So if those claims have already been rejected a few month ago , why is everybody freaking now?
Because it was "Refiled" and possibly amended? Because they are still attempting to patent it?
Just because claims have been rejected doesn't mean that they don't possess technology. Is it vaporware? I dunno.
Those dismissing patent because its from 1999 should also dismiss the U.S. Constitution because its from 1787 (and i'm sure that there are many who would like to).
Bitcoin has been around since 2008/2009. Do I dismiss latest generation of Android because Android 1.0 was created in September 2008 like Bitcoin?
The fact that JPM technology dates back to 1999 means they had that many more years to improve the underlying tech.
However at the end of the day, all this lends credibility to Bitcoin.
