His address is mine! Early miners used cryptographic principles to debunk Satoshi Nakamoto

An early Bitcoin (BTC) miner has signed a message with a private key corresponding to 145 addresses, admonishing "Craig Steven Wright is a fraud and a fake" in the message. These 145 addresses are the same as the ones provided by Craig Wright in court when he claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, making this message the strongest evidence of Craig Wright's deception.

The Ironclad Evidence Debunking Craig Wright's Lies

Craig Wright, who has always claimed to be the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, also known as "Fake Satoshi," seems to no longer be able to conceal his lies. This is because an early Bitcoin miner has released a message containing 145 addresses, 145 signatures, and amessage, which reads:

"Craig Steven Wright is a fraud, and a fake. He does not have the private keys used to sign this message.

The Lightning Network is a significant achievement. However, we need to continue working to increase on-chain capacity.

Unfortunately, the solution is not just to change a constant in the code or allow powerful participants to kick out others.

We are all Satoshi Nakamoto."

The 145 addresses contained in the message are the same as those provided by Craig Wright in the Tulip Trust lawsuit when he claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto. Why is this considered the most direct evidence debunking Craig Wright's lies? The reason lies in the principles of cryptography known as "asymmetric encryption." The anonymous miner used 145 private keys corresponding to the addresses to sign the message. You can verify its authenticity by entering the address, the corresponding signature, and the message into the Bitcoin signature tool Rein.

By actually using Rein's Bitcoin signature tool, it was found that the publisher did indeed sign this message with the private key corresponding to the wallet address. In other words, "the person who released this message is the true owner of these 145 addresses".

Is This Message from Satoshi Nakamoto?

Interestingly, this message bears some resemblance to amessage from Satoshi Nakamoto's email address in 2015:

"I am not Craig Wright. We are all Satoshi Nakamoto."

This raises the question: could the person who released this message be Satoshi Nakamoto himself? However, after BitMEX Research and other industry experts randomly sampled blocks mined by these addresses, it was discovered that these 145 addresses do not seem to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto.
