I am wondering if this guy is actually deluded, or if there is something more to it. He's clearly not doing it for the YouTube views. What could possibly be the motivation for continuing with such an obviously wrong take on the Faketoshi court proceedings? Wright lost because he lied about being Satoshi and was then found in contempt of court for pursuing a claim that he had been specifically ordered not to. It's hard to see how not turning up in court for your own contempt hearing could be a 'gangster move'. Seems more like sheer cowardice to me.

Clue No. 7:

Oh look, someone has filed a response to nChain's appeal in the Faketoshi02 patent revocation case at the European Patent Office. They don't think much of the appellant's grounds. I wonder what the Board of Appeal will think?

nChain hasn't filed a new patent application since 14 August 2024. Have they run out of inventions?

The prize fund has now been increased to 300k sats.

Clue No. 6 - an easy one I tell the orchestra what to play I carry electrons on their way I check your ticket on the train I think the meaning is quite plain

Clue No. 5 will be *oming as soo* as som*one lets me know t*ey h*ve fou*d at least one of th* words.

Clue No. 4: A mechanism to squeeze Don Draper’s output.

The prize fund has now been increased to 250k sats.

Clue No. 3, and a change of tack: My start is when you rest your rear My middle you may well mishear When Prince sings what could not compare And my end is what you did to esculent fare

The total of European patent cases filed by nChain (and which have published) has now reached 652, the latest one appearing just yesterday. The proven liar and fraud Craig Wright (who can't even code) still features heavily as inventor on many of the applications that are still being pursued. An increasing number of applications are, however, being dropped by either failure to pay a renewal fee or respond to a communication issued by the EPO. Whether this is simply a cost-saving measure as the money gradually runs out or something else is not clear yet.

Clue No. 2 I’m caught in an umbrella but not in the rain I fall in Spain and also on the plain I am always short and never long I don’t believe but do belong I’m caught in a lie but not in the truth I’m at the end but not long in the tooth

I wrote 12 words in a copy of The Bitcoin Standard 2 years ago. Sadly, the contents remain unclaimed. Maybe I should offer some clues here so someone can win it.

I am working on putting together a response to the grounds of appeal filed earlier this month by nChain's patent attorneys. The grounds are so poorly argued and full of deliberate obfuscation that it's a very difficult to stop myself from being insulting. I must, however, remain professional and gently but firmly point out to the Board of Appeal how the appellant is completely wrong. I might, however, manage to work in a few little mentions of the co-inventor Mr Wright being a proven liar and fraud, not that this makes any difference since the patent is invalid regardless.
