Drcraigwright.net in the blog, which opened a few days ago with the aim of creating a forum on cryptocurrency, a farewell message where Wright apologizes for not having the “courage” to move forward appears. “I thought I could leave behind years of anonymity and hide, but, as events this week unfolded and I was preparing to publish test access to the first key, I fell apart. I do not have the courage. I can not “reads the statement.
” When the rumors started, my qualifications and my personality was attacked. When these charges were proved false, began others. Now I know I’m not strong enough to this “ adds
.
Wright, supposedly for years shielded himself behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, also apologizes to two colleagues from the Bitcoin Foundation endorsed their claims of authorship.

“I hope your honor and credibility not remain irreparably tolling for my actions. They were not fooled, but I know the world will never believe it. I can only say I’m sorry. And goodbye, “he concludes.
What did he do so far Wright? ” What made Wright was sign a message with cryptographic keys that were originally used Nakamoto in the past but it could well be an expert forger or even have obtained credentials Nakamoto. A proof for the community would be that Wright ‘move’ any of the US $ 450 million in Bitcoin you possess that are static since undermined for years, “said Sebastian Serrano, CEO and co-founder of crushed stone, the Argentina virtual wallet bitcoins, a minutouno.com.
Born in Brisbane in 1970, Wright was identified Monday through your blog and told several British media, including the string BBC as Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin, ending years of speculation.

After breaking his anonymity, Wright presented on his blog a series of tests of his own, which, however, were questioned by some experts in cybersecurity.
So promised disseminate a final test, which consisted of moving bitcoines of one of the blocks transaction initials, something that supposedly could only make the real founder by a private key.

Anyway, Wright, an academic with several university degrees, is now recanted proceed with the verification process, which remains valid question about the Bitcoin system.
Your colleague Jon Matonis continued to support him, saying on Twitter that “no other Satoshi” .
Speaking to BBC Garrick Hileman, historian Center Economics alternative Cambridge, noted that many of the skeptics about the identity of Nakamoto “do not want to be convinced,” because the character “was mythologized”.
However, he added that, although there will be those who believe Wright and those without, in his opinion “ there are still more questions than answers ” on the origin of the currency and its operating system.
