I know you're not lying, but Trademark law in whatever country would only protect the trademark as it involves the entity claiming the trademark... if PirateCoin called itself a political party, then maybe... but doubtful it would hold up in any court anywhere under those circumstances, certainly not in the USA.

As "PirateCoin" is specifically a cryptocurrency, no trademark infringement exists on any level.

Besides, it would be pretty ironic for the Pirate Party, who advocates freely sharing intellectual property, to go after a Crypto for trademark infringement... think about it...

And as to your "pirate coin has proven itself useless as a concept to get people involved", that's because there was no marketing plan and the whole thing got sidetracked by the worry about the Pirate Party, which is seriously a non-issue that got the developer disenchanted.

The developer gave me the login info, I shared it with bobdylan and if he's not going to reflect the will of the community and keep the coin as it was intended to be, then he needs to return that information to me.

If he's not willing to, we'll just get new social media accounts.  But hopefully he'll do the right thing.

We need to get the ball rolling, and I thought that's what we were doing when I gave bobdylan the login info so that he could update the website to show the updated pool and exchange information, which he did and I thought it was all good.  Then I login the next day and find a new coin design and "mission statement" that completely deviated from anything having to do with what we've been mining/working towards.

I would like that info back, please.
