11 minutes, 2 points, and its not on any of the pages.. Hmm... Was this put into high gravity?



Jason Livingood: "This is a web notification system that presents an overlay service message for non-TLS sessions. Documented in RFC 6108 & in place for many years - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6108 . In this case the alert informs customer of need to upgrade an end of life device."

Yeah, cuz we're all supposed to know about rfc6108.. Guess I have some catching up to do on "Internet Engineering".


I'm excited for another Weinstein ensemble, but we'll have wait http://variety.com/2017/film/news/the-current-war-postponed-... :-)



Finance is centralized around London so it makes more sense. Extradition requires a lot of work, coordination, and tax payer money.


The transcript is off. And biased (Co-author of the http://Bitcoin.org developer documentation)

It excludes his self correction.

"distributed central currency"


Merely using the word "central" to describe Bitcoin betrays that he hasn't even the faintest clue what it is or how it works.


CoinGeek is either run by or paid for by Craig Wright.

Prove it.

Known fraud and scammer

Evidence?

"And for all my searching, I can't find any evidence that CW was actually convicted of any fraud or taxation crimes, despite everyone yelling from the tree tops that he's a scammer and a fraud." [0]

He has recently threatened to sue anyone who questions his claims

You are mistaken. He's not suing anyone who questions his claims. He can sue for libel.

Why was this flagged?


Improper investigation by the ATO wasn't comfortable so they jumped islands.

No customers, just investments.

Before they were deleted there were videos of pieces of the equipment.


There wasn't a single video of a datacenter or server racks instead there were videos of Craig receiving shipments of xeon phi cards (as in 1 or 2 not dozens or hundreds) and constructing a xeon phi based desktop computer. He also points to a box saying it's full of infiniband cards and xeon phi cards (doesn't open it).

In Craig Wright's supercomputing class, students are given access to a single node of the purported supercomputer. The only evidence of the supercomputer ever existing is on the green500 list.

If it was an improper investigation then fight it in court and release a public statement on the company's site like a normal company. Nuking your web presence and hiding in another continent is not exactly normal behavior.


Shipments of xeon phi represents the supercomputer. The desktop machines loaded with them is for developers. He had 3 phase going into his private residential area home. In an already 230v country, means a LOT of power...

The evidence weighs with the expenditure of large investments.

The court fights will probably come as evidenced by a segment in his recent public talk. Especially in countries with libel laws. Court costs a lot of time and money which could be used for better things.


Shipments of 1 or 2 xeon phis constitutes a supercomputer? Pointing to a box and saying it's full of infinibands and xeon phis means that we should believe they are full of them? If this guy is one thing he's definitely not modest, if those boxes really were full of expensive computer parts he would show them.

At every turn in this saga of signings, supercomputers, and credentials there's always something sketchy going on. At some point you can no longer accept what this guy says at face value.

There were racks too.

The small stuff you probably saw is for developers.

I find it more likely a technology person would spend a lot money than saving it. If spending millions we are talking DIY supercomputer territory.

Name one thing about bitcoin that isn't sketchy.
