I do not think having a not unique design makes it a good idea to send a false TRADEMARK violation claim. Apparently “BTClock” is infringing on the “blockclock” trademark
So can my raspberry pi with a screen attached. See my foss nodeyez.com project, a suitable use for raspberry pi devices when people upgrade their nodes. it can even run on a pi zero
seems nostr:nprofile1qqs9v9et20mnqagtgrnrc5qmzcrgmkt2y3087p23vawqlmyczlhfdcqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7wq5uga sued the btcclock project someway.
Btcclock trying to do a sort off blockclock, the clock from coinkite, but fully FOSS and buildable with generic hardware. Btcclock is mostly speech.

Coinkite is leveraging gubment power to prevent an obvious knockoff competitor from succeeding.
The knockoff and Coinkite are being douchey.
Panties are twisted. Some are never going to buy a coldcard (again). Some recognize the legal right to do that. Others are discussing the trashy IP laws on the books.
🤷♂️
People can still buy the parts and the source code can be hosted elsewhere. BTClock should have gone with a unique design.
This was harder to articulate than I thought it would be😂
So usually, if someone passes the ball to someone that’s behind enemy defense players, it’s an offside. Let’s say Messi is lurking a couple of feet behind the most defensive opposing player. If someone else passes the ball to him, he can’t catch the ball because he was offside when the pass was done. He’d have to be right beside the defensive player or in front of him at the time of the pass to be onside. Does that make any sense to you?
Okay so TL;DR
Coinkite makes blockclock mini and sells it for $400, closed source
nostr:npub1k5f85zx0xdskyayqpfpc0zq6n7vwqjuuxugkayk72fgynp34cs3qfcvqg2 makes a similar DIY device that is fully open source named BTClock
They get harassed at launch by Coinkite
It goes well for a while, then Coinkite takes down their Github by claiming trademark infringement because BTClock is too similar to Blockclock
I don’t know. But that would be remarkable.

I think someone said the blockclock made a racist remark when price hit $88,888 USD
I dont have one of this, but if its so good why coincuck needs to sue the cheaper foss one? To protect costumer from open scary cheap foss clocks? Thanks for keeping the market safer for all 🙏🙏🙏😭
What’s the block clock drama?
Correct! Well done! Haha he’s excited to watch the end tonight
What's the purpose of supporting open dimes ? You can display the balance on the clock ?
#Bitcoin is more than just code, it's a shift in how we think about money and freedom. A decentralized future where we control our value.
