Día 6 Juicio COPA vs WRIGHT
22 feb 2024
https://telegra.ph/D%C3%ADa-6-Juicio-COPA-vs-WRIGHT-02-13
Back in the mid 2010s, there were a bunch of us literally meeting Satoshi. I thought long & hard about what & why. Eventually I came up with Prometheus' goals:

1. preserve the legend
2. protect the people
3. get them back to work

It was the 1st that didn't ring well.

The legend of Satoshi was an amazing thing, a modern day, technophiliac version of Robin Hood, King Arthur, St George. Surely it should be preserved? Grown? Protected?

But even as I was thinking that, we didn't act for that - quite the reverse.

We invented phrases like "we are all Satoshi" from Spartacus, and "Satoshi is dead, long live Satoshi." We joined with the maxis to kill the papparazi outing, we collapsed the tent at the Big Reveal. We hid, we prevaricated, dissembled.

We did our best to deflate the legend.

Truth was, the legend had grown, consumed, mestastasized. When, allegedly, a Satoshi was revealed, it was no good. He was not the Satoshi they all wanted, and could never really could fit the shoes of the giant from a mere 5 years back.

The legend of Satoshi had so taken over the minds of our world that it is somewhat doubtful that any human could fit those shoes. As some evidence, nobody was ever found to do that, neither in the open nor hidden, and the one leading claimant was mostly dismissed with prejudice.

The legend of Satoshi, the Satoshi, had become a barrier. The burden, the holy grail. In danger of turning all into religious warriors, fighting for a cross or star or moon with little merit or understanding.

@lopp then is right to paraphrase the Buddist exortation:

"If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill the Buddha."

Kill the Satoshi and free yourself.

(NB, google the words to understand them.)

imo, Craig is trying to wrest the vision back from the BTCcore guys.

A mediados de la década de 2010, varios de nosotros conocimos literalmente a Satoshi. Pensé mucho y detenidamente sobre qué y por qué. Finalmente se me ocurrieron los objetivos de Prometheus:

1. preservar a la leyenda
2. proteger a las personas (que estuvieran detrás de pseudónimo)
3. hacer que volviera a trabajar

Fui el único que no sonó bien.

La leyenda de Satoshi era algo asombroso, una versión moderna y tecnófila de Robin Hood, el Rey Arturo y San Jorge. ¿Seguramente debería preservarse? ¿Aumentarse? ¿Protegerse?

Pero incluso mientras pensaba eso, no actuamos en consecuencia, sino todo lo contrario.

Inventamos frases como "todos somos Satoshi" de Spartacus y "Satoshi está muerto, larga vida a Satoshi". Nos unimos a los maxis para acabar con la salida de los papparazi, derribamos la carpa en el Big Reveal. Nos escondimos, prevaricamos, disimulamos.

Hicimos todo lo posible para desinflar la leyenda.

La verdad era que la leyenda había crecido, consumido, hecho metástasis. Cuando supuestamente se reveló un Satoshi, no sirvió de nada. Él no era el Satoshi que todos querían, y nunca podría encajar en los zapatos del gigante de hace apenas 5 años.

La leyenda de Satoshi se había apoderado tanto de las mentes de nuestro mundo que es algo dudoso, que algún ser humano pudiera calzar esos zapatos. Como prueba, nunca se encontró a nadie que hiciera eso, ni abiertamente ni en secreto, y el principal demandante fue desestimado en su mayor parte con prejuicios.

La leyenda de Satoshi, el Satoshi, se había convertido en una barrera. La carga, el santo grial. En peligro de convertir a todos en guerreros religiosos, luchando por una cruz, una estrella o una luna con poco mérito o comprensión.

@lopp entonces tiene razón al parafrasear la exortación budista:

"Si te encuentras con el Buda en el camino, mátalo".

Mata al Satoshi y libérate.

(NB, busque en Google las palabras para entenderlas).

En mi opinión, Craig está tratando de arrebatarle la visión a los chicos de BTC core.

Otro cuya declaración hubiera remado fuerte a favor de Craig
Law&courts...

Justice Mellor said that CSW is NOT the author of the Bitcoin White Paper.

AFAIK, there was no evidence presented to court either way. No alternate author, & no proof of the negative that CSW did not write the paper.

What was Justice Mellor's pre-ruling based on?

To state that CSW is NOT the author needs evidence to that point. CSW failed to prove that he is the one & COPA failed to prove that he isn't.

It's unproven... either way.

So why did Justice Mellor lean over his skis to say CSW isn't? Luckily we will read the full judgement.

...

hahaha... you overestimate the time I spend on the SN soap opera. Anyway, the judgement will be interesting.

...

1. I don't know my way around the code I wrote in 2008. Heck, I don't know my way around the code I wrote last week...
2. I used to ask a similar q in interviews. It's unsurprising that he fluffed it, I never heard anyone get it right.
3. yeah, seems clear to have ended in OO.

...

for what I know, JVP (Joseph Van Perling) has gone private, doesn't want to be involved with any of this any more.
...

lol... as someone who just wrote a paper in Latex, and then had that converted in to Word, and ... the point isn't on point.

Are we saying that there is no Latex plugin in OO? There is no way to convert between the formats? Only one person worked it?
...

Complicated question.

Craig is as Craig is. He's on the autistic spectrum. He doesn't do normal societal issues like others. But he knows a lot of stuff, often O(2) than his twitter detractors. Summed, he's a nightmare wrapped in a dilemma cuddled in a paradox.

...

The deal with Calvin looked ok to me, altho I'm not privy to it.

But can Calvin actually run a business based on such inputs, with 2 egos in play? Time has shown, no. So there is a missing element.

Introducing a 3rd new character as CEO turned nChain into a three body problem.

...
Predictably, it wasn't predictable, it blew.

nChain needs new face, remake, strategy, everything.

But back to your question - I saw no new evidence that said CSW was/n't in Satoshi team. I saw lots of evidence that Craig shouldn't be put on the witness stand, but that's passé.

...

COPA was a hard thing. This was (a) the trial that Craig wanted, (b) the trial he stood most to gain & muck things up, and (c) still not quite clear on the whole "I know the law" theory versus court realities.

And here we are...

...

Agreed, he had time & money, except for the unfortunate event of the switch from one law firm to another.

That said, I'd not put Craig on the stand. his lawyers have less <cof> choice, bc it's his case. Life's a bitch...

...

Let's be clear here: CSW found a nexus from crypto to IPv6 that I haven't seen anyone else understanding, intimating, thinking.

I have no idea whether he added support in Bitcoin, but I also know having added it in my own code that such a thing is not a hard test, it's soft.

...

Craig and some folks in IEEE had a deal to promote IPv6 in conferences, around about 2012. It worked for a while, then stopped. Not an important story.

Seamos claros aquí: CSW encontró un nexo entre las criptomonedas y IPv6 que no he visto a nadie más entender, insinuar o pensar.

No tengo idea de si agregó soporte en Bitcoin, pero también sé que, al agregarlo en mi propio código, tal cosa no es una prueba difícil, es suave.
