Does anyone know if there are any lock out mechanisms on accounts which stall access after x number of password attempts?

Re: Craig Wright suing developers to forcibly give him access to internet coins
#52"Faketoshi" as he's known in the community always finds a new way to NOT be able to prove he has access to the early mined coins. It's honestly comical at this point the different bullshit he comes up with. My favorite so far was finding an existing signature on the blockchain from Satoshi, modifying the data, then publishing the signature with different data in an attempt to claim to be the creator of Bitcoin. Every…
It's time I finally admit my past to the world - I'm Satoshi Nakamoto. AMA.
I am Spartacus, er Satoshi...
Re: Craig Wright suing developers to forcibly give him access to internet coins
#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
In this case though the problem isn't irreversible transactions, it is that Craig Wright does not and has never owned the coins he claims to have owned.
Just to clarify, the article is about the court case where he wants some transactions on the Bitcoin SV blockchain reversed. The question relating to whether he is Satoshi, and therefore owns Satoshi's 1.1M Bitcoins on the Bitcoin Core blockchain, is a separate court case.
He does not want transactions reverted, he wants Bitcoin Core to change the rules of who can spend coins to allow him to make new transactions that are currently not allowed. He is implementing this in his own Bitcoin fork, Bitcoin SV, to demonstrate that it can be done.

#54Hasn't he already been ordered to pay $100M in damages? https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/12/06/craig-wright-fou...
Why is this guy still scamming? Did he not learn his lesson?
Re: Craig Wright suing developers to forcibly give him access to internet coins
#55Craig Wright is such a fraud. The ALAB Podcast episode on him is hilarious. He's got some serious mental issues. My favorite part about the saga is that after he claimed to be Satoshi and have access to billions of dollars, everyone involved in lawsuits with him agreed. "Yeah, okay you've got billions of dollars. So that means you owe the plaintiff half of that, and the Australian tax authorities a chunk too."
I particularly liked the bit about him thinking he was clever denying that a printout of an email was an email. Ohh or the forged signature. There’s so much to love in this case, I would not have known half of the stupidity surrounding it if I hadn’t listened that ALAB episode
Re: Craig Wright suing developers to forcibly give him access to internet coins
#56Aside from the obvious, can someone at least tell me how these claims are rationalized because they make no sense: 1) If the hackers copied and deleted the private keys from his computer 2) Why does Bitcoin SV need to be modified in order for the funds to be accessed Do people on HN even know why those statements are not reconcilable? Does TheRegister, does the judge? I don't care what Craig Wright knows or thinks, h…
What you said at the end is correct. He is aiming to have the courts somehow force through a Bitcoin hard fork that moves Satoshi's coins to an address controlled by himself, and he is including his Bitcoin fork, BSV, so that his team can implement the fork and show the courts it's a viable remedy.
Then he'll say to the courts "look the developers and miners for BSV made the change so it's possible; You need to go after the Bitcoin people and make them do the same."
Re: Craig Wright suing developers to forcibly give him access to internet coins
#57What are the theories about why the real Satoshi doesn't just move all the coin to another wallet himself to prove that Craig Wright is just a scammer?
My favorite theory, Satoshi is a state actor and couldn't care less.
Oh man. Can you imagine the absolute online shit-fest if that turned out to be true?
Satoshi is China, or the US.

#58He would be better off spending his millions on the psychological help he clearly needs.
If he had millions, he wouldn't have lost a security order (where the judge believes that you don't have sufficient assets to cover the other side's legal costs if you lose, you have to give the court security over some assets/funds to hold in escrow).

So far I get the impression that judges are mildly amused by him, at least the one in Florida, otherwise they would commit him to an asylum or dismiss his cases outright
Re: Craig Wright suing developers to forcibly give him access to internet coins
#60From legal standpoint it is interesting case and it can bring precedent to crypto scene. We will know if person can lose coins and retrieve them back lawful way with court order. Even more interesting, that most miners are now located in USA jurisdiction. We know, that Google and others can adjust results based on courts orders. It's interesting if miners who invested hundred millions into mining operation could foll…
This makes no sense to me. The court orders... who exactly, to return the coins? AFAIK a new Bitcoin fork would have to be made (by whom?) - and there's no guarantee the fork would be accepted by anyone.
