| Motherboard seems to think this is a hoax[1]. In sum: * Only one key, the Original Key, is actually known to be associated with Satoshi. * The Wired and Gizmodo Keys that supposedly lead back to Satoshi weren’t previously known to be linked to Satoshi, and their 2008 creation date could have been faked. * Both keys use a longer and less-common key size than the Original Key. * Both keys use a list of cipher-suites that don’t match up to the Original Key, and weren’t added to GPG until 2009. * The Wired key was retroactively added to a 2008 blogpost sometime between 2012 and 2014, as noted in its story. * A core Bitcoin developer who’s been involved from nearly the beginning looked back at 2011 chatlogs referring to “fake” Satoshi keys on keyservers, and found no reference to either the Gizmodo or Wired keys. He thinks that those keys weren’t yet uploaded to the keyserver in 2011. [1] http://motherboard.vice.com/read/satoshis-pgp-keys-are-proba... |
