Peter, are you really going to try to down vote a dec= ent free and open-source proposal that benefits all the Bitcoin community i= ncluding=C2=A0
you and your future children because a personal attack t= o me without any logic or basis?

Is that the way you collaborate to= improving Bitcoin?

I just can't believe it.

L= et's open another thread elsewhere to discuss hardware and software pat= ents, and that particular one, if you wish, this is NOT the place.

You need to rectify this dangerous and unethical behavior in a convincing,<= br> legally binding way. I'd suggest looking into Blockstream's patent = pledges as a
way forward:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 https://www.blockstream.com/about= /patent_pledge/

I see no reason to have any further discussion of your proposal until this = is
