Really? That just looks like a much too long (targeted to journalists) description of ECDSA signing. Where's the _actual_ signature?

It's near the beginning of the post.

Are you referring to

It's just a base64 encoded string.

And the string starts with space and ends with two line feeds:

     " Wright, it is not the same as if I sign Craig Wright, Satoshi.\n\n"

The message isn't provided.

The message is the Sartre quote at the top of the post.

Edit: No it's not.

[maaku]

No, it is (supposedly) a longer document of which only a portion is shown in a screenshot.

Here is the full document: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/1964/12/17/sartre-on-the-nob...

but since getting a single piece of whitespace wrong would throw the hash off completely, that isn't terribly useful. Though it seems that it should be possible to brute force every reasonable permutation of formatting for the article and find one whose hash matches the one he provided, if it's the real source. The search space of "documents within a string edit distance of N" is probably not too large.
