Today, Google notified us that https://t.co/2Wvn3o5KaU was targeted by a counterfeit complaint initiated by https://t.co/dj8XB4XBVM.
Just a few days earlier, Solomining had already filed a copyright complaint with our hosting provider. Now they have escalated to counterfeit allegations as well. At no point did they contact us directly. Everything was done behind the scenes.
This is not an isolated dispute. It is a pattern.
Solomining has also quietly filed trademark applications for Bitaxe, Nerdaxe, the Bitaxe logo, and other related names. We will share the registration links below.
At this point, it should be clear that this is not about protecting the Bitaxe brand from Chinese sellers. We appear to be the only seller being targeted. In our view, this is part of a broader attempt to hijack the Bitaxe project in Europe and use complaints, takedown efforts, and control over names tied to an open-source project for commercial advantage while pushing legitimate competitors out.
https://t.co/2Wvn3o5KaU was the first Bitaxe seller in Germany, long before others entered the market. We sell genuine hardware based on the open-source Bitaxe ecosystem and have supported this space from the very beginning. We follow the same rules as everyone else. From our perspective, the only reason to target us is to eliminate the strongest competitor.
We believe it is fair to ask why no one from the OSMU community has publicly commented on this so far, especially when so many sellers support OSMU through donations for every Bitaxe sold. In a community built on openness, this raises difficult but necessary questions: is OSMU aware that Solomining appears to be moving to take control of the project trademark behind the scenes, and if so, why has no one publicly pushed back?
Today we took action against online shops that, in our assessment, are misleading customers and acting against the ethos of open source.
We identified cases where Bitaxe devices were advertised as “Made in Germany” despite being imported hardware. Claims like this are misleading and deliberately create a false impression about origin, quality, and legitimacy.
Open source stands for transparency, honesty, and respect for both users and builders. Misrepresenting where products come from directly contradicts these principles and erodes trust in the entire ecosystem.
This is not about restricting open-source participation. Anyone is free to build and sell Bitaxe devices.
But using the Bitaxe name while making misleading claims about origin or affiliation is not acceptable.
We will continue to act against practices that mislead customers and damage trust in the Bitaxe open-source project.
Buyers should always verify the source and be cautious of misleading claims.
But Suella, by your own definition, you are a DEI hire.
The only reason you won a seat in Parliament was that the Conservative Party leadership placed you on their "A-List", a system explicitly designed by David Cameron and George Osborne to bypass local associations and fast-track diverse candidates. You were promoted into influential roles with record speed and framed as the "future of the party" specifically because they wanted a more diverse front bench.
Are you saying it was "anti-white racism" that cleared the path for your career? If you’ve truly realized that DEI is racist, will you be resigning your seat to allow a "qualified white candidate" to take your place, or are you happy to remain Reform’s token stooge? This is racism we are talking about after all and you shouldn't take it lightly.
These are all direct quotes from George Osborne's (David Cameron's Chancellor's) podcast.
1)
"We were very deliberate. We felt the Conservative Party had to look like the country it wanted to govern. If we had just left it to the local associations at the time, we would have ended up with the same type of candidate every time. We had to intervene to ensure we had more women and more people from ethnic minority backgrounds."
2)
"It’s one of the great ironies of the Cameron years. We moved heaven and earth to diversify the candidate list, and now some of the people who came through that process, like Suella (Braverman) and Priti (Patel), are the ones most vocally attacking the very liberal, modernizing project that brought them in."
3)
"It wasn't that we were picking people who weren't good enough. It was that there were brilliant barristers, doctors, and business people who happened to be women or from minority backgrounds who weren't getting a look-in. We just forced the door open for them."
What the fuck is Linux age verification. If I spin up a VM, do I have to fucking provide my ID card? Someone should hang these Californian regulators on a tree
@ckpooldev@slush First was getwork yeah which was HTTP GET/POST requests. Then Stratum came which was JSON but technically had a choice of transports (iirc it had websockets or tcp but only TCP worked). Pretty sure btcguild's implementation was JSON too.
@OGBTC From what I saw all their survices use dynamo DB (think mongo) as their backend in us-east-1 and the DNS got fucked cause of their health checks and load balancers failing which cascaded
