Peter, are you really going to try to down vote a decent free and
open-source proposal that benefits all the Bitcoin community including
you and your future children because a personal attack to me without any
logic or basis?

Is that the way you collaborate to improving Bitcoin?

I just can't believe it.

Let's open another thread elsewhere to discuss hardware and software
patents, and that particular one, if you wish, this is NOT the place.
