I don’t think you understand what trademark infringement is.

No. I am not sure how I could have been more clear in my post..

I am no expert on IP law, however I don’t think this would be an infringement. The infringement, if one exists would be from the use of “in code we trust” on the backside of the coin (he didn’t use your actual coin, did he? If so then I don’t think there is any grounds to argue infringement) where it said “in code we trust” and similar.

As I mentioned previously, additional research needs to be done on IP law to give an opinion one way or another.

Cases of trademark infringement are rarely open and shut and as such these types of disputes can result in litigation, the outcome of which is often unclear until a ruling has been made.

Theymos’ libertarian believes do not give a lot of weight to IP.

I don’t think it is clear that a trademark was infringed upon anyway. I would need to research IP laws to get a make a more authoritative statement on this.

Thank you. That was exactly what I needed to know

So for clarification, you have no specific accusation that you would consider "baseless". Is this correct? If not, please point to the specific accusation. Thanks.

a very simple solution to this would be to disallow these types of symbols throughout the forum. Or at the very least in the english sections, in which there is absolutely no reason to need to use them. 

I'm sorry, what is the baseless accusation that I "threw out". I will be sure to quickly back it up with facts and un-refutable  proof.

Owlcatz has said in the past that he uses telegram, including today.

I understand that OgNasty was saying that owlcatz was one of a small number of people that 'have it out for' OgNasty that use telegram.

Also, owlcatz was part of an extortion conspiracy, which IMO shows he is willing to break the law for financial benefits.

It appears as if other third parties (assuming owlcatz is not lying about the whole ideal) are making the conclusions themselves that owlcatz was the one attempting to impersonate OgNasty attempting a MITM escrow scam.

Also, OgNasty never threatened to call the police on owlcatz, he encouraged telegram to forward information about the actual MITM escrow scammer to the police. Owlcatz later said that he was threatened with police action.

What, are you going to try to extort me too? Or are you going to leave that to lauda?

I don't pay extortion demands, sorry.

Oh wow, it looks like owlcatz might be a serial scammer. First conspiring to extort people with lauda, TMAN and others, and now he is trying to impersonate extremely trusted escrow agents on Telegram. Maybe it wasn't him directly, maybe it was someone in his close group.

This certainly does not look good for him.

Your behavior and interactions with him clearly shows you were conspiring with lauda (and others) to attempt to extort at least one person.

I am not wrong. If anyone has any questions about if there is truth to this, see the below screenshot:

Well to be fair, you were part of an extortion conspiracy, so it would probably be a good idea to avoid doing any kind of business with you.

Considering how many shill accounts one of your extortion parters have, I would expect a lot of shills backing you

They are not baseless accusations. Lauda strongly implied that I was right upthread.

Do you not notice how many proxy sales there are?

My source is not important. I am not wrong though, you can ask the relevant parties if you don't believe me.

I would note that Lauda was also bragging about not paying taxes on his moderator income, and he was not specifying about US taxes.

A well connected node is another word for hub and spoke...

Also, why don't you explain a topology that could exist in LN that would not result in LN payments failing due to LN peer node downtime? I don't think there is one.
