By the way, isn't Craig Wright the guy that claimed to be Satoshi?
Yeah, he is. I wrote about those claims almost a year ago, here, and I've been following the nChain blog - where I found that video - since shortly after that article. It actually looks to me like nChain is attempting to implement a vision that Wright started hinting at in public statements from as far back as 2015, before all the Satoshi drama.
And yeah, you're definitely right that the crypto space is saturated with vaporware. Results take a long time to deliver.
Thanks, that was an interesting read. It seems like you have a similar idea to me for the Satoshi question. For me, it seems parallel to the mathematian Nicholas Bourbaki.
Anyway, all the drama aside, it does seem like this guy has some interesting ideas. Maybe something for me to look further into.
