I am Pro FOSS to the highest degree.

The reason I worded Q1 as a clone is because of how NVK has attacked foundation claiming the same & then moving away from FOSS.

As far as you not reading the links about the unpaid bounties that are well documented & tagging NVK instead says it all.

Trust, Don't Verify.

As far as reciepts go, I have posted all of them here before - I'll find it for you & post when I get a chance.

Should've bookmarked it.

It’s ok, I believe you have the receipts. If it’s true it only harms them and that will show in the quality of their products. Consumers like myself mainly care about quality of products, I don’t need to like everything NVK does. But by all means confront him and the VCs backing Coinkite

Definitely, I'm a quality maximalist so long as I'm not sacrificing what's most important.

That's why I don't use their products.

I’m aware NVK has referred to the foundation device as a clone of the coldcard, but he is not a FOSS maximalist. It’s weird seeing FOSS maximalists use those terms when they are contradictory to the FOSS ethos that’s all.

Yes, I didn’t click all the links that’s why I said “I didn’t know about the bounty stuff”, as in for all I know it’s true, but I don’t have time to click all those links and go down that rabbit hole. I didn’t make a comment denying the validity of those accusations.

I tagged NVK in a separate paragraph in case I was misrepresenting his stance on QR and why they are just now enabling it on their hardware. I didn’t tag him so he could defend your accusations. For all I know he could care less and would tell you to cry harder.

Seems like you didn’t understand what I said or meant at all, but all good.

It's not contradictory, it's the truth.

Is it not a clone of the design?

I have no issue with people using FOSS code for their projects.

I have an issue with people who muddy the waters & pretend they produce innovation when they are just ripping others, then accusing them of the act of "cloning".

I will use the words produced by NVK without any omission, & respond in kind.

I'll find the receipts of his real time FUD campaigns & post them here for you to read.

I advise you to read those links as a user.

Happy hodling.
