there is if it is active use 

 trademark law is different to patent law as you can use a name for how long as long as you want before registration, and you still have some rights 

 there is also blockclockapp.com, which was registered before Coinkite’s “blockclock” trademark, and that alongside the DIY Bitcoin Block Clock will most likely render their trademark invalid 

 Blockclock is closed source AFAIK 

 You can customize how that turns out unlike the proprietary Coinkite BLOCKCLOCK

Dropping the USD/BTC ticker, or showing as $100K, so on 

 Coldcard is “source available” not open source (you can’t use it for “commercial purposes”) 

 You cannot use Apple Pay directly and must use a payment processor
Just don’t 

 You do not have to pay Apple for this
Just use Stripe 

 You can use Apple Pay through Stripe 

 Use Elements? 

 Go to “payment method domains”
Add your domain 

 Did you verify it with Apple Pay by putting a file in /.well-known 

 it stores the last 10 revisions 

 go to hist.nostr.land to start recovery if it is within the last 10 revisions 

 It is not.
It is sheer developer incompetence and the issues with relay reliability on most ones 

 A very simple fix exists
Store a copy of the follow list locally and don’t accept any older than that from relays

Reduces rollback impact significantly 

 The problem is software is not static and cannot be

You need to update it as the userbase scales and the environment changes, if that was not true, we could just not have NostrDB and still use Branle

You also forgot the human cost of operating servers and the gap in user count 

 I would not believe Nostr is cheaper to operate on a per user basis with little emphasis on cost and performancd optimization and redundant infrastructure. 

 the truth is that opensats is burning money on gimmick projects 

 language detection is the primary issue 

 Check markings on the outside of the cable 

 Probably Primal 

 Because Nostr doesn’t make everyone suddenly immune to false information or intentional deception 

 that would be great
only if that happened 

 I do not understand how those two are related 

 Except nothing said this system could not be built on a WoT — not a follow based one but actual trust 

 Not like they wouldn’t push back against this 

 not true 

 knowing an IP is about as useful as knowing a PO box 

 Because these charities are ran by people with conflicts of interest 

 I prefer self-hosting Git. Those options are more mature than most Nostr options, and with federation being implemented in Forgejo (which is a perfect use case for federated protocols) I see that it is the best option.

I am considering implementing Nostr sign-in as an external IdP if the need arises. 

 And there are some things that can never be mistakes 

 I prefer making my own 

 The vulnerability doesn’t make sense though.

Sure, someone can clone your YubiKey.
But they can also just tap to log into any website they want without cloning it if they stole it. 

 No. You can already do that without an attack if you use resident keys. (aka passkeys *without* a username)

This only means that someone with your PIN and extended access can clone it. 

 I did 

 Automated tuning software? 👀 

 That was what I was trying to say. Could be interesting to have one.

The problem is I do not have a Bitaxe. 😅 

 Signers at discounted cost in exchange for a Bitaxe? 😆 

 Patent your design then 

 Truly… the problem is they still use broken SEs 

 You do not need to be that to understand that having a device that has a weak chip is a bad idea 

 Trademarks are a useful tool when people try to do affinity scams or other things.

This is none of that. This is just abuse of the law (with most likely no legal basis either) to take down competitors. 

 If someone pretends they are affiliated with your product for example when they are not, for example.

Or when someone tries to use your branding for their own product that you don’t endorse.

 Okay so TL;DR

Coinkite makes blockclock mini and sells it for $400, closed source

@djuri makes a similar DIY device that is fully open source named BTClock

They get harassed at launch by Coinkite

It goes well for a while, then Coinkite takes down their Github by claiming trademark infringement because BTClock is too similar to Blockclock 

 Mostly… self hosting also works and in the case of Git, I do not see any benefit for Nostr over self hosting as most projects have centralized leadership 

 Discovery on Nostr is not a bad idea, though.

And identity. It would solve having to create an account for each instance. 

 git over HTTP and NIP-93 or whatever it was 

 you could do access control 

 Build a BTClock :)

Only if Coinkite didn’t make it harder to do so 

 I do not think having a not unique design makes it a good idea to send a false TRADEMARK violation claim. Apparently “BTClock” is infringing on the “blockclock” trademark 

 noticed your follow list got wiped
restore it at https://hist.nostr.land :) 

 Check your Signal DMs 

 x.com -> xcancel.com 

 I could have just used a JavaCard and been the same as other products already out there. But then what’s the point?

Big things are coming 👀 

 Also the aluminum case :) 

 This is what happens when you see forks as something to be embraced and not something to be shut down, especially when your views disagree 

 they rely too much on their big margins 

 I’m most likely going to be offering a SE chip for hardware wallets with specific features that allows building DIY designs on top of it and offers higher security than some of the common choices.

So, that could become easier too. 

 Was before Coinkite took it down with a trademark claim 

 https://btclock.store is still up 

 I do not agree fully with throwing it fully out, but current IP regulation means that it is easy to abuse.

Trademarks provide protection against someone pretending to be affiliated with you or your products. 

 Resubmit with it added, I’ll remove it. Or if you used your nym it’s fine, just DM me your Telegram/Signal handle. 

 they even renamed the trezor libs… shame

there is nothing wrong with building on other products 

 If we have a quantum soft fork, will we also not have a block size increase soft fork? 

 fact

they posted it themselves in a Telegram channel initially
