Watermarked Whitepaper? Solid Testimony Or Clouded Facts? Day 11 Copa Vs. Craig Wright Satoshi Trial

Craig Wright Satoshi Claim Still Unproven After Day 11 Testimonies

I recap the highlights from day 11 of the COPA v Wright trial, including the testimonies of two defense witnesses – David Bridges and Max Lynam.

Bridges, an IT forensics expert, corroborated Wright’s technical expertise but couldn’t independently verify Wright’s claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto. His testimony neither proved nor disproved Craig Wright’s Satoshi identity claims.

Lynam confirmed running unidentified code for Wright during Bitcoin’s creation but was unaware of its purpose until later media reports on Craig Wright’s Satoshi claim. His testimony also failed to provide definitive proof either way.

I also discuss Wright’s prior claim about a watermark encoded in the Bitcoin whitepaper using steganography. Since the mark would be in the original LaTeX source file, not the compiled PDF, looking for it in the published whitepaper text is pointless.

While day 11 provided useful background and testimony on Wright’s capabilities, neither witness moved the needle much regarding proving Craig Wright is Satoshi. Both sides can argue the testimonies support their position. The Craig Wright Satoshi identity question remains inconclusive based on these witnesses.

Day 11 Round 10 goes to Copa – giving Copa the edge (6-5)
