RE: Hive Witnesses | More Communication Needed?

in #hive4 years ago

is there a real concern from the cease and desist? I was wondering how much of a threat that is, or how it would impact everything here?

https://www.hiveblockchain.com/news/hive-blockchain-requests-cease-and-desist-from-new-steem-community-hard-fork-using-same-name/

Other than that everything seems to be working correctly(minus the wallet)

Sort:  

Imo opinion and only my opinion- no. The company doesn’t have a trademark, the names are different (minus a very common word) and it’s different aspects of a decentralized space. I see no threat.. I see someone trying to use our hype to get eyes on their project .. but that’s just me talking.

Wallet should be up now (just deployed)

presumably you already know, but peakd.com website (the rebrand of steempeak.com for the hive blockchain) has a functioning wallet (and is much better website overall in terms of functionality than hive.blog which is basically just a clone of steemit.com).

The cease and desist is not any kind of threat at all from the standpoint of legal action that could stop hive blockchain from operating.
