Craig in February 2019 tweeted out a paper of his supposedly called BLACKNET. Apparently, it was supposed to prove that his paper matches the Bitcoin whitepaper.
However, Satoshi released an early draft of the bitcoin whitepaper. Note, however, that his blacknet paper contains all the corrections from the early draft to the final bitcoin whitepaper. Note that there is nothing in the Blacknet paper that matches anything from the original draft, but matches everything from the final paper.
I meant to say that there is nothing in the Blacknet paper that matches words in the old draft but not the final paper.

How long did it take you to figure this one out user? Take a moment and just google your findings and you'll see several people already found this. Congrats on being late to the party but that's all your gettin

All three make up Satoshi. Dave died. Nick is staying tf away from all the drama. His proof of keys campaign wasn't just about January 2019 and HitBTC it was a subtle reference to Craig getting the tulip trust keys in 2020. 2020 when the MtGox reparations will be unloaded. 2020 when the reward is halved.
I had a 1:1 safety hedge with BSV to BTC but now it's a 2:1 hedge.

BSV supporter. I've looked into this and it does seem pretty sketchy. However, I haven't been able to verify the documents. I have not seen the original email. It seems scrubbed. I have not verified the email's metadata. I have not found a full copy of the attachment of the whitepaper draft, only screenshots. I have also not seen the original blacknet paper. I have not seen official verification that it was submitted to the Austrailian government.
Given the stakes, the forgery and outright lies have been prevalent on both sides (Maxwell claiming the PGP signature was impossible when it clearly was and CSW admitting to purposfully messing with his own blog posts for convulted 4dchessmanship). This means that I really need to verify the evidence for myself before letting any rumour effect my judgement of the situation and I have not had the opportunity yet. If anyone has copies (with proof of validity) of the evidence in this situation, please post.
Perhaps he is trying to throw people off here as well? But wouldn't a person pretending to be Satoshi also just say that? I don't know anymore. I am not going to be a blind follower of anyone and simply follow the evidence. Wherever the evidence points to, I will follow. If that points to Craig being Satoshi, I will believe Craig is Satoshi. If not, then I won't believe it.
Either way, Craig 100% for sure knows whether he is Satoshi or not. And Satoshi, whether he's Craig or not Craig, knows or knew too.

>CSW admitting to purposfully messing with his own blog posts aka, caught scammer admits scamming. ergo, hes a scammer

UPDATE from OP (me).
I said "Apparently, it was supposed to prove that his paper matches the Bitcoin whitepaper." I used the word apparently since that is what was claimed. I haven't seen his original tweet and I cannot seem to access it since his account is no more.
In one of his comments he says that his intention is not to prove he is Satoshi but rather for the best ideas and what works the best win. Capitalism in action.
Now I guess it's your call as to whether someone pretending to be Satoshi would say that anyways or someone who actually is Satoshi wants to throw people off thinking for sure it's him.
