Stealing would imply we broke the laws.
The exact opposite happened. We properly followed the laws and registered things correctly. Anyone could have done it, including those that used it first. They did not, so we did. There is nothing unfair about that.
Regarding the sucess of paycoin. There is no value arguing over that. You have your opinion, and I have mine. Let's just wait and see what happens and let's facts decide the truth.
So being unethical and immoral is ok as long as technically, the laws weren't broken.
Most of these alts cannot afford to pay for lawyers to defend themselves nor to buy trademarks - most of this is open source and done via volunteer work and you know this.
What you have done is crooked and unethical to anyone watching.
And judging by all the recent accusations [against you] on reddit and BCT, it looks like you're a man of extremely poor character and this is how you normally conduct all your business. So it's not surprising that you feel you've done no wrong.
You will soon find out that much more will be lost by you trying to improve your bankrupt image than what you would have spent doing this the right way.
That's your subjective opinion. There is an different school of that that says if you spend the money to properly purchase and register things, then you have a right to use it. It's no more the old paycoins fault that they may not have been able to afford the name, as it is ours that we can.
I always find it interesting to see that you guys seem to think linking to another forum with the same set of trolls with the same lack of evidence somehow counts as facts or proof. There is not a single comment on reddit, or here, backed up by any proof. Saying something over and over again with your end closed does not make it true.
We are successful because more and more people trust us each day, and we honor that trust. This creates even more customers. No matter how much you try, we are not going away. We are going to prove our values with actions in reply life. So Come back with some actual facts, is stop spreading FUD. It reflects badly on the entire industry.
Trademarks, registered or not are based on first use, not first to register. If someone wants to take the trouble and can provide "prior art" or proof of use in layman's language then it can be challenged and reversed. Whether someone bothers to is what matters. Once it is used by another person and it is not challenged within a certain period of time, then it is considered abandoned and someone else can lay claim to it.
