I would say that if Gavin has been convinced by Craig Wright, then he has been hacked.

[–]BobAlison [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

If true, the significance is more political than technical.

Commit access to a particular GitHub repository means very little other than branding. If Gavin can't commit to github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin, he can always commit to github.com/gavinandresen/bitcoin, or some other repository. Then send a pull request to whomever he wants.

There's nothing special about the github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin repository technically, except the truly shocking reverence for it too many Bitcoin users seem to have.

Probably means something to Gavin's speaking appearance fee.

[–]lightboxtechnologies [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Gavin just confirmed in person at #Consensus2016 that he was not hacked and the words on his blog post are indeed his own. Gavin also confirmed in person that he still believes beyond reasonable doubt that Craig Wright is Satoshi.

[–]EsotericSN 58ポイント59ポイント  (7子コメント)

There's also the possibility all of this was made with the objective of removing commit access from Gavin.

[–]ztsmart [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

This is some M. Night Shamalamalamalan level shit

[–]RaptorXP 21ポイント22ポイント  (2子コメント)

Peter Todd might be behind this. Perhaps we should remove Peter Todd's commit rights until he proves he is not behind this.

[–]itisike 12ポイント13ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm pretty sure he's never had commit rights.

[–]Throwaway1273167 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Can Peter Todd trust Satoshi himself that Gavin's account has not been hacked? Surely Satoshi's word must mean something these days.

EDIT: Jesus guys, it was a joke.

[–]ebaley [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

OR he was a part of a plan with Wright to wrestle control of bitcoin.

Ian Grigg appears to have been hacked, too. Check out his twitter: https://twitter.com/iang_fc

He is retweeting a parody account of Craig Wright ("tulip boy"). He is also one of the ones "confirming" Satoshi's existence.

[–]-ment [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Something really fishy is going on here. It seems possible that Grigg, Andresen, Matonis, Wright, and maybe others, are being extorted. There is an interesting post here that's comparing writing styles among the aforementioned people from their recent blog/twitter posts.

[–]Hitchslappy 30ポイント31ポイント  (15子コメント)

This is getting ridiculous. I hope Gavin speaks up quickly regarding whether he's been hacked or not, or this is going to set the community back fucking months.

[–]thegtabmxredditor for 2 months [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

I'm at the NYC Consensus conference and Gavin is on the panel. He opened by saying he wasn't hacked.

[–]Hitchslappy [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

He also recently stated it on one of the other posts. Who knows what's going on :O

[–]aaaaaaaarrrrrgh 5ポイント6ポイント  (7子コメント)

As a supporter of it-that-must-not-be-named, I still think this is the right step, as long as everyone agrees that this is a temporary precaution until things are figured out.

[–]Hitchslappy 10ポイント11ポイント  (6子コメント)

As someone more or less impartial, I agree. It's an appropriate response to a potential security breach, which could potentially be cleared up in a matter of minutes.

Time to go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

While I agree with this and will be doing it... it's still interesting watching the political positioning around this event. Crazy all the stuff that is happening. Price is at a very big decision\inflection point too.

How much are you willing to bet he'll never be granted his privileges again?

[–]Hitchslappy [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Seeing as he's already come out saying he hasn't been hacked, and his privileges haven't been returned, nothing :/

Seems reasonable. It can always be added later once he confirms the validity of his post.

[–]jtnauredditor for 30 days 23ポイント24ポイント  (3子コメント)

C'mon, we all know it's never gonna be reinstated. Core were looking for an opportunity to rid themselves of Gavin and now they have.

[–]RaptorXP 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

The validity of his post is irrelevant, the question is whether he's been hacked or not.

Well, unless the whole thing is just a coup against Gavin.

That signature was copied on to a clean usb stick I brought with me to London, and then validated on a brand-new laptop with a freshly downloaded copy of electrum. I was not allowed to keep the message or laptop (fear it would leak before Official Announcement).

lol he got hacked

Deception, hoaxes and false-flags everywhere in the name of the public good.

It's how the elites play their power games with the common people and now the Bitcoin community.

We are Satoshi.

[–]bughi 9ポイント10ポイント  (4子コメント)

So because Gavin's blog site was hacked Peter saw fit to remove commit access?

Who the hell keeps iron clad security for a blogging website? And why would he believe that if the blogging website is compromised that means he's emai/github account is as well?

Also assuming his github was indeed compromised (big if) not much dammage an attacker can do since he would have to do everything in public and would become apparent that the account is compromised. At that point you can revoke commit access, not before.

EDIT: Gavin made a post to r/btc implying he was not hacked. Color me surprised.

[–]MaunaLoona 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Was Matonis (along with his twitter) hacked too? He is also supporting the claim that Craig is Satoshi.

[–]riplin [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Peter saw fit to remove commit access?

Peter doesn't have the credentials to do this. It was someone else.

[–]bughi [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Well if you read he's twitter he obviously approves of this action. I don't know who that someone else is and this is a thread about Peter's tweet.

[–]smartfbrankings [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

A hacker with Gavin's credentials could delete the repo, or could lock everyone else out. It's a pain. Removing Gavin temporarily risks nothing and harms nothing. So the cost benefit analysis is very clear - if someone has even a hint of being compromised, remove their access, then add them back if it's clear they aren't.

Hacked? This is a pretty weak move to remove his access on this one.

They wanted to do it for a long time. Now they found a pretext.

Plot twist: Craig planted malware on Gavin's laptop at that infamous meeting. => Profit.

Possibly hacked, certainly compromised.

Peter Todd calling Gavin Andresen incompetent is a joke. PT is immature and childish; one of the worst people in this community that continues to cause strife.

[–]brg444 [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Immature & childish are two traits very fitting of Gavin Andresen.

[–]Annapurna317 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

[–]losh11 [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

The Dev team deserve the rights to revoke access to another developer with write access if they believe that they've been compromised. Say that most of Gavin's accounts have been compromised, then a malicious person could modify the Bitcoin Core repo or even delete it.

[–]Annapurna317 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Gavin Andresen just said on stage at the consensus talk that he was not hacked.

He should be returned admin and commit access immediately.

[–]platinum_rhodium 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

His commit access was removed because he stated an opinion?

The crypto space is a bunch of cowards.

[–]apoefjmqdsfls [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I think it's time to thank Gavin for his service.

[–]TaleRecursionredditor for 28 days [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

This isn't the first time Gavin is involved in questionable matters: meeting with CIA, participation to XT with Mike Hern who later went on to develop permissioned blockchains for R3CEV and their bank overlords, trying to take over Bitcoin by leveraging on FUD around block size matters to sell his own fork, currently funded by MIT Digital Currency Initiative who also authored the very controversial ChainAnchor, and now he is caught red handed endorsing an impostor who pretends to be Satoshi.

If Gavin was not hacked, then Occam Razor's next best explanation to his current highly suspicious involvement is that he is a mole planted to disrupt Bitcoin.

IMO at this point and with all the dubious affiliations there is enough doubt on Gavin's real motivation to justify a permanent revocation of his Bitcoin repo commit access rights. Of course he can still contribute by submitting pull requests.

[–]MaunaLoona [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

I find it interesting that you rate the probability of him being a CIA plant higher than him making a mistake.

[–]TaleRecursionredditor for 28 days [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

If this was the first questionable thing Gavin ever did or was involved with, Occam Razor's would point to a mistake. But that's not the case. As I explained Gavin raises already a lot of red flag and this affair is one too many.

[–]darrenturn90 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

then Occam Razor's next best explanation

or maybe, that Gavin has seen proof that you haven't?

Come back when you understand that occam's razor doesn't automatically lead to "mole"

[–]smartfbrankings [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Occam's Razor is that he's just far beyond his level of competence, not anything evil.

Is there any malware on gavin's site?

Edit: It's a hosted blog @ svbtle.com. They would have to be hacked too in order for malware to be uploaded. I don't know javascript well enough but it all looks normal to me.
