Aren't patent trolls "losers," even if they make money? 

How so? There is a realistic debate to be had centering on the legitimacy of the concept of patents. But 'winners' and 'losers' are only identifiable as such within the context of the rules of the system. So, no: patent owners are by definition winners. At least to the extent to which others may want to employ the patented idea (i.e., even if they make money).

I think that I already explained my position. If you want to value winners based on their ability to get rich by any means, then you can do that.

By the way, didn't you get the memo, jbreher, that there is a certain level of justified hostility against the use of patents in the open source community underlying the "real" bitcoin..

And again with the complete mischaracterization of nChain's patents. They don't underly the "real" bitcoin (be it BSV, BTC, or BCH). They underly things that can interface with the "real" bitcoin (again, be it BSV, BTC, or BCH). Do you mischaracterize thusly because you are dishonest, or merely because you are ignorant?

By the way, didn't you get the memo, JJG, that 'hostility against' is meaningless in a decentralized, permissionless world?

hm?  Craig is one of the good guys, and he is not a fraudster.  I did not get that memo.

We are either going to believe the bullshit of craig wright or spend time researching into the extent to which shit that he proclaims is true.   Yeah, like I want to spend my time doing that.  For now, I will just be safe to consider him as an attack vector based on behaviors and actions that I have already seen from that nutjob.  I doubt it is a good use of time to try to figure out if there is some kind of possible validity in some of the things that he has done or is in the process of doing.  I will leave that to others, including you, if you want to go hang around with seeming fraudsters like that.

WAAY better to wear this shirt when talking to no-coiners. My current strategy of anger and violence is not paying off.

The Virginia Police Department's pension fund is buying into Bitcoin.

Now if it is correct.

A great phrase.

I'm still lagging some 80 pages, although I do try to keep up whenever I can. I guess that's what you get when life calls.

However, I managed to buy ~1 coin over the past week. That's what matters most!

So apparently Trump has declared a national emergency in order to fund the wall. He gets to define what a national emergency is, and forget the 5 billion for the wall, he went with 8 billion.

Top negotiator in teh white house.

I still feel like I have connections to FIAT. It is hard to leave everything behind and go full crypto. Takes courage.

I'm aware of some extreme cases that have already done so, but it's not really an option to go full on crypto. Not yet anyway.
Extremities are never good. Take r0ach as an example.

Lol at talking about a permissionless world and meanwhile believing patents hold merit.

Two different systems, each governing different spheres of activity.

While we don't all get a chance to write the rules, we all must live within them.

And yet these two "systems" are not so separate as you try to make them appear, are they?

I dunno. How similar is a frog to an apple?

Would you be honest enough to criticize Craig, if you knew he was wrong?

Sure. He's already made a lot of bone headed statements already. No, I'm not going to enumerate them.

What's that got to do with the nexus between open source and patents? Or Craig challenging JPM on a patent infringement issue, for that matter? Unless you want to make the claim that nChain has not a patent infringed upon by JPM. Which may be the case- I don't know. But my suspicion is that Craig's claim -- at least in this case -- may indeed be true. He can't simultaneously have a mound of patents (for which core sycophants regularly excoriate him), and not have any patents.

I don't have anything to add to the patent discussion. I just find it curious that you always rush to Craig's defense.

Anyone taking this seriously anymore?

Will an ETF approval make a huge difference at this point anymore? We already seem to be finding other workarounds. Favoritism towards gold is pushing the ETF approval in the first place. People seem to be hoping it will have the same effect for BTC as it did for gold. Bitcoin has zero actual need for an ETF

This will bring nocoiners on board for sure but those who already know bitcoin for them etf approval means nothing. We already know and trust bitcoin.

You can post your desired pics here for community voting, I guess that will help for you too.

I am still too far for a hat but I always dream I will wear that someday too here.

Gentlemen, what do you think which of these pictures would look better on a hat?

Let's do some of them anyway

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Craig_Wright

    Wright's claimed PGP key was provably backdated. [1][2]
    He was paid millions of dollars by nTrust to 'reveal' himself as Satoshi (this is for those who think he lacked motive)[3]
    Signature claimed to prove him to be Satoshi was worthless. [4]
    Second claimed "signature" was also an obvious forgery. [5]
    N-th claimed "signature" was yet another obvious forgery. [6]
    Faked blog posts showing his early involvement in bitcoin. [7]
    Craig Wright is apparently using his fame to run an advance-fee scam.[8]
    Incorrectly calling it "Bit Coin" several times in 2011. [9]
    Gross technical incompetence. [10][11][12]
    No evidence of any C++ proficiency.
    Plagiarizism[13]
    If Craig Wright really was the creator of Bitcoin, the proof would be trivial. We see an example by Charlie Lee the creator of Litecoin[14]

Again... Relevance as to the matter on JPM potentially infringing on nChain patents?
