这一次，我们可能是最后一次报道比特币创始人中本聪的“寻人启事”了。
This time, we may be the last to report on the wise & ldquao of the founder of Bitcoin; the discovery & rdquao; now.
今天下午，澳大利亚企业家克雷格·史蒂芬·赖特（Craig Steven Wright）通过BBC、经济学人和GQ宣布，自己就是如假包换的比特币创始人中本聪。
This afternoon, Australian entrepreneur Craig & Middot; Stephen & Middot; Craig Steven Wright announced through BBC, the Economist and GQ that he was the founder of Bitcoin.
赖特其中一个公开的身份是一名来自悉尼的查理斯顿（Charles Sturt）大学的兼职讲师，甚至还上过CCTV海外新闻频道的电视节目。
One of the known identities of Wright is a part-time lecturer from Charles Stewart University in Sydney and even attended a television show on the CCTV Overseas News Channel.
他名下有一家企业咨询公司McGrath Nicol。
He has a business consulting firm, McGrath Nicol.
他还是一本有关SCADA（Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition，数据采集与监视控制系统）的著作的联合作者之一，这种技术广泛应用于利用计算机对关键设备进行管理，包括各种核电站。
He is also one of the co-authors of a book on SCADA (Supervisory Control and DataAquition, Data Collection and Surveillance Control System), a technology that is widely applied to computer-based management of critical equipment, including nuclear power plants.
他也不是第一次在公开场合谈论比特币，多次对媒体甚至是在会议上描述他的比特币银行Denariuz的设想，以及他自己的安全检测手段。在2015年11月举行的一次比特币会议上，他也表达了一些不同于一般人的观点。
Nor was he the first time to speak of Bitcoin in public, to describe his idea of Denariuz, a bank of Bitcoin, to the media, and even to the conference, and his own security tests. At a Bitcoin conference in November 2015, he also expressed a number of different points of view.
作为一个安全专业人士，他还开放了一个地址为craig.wright@information-defense.com的邮箱与其他网络安全人士进行讨论，很明显他是一个非常喜欢说服别人的人。
As a security professional, he also opened a mailbox at craig.wright@information-defense.com to discuss with other cyber-security persons, apparently a very good person to convince.
他拥有一台名为“郁金香”的超级计算机，性能位居超级计算机500强第15名。
He owns a supercomputer called & ldquao; tulip & rdquao; and has a supercomputer at the top of 500.
为了证明自己的身份，赖特在BBC记者面前公开展示了属于中本聪的比特币。除此以外，赖特还展示了一笔发生在2009年1月份的交易，中本聪向帮助构建比特币协议的程序员之一——Hal Finney转账了10个比特币，这是有史以来第一笔比特币交易。
in order to prove his identity, Wright has publicly displayed in front of BBC reporters a bitcoin belonging to the middle class. In addition, Wright has shown a deal that took place in January 2009 to one of the programmers who helped build the bitcoin deal & mdash; & mdash; Hal Finney has transferred 10 bitcoins, the first ever Bitcoin transaction.
如果你心存疑问，不妨看看赖特本人的正式声明。
If you have any doubts, you may wish to see the official statement of Wright himself.
以下是赖特接受BBC记者采访视频节选翻译：
Here is an excerpt from an interview with BBC journalist by Wright:
是什么原因驱使你站出来？或者说你为什么隐藏了这么久？
What's driving you to stand up? Or why you've been hiding for so long?
即使是现在我也更希望我的身份是个秘密，我不认为我应该站出来，隐藏自己身份是我的权利。如果我创造了一种对人们有好处的技术，为什么我一定要为此邀功呢？为什么？
Even now I want my identity to be a secret, and I don't think it's my right to stand up and hide my identity. If I create a technology that is good to people, why do I have to ask for credit? Why?
你会因为人们把自己当作是中本聪而感到自豪吗？
Would you be proud of people who think they're middle-aged?
当然了，不过这不意味着我需要屈服于电视台摄像机。
Of course, but that doesn't mean I have to give in to TV cameras.
你发明了一些神奇的东西，你会想站出来说：“这就是我干的。”
You invented something amazing, and you want to come out and say, "Yldquao; that's what I do."
我想要的是一个工作，我想继续干我自己在做的事情。我不想在电视机前面发明、写文档、写代码。我不想要名气，我不想要钱，我不想被人仰慕，我不想太受关注。
What I want is a job, and I want to continue doing what I'm doing. I don't want to invent, write, write code in front of a TV. I don't want to be famous, I don't want money, I don't want to be admired, I don't want to be noticed.
我听闻说你得到了澳大利亚政府技术部门的投资，真的吗？
I heard you got an investment in Australian government technology. Really?
不，我自己有一家正在有序运作的公司。之所以有这样传言的原因是，我们向部门公开了所有信息。我们公开了比特币的税务、发行、应用。我们也请来了毕马威的审计师进行审计。我们有内部订单，我们把这些信息提供给税务官员，希望缴纳足额的税款……
No, I own an orderly company. The reason for the rumour is that we've made all the information available to the department. We've made the tax, distribution and application of Bitcoin public. We've also called for an audit by an auditor from KPMG. We have an internal order, and we provide this information to tax officials who want to pay the full amount of taxes & Hellip; & Hellip; & Hellip;
有人认为发明了比特币的中本聪肯定有大量的比特币，非常富裕。
Some believe that Bitcoin has been invented with a large amount of bitcoins and a great deal of wealth.
我有多少比特币并不重要，更重要的是我什么时候花掉。我需要在部署比特币的时候交税，而非在我拥有的时候交税。
It doesn't matter how much bitcoin I have, but more importantly when I spend it. I need to pay taxes when I deploy bitcoins, not when I own them.
你计划部署所有比特币吗？
Are you planning on deploying all the bitcoin?
我已经部署了足够多的数量，我对自己的处境感到很开心。我不想要钱，我也不需要帮助。我正在确保事情能够在律师和其他人的管理下正常运行……
I've deployed enough, and I'm happy about my situation. I don't want money, and I don't need help. I'm making sure things work properly with lawyers and others.
如果你给我颁发诺贝尔奖、图灵奖之类的，我永远不会接受，永远！
If you give me the Nobel Prize, the Turing Award or something, I'll never accept it, ever!
为什么你决定现在公布自己的身份？
Why did you decide to publish your identity now?
我没有作出决定，是人家决定的。这（指代隐藏身份）使得我的朋友、家人、员工的日子不太好过。伦敦有我的员工，其他城市有我的员工，他们不想让比特币的这一切影响自己，我也不想他们卷入其中。目前流传的很多故事都是编造的，正在伤害着我关心的那些人，所以我决定就干这么一次，以后我再也不会面对媒体的摄像机。
I didn't make a decision. It made my friends, family, and employees uncomfortable. London had my employees, other cities had my employees, and they didn't want Bitcoin to affect themselves, and I didn't want them to get involved. Many of the stories that are now circulating are made up, hurting those I care about, so I decided to do it this time, and I'll never face the media cameras again.
从这段采访中，我们不难感受到赖特的纠结，事实上他的身份曾经在去年12月9日差点被拆穿。Wired表示他们可能已经找到了“中本聪”的真身，恰恰就是赖特。
From this interview, it was easy for us to feel the trouble of Wright, whose identity had almost been torn apart on 9 December last year. Wired said that they might have found & ldquao; middle-class & rdquao; the true body, that is, Wright.
而赖特在身份险些曝光之前似乎也曾经考虑过公布自己的名号。
And Wright seems to have thought about publishing his name before he could be exposed.
赖特曾经以一个最为常见的比特币爱好者的形象出现在拉斯维加斯举办的比特币投资者会议：黑色西装外套，没有领带，皱巴巴的衬衫。
"Strong" Wright once appeared in Vegas as one of the most common bitcoin fans at the Bitcoin Investors Conference: Black suit jacket, no tie, wrinkle shirt.
他对自己的个人介绍非常简单：“一个之前做研究的学者，但是成果从来没有人听过。我接触比特币已经非常久了，我一直非常低调…”
He introduced himself very simply: & ldquao; a former researcher, but the results were never heard. I've been in touch with Bitcoin for a very long time, and I've been very low profile & Hellip; & & rdquao;
到这里他就戛然而止，也许他想说的内容就是：“我就是‘中本聪’，比特币的创造者。”
And when he came, he stopped, and perhaps what he wanted to say was: “ I am &lsquao; Central Ben and rsquao; and Bitquo, the Creator;
不过就在Wired文章引起轩然大波的48小时之后，这一轮身份风波被“中本聪”的邮件打断，中本聪在邮件中说道：
But just 48 hours after Wired's article gave rise to a huge wave, this round of identity waves was interrupted by &ldquao; medium-bone & rdquao; and medium-bone said in his e-mail:
我不是克雷格·怀特。我们每个人都是中本聪。（Iamnot Craig Wright.Weareall Satoshi）
I'm not Craig & Middot; White. Each of us is Mid-Sight.
好了，到目前为止，比特币存在的最大疑问——中本聪到底是谁，已经得到了最可靠的证实。
Well, so far, the biggest doubts of Bitcoin's existence & mdash; & mdash; who is Nakamoto, have been confirmed most reliably.
既然赖特本人是如此执着于隐藏自己的身份，避开科技圈大舞台的聚光灯，那我们就祝愿这位低调的企业家能够继续沉浸在数据安全和比特币的研究上，不被名利和金钱打扰。
Since Wright himself is so obsessed with hiding his identity and avoiding the spotlight on the stage of the scientific world, we wish this low-profile entrepreneur continued to be immersed in data security and Bitcoin research, free from fame and money.
不过说到钱，赖特通过比特币赚到的资产可能已经够自己花十辈子了。
But speaking of money, the assets that Wright has earned through Bitcoin may have been enough for ten years.
