Bitcoin 'creator' backs out of Satoshi coin move 'proof'

This whole "controversy" is incredibly boring. The real Satoshi would be able to prove it easily. Prove it, or STFU and we can move on from the who is Satoshi mystery?

It's not that boring at all. How did he smoke and mirror two of the best Bitcoin devs on the planet?

At worst, it's an interesting discussion of a con man running into a technical wall.

Matonis is not a Bitcoin developer or a person of much technical merit, if that was one of the two you referred to. Good question about Gavin, though.

Ah - you're correct, he seems to be an economist. I incorrectly assumed someone so intimately involved w/ Bitcoin for so long must be a cryptographer.
