Gavin has stated many times that he did not believe CSW was satoshi. It never seems to be good enough for the core developers that constantly slander him. This latest round of harassment caused him to amend an old blog post but I think he really just wants to be left alone. He did a lot of great things for Bitcoin, then gave up his power and left. Still, for some reason people think they’re entitled to more from him. I feel bad for him, as he’s been a constant target by developers that will never reach his level of contributions to Bitcoin.
It might be that he said it many times but I have only seen this blog post and the posts that he made endorsing CSW. I get he might want to be left alone and I respect that. I have nothing personal against him I would like to see him come out once and for all and say that CSW should not be trusted and own up to his mistakes. Changing a old blog post looks like you are hiding your tracks instead of coming out and announcing to the public what happened and why he thought he could trust CSW.  The NDA would be admissible because Gavin is getting attacked and slander (if he does have a nda) and can appeal a nda but a nda is just for ideas that have not been disclosed Gavin does not have to talk about the specific reason he just needs to come out and denounce CSW more strongly. No Nda in the world will stop you from doing that it stops you talking about previous dealings but he does not have to talk about that or could say that he cannot talk about it which would mean the same thing and would not get him in trouble. I refuse to believe that Gavin who is smart would get tied up in a nda by Craig.
