It seems to me that there's two Satoshis to talk about here. One is the Satoshi that created Bitcoin. The other is the Satoshi that owns the private key to the genesis block, and also a whole lot of other bitcoins that are worth a lot of money.

Everything I've read about Craig Wright makes it seem pretty unlikely that he's the former. I just don't see enough in his CV to believe he created Bitcoin. This is the Satoshi I'd be more interested in actually learning the identity of.

As for the latter, all he needs to do to prove that is sign a message. That's pretty easy to do relative to the magnitude of the claim. Any proof beyond that isn't proof of identity, it's proof that he obtained that identity legitimately. I kind of don't care about who this Satoshi is unless they are the same person.

I don't think these two Satoshis have to be the same person, I don't think they need to be only one person, and I don't think they need to be alive, but right now I've personally seen nothing that makes me thing Craig is either.

Have you researched the guy? I would say his CV is quite impressive. https://archive.is/HdKeA https://archive.is/http://gse-compliance.blogspot.com.au/*
