Quick overview of day 1.

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/legal/the-trial-that-could-end-craig-wrights-satoshi-claim-for-good-started-today 

 Day 1 is over. The 4th and last block was all about documents that CSW admitted only very recently, and whether they should be admitted in court as evidence as it would cause delays. COPA described it as "pulling rabbits from hats", or rather "garbage from bins".

#COPAvWright 

 Another break. Wright's lawyer has been presenting his case. He claimed Wright's vision and credentials match that of Satoshi, while several eye witnesses (Matonis and Andresen) also believe that. He also argued that it's plausible CSW would have destroyed evidence; was suicidal.

(Eye witnesses of a cryptographic signing process I mean, ofc.) 

 Well I'm in the spillover room, where the video link just failed.

Mostly more of the same since the first brake though. COPA showed that CSW has been presenting fake evidence, anachronisms etc. over the past years.

#COPAvWright 

 First break. The TLDR so far is that COPA showed CSW has been forging documents to support his Satoshi claim.

#COPAvWright 

 There was some debate over whether Craig Wright would show up at all today. He did.
