Re: Craig Wright relents aka Satoshi (air quotes) in Public Apology!
I doubt that you don't have anything against them. Your original comment was clearly seeking to instigate and make something into bigger than it actually is. You are lying.
You're taking things way out of context. I have attempted to do no such thing, nor am I lying at this very moment (I have never had a single interaction with Gavin nor Matonis, I believe). Keep in mind that a lot of those articles written by the media mentioned both Matonis and Andersen (as an argument to make their 'case' more 'credible').Also, they have not been conned *easily*. Craig offered them proof none of us have seen, in a manner which would have been quite difficult to fake. You can say it was easy, but that would be a lie. JVP also believes Craig is Satoshi based on having met him before in 2005. There is actually a *lot* of anecdotal evidence which has not been explained or cleared up, and apparently the email conversations Craig had with them were extremely convincing. That is something that is extremely difficult to fake - coming off as being the exact same person as they talked to 5 years ago, just as a general feeling.
This is not factual evidence; without cryptographic proof (which would be a nice starting point) these are just stories.-snip-
Core has been wanting to take away Gavin's commit access for a long time. They used this as a convenient excuse to do so and now you are whitewashing the whole thing.
The rest is pretty much useless and does not need to be commented independently. This is just an attempt to defend Gavin and try to make Core look evil. Core has been wanting to take away Gavin's commit access for a long time. They used this as a convenient excuse to do so and now you are whitewashing the whole thing.
Besides, even if we ignore everything, Gavin does not need to have commit access anymore. While I do not understand the exact 'process' which was used to determine the set of people who will have commit access, Gavin is no longer a part of them. People who have stopped contributing to the project should not retain access.
