Ronald Keala Kua Maria claiming to be Satoshi and registering trademark.

[xtraelv]

 Not sure whether this should be in the "alts" section. Since the trademark is for "Bitcoin cash".  

Convicted fraudster Ronald Keala Kua Maria applied for the trademark of Bitcoin Cash, and calls himself Satoshi Nakamoto

Wants to charge 2% royalties for transactions over $800

Fascinating that "Satoshi" doesn't know the difference between "bitcoin" and "bitcoin cash".

Knowing a bit about copyright and trademark law - the obvious flaws are quite amusing.

Now that the IRS know who the real Satoshi is.....


Satoshi would never write something like this:



Unfortunately for Ronald the real Satoshi could spell and was a meticulous writer.

The real Satoshi also owns around a million bitcoins - so wouldn't have to bother getting patents of charging a fee.

A convicted fraud named Ronald Keala Kua Maria calls himself as Satoshi Nakamoto and had applied for the trademark of the bitcoin cash. But there is so much confusion about it.

[TonyCharls]

I feel really sorry to know this because in market there is fake product but now fake shatoshi based on this its really sad because we should know the real one also he doesn’t know the difference between coins also so its fully humor I think.

I love how many people claim to be Satoshi.

But even more than that, I love just how few of them (zero) have managed to publicly, and fully verify their identity by signing the wallets from the beginning, that only Satoshi would have had access to.

These clowns just get less and less intelligent seeming. And the guy wants to charge a 2% fee on transactions over 800 dollars?
Yeah. That's why the man (or woman!) created bitcoin. They wanted just a better paypal, where the fees still go to a centralized figure.

That makes sense.
Need to ostracize these impostors, and make sure they know we are onto them. Nothing but 2 bit scammers.

Kua Maria also claims ownership of many domains of BCH related websites, such as thesatoshinakamoto.com, bitcoincopyrights.com, bitcoincashcopyright.com, bchcopyright.com, and others.

On these websites, however, visitors are redirected to the URL of the Kua Maria website, rkm.world, which offers “free basic plans”.
How about your opinion of Ronald Keala Kua Maria.

Domain name squatters are as old as the internet itself. As far as domain names are "first come first serve", then there's really nothing you can do about that. The fact that he claims to be satoshi doesn't give him special access to register anything above anyone else. He is just a troll.

I recently read how someone in uk registered the Bitcoin trademark and this would be a problem to sell merchandise with the bitcoin logo in there and so on.

This is pretty ridiculous but such is the trademark and copyrights world.

that is a strange statement
there is no fully or partly verifying your identity, you either verify it or not and the verification is way too simple. for example by the time CW drama was ongoing, Charlie Lee (creator of LTC) simply signed a message from the LTC genesis block and posted it online for everyone to see and verify. it is that simple.
and there has been zero cases of proof so your in parenthesis zero is right not the "few" contradictory statement

[ZaoXhou]

Ah ok, so he must be able to sign a few addresses satoshi was known to own. 

[earnetheasy]

Thank you for the informative article. I hope that it will clear the differences between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. I hope it will be helpful for everyone.

[Wind_FURY]

Another trolling attempt from the Bitcoin Cash haters, and nothing to take seriously. But why would he stop there? He should register "Bitcoin Classic", "Bitcoin Unlimited", and "Bitcoin ABC" as his trademark as well. Hahaha.

Joking aside, the blockchain world is toxic. When did this "civil war" start, and who started it? Mike Hearn and Gavin Andresen during the "scaling debates"? I believe that issue should be over by now. Segwit was activated for the small blockers, and the big blockers have Bitcoin Cash.

[neymarjunior50]

This is not right. Bitcoin was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin cash was fraudulently forked from bitcoin.

LOL!! Funny how this man named Ronald Keala Kua Maria is claiming he is Satoshi Nakamoto. I am not sure how this is going to affect bitcoin. How this is going to affect his life and his family?

This guy must be a joke! Or somebody that really hate Bitcoin Cash so much! 
There was no copyright in open source community rather then "the authorship".
Even in the GPL license also mention about authorship rather than the "copyright".

[darkangel11]

Satoshi claims rights to Bitcoin Cash instead of Bitcoin? Roger must be so happy. His work finally gets acknowledged by the founder.
And he even wants money for every transaction. Why would a billionaire want a piece of some altcoin?
We should make a MMA cage fight so all these Satoshis can duke it out. First round Craig vs Ronald. The winner will face that horse faced lady that claimed Dorian was the real Satoshi

[Sandus_Cryptolover]

I can only wonder how long this has to go on? Why all these guys want to claim Satoshi Nakamoto as their pseudoname? What actually would happen when the actual Satoshi surface? So much confusion really going on here.

[hukes]

As far as i know this trademark is connect with bitcoin cash. That’s why they register this project. Now wait and see what will happen.

yawn .. old news then

i wonder why people ar bringing up old out of date crap that does not affect the code.
usually this occurs as a distraction from something that does matter that people dont want people talking about..

EG
craig wright craig wright drama was brought up the time of the 2015 consensus roadmap.. then a few months later at the consesus backtracking roadmap. then again as the blame of cash.. when in reality it was a push forward of the core segwit split.

CW is a fraud and not even a coder. so have no clue why people even talk about him. but every time there is a big consensus conference or some new bip that core wants to be trojaned in.. social drama about things unrelated to new code is brought up to distract the community.

all i can guess is that people have lost desire for the CW social distraction and now a new foe has to emerge as the distraction.....
but again this ronald guy.. is just that.. a pointless distraction.

[Captain Crypto Pants]

Everyone loves a conspiracy theory!  That is why it is in the news!  I think that it is fascinating, there is a guy out there with control of 1,000,000 BTC

I'm sure that quite a few governments around the world want to know who he is.  Imagine the spectacle if  someone could actually prove they were in possession of a Million BTC 

[TonyCharls]

This more like a humorous news then one which is more informative to people. We all know how notorious this guy is, and that what he is claiming is in fact all bogus. We are well aware who is the real Satoshi, because Ronald Keala Kua Maria doesn’t know the difference between bitcoin and bitcoinash.

[olubams]

Even people who are more credible than him.in terms of character have tried to lay claim to elthings related to crypto and more importantly claim to be Satoshi but it still didn't fly. What I see here is someone trying to get attention because how can you lay claim to an open source software that does not have anything to do with you in the first place couple with ridiculous claim of wanting a cut out of $800 and above transaction.
