From the [International Business Times]*http://www.ibtimes.com/craig-wright-reportedly-set-prove-he-bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-2348687):
April 5 was Satoshi Nakamoto's birthday. The mysterious founder of bitcoin was born on this day in 1975, according to an online profile, meaning Tuesday would have been his 41st birthday. And yet according to a report in Financial Times, the elusive bitcoin creator is planning to reveal his identity once and for all.
In December, both Wired and Gizmodo identified Australian cryptocurrency expert Craig Wright as the actual person behind the Nakamoto identity. The investigations, based on the same set of leaked documents, concluded that Wright either is the same person as Nakamoto or he's the mastermind of a clever hoax designed to lead people to believe he's Nakamoto.
Now, according to sources speaking to FT, Wright has made "conditional approaches" to media organizations and other institutions to brief them on an "big reveal" where Wright claims he will finally prove conclusively that he is Nakamoto by performing a "cryptographic miracle."
The date for the big reveal is supposed to be some time between April 7 and April 14, with media being offered the inside story of Wright's life ahead of a public demonstration and press conference.
The claim that Wright is Nakamoto was widely debunked as quickly as it was made public, with Wired admitting that it may have been the victim of an elaborate hoax. An analysis of Wright's writing carried out exclusively for International Business Times also indicated that Wright was not Nakamoto when it was compared with work known to be written by the bitcoin creator.
However, sources speaking to FT claim some senior figures within the bitcoin community are apparently impressed with Wright's current efforts to prove his claim. Jon Matonis, a founding member of the Bitcoin Foundation, confirmed he has been in touch with someone in relation to this matter: "I have been contacted by a private group, and I am under a strict [nondisclosure agreement] and press embargo during due diligence phase."
Not everyone will be as easily convinced. Gavin Andresen, one of the core developers of bitcoin and once bitcoin's chief scientist, said he would need a lot of proof to believe Wright is the creator of bitcoin, and warned that a lot of the "evidence" Wright may produce could be falsified.
The potential reveal is not igniting much interest within the bitcoin community on Reddit or on the official Bitcoin Forum -- with many of those interested in the cryptocurency experiencing fatigue related to the latest "exposé" of Nakamoto's identity.
Wright has not been seen since the revelations in December, after which his home in Australia was raided by the Australian tax authorities, who claimed it was not in relation to his links to bitcoin. Ultimately Andresen told FT he would "want to see a conversation about technical stuff, ideally via email, so I can see if it feels like the same person I communicated with in 2010."
Wright -- fuckboi, or the genuine Satoshi? What do you think?
He doesn't need to perform a 'cryptographic miracle'. Just sign something with satoshis key or move some of the first mined coins around.
I'm waiting...
