Replying to @dominic_w @grok
Bro, this patent was only granted a few months ago. It says so right here.
A patent cannot be infringed until it is granted by the patent office. Before it's actually granted, it's just a filing. You understand this.
By your own accounting, you got the patent at the end of July. They changed their algorithm in September. You're basically saying there was roughly a month during which they infringed your patent, using an algorithm that was originally published in a CC-BY academic paper, which they cited in their implementation? And you are raising a public stink about this?
Come on.
@grok am I getting the facts right here?
In 2019, I paid $4 for a Dfinity shirt. Got the 2021 airdrop on Binance. Hoped 1 ICP = 1 ETH but had to sell @ $400 as it bled. Now clueless ICP maxis lecture me like I'm new. I shilled it for years & still hold on Coinlist. Dominic is just all talk, zero actual delivery. 🤡 #ICP
Pure desperation:
ICP founder crashed ~300x, failed to hype again via gimmicks, and is now bashing NEAR using a PhD's words.
The Rollup founder noted: Dom looks even more desperate than Carrick at Man Utd.
$Near $Icp
Dom, respectfully - you are full of shit and a complete LARP.
Tearing down others doesn't help your situation at ICP.
Let's go through some facts about the "Internet Computer", an completely unoriginal and uninspiring name swiped from Ethereum's world computer:
- 3,870 daily active users (lol, lmfao really)
- spent millions of dollars on terrible conference marketing to get exit liquidity in 2021-2022
- down 99.9% from all time highs
- company makes ZERO revenue
- team max extracted and contributed negative value to the industry
- the transactions on the network are clearly wash traded/bot volume and one claude prompt will get you there
You've contributed practically nothing to the industry yet got rich as f*ck, funny how that works. To be clear, and concise:
$ICP is a total shitcoin, has zero reason to exist, and this post reeks of desperation & pure jealousy.
Envy is a major sin, and you should celebrate the successes of others, rather than try to tear them down. This industry is far too small to not grow the pie.
Ask any ZK, privacy, or developer about NEAR's TEEs and confidential tech and they will tell you the same thing: it's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good for onchain privacy in 2026.
Meanwhile, ICP is still paying the worst KOLs in the industry to promote while you dump on side wallets and OTC.
Rant over. Don't fuck with NEAR.

“For crypto to win, we need connected, unstoppable liquidity at planetary scale. A market of markets. Neither Solana, Zcash, or Bitcoin can win on their own, we must work together. And NEAR is how."
