Okay so TL;DR
Coinkite makes blockclock mini and sells it for $400, closed source
djuri (npub1k5f…vqg2) makes a similar DIY device that is fully open source named BTClock
They get harassed at launch by Coinkite
It goes well for a while, then Coinkite takes down their Github by claiming trademark infringement because BTClock is too similar to Blockclock
