Wait. What's the connection between the Copperhead OS and Samourai Wallet?

If people want to help with something, help with this ongoing problem with the Samourai Wallet community that's taking a substantial amount of my time and energy. Figure out who else James is brainwashing, scamming and turning against the open source project he steals from too.

James has apparently been participating in their Telegram channel for a long time spreading misinformation. He has recruited people in that community to participate in his fraud / scamming. It's getting pretty close to us needing an official post on the site about it.

It's a serious problem. People in that community are causing very real harm to GrapheneOS. Their reaction to being called out about it is to double down and recruit more people to participating. They should be aware the code Copperhead forked has a non-commercial usage license.

So any money they earn via the software is in violation of that license too, whether it's through podcasts or using a Bitcoin wallet on it. Unlike GrapheneOS, it's not open source, and Copperhead does not have a commercial license to use my code, so they cannot exempt anything.
