Craig Wright says he will move a coin from an early block in the next few days. The BBC says "that should convince many of the doubters". I say he should sign a message with both his PGP key and a Satoshi Bitcoin, and move some early coins (to my Bitcoin address). That would convince me.
You can give my senior butt 1 shiny bitcoin if he does it, but I'm too poor to return the favour if he doesn't.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36193006The man who has identified himself as the creator of Bitcoin plans to provide further proof to his claim.
Craig Wright's spokesman told the BBC that he would "move a coin from an early block" belonging to the crypto-currency's inventor "in the coming days".

This morning, I have managed to reach Jon Matonis, who is at a cryptocurrency event in Kenya. He remains absolutely convinced by Craig Wright but agrees that the blog hasn't helped his case.
"It needs to be amended because it's not conclusive for the general public. But that does not take away from what I saw in private," he explained.
As far as I can see it, if Dr Wright can move one of Satoshi's bitcoins - as promised - that should convince many of the doubters.
It would constitute proof that he is who he says he is - although one suspects that even then some will never believe his story.
Yeah, what's the likelihood that he moves some early coins
not mined definitively by Satoshi? And didn't he state previously that he couldn't move any coins because he had them tied up till 2020 in his trust fund? But I guess the two previous fraudulent proofs were mere accident, and this time we'll see genuine evidence. I can also sell anyone who believes this a perpetual-motion machine.
