About two years ago more than a hundred early day miners signed a message from their corresponding addresses calling Craig Wright (aka faketoshi) a liar and a scammer. You can find the addresses and their signatures in this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5250960.0
Yes, that was exactly what I did too. Checked some addresses in the list, but the oldest I found was from December 2009. The signature in the example above is from January 2009. Years ago there was someone here on bitcointalk who mined block ~2000 and that was the oldest what was known.

Now this signature from January 2009  Huh  Maybe someone knows more?

That's true all those addresses which singed that message related to Craig Wright were from December 2009. However this particular address probably created on 19 January 2009 and remember Satoshi mined genesis block on Jan Jan 03, 2009 but the 1st block was mined on Jan 09, 2009, that means this particular address was created just 10 days after bitcoin was launched publicly.
