Craig Steven Wright, an Australian entrepreneur and self-declared cyber security expert, has claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of bitcoin. 自称为网络安全专家的澳大利亚企业家克雷格史蒂芬赖特(Craig Steven Wright)宣告自己就是化名“中本俊”(Satoshi Nakamoto)的比特币创造者。The announcement, if true, would end years of speculation about who is responsible for creating the digital currency. Until now, Mr Wright had never publicly confirmed or denied allegations that he was Mr Nakamoto. 这一声明如果有误,将落幕环绕是谁建构这种数字货币的多年猜测。
此前赖特未曾公开发表证实或坚称有关他是中本聪的众说纷纭。On Monday, Mr Wright published a blog post claiming to offer cryptographic proof that he is the creator of the digital currency. 周一,赖特公开发表博客声称获取加密证据,证明他就是比特币的创造者。Reflecting on a quote from philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, and before explaining the process of verifying a set of cryptographic keys, Mr Wright said in his post: “Since those early days, after distancing myself from the public persona that was Satoshi, I have poured every measure of myself into research. I have been silent, but I have not been absent. I have been engaged with an exceptional group and look forward to sharing our remarkable work when they are ready.” 赖特在博文中总结了哲学家让-保罗萨特(Jean-Paul Sartre)的一句话,接着在说明一组加密密钥的检验过程之前写到:“自从在最初的日子,我与‘中本俊’这个公共形象拉开距离后,将自己的全部精力投放研究中。我仍然绝望,但未曾置身事外。
我仍然在与一群卓越的人共事,期望在时机成熟时共享我们出众的成果。” The BBC and The Economist were given access to Mr Wright ahead of the announcement on the condition that they did not publish their articles before his post. 英国广播公司(BBC)和《经济学人》(The Economist)已在这份声明前专访过赖特,条件是不得在他公布这篇博客前公开发表新闻。
The Economist said: “Our conclusion is that Mr Wright could well be Mr Nakamoto, but that important questions remain. Indeed, it may never be possible to establish beyond reasonable doubt who really created bitcoin.” 《经济学人》回应:“我们的结论是赖特很有可能是中本俊,但那个最重要的问题仍然未解决。的确,对于谁才是比特币确实创造者的猜测,有可能总有一天无法回避合理猜测。
” In December, Mr Wright was identified as Mr Nakamoto in stories by Wired and Gizmodo that pointed to supposedly leaked emails and documents claiming proof he and a colleague, the late Dave Kleiman, were the co-inventors of the cryptocurrency. 去年12月,《连线》(Wired)和Gizmodo公布报导,行凶赖特就是中本俊。这些报导指向一些据信的泄漏电子邮件和文件,据以证明赖特与其同事——胞弟的戴夫克莱曼(Dave Kleiman)——是这种加密货币的联合发明人。
Hours after the publication of those stories, Mr Wright’s home in a leafy suburb of Sydney’s north shore and his work premises were raided by Australian federal police in connection with an investigation by the Australian Tax Office. Neighbours told the Financial Times at the time that Mr Wright and his family had already moved to London. 这些报导发布数小时后,因牵涉到澳大利亚税务局一项调查,澳大利亚联邦警员搜查了赖特的家与办公场所。赖特家坐落于悉尼北岸一个青翠郊区,他的一家人当时对英国《金融时报》回应,赖特和他的家人早已移居伦敦。Jon Matonis, a founding director of the Bitcoin Foundation, published a blog on Monday saying he had been in contact with Wright since June last year and in the lead up to a “private proof session in late March 2016”. 比特币基金会(Bitcoin Foundation)创立董事乔恩马托尼斯(Jon Matonis)在周一公开发表了一篇博客,称之为自己从去年6月起就仍然与赖特认识,最后在“2016年3月下旬举办了一次私下证明不会”。
Mr Matonis wrote on his blog: “During the London proof sessions, I had the opportunity to review the relevant data along three distinct lines: cryptographic, social, and technical. Based on what I witnessed, it is my firm belief that Craig Steven Wright satisfies all three categories.” 马托尼斯在博客中写到:“在伦敦证明不会期间,我有机会顺着三条主线评估涉及数据:加密、社交和技术。基于我亲眼所见,我深信克雷格史蒂芬赖特符合所有三大条件。
