Title: Could be all alt-coins in danger? Post by: themte on June 23, 2016, 10:59:29 AM Craig Wright who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, wants to get patents related to cryptocurrency, blockchains etc.
This could affect probably all alt-coins https://news.bitcoin.com/craig-wright-filing-patents/ http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-creator-craig-wright-patents/ http://www.reuters.com/article/us-bitcoin-wright-patents-idUSKCN0Z61GM Title: Re: Could be all alt-coins in danger?

Nakamoto would never have been so naive that he could think that he could use 'slight of hand' deception that Wright attempted on the community with such arrogance. He would understand that he might fool some witless journos but that the community would call him out. Title: Re: Could be all alt-coins in danger?

If Satoshi had patented the idea before releasing Bitcoin, that would have worked (probably) Years later it is stupid to talk about patents. Title: Re: Could be all alt-coins in danger?

Yes it is stupid, nevertheless corporations especially in the United States patent all sorts of ideas that should be should not have been granted a patent. This is because the US patent system is broken. The EFF has been dealing with this issue for years https://www.eff.org/patent-busting (https://www.eff.org/patent-busting) |
