I'm actually really looking forward to hearing more about the patents these guys have. I think those will be the real value in the beginning.
Has there been any word on when they planning on announcing these patents?
As far as I know patents are usually always in the public domain, they only need to indicate where they are located. I hope the team will soon publish it, I also want to read this patents.
The patent that is approved is available for public. You can read it if you want, it's in the technical whitepaper.
