COPA

The Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA) is a non-profit community that seeks to remove patents and litigation as a barrier to growth in crypto.

Patent aggression has no place in crypto. We’re disappointed to see Bancor filing a lawsuit that undermines the open, collaborative spirit that made DeFi possible in the first place. @Bancor—this is a step backward. Drop the suit. Join the movement for patent peace. #copapledge

[COPA @opencryptoorg]

The fight against patent trolls just got stronger. COPA and @unifiedpatents have joined forces to protect blockchain innovation from meritless litigation. Our community deserves to build and grow without fear of legal attacks that stifle progress: https://t.co/jP9RxiFi3K

The High Court has formally ruled that Craig Wright is not Satoshi. COPA thanks Black Star Investments, @blocks, @btcturk and its founder @keremtibuk, @ChaincodeLabs, @coinbase, @HRF, @jlppfeffer and @MicroStrategy for their significant support. As a result, developers worldwide can continue their important work on the Bitcoin network and maintain the independent spirit of the open-source community.

From the written judgment: “...Dr Wright presents himself as an extremely clever person. However, in my judgment, he is not nearly as clever as he thinks he is. In both his written evidence and in days of oral evidence under cross-examination, I am entirely satisfied that Dr Wright lied to the Court extensively and repeatedly.” Read more on COPA’s blog: https://t.co/YNG06K2Xi0

Today’s ruling is the result of a concerted and united effort across the entire open source community - from developers, to those who selflessly contributed to funding this important case, to all members of COPA. THANK YOU ALL for the time, dedication and support. Your efforts have secured a brighter future for open source development and protected the integrity of Bitcoin.

[COPA @opencryptoorg]

Judge Mellor has just delivered his written judgment that Craig Wright is not Satoshi, which carefully dissects Wright’s tangled web of forgeries and lies. Thanks to community support, COPA proudly stands for truth and justice. We look forward to developers continuing their work on Bitcoin without fear of baseless litigation.

"I will make certain declarations which I am satisfied are useful and are necessary to do justice between the parties. First, that Dr Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper. Second, Dr Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in the period 2008 to 2011. Third, Dr Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin System. And, fourth, he is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin software. Any further relief will be dealt with in my written judgment. I will extend time for filing any appellant's notice until 21 days after the form of order hearing, which will be appointed following the hand down of my written judgment and I ask the parties to seek to agree an order giving effect to what I have just stated."

[Paul Grewal @iampaulgrewal]

Mr. Wright is not Satoshi. The Court has just ruled definitively and without qualification. We are grateful that the rule of law has again prevailed.

[COPA @opencryptoorg]

That ends today with the court’s ruling that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto. 4/4

[COPA @opencryptoorg]

Justice Mellor found that:
1) Dr Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper.
2) Dr Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto.
3) Dr Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin System.
4) Dr Wright is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin software.
1/4

[COPA @opencryptoorg]

For over eight years, Dr. Wright and his financial backers have lied about his identity as Satoshi Nakamoto and used that lie to bully and intimidate developers in the bitcoin community. 3/4

“12 reasons why Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto”

Our trial to prove that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto closes this week. Throughout trial, we’ve exposed Wright’s serial forgeries and identified point after point that shows he is not the real Satoshi.

[COPA @opencryptoorg]

Despite a lineup of potential candidates for Satoshi, Craig Wright didn't even make @Axios’ list. That's because Craig Wright is not Satoshi.
