Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright has publicly identified himself as Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto [bbc.com].

His admission ends years of speculation about who came up with the original ideas underlying the digital cash system.

Mr Wright has provided technical proof to back up his claim using coins known to be owned by Bitcoin's creator.

Prominent members of the Bitcoin community and its core development team have also confirmed Mr Wright's claim.

Will the real Satoshi Nakamoto please stand up? Seriously, though, how deep and dark will be the hole that this guy is thrown into?
