As for finding the application, it is a provisional patent and from my knowledge they are not searchable because they are not public yet. Now I value your input and I am building this application to help the very people and community that are against this action . It wouldn't make sense to go against the general consensus of the very community I am trying to contribute to. Also it is a provisional patent application, so it has an expiration date of 1 year. So being that your opinion is valuable and the community has spoken, it only makes sense to let the application expire. If any possibility of the future threats from financial services I described become real, then I think the prior art argument applies because this issue is very public at this point. Please provide comments and feedback, thank you all.
Yet you still prominently feature this patent application at
http://www.coinsigner.com/Howitworks.htmland claim
"In regards to intellectual property being claimed, the idea behind coinsigner is a unique external system that improves and enables things that were not previously possible in bitcoin and other alt coins. It is important to note that the idea is new, unique and un-obvious combination of processes of doing things that is protected as a defensive measure. Not anything invented by the core developers. "
uncharitable explanation: The patent is for investors to see, the retraction is for the community to see. (but you can't have it both ways)
charitable explanation: you forgot to change the website, it's on the todo list just slipped through the cracks.
hmmm... conspiracy theory variant: since the website and the forum are anonymous it's not clear that you are even the decisionmaker here. maybe you are a developer with rosy glasses but the owner who actually filed the patent and controls the website does not intend to let this drop.
solution: edit the website to read patent application plus number on red strike out font, and CANCELED next to the patent claim, and screenshot here for caching. or just add a footnote that you were pursuing a patent but dropped it because of concern from the community.
