
For example, the interview is inserted at this point. It was surprisingly uninteresting.
