KLF Return After 23 Years !!!!!

That was entertaining to watch... Back in my high school and college days I was a big fan of them. I had the White Room and Chill Out on CD... The latter being one of my favorite ambient albums. I don't really understand the connection to Satoshi, unless you think of those two guys in Banksy (pretty sure its actually one of the Massive Attack guys -- the massive attack guy), but it was a good trip down memory lane.

Re-read : https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/read-the-first-chapter-of-the-klfs-bonkers-new-book-2023-a-trilogy/

It is full of Bitcoin references ... and remember that "The KLF have now left the building" ...

EDIT1: See my sig. or youtube for 'KLF at the Barbican 2K' NSFW. Bitcoin is almost the equivalent of Brass Band Music, marching along like The Pied Piper ...

... "History ... Brass bands were a response to industrialisation, which produced a large working class population, technological advances in instrument design, and the mass production to manufacture and distribute the instruments." ... Wink

Back to the topic (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy / 42 references in the paper) ... "The White Room" ... The Total Perspective Vortex ...

" You don't use keys to prove identity. Keys only prove access to keys. I find it remarkable how many so called security "experts" fail at this most basic of points.

A cryptographic key cannot prove identity. It only proves knowledge of the key and that is distinct from identity. "

...

True, but ... https://youtu.be/hl1nPssCL1E and https://youtu.be/lhMV37a7xmY

So, still ... Not your keys. Not your coins. (or just no access yet?!?).

Remember that CSW told everyone that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, then he failed to Sign any message as definitive proof, then he said he was just part of Satoshi, then he told Roger Ver in a more recent (and threatening) email (made public via twitter) that he is Satoshi (again!).

He also posted a tweet in an attempt to explain his own apparent 'God complex', in regards to this, as follows ...

In other words, CSW expects us to believe that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, because he tells us that he is and he expects that no one can prove otherwise...

...

@nutildah - Your response is great! It actually helps to clarify what I'm trying to present ...

'Satoshi Nakamoto', as a group of people or a single individual, have cultural / life experiences which would of influenced their (collective?) work on Bitcoin.

Essentially we can only ever know 7 things ... Who? When? Where? What? Which? Why? and How? ...

Examples ... Why does Bitcoin use an MIT license for the software? Did familiar / cultural experiences influence this choice? ...

1 - We know that Bitcoin (Cryptocurrency) has a history of development long before 2008 ...

2 - Most people assume that Lazzlo wanted to buy Pizza's for Bitcoin ... entirely under his own steam ... perhaps not so ...

"What is Bitcoins value backed by?

Bitcoin is valued for the things it can be exchanged to, just like all the traditional paper currencies are.

When the first user publicly announces that he will make a pizza for anyone who gives him enough Bitcoins, then he can use Bitcoins as payment to some extent - as much as people want pizza and trust his announcement. A pizza-eating hairdresser who trusts him as a friend might then announce that she starts accepting Bitcoins as payment for fancy haircuts, and the value of the Bitcoin would be higher - now it would be backed by pizzas ''and'' haircuts. When Bitcoins have become accepted widely enough, he could retire from his pizza business and still be able to use his Bitcoin-savings."

Predates Lazlo's request. Fact. Oh, and fancy haircuts to!

I assert the Pizza is akin to Pablo's message, a hidden message in a song ...

   [Golden Dawn is 7:18, silence runs 7:19-8:20, then 8:21-
   9:37 (end) is what a (Select) review called 'Pablo's
   Message', a fellow leaving a message on an answering
   machine]

- https://youtu.be/LSGDEmS10yc?t=561 ... "and you've over done the pizza" ...

All a bit weird isn't it. Crazy coincidences. Yes us humans will see patterns where there are none whatsoever, but the really interesting thing about any Mythopia is that one or more of these said Myth's will likely carry some (cultural) truth or influence.

- https://youtu.be/FFvvLuomw0Y ... Same album ... notice how the guy on the 'e-Bango' does not really move. He just sits, he just 'HODL'S' ...

This is a Satoshi trait ?

Here is a great example of this established mindset experience of an original cypherpunk, although I think we can safely assert that Satoshi Nakamoto is not Joey Allegra ...

The Money Machine

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto ? Suspects, frauds and conspiracies on bitcointalk

...

The PM's and text chats I shared with Satoshi (when he/she/they) were on this forum, made me believe that Satoshi was a single individual, if this is the case then I'd simply like to know that nothing untoward has happened. We shouldn't take kindly to liers, imposters or frauds.
