The Australian businessman Craig Wright has been identified today as Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, a digital currency. According to the BBC, Craig has not only demonstrated its version, but rather the Bitcoin team also would have confirmed it.

In December of last year, both Wired and Gizmodo identified the Australian crypto-currency expert Craig Wright as the real person behind the identity Nakamoto. However, investigations, based on the same set of leaked documents, came to the conclusion that Wright is the same person as Nakamoto or he is the intellectual author of a clever hoax.

The confession of Wright to several media (BBC, The Economist and GQ) who has presented technical tests of its initiative, has put an end to years of speculation about the origins of this system of exchange of digital money.

At the meeting with the BBC, Mr Wright has digitally signed messages using cryptographic keys created during the early days of the development of Bitcoin. The keys are inextricably linked to blocks of bitcoins who know that its have been created or “extracted” by Satoshi Nakamoto.

“These are the blocks used to send 10 bitcoins to Hal Finney in January 2009 as the first bitcoin transaction,” said Wright during his show.

According to Wright, the renowned cryptographer Hal Finney was one of the engineers who helped convert the ideas of Mr. Wright in the Bitcoin Protocol.

However, the doubt remains, and one of the media who witnessed the demonstration of Mr. Wright, remains skeptical regarding this. According to The Economist, no one, not even his closest aides, met once Mr. Nakamato in person. Just communicate with him via email. They also consider that there are still some questions unanswered.

“Our conclusion is that Mr Wright could well be Mr Nakamoto, but that important questions remain. Indeed, it may never be possible to establish beyond reasonable doubt who really created bitcoin.” – The Economist.

The motivation to reveal his true identity is because to his desire to put an end to speculations and avoid so will do harm to others.

Despite all, Wright hopes that, after his confession, he can live quiet away from the figure of “father” of the bitcoin’s. “I don’t want to be the public face of nothing”, pointed out, at the time, which has recognized that “I would have preferred not to do so”.

He also claims that he wished to move away from fame. “I don’t want worship; I just want that everybody let me alone”. Words that himself cited to 3 major media to perform their show, and is inconsistent with his posture because has been claiming authorship of the Bitcoin technology for several months, was making clear that anonymity is the last thing he really want to.

According to some estimates, Mr. Nakamoto has 1 million of bitcoins with an approximate value of $450 million at current exchange, but they have never been touched.

One of the more compelling proofs that Mr Wright can carry out to demonstrate that it is Satoshi Nakamoto, it could be the mobilization of some of these Bitcoin, that way confirm of a clear figuration to be who says it is.

You believe that Mr Wright really is Satoshi Nakamoto? Some people believe that evidence presented is not sufficient to relate it to the creator of the Bitcoin. Andrew Quentson author of the middle of news cointelegraph has an opinion about the subject.
