Craig Wright never signed and can't prove he's Satoshi?

They lied to you!

He did sign it, on multiple occasions, but only privatel.🧶

Gavin Andresen, in particular, witnessed the signing with a highly contesting and purposeful mindset as he knew what was at stake. After witnessing the first signature, he even went on to request an even more stringent condition for signing. After Wright rejected the idea of signing on Andresen’s own laptop computer for privacy and security reasons, a second signature was done using a completely new laptop computer bought at a store on that day, on the spot, delivered in manufacturer-sealed condition to Andresen. Andresen was completely satisfied and publicly testified for Wright being Satoshi.

It should also be noted that Andresen’s case carries an exceptional amount of weight, and his conviction had a strong additional support. Andresen was arguably the most important individual in the Bitcoin development community other than Satoshi himself. He was the lead Bitcoin developer in the earliest years of Bitcoin and also the founder of Bitcoin Foundation. While Satoshi was anonymous, the two men had extensive private interactions and communications. To prove to Andresen, Wright provided him numerous pieces of unique and important historical knowledge of the Satoshi-Andresen interaction during the early days of Bitcoin, the kind of knowledge that Andresen was completely certain that only Satoshi would have. This is more important than a signature. Unique knowledge can be strong evidence.

Andresen not only gave public testimonies that he was convinced that Wright was Satoshi, but also subsequently testified for the same under oath in a legal deposition, which was presented to the court.

While Andresen himself later expressed dismay over Wright’s failure to provide signature proof publicly, he never retracted his testimony. The crypto community completely distorted his expression of dismay to mislead people into believing that Andresen had retracted his testimony. The straight and verifiable fact is that he never did. Only people who superficially follow propaganda believe or are under an impression that he did.

For reasons quite understandable given the extreme adversarial and oppressive anti-Wright environment that formed subsequently, Andresen has chosen to keep a low-key.

Despite all the evidence, those who take a presumptive position that Wright could not be Satoshi have found it not difficult to imagine reasons to doubt or discredit these private signatures. They therefore demand some kind of a public signing.

"I believe Craig Steven Wright is the person who invented #Bitcoin. I was flown to London to meet Dr. Wright a couple of weeks ago, after an initial email conversation convinced me that there was a very good chance he was the same person I’d communicated with in 2010 and early 2011. After spending time with him I am convinced beyond a reasonable doubt: Craig Wright is Satoshi." Gavin Andresen “Right hand of Satoshi”
