Jason Livingood: "This is a web notification system that presents an overlay service message for non-TLS sessions. Documented in RFC 6108 & in place for many years - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6108 . In this case the alert informs customer of need to upgrade an end of life device."

Yeah, cuz we're all supposed to know about rfc6108.. Guess I have some catching up to do on "Internet Engineering".

Finance is centralized around London so it makes more sense. Extradition requires a lot of work, coordination, and tax payer money.

The transcript is off. And biased (Co-author of the http://Bitcoin.org developer documentation)

It excludes his self correction.

CoinGeek is either run by or paid for by Craig Wright.

Prove it.

Known fraud and scammer

Evidence?

"And for all my searching, I can't find any evidence that CW was actually convicted of any fraud or taxation crimes, despite everyone yelling from the tree tops that he's a scammer and a fraud." [0]

He has recently threatened to sue anyone who questions his claims

You are mistaken. He's not suing anyone who questions his claims. He can sue for libel.

Why was this flagged?
cornchips··on Silicon Graphics, Craig Wright, and the Untold Story
Shipments of 1 or 2 xeon phis constitutes a supercomputer? Pointing to a box and saying it's full of infinibands and xeon phis means that we should believe they are full of them?

There were racks too.

The small stuff you probably saw is for developers.

I find it more likely a technology person would spend a lot money than saving it. If spending millions we are talking DIY supercomputer territory.

At every turn in this saga of signings, supercomputers, and credentials there's always something sketchy going on. At some point you can no longer accept what this guy says at face value.

Name one thing about bitcoin that isn't sketchy.

cornchips··on Silicon Graphics, Craig Wright, and the Untold Story
Shipments of xeon phi represents the supercomputer. The desktop machines loaded with them is for developers. He had 3 phase going into his private residential area home. In an already 230v country, means a LOT of power...

The evidence weighs with the expenditure of large investments.

The court fights will probably come as evidenced by a segment in his recent public talk. Especially in countries with libel laws. Court costs a lot of time and money which could be used for better things.

Two copies were out there. One on an sgi domain the other republished on his company cloudcroft. Don't want to go into the archive because it massive and messy. Easier to let it play out.

Improper investigation by the ATO wasn't comfortable so they jumped islands.

No customers, just investments.

Before they were deleted there were videos of pieces of the equipment.

I doubt most schools would hire a teacher unless at minimum they are pursuing a master's/doctoral if they don't have one.

"Many 2-year community colleges often hire instructors with only master’s degrees, as long as they have some teaching experience. Four-year colleges and universities usually require a doctoral degree, unless you have decades of experience in your field, in addition to a master’s." http://www.teachingdegree.org/types-of-teachers/higher-educa...

Can one teach a Master class with out a Master’s degree?
cornchips··on Silicon Graphics, Craig Wright, and the Untold Story
I remember this well. Never seen smearing until then. Which included advocates of bitcoin and other coins for various reasons. Happened the week of Craig's outing by the people extorting him.

Here's some information class about he was teaching right until they scrubbed it: https://web.archive.org/web/20120430035605/http://www.itmast...

And another: https://archive.is/ttLth

This was on their youtube page: https://archive.is/gXPkX "Presented by Dr Craig Wright of Charles Sturt University and the Global Institute for Cyber Security + Research."

The SGI endorsement letter existed. I have a copy, but the web version was scrubbed. The remaining evidence is in the form of a copy of press release http://archive.is/cqI6S

cornchips··on Facebook is an attack on the open web
Facebook is evil. They knew people would be posting videos killing themselves and let others watch. If you know anything about psychology; trauma and copycats. [1]

Facebook retains your data, and you can't do anything about it. I don't know how any engineers can work there knowing in their mind the delete button is a ruse -- or "incomplete functionality". From what i've observed there is active censorship especially in regards to negative statements of facebook (of which i'm sure they are aware of copycats).

This company has brought out the worst of society and they are deserving of justice -- or at least balance.

[1] https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/may/21/facebook-users-... "Experts have told us what’s best for these people’s safety is to let them livestream as long as they are engaging with viewers."

Adding to that, I recommend "Chasing Bubbles" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5254722/ full version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibP5IQxId34). Watch it before reading the plot.
cornchips··on Standing Up to a Dangerous New Breed of Patent Troll
In retrospect: No. Prior art.

They abused the system for their own gain, while at the same time "retarding the development of aviation".

"The Wrights' preoccupation with the legal issue hindered their development of new aircraft designs, and by 1910 Wright aircraft were inferior to those made by other firms in Europe. Indeed, aviation development in the U.S. was suppressed to such an extent that when the country entered World War I no acceptable American-designed aircraft were available, and U.S. forces were compelled to use French machines."

"The lawsuits damaged the public image of the Wright brothers, who previously had been generally regarded as heroes." [1]

cornchips··on Chicago's About to Get a Lot Less Orange
"gloomy" is quite subjective...

I've never observed street light color making driving at night annoying; for the 3-5 second interval the yellow is on.

Just curious, have you ever been tested for color blindness?

No.

"I try to stay much less emotionally attached to the end-result".

This is the mindset that drives most of military, police and totalitarian policy. You don't drop a bomb or violate the constitution without a bit of emotional divestment.
