What a difference just a few weeks makes. I count 84 cases now dropped, both granted and pending. It looks like something happened at the end of 2024 and nChain has been busy scaling down their patenting activities since then. My guess is that things are being trimmed as part of the transfer to Teranode and the patent cases being got rid of are those considered not relevant. image View quoted note →

Yeah i vaguely remember you saying as much in your podcast. Ayre has always been the most important, and least understandable part of the story. A random psycho isn't especially interesting. I remember quipping on irc, back when all this started, that given Calvin was on an interpol list and Craig was in trouble with the tax office, these were the perfect people to "turn" to set up a psyop. I was only like 80% joking at the time, but of course it's ridiculous at this point. Which just leaves me endlessly bewildered by Ayre's behavior.
I think there is a lot more that could be said about Ayre but unfortunately he’s quite litigious and I’m not going any further than what is clearly on the public record.
