As I understand it they just dont let sergey own the term smartcontract. If they would have accepted it not even vitalik or any other smart contract dude use the term smart contract lol. Link would have mooned to 500M.

>>9535271

Lol. Right.

>>9535310
We are talking about "smartcontract", not "smart contract". It's a big failure for Sergey because he's FAT.

Is this the end of chainlink?

>>9535352
yes

>>9535361
This, sage in the option and hide all namefags. Report every one of their posts that even slightly breaks the rules. Best to just not reply at all.

Not gonna sell retard. This is nothing. You will not take from me my only shoot to do something good with my life.

>>9535372
He posts one "helpful" thread for every 10000 garbage fucking awful threads. Also, I'm fucking glad they didn't get that trademark. I'm holding LINK bags but fuck them with that stupid generic name. "Smart contracts" are a thing, not a company name and I'm glad their attempt at trademark squatting was thrown out.
Now they'll be forced to start saying Chainklink instead of shilling their shitty website :)

>>9535406
Wait, did you just recognize Sergey is using pajeet tier schemes to promote his company ?

>>9535406
true. this means increased chainlink shilling and name recognition

this is good for chainlink

botched patent application
sideprojects suck way too much time
don't worry, Sergey will get back to LINK
just HODL in the mean time, Linkies !!!!!

>>9535428
Owning smartcontracts.com: smart
Calling your company "smartcontracts.com": fucking dumb

>>9535405
this isn't a shot to change your life, it's a shot to fail completely and end up killing yourself

It wont affect ChainLink at all. It was worth a shot at applying for it but the chances of them trade marking the term smartcontract were slim to none anyway.

Looks like Sergey must have started this a while ago since the correspondent is Smart Asset Exchange. Not good though.

We know who the attorney they must have though is now. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jann-stanley-moorhead-a97a597

sergay better start upping his game. there are big players and stakes here. if he doesnt accelerate chainlinks profile and visibility someone else will fill that space and quickly. with the traction smart contracts are gaining it will soon be make or break. this is not a game.

>>9535521
the bags are hurting your hands, aren't they ???

>>9535521
nobody is going to fill LINK's space. they are very far ahead in development. there's a reason why the big wallets are not dumping and are even buying more. stop being retarded.

This is the namefag. Hide and sage his threads, report his posts

Sergeys old company is what owns chainlink. He can't use smartcontract as the company name basically.

>>9535768

>>9535825

>>9535954
Yeah I won't even respond to these fags anymore, they're just baiting anyway.

Owning the name SmartContract was a huge selling point for ChainLink. This is actually bad news. Secure Asset Exchange doesn't quite have a good ring to it.

>>9535988
You realise you're breaking the rules? Stop spamming this in the thread you twat face!

It won't affect any working relations with existing partners but it just sucks that he cant use smartcontract as the business name for when smartcontract becomes a huge buzzword within the next few years

LMAO eat a dick newfag
>>9536255
Maybe if apple was called "personal computer"

>>9536329
okay, but they can still use the word 'smart contract' in their work right? they just cant say 'SmartContract(tm)' and sue other companies that try to do so? sounfs like it was a shot in the dark

Priceless.

>>9536256
Their company name is already SmartContracts...

>>9536363
Yeah pretty much this. Does also mean we've been lied to by the team. They've told us numerous times the company name was smartcontract when really its always been under secure asset exchange.

>>9536373
SmartContract*

>>9535271
yes

>>9536373
That's what we've been told by them, but according to the application documents they were attempting to register it under SAE.

This is why they should stop being faggots and call the company CHAINLINK.

>>9536413
I agree. There's no reason not to now.

>>9536413
this is actually a good thing.

>>9536368
>Schooled by astro
Lol nice samefagging you pathetic faggot

>>9536489
Newfag didn't work so now you gotta try samefag. Nice try there pal. Gtfo of here if you don't know the rules and have nothing of value to add, you're trying to derail the conversation but it's not working. No one gives a shit what you have to keep saying.

This is good guys, totally not a stupid move and waste of effort, showing how the project is run.

The Lawyer they hired back in December to submit this is a fucking moron and should have known this wouldn't have gone through.

clink just doesnt have the same ring to it although its catchier maybe just link

>>9536648
You certainly like using the word fag a lot. I think you should be honest with yourself because you're blatantly a homosexual. Stop replying because you got schooled and now you're butthurt and just embarrassing yourself. You broke the rules and you said you didn'tt. You broke the rules and you said you didn't.you broke the rules and you said you didn't. Fuck off.

>>9536659
That's what Fagstro does. Don't forget about his temper tantrum shitting up the board for days until he got a 3 day ban. He also uses vpns to samefag. Sage, and report for any rule violations.

sergery and the rest of his useless team didn't even coin the term smart contract. removing a space between a commonly define term isn't something you can trademark especially when you have absolutely nothing to show for it.

just wait for the universal panning in peer review when they finally launch this broken centralized oracle into the world.

>>9536594
Lawyers don’t care as long as you pay them.

>>9536717
They should take the first 2 letters and last 3 letters and just call it chink. Because this is beginning to look more and more like a chink scam. ;)

>posting your own twitter on 4chan
Why so dumb astri?

>>9536730
Calling out namefags for being the fags they are isn't against the rules. All the false reports you've been sending definitely are though.
Can't wait till you get banned again you namefagging piece of shit

>>9536742
Never been banned.
I dont use VPNs... you clearly have never tried to use a VPN on 4chan because its no longer possible. Which makes your statement completely asnine because if i was banned according to you I could have just used a VPN. HerpDerp.
I think you need to check the rules because you're breaking them right now sweetie. >>9536175

>>9536752
Doesn't exactly give us confidence to know he has shitty lawyers working for him in a fintech industry.

Btw he is now blatantly lying, as he used the same trip with different IDs in other thread plus you can use vpns if you buy 4chan pass lmao

>>9535271

>>9535830
Smartcontract.com is a company

>>9536778
How ironic. Asking me why I'm dumb but cant even spell a 5 letter name right. Thanks for making me laugh hunny.

ITS FUCKING OVER

>>9536674

>>9536801
She’s not a shitty lawyer. She has big clients.

>>9536829
no. SmartContract supposedly "was" the company. Smartcontract.com is a fucking website. Holy fuck you are stupid.

>>9536839
https://www.smartcontract.com/

The proyect has no direction. Unironically I'm going to sell the moment this shit goes pass 0.5 again. Enough is enough

^ I can't read this entire thread

Another interesting fact: the guy suffers from schyzophrenia

>>9536842
A lawyer that doesn't tell their client straight up that something will get refused and instead takes their money and wastes 6 months of time for the application to be answered, is a shitty lawyer.

>>9536839

https://twitter.com/crypto_beak/status/998326533407367168

They changed company name to Secure Asset Exchange from SmartContracts and now this tweet

Big justing incoming? I'm literally shaking

I've always see it quoted as smartcontract.com, so nothing really changes

>>9536963
They didn't just change the name. It's always been under SAE and that application was submitted back in December. We've been lied to.

More pointless shit to the topic at hand, but you are correct.

>>9537244
I keep hearing about this Delphi Discord. Wtf is it?

>>9537209
It's absolutely nothing m8.
Their company is called "smartcontract" so they wanted to register it as a trademark. But that's a stupid name for a company anyway. It would be like if Honda owned "car.com" so they decided to call the company "car".
They can still use the website, but maybe have to change the company name. IDK either way, It changes nothing.
So this thread is total garbage, as is usual for this fucking idiot larper.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT! ESPECIALLY COLLECTIVE POSITIVE THOUGHT!!

THIS SHIT IS GOING TO REACH $1,000 EASILY! HOLD THAT THOUGHT AND VISUALIZE IT IN YOUR MIND EVERYDAY AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE STARTING NOW AND IT WILL MANIFEST INTO REALITY. DO IT! I'M NOT JOKING!

VISUALIZE AS OFTEN AND AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE!

>>9537294
Check the application documents retard. The company is not called smartcontract. It's called secure asset exchange. Perhaps go read the fucking info in the link I posted.

secure asset exchange is registered in cayman islands

I kind of wonder how the fuck LINK is still at 45 cents with so much FUD everywhere.

>>9537459
LINK is intrinsically worthless. Node operators can be paid in existing cryptocurrencies. Just look at the testnet right now, it only accepts ETH instead of LINK lmao. It means that ETH can easily be substituted for it, that is, if someone wants to fork the token to accept ETH (an established cryptocurrency instead of some fucking ERC20 token made with a two-man team), LINK is basically useless. That is besides the fact that everything LINK aims to do can be easily done by cryptographically signing the data from the API source.
>muh next ETH
Link, 5 months in: 35 cents (3.5x ICO)
Ethereum, 5 months in: $5.50 (17x ICO)

Uh oh, pissed stinker incoming HAHA.

>>9536835
It's ok astri we all think you are retarded buddy.

No this is a trademark for Chain's Link that was rejected.
This in no way relates to Chainlink.
Nothing to see here.

that's old FUD. Sergey himself confirmed that's bullshit. come mainnet it will require the LINK token, its in the pivotal tracker.
