Australian Craig Wright has not provided the promised evidence that it was he who created Bitcoin.
The businessman, who claimed that he is the inventor of Bitcoin, refused to promise to show new “proof” in support of his claim.
Australian Craig Wright promised to transfer some of their virtual currency from one of her early address blocks that, according to observers, could only be the Creator of the technology.
This refusal caused a warning that previous testimony, which he published were fraudulent.
Earlier in the week, the Aussie Craig Wright publicly admitted that he is the Creator of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
His confession he made in an interview with three publications – the BBC, GQ and the Economist.
The Creator of bitcoin is believed a man named Satoshi Nakamoto. For a long time journalists were trying to find someone who is hiding under this pseudonym.
Incredible proof
On Monday, the Australian has published what he called proof of key possession Satoshi, describing the process leading to the creation of a “digital signature”.
Soon, however, this claim is denied, a group of researchers on security, which linked the signature with early transaction Bitcoin Satoshi that you can find through a search engine.
After that Mr. Wright promised to transfer part of the bitcoin “block 9”, using the private key, which could only have Satoshi Nakamoto – a pseudonym used by a developer or group of developers of cryptocurrency.
Mr. Wright has apologized for refusing to provide a new proof.
“I believed I could leave the years of anonymity and hiding behind, but when the events took place this week, and I was prepared to publish evidence of access keys early years, I broke down. I don’t have enough courage, I can’t,” he wrote in the blog.
Craig Wright said that he started this attack, and when the first accusations were refuted, appeared new.
A true Creator?
Earlier in support of Dr. Wright as the Creator of Bitcoin made the two leaders of the Bitcoin Foundation – the organization that is supposed to protect and promote the virtual currency.
Gavin Andersen and Jon Matonis allegedly received from Mr. Wright’s other evidence that he is the Creator of Bitcoin.
In his latest blog, he apologized to them.
“I know that this weakness will hurt those who have supported me. Can only hope that the honor and honesty of these two gentlemen aren’t ruined by my actions. They were not misled, but now the world would believe in it. I can only say – sorry. And goodbye,” wrote Dr. Wright.
Mr. Matonis wrote on Twitter that “there is no other Satoshi”.
The Origin Of Bitcoin
Many publications were published investigations in which different people called the creators of bitcoins.
Craig Wright decided to end the speculation, promising to publish information, which should confirm that he is the Creator of bitcoin.
Craig Wright apologized and wrote “goodbye”
He also explained that in creating the cryptocurrency he was helped by a large team of developers.
In December last year, the magazines Wired and Gizmodo has published an investigation, in which Mr. Wright called the Creator of bitcoin.
After this, Australian authorities have searched his home. He said that the searches were linked to an investigation concerning the payment of taxes.
Now with bitcoin you can pay for many goods and services on the Internet. In circulation – approximately 15.5 million bitcoins.
One bitcoin is worth about $ 449.
Authorities in many countries treat bitcoin with suspicion. Among other things, I suspect that they can be used in the shadow economy.
