- dane-pgp 9y agoRick Falkvinge wrote an interesting article today about the SegWit patent situation: https://falkvinge.net/2017/05/01/blockstream-patents-segwit-makes-pieces-fall-place/ https://falkvinge.net/2017/05/01/blockstream-patents-segwit-...
- mquander 9y agoI read that one, but... there's no evidence given there that Blockstream actually has any patents on any of this, right? It's just an idea that the author invented. It looks like Blockstream said they didn't have any patents, applications, etc. which would make it fairly surprising if they did (since they aren't going to remain secret for long). I get that the author is describing that Blockstream's behavior to promote Segwit is evidence, but did that need an explanation? Their business gets way easier if Segwit turns on. Of course they would like to promote it.
