"We cannot allow a competitor to sow confusion in the marketplace by trading on the good will associated with our name"
1000 downloads on google play. If anything Tari gets to play on the goodwill of Taro and Lightling labs if they get to keep the name. But really this is silly. Going to court over a name change. Paying lawyers, etc. for projects of this size with barely any users. Waste of time sad
And Taro is named Taro because its a form of Taproot afaik, and it uses the Bitcoin softfork Taproots functionality afaik. There is no malicious intend behind, if anything Tari could have benefited by going in the wake of Taro. Also wouldnt it be hilarious if down the road Tari wallet ends up supporting Taro.. Rant over
It seems intuitive, taproot, taro, root vegetable, I mean, what taf is "tari". It's not a name, that's Tarik. Tarry means to waste time. Or covered in black sticky goo.
Taproot... Taro = tuber. Tari doesn't have any visible connection to this. Using a court to create publicity material.
Also, why it would be better to not have a "yada yada" foundation when it comes to anything if we want it to be decentralised. Bitcoin core repo is a benevolant dictatorship of seniority. I for one am raising my glass for the appearance of a software repository protocol that detaches code from platforms. Sooner the better.
Jack, crack that whip!
PS: this is why I think we should formally refer to our work as "The Indra Network Protocol". Copyright Prior Art Bitch! Also: Protocol, not a property, a pattern.
Yeah, but to someone outside the space... they happen to not just be both 4 letter starting with Tar, end in a vowel, I and O next to eachother on keyboard, crypto things, but they are both asset issuance crypto things.
Taro is a protocol on a proper second layer.
Tari is a sidechain.
They could have gotten a 75 year old judge though.
