Today someone showed me an INCREDIBLE piece of evidence that #CraigWright is Satoshi.
This image, sourced from metanet-icu was shared with me.
It appears to be one of Satoshi’s earliest emails to Hal Finney, screen grabbed by Craig when he wrote it.
But, on closer inspection all is not as it seems.
This email was made public by journalist and can be found in a pdf of lots of emails from Satoshi to Hal Finney spanning 10-24 Jan 2009.
I’m not making any claim whether these are or are not
But, the most glaring and immediate problem with the metanet-icu screenshot of the draft email is in the top right hand corner of the image, where the user’s membership expires on 13th of March 2019.
Anonymousspeech is a paid service. The web archive of their product page shows that going back to the earliest snapshots they have never offered a package that lasts more than 2 years.
So the earliest this screenshot could have been made was March
But there’s something else strange about this image as well, and that’s down in the bottom left hand corner.
Anonymousspeech allows a maximum of 50000 characters in an email and has a counter of spare chars at the bottom.
This email has 48932 chars left.
