it’s the real attack on all open source/free software https://twitter.com/digitalnaut/status/1628775636482379776

🤬
lol how can such a miserable human being exist
Generally it requires congenital predilection to psychopathy and childhood abuse.
Wow 😡. Why would they do that?
Hiw can this guy still look into the mirror 🤮
What can we do to counter this, as individuals?
They will attack. BTC doesn’t care about.
Fuck that guy!
PLEBS STRONG TOGETHER 💯🤝
Jack I Hope COPA can fight bravely
Jack, can these 4 or 5 maintainers left destroy the protocol if compromised?
We still need to update whatever they suggest, they can't like 1 click bring down BTC.
Didn't think so. Any major change to the protocol would need 51%+ to agree correct?
I have some old buddies who are under the impression the entire protocol is in the hands of these devs and say the trust in the protocol is overvalued. I keep tellin them to stop believing headlines but I couldnt explain why that wasn't the case
Let me find this podcast which I recently listened about this!
Here we go:
[Bitcoin.Review Podcast with NVK & Guests] BR025 - Demystifying and Understanding Bitcoin Core Development ft. Sjors, Schmidty & James O'Beirne #bitcoinReviewPodcastWithNvkGuests
They explain just that in this podcast!
Using the same tactics Russian warlords used in U.K. courts too
Craig Wright can eat a dick. He can't stop all of us!
He has family, property, a body. Just keep those things in mind when "Rich" people hassle a large group of people.
Is COPA helping and how so?
Ridiculous. Hopefully the contributors can maintain some level of anonymity in future so they can't be bullied in these ways.
What an 🆔iot!
How do we sue Craig wright for being a fucking asshole.

What a nut job
Craig Wright is a government agent.
Nostr GitHub helps fix this.
What dev? We just have a regularly contributing key pair.
Needed.
Point is that bitcoin is a law grey zone, and satoshi disappeared for good. So as soon the real satoshi does not show up and bitcoin does not fire him, he will remain satoshi until proved otherwise fir the law.
From that assumption he basically can do whatever he wants in this blackhole for years...
Never surrender 🫡
I couldn't pick a better hill to die on 🧡⚔️💜

The UK legal system is an embarrassment. How it can allow a serial perjurer to continue to harras and threaten others just because they can afford the legal costs is beyond me.
IDK which is worse, Faketoshi or the legal system that makes this possible.
Fud
Lies, lies and yet more lies. #GFY #CSW.
Quite rather wish CSW gets declared as Satoshi, GFY on his 'lost' keys, followed by cease and desist orders from state agencies telling him to exercise CEO powers and shut off #Bitcoin. And let's see how much he likes being Satoshi then. Am I the only crazy one to think this way?
#[0]
CSW isn't going to win. He's just going to burn through millions of Calvin Ayre's fortune, carelessly hurting other people in service of his delusion.
True. CSW is what's technically known as a clinical narcissistic dumbfux. Unfortunately an all too common human affliction 😞
May God (or Allah or Buddha) be with him and illuminate his path...
He might not be winning, but “he can cause his victims millions of dollars in legal costs, phenomenal impositions on their time and privacy, and great psychological stress”, as former Bitcoin dev stated here:
Yes. CSW is like a 100-year flood of bullshit that the UK legal system is too cocked-up to deal with. He's an exploit that hurts innocent people, and because he's in the company of monied oligarchs who LIKE the way the UK legal system works, he slides right through it.
Satoshi nakamota CSW is against decentralization
Why are they leaving, what do these guys have against the core devs?
Because some men would rather legally harass and financially bury developers than go to therapy.
Craig Wright is an absolute lunatic that has convinced a nincompoop billionaire to fund his courtroom adventurism to the ends of "proving" he is Satoshi Nakamoto, and is owed all of Satoshi's coins through court order.
If you have no clue what I'm talking about, check out the podcast "Dr. Bitcoin".
Will do, thank you !!
What a lunatic.
With all due respect, CSW and Ayre can eat shit.
No respect is due to these floating pieces of barely-human filth.
What reduces the impact on core devs? Any strategies you foresee to protect them or does everything need to move to DIDs?
Why is this guy so miserable? Imagine being a member of his family 🤢
All devs going forward should be nyms.
Those two bozos can't do nearly the damage that a couple of bureaucrats can.
Do we wave anything like a decentralized github? I saw something like that in ZeroNet, but it would be nice if it was available in our main net.

Git is an open source protocol. Nostr is an open source protocol. Torrenting is an open source data distribution method. Run git over any or all combinations. Why not
What a miserable prick
Thank you for creating COPA
Making synchronization of code versions and developer interactions censorship-resistant and keeping developers' real identities hidden can solve this. @jack bountied a project for this.
To whoever is going to build this, please consider using the following as part of the solution:
Wrap monetary support in coders with a Fedimint community to prevent following the money trail to them.
Have Nostr-authenticated developers use a Nostr-compatible git client to push to and pull from Nostr-authenticated git suppliers using Nostr relays as a communication layer.
For a more elaborate explanation, please see and remark in this google document:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z96XpTtrUvrFZYPjMzlT5JuE41HF6X5vI99lvImVCvU/
It also demonstrate a major failure of the UK justice system.

This is why developers of anti-establishment tech should remain anonymous/synonymous.
How can we end his prosecutions?
COPA Twitter not updated, no word from The Coalition on legal countermeasures (right?) no one is reaching out to Flake and others pledging total gratis legal defence, and lest there be any doubt, The Coalition to defend Bitcoin has sufficient funds to make a pledge like this, and pay it, being made up of the biggest companies and names in Bitcoin who are wealthy enough to make such a pledge. What’s going on, and why won’t anyone lead the charge in this? It’s equally worrying and disappointing.
We’re leading the charge with both COPA and Bitcoin Developer Defense Fund. COPA case is going to take time, and the defense fund meets every two weeks (we just met today) and had a setback in our strategy. Rethinking it and execution.
You are a great human being doing great things for the future of humanity jack!
Thank you for the zap friend! Followed!
Super interesting. What are the names of the firm(s) COPA is using to do all of this work, and are they known killers? Everyone knows about Ontier, but no one knows the law firms of COPA. Are COPA proactively gathering Arthur Van Pelt’s copious proof of fraud to disseminate and weaponise it? Who is doing COPAs PR? Does COPA have a team of Patent lawyers actively working to challenge and strike down Faketoshi’s fraudulent Patent applications and reverse the incorrectly granted ones? So many questions…
COPA is represented by Bird & Bird in lawsuit against Craig Wright. Case going well from what I understand. There are limits on what evidence UK courts will consider but truth will come out as the case works its way through. The lawsuit pushes on Craig Wright’s fundamental claim that he’s Satoshi as the main claim of the lawsuit because it’s a copyright case about whether he authored the white paper.
This.
Just realizing we need to be more transparent here and for developer defense fund. We talked about this today. Will fix.
This is defense fund announcement. And where we had a setback in tulip case. https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-January/019741.html
Cool!
What a fucking amazing thing you've done for Bitcoin. Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund.
Is this fund only for legal protection of developers in the US or all over the world
😎
zapped ⚡️888 respect 🫡
💜🫂💜
Where can we donate to support the fund?
Blue wallet cannot withdraw all lightning coins. Who can help? It is seriously hurting Bitcoin and lightning and nostr
Great move. Gives further hope and belief in the bright future.
This is not about “transparency”. No one (especially judges) reads Mailman mailing lists; the courts don’t exist in the developers RTFM world; they’re not reading Arthur Van Pelt’s threads on the other place.
Yes, transparency may be the missing link. COPA is a shield to protect those who BUIDL open source technology. It is helping remove the illusion that developers have to walk through legal battles alone. In protecting developers, COPA is also helping protect Satoshi's work and memory. It is helping preserve freedom technology for present and future generations.
Today, these battles are to protect bitcoin development. Tomorrow, they may be about shielding those working on #nostr or any other technology empowering and freeing people across the globe...
It may feel like these legal battles are strong giants growing and feeding on fear, division, ignorance, misinformation, disinformation, and that illusion of being "alone". They are time wasters and energy drainers.
However, they are giants only when we fail to see that the need for freedom and truth is universal. It lives and breathes within each of us, because we are human. Lies, on the other hand, are full of holes. They are difficult and costly to maintain. They have no room in places where hope, education, and empowerment thrive.
COPA's perspective goes far beyond a single piece of the technological puzzle. That wide view could help strengthen the bridges interconnecting the various hubs of open source development. COPA could help empower open source contributors, even ahead of any legal battles, by linking communities to share information on privacy, security, human rights, legal rights, debunking fake information, the many ways technology is supporting freedom...
100% Projection and cult recitation.
fake satoshi is a psychopath financed by the same criminals who finance psychopath and mass murderer bill gates
B&B are doing a woefully inadequate job of promoting and executing the case. That’s clear by the information vacuum that Faketoshi’s team was filling with PR. Actual legal PR firms were retained to make sure the public knew everything about his side.
B&B is no way near aggressive enough; and is not thinking globally, strategically or with an aim to discredit, destroy, humiliate and ruin Faketoshi.
We’re definitely evaluating whether we have the right team. Isn’t most of the press coming from his own coingeek site?
Bitcoin will survive with or without developers or courts or jurisdictions and thanks for mr wright for pointing it out to everyone! Relax jack!
Yes. CG runs ads on twitter, facebook, google
Thanks 👍 best wishes
You can succumb to fighting the fiat battle, better still that you step aside and let the protocol win. Let all developers run away and the protocol wins
Time to end the Calvin+Craig lies. Been too long. Ethics and lawyer firepower should fix this. Most plebs can't, but many billionaires who claim to love Bitcoin sure can.
Where can one contribute to the BDDF?
Have you ever considered the damage done by your company Twitter in concert with Facebook and Google when all three of you banned all advertising by any businesses involved in Bitcoin, hardware for bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency industries in 2018?
Your virtue signalling here is worthless, and show how ignorant you are. You’d be far better off contributing something useful by helping others, rather than engaging in British Socialist “eat the rich” performance art. This isn’t Question Time, you’re not on TV; you’re not David Dimbleby. This is real life, not a game.
Lol. While we have removed Twitter from our suit, we can and will add them back after we establish liability.
We were in court two weeks ago in Australia's Federal Court against Meta and Google fighting interlocutory motions. We have already established a prima facie case and a judgement determining a public interest in the case.
As I said, your virtue signaling is worthless, posturing and doesn’t help humanity. Australian courts have no jurisdiction over Americans or American incorporations, so the disease is very well contained. In the end Jack must win over little people like you, otherwise no one is safe. And you stalking him here is simply pathetic.
And how do you know that Australian courts don't have "jurisdiction" over American corporations which do business in Australia?
Because two weeks ago I was sitting next to Barristers acting for Meta Inc and Google who were both instructed by the US corps. In fact neither even tried to resist the Australian court's authority.
And yes, Australian courts can and have heard cases from world wide plaintiffs for infringements of Australian law.
I spend my time building but I also help with this case. Before Jack became a btc fan he did enormous damage.
You are not a builder, you are a destroyer. You are a jealous Socialist anti-rich activist, who, being a failure as a software developer, take out your frustrations on people who are successful.
You are also not a Bitcoiner. Bitcoiners understand the free market, and that Jack’s Twitter served people on Twitter’s terms that they could ether accept or refuse. You have no right to appoint yourself as Grand Protector of Australia to force foreign companies to serve others. Forcing people to serve others is slavery. Why are you for slavery?
You are no better than the fraudster Faketoshi, weapoinising the courts to hurt other people. You are a perverter of justice, a LARPer and a public menace.
It is my sincere hope that your efforts come to nothing, and the people you are attacking make you totally irrelevant. But keep working to promote Bitcoin, genius, sine that’s what that was designed to do!
Respect 🫡
Go pound sand, “Australian”. https://twitter.com/ReadGabNews/status/1629125707539283969?s=20
You are the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit brought against Meta & Google where you’ve represented *yourself* for the past couple of years on behalf of the “entire crypto industry”.
You have a case pending.
You are way out of line to personally confront Jack in this hostile manner.
You do not have the right to stalk bully and harass Jack and threaten him with frivolous lawsuits!!
The “entire crypto industry” is a scam.
FTX and several other crypto companies have destroyed countless American lives and also of those all across the globe.
The damage caused by these scamming “crypto” companies not even including Three Arrows (3AC) , Terra, LUNA, Genesis filing bankruptcy, the now massive FTX collapse is rampant and insurmountable.
See. This is why I respond this way!!
People have no idea what cute Jack has to deal with.💜🫂💜
Also, nostr is an amazing community but everyone still needs to be on guard & extremely cautious.💜🧡
What's your hard on for defending a (former?) monopolist from a question?
Btw my friend is the lead plaintiff not me. I'm a class member and I've worked on the filings with him.
Jack isn't personally liable, unfortunately Elon bought the liability.
Jack banned any bitcoin company from advertising within weeks he did promote BTC purchase via his own app. You think he needs your protection from a question?
This class action pertains to “the entire crypto industry” per your class action lawsuit not Bitcoin.
You’re just trying to capitalize on Bitcoin’s stability and success at the last minute.
This is *not * a Bitcoin case!! It is a crypto case!!
As an aside, precedent has long been established on how the US gov’t views crypto’s “pump & dump” industry.
The SEC has fined countless celebrities for failing to disclose that they were paid for the sole purpose of promoting crypto. They were all clueless regarding the imminent rug pulls.
I forgot all about the EthereumMAX’s massive “EMAX Token” rug pull.
As of now, currently stemming from the recent FTX collapse a few cases are being heard to hold celebrities who outright endorse & promote crypto companies fully accountable for losses.
This is interesting to me. I’m watching these cases closely. The rulings in these matters would set a whole new precedent going forward.
⚠️This statement was issued by the SEC back in *2017* warning the public regarding the unlawful promotion of “crypto”.
https://www.sec.gov/news/public-statement/statement-potentially-unlawful-promotion-icos
There was *ZERO* representation of crypto ads during the Super Bowl this year -a stark contrast from the year before.
Even the crypto companies themselves acknowledge they have no business advertising.
People have personally lost billions upon billions of dollars of their life savings and investments in less than a year with crypto companies .
https://sports.yahoo.com/zero-representation-crypto-ads-years-174750101.html
Facebook declared every company or product dealing with Bitcoin even including ASIC mining equipment and hardware wallets to be "frequently associated with misleading and deceptive practices" in their terms and conditions banning advertising in Jan 2018.
Google and Twitter followed on.
That same month Facebook started its now failed Libra project in secret.
You think that's fine and not an abuse of monopoly power in online advertising?
I don't.
Yes it is fine, and in the Bitcoin world that’s coming, people like you will not be able to force other people to carry messages they don’t want to carry.
You are unethical, have a twisted view of reality and you will be stopped in the end.
Have you considered the good he did by adapting Lightning within Cash App to millions of users?
Thank you for doing something Jack. It makes a difference to me.
Analysis from a Bitcoiner: “Ayre's strategy is incredibly savage. Coingeek are masters of SEO; I frequently get their content when I do perfectly normal bitcoin related searches now. He has skilled PR people hired full-time operating sockpuppets around the globe. He has technical people writing patent applications in Wright's name and doing mail order degrees for him. This is the criminal underworld we are dealing with.
Beautyon has a point – there's nothing in the bitcoin community that matches Ayre's operation. Nobody they sue should have to beg for donations to defend themselves, or just quit out of exasperation. We're out here sending sats to hodlonaut so he can barely afford some cheap representation while Faketoshi brings nine seasoned lawyers and stays in one of the most expensive hotel suites in the country. Where are all the big "crypto" companies? Ayre is highly organized and incredibly well funded, and our best people are having biweekly meetings and realizing only now their strategy is shit.”
👏👏👏
Dr.
Crazy
And the courts keep allowing it. Despite the thousands of hours of work put in by the community to debunk, document and archive all the lies. Sad.
The courts are part of the attack. This is fiat fighting for survival by any means necessary. “Law” is their only recourse. It is their domain.
Keep fighting!
disgusting, really.
Can one not provide code anonymously?
All bitcoin devs need to be fully pseudonymous like Satoshi.
All Core developers are being summed to court, and if they lose, they will all be forced to comply with CSW
#[3]
I’m starting to think that he died in a volcano and was replaced by chatGPT’s dismantled brother loreGPT.
Just have all future devs be anonymous nyms? Will that help?
I am trying to raise awareness over in HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34932594
We have another 7 years to make bitcoin stick to the streets. Meaning a billion daily engaged users, citizens.
14 yrs of trying to replace banks with wallets while key talent runs off to tokenville and retail getting wrecked each cycle has left us scrambling. Now we have our best generals fighting off poop slinging clowns in court to protect our dwarven engineers. This is all out asymmetrical warfare. The enemy is united, highly aggressive and has a monolithic leadership. We need a paradigm shift and a new narrative to get the momentum behind us, yet we are not even facing in the same direction. P2P is not enuf against this cohesive virus. We need more
The paradigm shift is nostr.
This is where the bitcoin digital economy will be built. Every keypair that has a lightning wallet is part of that economy, every new service adds utility and every new user adds to the network effect.
This place needs to be built up in parallel to fiat falling apart, it’s the lifeboats to get people out of the mess.
