Go see for yourself https://github.com/btclock Their org was taken down because “BTClock” is allegedly too similar to “BLOCKCLOCK” and they would think BTClock is a Coinkite product, even though their names are significantly different and they have different approaches (DIY vs closed source commercial) It is likely that Coinkite will sue if BTClock does not comply and take down everything, and sends a counter-claim to GitHub

Bro, the BTClock looks exactly like the Blockclock from Coinkite, down to the the same form factor for display and similar black bezel with gold lettering. It literally looks like a Temu version of the CK one. Why couldn’t djuri reform/redesign the DIY to look definitively different from the original? More people might like the new design and buy them over the Blockclock. Open source is not an excuse for taking original ideas from someone else and producing it cheaper..I don’t know what the difference is between these two. What did djuri add that can be considered adding to the open source code of this project?
