Original contents of the issue follows. It was submitted as https://github.com/bitcoin-sv/bitcoin-sv/issues/210 but later deleted by the repository owners.
Honored Mr. Wright, dear fellow Bitcoin SV developers, dear guests,
what I find really intriguing is that on archive.org they keep the malicious copy of bitcoin.pdf file. Please have a look at https://web.archive.org/web/20100704213649/bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf and possibly make them delete it.
Yes, just open any of the archived bitcoin.pdf files.
- Go to archive.org.
- Enter
bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdfinto the search box. - Press Go button.
- See all the malicious copies.
The malicious bitcoin.pdf files should not be there. They are misleading and point to some unknown email address we do not have access to. The only bitcoin-white-paper.pdf files on the world wide web should be those with following SHA256 checksum:
7a3aeccf8d75095c96c21e57352a49120e0dd70627f70e935c8bfe781ddac957
The pdfinfo of the correct bitcoin-white-paper.pdf written by our Mr. Wright, long life to him, says this:

+PDF version: 1.4I just whole-heart wish everybody understands the truth and accept Bitcoin SV as the only real and original, and that people from all the nations around the world would accept Mr. Wright as our savior. We can make it so that only the righteous copies of the original whitepaper and nothing else is available. Or?
Also following commits should be rewritten in history of our precious bitcoin-sv/bitcoin-sv repository because they point to even further act-of-violence misleading copies of the spoofed whitepaper:
Oops, and also make sure Bitcoin ABC is not mentioned anywhere. That was clearly a fork of our precious original Bitcoin SV and it should not look like our code is based on a fork of a fork.
All the best to everyone! We are here on this Earth together. There will be less environmental impact of crypto-mining if we forgot all the copies and would focus just on the one and original Bitcoin SV, the Satoshi Vision.
