The family of the dead man says he and his business partner together were Nakamoto, and thus the family is entitled to half of the fortune.\nWho Satoshi Nakamoto is has been one of the financial world’s enduring mysteries. Does the name refer to one person? Or several? And why has he or she or they not touched a penny of that fortune?\nThe answers to those questions are at the center of the Florida dispute and of bitcoin itself. Bitcoin has become a trillion-dollar market, with tens of millions of investors. It has challenged governments trying to regulate it and has been endorsed by some. The technology behind it is seen by some as a way to rewire the global financial system. Yet, who created it and why has remained a mystery.\nAnd that is all before you get to who controls one of the largest private fortunes in the world.\nThat is what a Florida jury will try to tackle. The family of David Kleiman is suing his former business partner, a 51-year-old Australian programmer living in London named Craig Wright. Mr. Wright has been arguing since 2016 that he created bitcoin, a claim dismissed by most in the bitcoin community. Mr. Kleiman’s family argues that the two worked on and mined bitcoin together, entitling Mr. Kleiman’s family to half a million bitcoins.\n“We believe the evidence will show there was a partnership to create and mine over one million bitcoin,” said Vel Freedman, a lawyer for the Kleiman family.\nThe plaintiffs plan to produce evidence showing that the two were involved in bitcoin since its inception and worked together.\n“It is about two friends who had a partnership, and about how one of them tried to take everything for himself after the other died,” said Tibor Nagy, a lawyer who has been observing the trial.\nThe defense said it has evidence that will show Mr. Wright is the creator of bitcoin and never included Mr. Kleiman. “We believe the court will find there’s nothing to indicate or record that they were in a partnership,” said Andrés Rivero, a lawyer for Mr. Wright.\nFor bitcoiners, there is only one piece of evidence that could conclusively prove the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto: the private key that controls the account where Nakamoto stored the one million bitcoins. Anyone claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto could show that he or she has them by moving even a fraction of a coin out of it.\nThe mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto is one of the curiosities of bitcoin. On Oct. 31, 2008, somebody using that name sent a nine-page paper to a group of cryptographers explaining a system of “electronic cash” that allowed people to exchange value without the need for a bank or other party. A few months later, the bitcoin network went live, and Nakamoto collected one million bitcoins in its first year.\nIt was earlier in 2008 that the family of Mr. Kleiman claims his business partner Mr. Wright asked for Mr. Kleiman’s help in what would become that nine-page paper. They collaborated on the white paper and launched bitcoin together, the suit alleges.\nBitcoin combined encryption, cryptography, distributed computing and game theory. With bitcoin, two people, anywhere in the world with an internet connection, could transact without a middleman in minutes.\nFor every single one of the more than 650 million bitcoin transactions, all publicly visible on a ledger called the “blockchain,” there are two strings of numbers that control how the digital currency is moved: a public key and a private key. Anybody can send bitcoin to the public key, or the destination address, which is similar to a bank account. Only the person who controls the account will have the private key and essentially own the bitcoin.\nIn bitcoin’s early days, nobody cared much about Nakamoto’s identity. Bitcoin had no tangible value and only a small group of backers. Nakamoto was active in its development for about two years, writing on message boards and emailing with developers. In December 2010, Nakamoto, who was known to use two email addresses and have one registered website, stopped posting publicly; essentially, Nakamoto disappeared.\nThe universe of people with the technical knowledge to create bitcoin is limited. Most of the prominent names in cryptography have been tagged as Nakamoto. All have denied it, and no evidence has ever linked anyone conclusively to bitcoin’s creation.\nMeanwhile, in 2011, Mr. Kleiman incorporated a company in Florida called W&K Info Defense Research. His family alleges that it was a partnership and that Mr. Wright later tried to claim outright ownership. The defense says there was in fact no partnership.\nMr. Kleiman died on April 26, 2013.\nThe next year, Newsweek reported that a man with the same last name as Satoshi—Dorian Nakamoto—was bitcoin’s creator. He denied the claim, and on a message board, a one-sentence post from an account known to have been used by the real Nakamoto agreed: “I am not Dorian Nakamoto.” If that was a genuine message from bitcoin’s creator, it is the last public correspondence from Nakamoto.\nIn May 2016, Mr. Wright claimed that he was bitcoin’s founder. He met with several early bitcoin pioneers, gave exclusive interviews to three media outlets and filled a website with papers he had written about cryptography and bitcoin.\nThree days later,facing withering criticism, he dropped the claim. He pulled everything off the website and replaced it with a four-paragraph apology. “I broke,” he wrote. “I do not have the courage. I cannot.” He has since renewed his insistence that he created bitcoin.\nWhether Mr. Wright or Mr. Kleiman possesses or possessed the knowledge to have created the cryptocurrency is contested.\nMr. Wright “has been hacking, bamboozling and fooling people, playing the confidence game,” said Arthur van Pelt, a bitcoin investor who has emerged as one of Mr. Wright’s most vocal critics. “There is no genuine, independent, credible proof whatsoever.”\nMr. Kleiman’s computing expertise was known to be extensive. It is possible that Mr. Kleiman created bitcoin, Emin Gun Sirer, founder of Ava Labs, said, but there isn’t enough information to be sure. “It’s an open question,” he said.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":871119239,"gmtCreate":1637035335879,"gmtModify":1637037347517,"author":{"id":"3559581955535845","authorId":"3559581955535845","name":"koolgal","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c05274d88ffc0434623e57350c52c70a","vip":2,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3559581955535845","idStr":"3559581955535845"},"htmlText":"The mystery of Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto deepens.&nbsp; It seems like one of those&nbsp;legends of sunken treasures.&nbsp; The person who holds the key to open the vault will be the owner of untold wealth and fame.&nbsp; Hopefully this mystery will be solved soon. 🤔","listText":"The mystery of Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto deepens.&nbsp; It seems like one of those&nbsp;legends of sunken treasures.&nbsp; The person who holds the key to open the vault will be the owner of untold wealth and fame.&nbsp; Hopefully this mystery will be solved soon. 🤔","text":"The mystery of Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto deepens.

Only the person who controls the account will have the private key and essentially own the bitcoin.<blockquote>对于超过6.5亿笔比特币交易中的每一笔，都在一个名为“区块链”的账本上公开可见，有两串数字控制着数字货币的移动方式：公钥和私钥。任何人都可以将比特币发送到公钥或目的地地址，这类似于银行账户。只有控制账户的人才会拥有私钥，本质上拥有比特币。</blockquote> In bitcoin’s early days, nobody cared much about Nakamoto’s identity. Bitcoin had no tangible value and only a small group of backers. Nakamoto was active in its development for about two years, writing on message boards and emailing with developers. In December 2010, Nakamoto, who was known to use two email addresses and have one registered website, stopped posting publicly; essentially, Nakamoto disappeared.<blockquote>在比特币早期，没有人太关心中本聪的身份。比特币没有有形的价值，只有一小群支持者。中本聪积极参与了大约两年的开发，在留言板上写作，并与开发人员发送电子邮件。2010年12月，众所周知使用两个电子邮件地址并拥有一个注册网站的中本聪停止公开发帖；本质上，中本聪消失了。</blockquote> The universe of people with the technical knowledge to create bitcoin is limited. Most of the prominent names in cryptography have been tagged as Nakamoto. All have denied it, and no evidence has ever linked anyone conclusively to bitcoin’s creation.<blockquote>拥有创造比特币的技术知识的人是有限的。密码学领域的大多数知名人士都被贴上了中本聪的标签。所有人都否认了这一点，也没有证据表明任何人与比特币的创造有决定性的联系。</blockquote> Meanwhile, in 2011, Mr. Kleiman incorporated a company in Florida called W&amp;K Info Defense Research. His family alleges that it was a partnership and that Mr. Wright later tried to claim outright ownership. The defense says there was in fact no partnership.<blockquote>与此同时，2011年，克雷曼在佛罗里达州成立了一家名为W&amp;K Info Defense Research的公司。他的家人声称这是一个合伙企业，赖特先生后来试图要求完全所有权。辩方称事实上没有合作关系。</blockquote> Mr. Kleiman died on April 26, 2013.<blockquote>克雷曼先生于2013年4月26日去世。</blockquote> The next year, Newsweek reported that a man with the same last name as Satoshi—Dorian Nakamoto—was bitcoin’s creator. He denied the claim, and on a message board, a one-sentence post from an account known to have been used by the real Nakamoto agreed: “I am not Dorian Nakamoto.” If that was a genuine message from bitcoin’s creator, it is the last public correspondence from Nakamoto.<blockquote>第二年，《新闻周刊》报道说，一个与中本聪同姓的人——多里安·中本聪——是比特币的创造者。他否认了这一说法，在留言板上，一个已知真正的中本聪使用过的账户发了一句话的帖子表示同意：“我不是多里安·中本聪。”如果这是来自比特币的创造者的真实信息，这是中本聪的最后一封公开信件。</blockquote> In May 2016, Mr. Wright claimed&nbsp;that he was bitcoin’s founder. He met with several early bitcoin pioneers, gave exclusive interviews to three media outlets and filled a website with papers he had written about cryptography and bitcoin.<blockquote>2016年5月，赖特先生声称自己是比特币的创始人。他会见了几位早期的比特币先驱，接受了三家媒体的独家采访，并在一个网站上发表了他写的关于密码学和比特币的论文。</blockquote> Three days later,facing withering criticism, he dropped the claim. He pulled everything off the website and replaced it with a four-paragraph apology. “I broke,” he wrote. “I do not have the courage. I cannot.” He has since renewed his insistence that he created bitcoin.<blockquote>三天后，面对严厉的批评，他放弃了索赔。他从网站上撤下了所有内容，代之以四段道歉。“我破产了，”他写道。“我没有这个勇气，我不能。”此后，他再次坚称自己创造了比特币。</blockquote> Whether Mr. Wright or Mr. Kleiman possesses or possessed the knowledge to have created the cryptocurrency is contested.<blockquote>赖特先生或克雷曼先生是否拥有或曾经拥有创造加密货币的知识存在争议。</blockquote> Mr. Wright “has been hacking, bamboozling and fooling people, playing the confidence game,” said Arthur van Pelt, a bitcoin investor who has emerged as one of Mr. Wright’s most vocal critics. “There is no genuine, independent, credible proof whatsoever.”<blockquote>比特币投资者阿瑟·范佩尔(Arthur van Pelt)已成为赖特最直言不讳的批评者之一，他表示，赖特“一直在黑客攻击、欺骗和愚弄人们，玩信心游戏”。“没有任何真实、独立、可信的证据。”</blockquote> Mr. Kleiman’s computing expertise was known to be extensive. It is possible that Mr. Kleiman created bitcoin, Emin Gun Sirer, founder of Ava Labs, said, but there isn’t enough information to be sure. “It’s an open question,” he said.<blockquote>众所周知，克雷曼先生的计算机专业知识非常广泛。Ava实验室创始人Emin Gun Sirer表示，克雷曼先生有可能创造了比特币，但没有足够的信息来确定。“这是一个悬而未决的问题，”他说。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto Could Be Unmasked at Florida Trial<blockquote>比特币创作者中本聪可能在佛州审判中被揭露</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto Could Be Unmasked at Florida Trial<blockquote>比特币创作者中本聪可能在佛州审判中被揭露</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nWSJ2021-11-15 07:55\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nA seemingly run-of-the-mill trial is playing out in Florida: The family of a deceased man is suing his former business partner over control of their partnership’s assets.<blockquote>佛罗里达州正在进行一场看似普通的审判：一名死者的家人正在起诉他的前商业伙伴，要求控制他们合伙企业的资产。</blockquote> In this case, the assets in question are a cache of about one million bitcoins, equivalent to around $64 billion today, belonging to bitcoin’s creator, the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. The family of the dead man says he and his business partner together were Nakamoto, and thus the family is entitled to half of the fortune.<blockquote>在这种情况下，有问题的资产是大约100万个比特币的缓存，相当于今天的640亿美元左右，属于比特币的创造者，笔名中本聪。死者的家人说，他和他的商业伙伴一起是中本聪，因此家人有权获得一半的财产。</blockquote> Who Satoshi Nakamoto is has been one of the financial world’s enduring mysteries. Does the name refer to one person? Or several? And why has he or she or they not touched a penny of that fortune?<blockquote>中本聪是谁一直是金融界经久不衰的谜团之一。名字指的是一个人吗？还是几个？为什么他或她或他们没有碰那笔财富的一分钱？</blockquote> The answers to those questions are at the center of the Florida dispute and of bitcoin itself. Bitcoin has become a trillion-dollar market, with tens of millions of investors. It has challenged governments trying to regulate it and has been endorsed by some. The technology behind it is seen by some as a way to rewire the global financial system. Yet, who created it and why has remained a mystery.<blockquote>这些问题的答案是弗罗里达争端和比特币本身的核心。比特币已经成为一个万亿美元的市场，拥有数千万投资者。它对试图监管它的政府提出了挑战，并得到了一些人的支持。其背后的技术被一些人视为重新连接全球金融体系的一种方式。然而，谁创造了它，为什么仍然是个谜。</blockquote> And that is all before you get to who controls one of the largest private fortunes in the world.<blockquote>这还不是你知道谁控制着世界上最大的私人财富之一。</blockquote> That is what a Florida jury will try to tackle. The family of David Kleiman is suing his former business partner, a 51-year-old Australian programmer living in London named Craig Wright. Mr. Wright has been arguing since 2016 that he created bitcoin, a claim dismissed by most in the bitcoin community. Mr. Kleiman’s family argues that the two worked on and mined bitcoin together, entitling Mr. Kleiman’s family to half a million bitcoins.<blockquote>这就是佛罗里达州陪审团将试图解决的问题。大卫·克雷曼的家人正在起诉他的前商业伙伴，一位居住在伦敦的51岁澳大利亚程序员克雷格·赖特。赖特先生自2016年以来一直辩称是他创造了比特币，但这一说法遭到了比特币界大多数人的驳斥。克雷曼的家人辩称，两人一起开发和开采比特币，使克雷曼的家人有权获得50万比特币。</blockquote> “We believe the evidence will show there was a partnership to create and mine over one million bitcoin,” said Vel Freedman, a lawyer for the Kleiman family.<blockquote>克雷曼家族的律师维尔·弗里德曼(Vel Freedman)表示：“我们相信证据将表明双方存在合作伙伴关系，共同创造和开采了超过100万枚比特币。”</blockquote> The plaintiffs plan to produce evidence showing that the two were involved in bitcoin since its inception and worked together.<blockquote>原告计划出示证据，表明两人自比特币成立以来就参与其中，并一起工作。</blockquote> “It is about two friends who had a partnership, and about how one of them tried to take everything for himself after the other died,” said Tibor Nagy, a lawyer who has been observing the trial.<blockquote>“这是关于两个有伙伴关系的朋友，以及其中一个如何在另一个死后试图将一切据为己有，”一直在观察审判的律师蒂博尔·纳吉说。</blockquote> The defense said it has evidence that will show Mr. Wright is the creator of bitcoin and never included Mr. Kleiman. “We believe the court will find there’s nothing to indicate or record that they were in a partnership,” said Andrés Rivero, a lawyer for Mr. Wright.<blockquote>辩方表示，有证据表明赖特是比特币的创造者，但从未包括克雷曼。“我们相信法庭会发现没有任何迹象或记录表明他们是合伙关系，”赖特先生的律师安德烈斯·里韦罗(Andrés Rivero)说。</blockquote> For bitcoiners, there is only one piece of evidence that could conclusively prove the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto: the private key that controls the account where Nakamoto stored the one million bitcoins. Anyone claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto could show that he or she has them by moving even a fraction of a coin out of it.<blockquote>对于比特币创造者来说，只有一个证据可以最终证明中本聪的身份：控制中本聪存储100万比特币的账户的私钥。任何自称是中本聪的人都可以通过从硬币中取出哪怕是一小部分来证明他或她拥有它们。</blockquote> The mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto is one of the curiosities of bitcoin. On Oct. 31, 2008, somebody using that name sent a nine-page paper to a group of cryptographers explaining a system of “electronic cash” that allowed people to exchange value without the need for a bank or other party. A few months later, the bitcoin network went live, and Nakamoto collected one million bitcoins in its first year.<blockquote>中本聪之谜是比特币的奇葩之一。2008年10月31日，有人用这个名字向一群密码学家发送了一份九页的论文，解释了一种“电子现金”系统，该系统允许人们在不需要银行或其他方的情况下进行价值交换。几个月后，比特币网络上线，中本聪在第一年就收集了100万比特币。</blockquote> It was earlier in 2008 that the family of Mr. Kleiman claims his business partner Mr. Wright asked for Mr. Kleiman’s help in what would become that nine-page paper. They collaborated on the white paper and launched bitcoin together, the suit alleges.<blockquote>2008年早些时候，克雷曼的家人声称，他的商业伙伴赖特在那份9页的文件中寻求克雷曼的帮助。诉讼称，他们在白皮书上进行了合作，并共同推出了比特币。</blockquote> Bitcoin combined encryption, cryptography, distributed computing and game theory. With bitcoin, two people, anywhere in the world with an internet connection, could transact without a middleman in minutes.<blockquote>比特币结合了加密、密码学、分布式计算和博弈论。有了比特币，世界上任何有互联网连接的地方的两个人都可以在几分钟内进行交易，无需中间人。</blockquote> For every single one of the more than 650 million bitcoin transactions, all publicly visible on a ledger called the “blockchain,” there are two strings of numbers that control how the digital currency is moved: a public key and a private key.
