Quite clearly Satoshi Nakamoto placed the Key on bitcoin.org

Whilst historical reference might be nice to, I will reiterate what I said in the OP ...

"powers that be", put the goddamn PGP Key back on bitcoin.org!

It is a Public Key that was/is already in Public Space.

If someone came back now using Satoshi's PGP keys, there would be a much bigger controversy where everyone argues about if Satoshi's PGP keys have been stolen, and someone is using them to fake being Satoshi (Craig Wrong proved that people are interested in doing exactly this)

So what is your point, @BitcoinFX?

The point to make is not mine.

Didn't you read the satoshi post from the OP ?

The genuine Satoshi Nakamoto has a PGP Key, here:

For future reference, here's my public key. It's the same one that's been there since the bitcoin.org site first went up in 2008. Grab it now in case you need it later.

The order of things I would want satoshi to sign to 'prove' identity would be ...

1. The PGP Key.
2. The Genesis Block and/or block 1,2 etc.,
3. The block with the outgoing transaction to Hal Finney.
4. Then Login to either ning / P2P foundation account, forum account login and sourceforge login.
5. Old communications and being able to recall 'private' conversations etc.,

As far as I know, the PGP key has never been signed or in fact been used to sign anything, whatsoever.

This indicates to me that the Key is still to be 'trusted'.

The GMX email service did not incorporate encryption in the web service back then.

So, in all likely hood this PGP key was generated on the very same machine that satoshi used to build and compile early Bitcoin (BTC) wallet releases.
