Okay so TL;DR
Coinkite makes blockclock mini and sells it for $400, closed source
nostr:npub1k5f85zx0xdskyayqpfpc0zq6n7vwqjuuxugkayk72fgynp34cs3qfcvqg2 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
😲
shouldnt that be fixed by github on nostr?
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
what about discovery?
Discovery on Nostr is not a bad idea, though.
And identity. It would solve having to create an account for each instance.
Lmao
opensats board by day, harassing open source plebs by night

The irony is that the coinkite Blockclock wasn’t even the original block clock .. that was a year or two earlier
