You are not defending your trademark, but using it to take down a project which had done what you did in a way that is more affordable and gave more control to users.
It is a shame that Coinkite engages in this behavior and harms the Bitcoin and open source ecosystem, the same ecosystem it profits off of, with one example being the starting point of the Coldcard.
It is difficult to see any good faith actions here.
The name BTClock is highly unlikely to be confused with Blockclock. You can only lose a trademark if there is obvious infringement happening and you do nothing.
Should Satochip go after you and your trademark because you made Satschip, which has the actual potential of confusing users?

quoting note1lu2…c4u5Trademarks are a fuck if you do, fuck if you don't type of law.
Was not an easy decision, but had to be made. I own it.

And If someone made an evil version of our products we would have less recourse.
Running your sales site of your knock off out of the same repository as your codebase is retarded. Trademark has nothing to do with the code.
Things are never as simple as the cancel ppl try to make it be.
The drama seems to always originate from the same sources...
