Ok, so I'm willing to admit that he might be Satoshi.

But he's still a fraud. I think.

fuck.

Connection: we want easy connectivity, easy use. We want people to be attracted to using it because it is safe and secure and simple. And flow: we want an exchange of value, all those things that make economics work.

We want to remove the block cap; we want to have a non-segwit pool---and we're going to announce that too. We're going to create a pool that will not run segwit. [Audience applause.] We will build up a non-segwit pool and we will fund it, and if we see segwit transactions, we'll reject them. That simple.

So, I talked about a cartel. I'm not going to run the cartel, but we're going to reject segwit transactions. So if someone else runs it, I don't care. But I don't accept segwit; I'm not going to. And we're going build a pool that doesn't do that. And anyone who wants to join in that, great.

If we see segwit, we'll reject it. Out of hand. Full stop. And we can do that---you advertise both parts of the chain, so we will watch for segwit transactions (not pay-to-script-hash generally---segwit) and anything segwit, bye-bye. Which means you're slower. Because we will take at least 20% of the market, and we will do that, and we will build that pool, and it's coming very soon, and if you want to be slower, run segwit.

[Audience question, hard to hear, "Will that require a hard fork..."]

I don't need to include it [segwit]. I don't to hard fork. I, as a miner, choose. People don't choose what I do as a miner. I can reject a block any time I want. It is about time that the miners started realizing their role in this industry. The miners set the rules. Not every user. Not everyone out there.

AN AUGUST 2008 POST ON WRIGHT’S BLOG, MONTHS BEFORE THE NOVEMBER 2008 INTRODUCTION OF THE BITCOIN WHITEPAPER ON A CRYPTOGRAPHY MAILING LIST. IT MENTIONS HIS INTENTION TO RELEASE A “CRYPTOCURRENCY PAPER,” AND REFERENCES “TRIPLE ENTRY ACCOUNTING,” THE TITLE OF A 2005 PAPER BY FINANCIAL CRYPTOGRAPHER IAN GRIGG THAT OUTLINES SEVERAL BITCOIN-LIKE IDEAS.

A POST ON THE SAME BLOG FROM NOVEMBER, 2008. IT INCLUDES A REQUEST THAT READERS WHO WANT TO GET IN TOUCH ENCRYPT THEIR MESSAGES TO HIM USING A PGP PUBLIC KEY APPARENTLY LINKED TO SATOSHI NAKAMOTO. A PGP KEY IS A UNIQUE STRING OF CHARACTERS THAT ALLOWS A USER OF THAT ENCRYPTION SOFTWARE TO RECEIVE ENCRYPTED MESSAGES. THIS ONE, WHEN CHECKED AGAINST THE DATABASE OF THE MIT SERVER WHERE IT WAS STORED, IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EMAIL ADDRESS SATOSHIN@VISTOMAIL.COM, AN EMAIL ADDRESS VERY SIMILAR TO THE SATOSHI@VISTOMAIL.COM ADDRESS NAKAMOTO USED TO SEND THE WHITEPAPER INTRODUCING BITCOIN TO A CRYPTOGRAPHY MAILING LIST.
