He can't simultaneously have a mound of patents (for which core sycophants regularly excoriate him), and not have any patents.
There is no impediment to him having a mound of invalid patents.
Sure, there's an impediment. While the bar isn't so high as to be infallible, passing patent review is at least prima fascie evidence of validity. So are you claiming all of nChain's patents are invalid?
Bahahahaha not in this day and age
So you are not claiming that all of nChain's patents are invalid. Got it.
Are you claiming that any of nChain's patents are invalid? If so, which ones?
I am claiming that Craig is a known con man who is a fugitive from Australian authorities for tax fraud [fact]
I am claiming that the US Patent Office is grossly underfunded [fact] and was highly unlikely to have had any crypto expertise at the time the patents were taken out [supposition]
I am claiming that that a known conman might just make up a bunch of bullshit troll patents and gotten them past the Patent Office which has no idea what it is doing [supposition]
For you to be defending someone who is on the run from the authorities for fraud, and claiming that his patents must be valid is laughable. Why dont you use your clearly impressive intellect for something worthwhile.
