Bitcoin (BTC) core developer Luke Dashjr has distanced himself from an NFT that auctioned his code for 0.41 BTC — price roughly $10,000.
Dashjr said he was not concerned within the creation or gross sales of the NFT, including that he didn’t consent to make use of his code or identify for the aim. He mentioned:
“Third events are advertising and marketing my identify and my code for their very own financial acquire.”
Dashjr continued that the NFT creators had supplied him 90% of the proceeds, which he describes as an obvious try and “bribe” him into silence or receive his consent.
Nevertheless, the developer rejected the supply, asking the creators to refund the NFT purchaser 100% of the fund.
He concluded that:
“I felt obligated to talk out, not only for myself, however for different Bitcoin devs who’ve been positioned in comparable conditions. The amount of cash we now have been supplied as “donations” for acquiescing to what’s happening is appreciable. I don’t condone it.”
In the meantime, Scare Metropolis — {the marketplace} that auctioned the NFT — offered to refund the client or donate funds to OpenSats.
