+Please Peter Todd explain here all what you want to say about a patent of a
+hardware design for an ASIC.
+
+Remember that ASICBoost is not the only patent out there, there are at
+least three similar patents, filed by major Bitcoin ASIC manufacturers in
+three different countries, on similar technologies.
+
+That suggest that the problem is not ASICBoot's: you cannot blame any
+company from doing lawful commerce in a FREE MARKET.
+
+It is a flaw in Bitcoin design that could be corrected if the guidelines I
+posted in [1] had been followed.
