Whatever the reason(s) why Gavin believes in Wright might be, I don't believe in bad intentions. And he has (had) to handle more impressions and informations then the rest of us, also more subjective information (direct communication) etc. And the situation with Wright most likely was convincing.

With other words: I don't blame him for believing it. What I see as a mistake is that he (Gavin) wrote a blogpost. That was premature and I'm sure he regrets it.

No, it isn't just an example of a simple mistake , but gross negligence with extreme levels of credulity after a great amount of evidence discrediting Wright from last year, now more evidence from many different sources discrediting wright further with clear explanations on how and why Craig Wright is a likely fraud and at minimum lying with evidence provided.... and after all this Gavin still suggests he believes CW is Satoshi. This is far beyond any mistake , and raises some serious questions to either his competence or authenticity. Either way, both classic and core should permanently revoke his commit access.

I'll wait for the next days to see if G.A. distances himself from his post and gives further explanations.

...

I'll give it a few days until the dust settles too. If Wright hasn't signed a message by then Gavin's reputation will be destroyed.

Do you remember that guy who moved coins mined in 2009 last year, and we all thought he was Satoshi? He signed a message on reddit saying "It was me" to prove he controlled those coins, then denied he was Satoshi. I'd be more inclined to believe he was Satoshi than Wright unless Wright signs a message like him.

I want to be able to sign coinbase transactions (you must possess the private key to be able to transact), but is not an option in bitcoin-qt
