Dayan vs. V-Cube Patent Infringement

For people that are actually still interested in the REAL issue:

If you read the amount of detail over there, you will realize how horribly out of hand speedsolving has gone. Mods have tried, but people here seem to LIKE posting crap instead of content WAY too much. I don't follow speedsolving very much while I am travelling, but this topic I try to follow, understand, and actually try to help make this situation better. Almost 700 posts later I realize that I was looking at the wrong place. I can only hope that people here will take the time to read and understand how this was handled on TwistyPuzzles, take a good luck at their own behavior and start thinking about being helpful again.

YES, I am PO!
NO, it isn't ALL bad in here, but the level is just way way way too low on average

V-Cubes is well aware of all the commotion, but there is a reason they haven't publicly responded yet. A reaction will come .... when it will come. A lot is going on behind the screens. Post productively, read all you can if you are interested, but don't use this forum just for venting your frustration

Is it possible to give a deadline to the release of the public response?
It just looks again something like: I know more than you do, therefore you must be patient.

a deadline: no, otherwise I wouldn't have said "when it will come". Responses will come but not as fast as everybody (including me) hopes
and yes, I AM saying be patient

TK 421: Your post is epic fail after what I just posted.
bluecloe45: Brilliant idea. I can see that you also read everything in this topic and thought about that post for some time. I hope you understand sarcasm

Twisty Puzzles is a mature community with a long history, strict regulations and the best minds/collectors/solvers in the puzzle's community sharing their ideas on a whole other level. You can't compare both sites when this one is filled with youngsters and people new to cubing who are not as involved in this hobbie / business.

Asking for common sense here is like going to a high school and asking for mature people to come forward (for the most part).
 
Just wondering, if Verdes wins, would this make the production of GuHongs stop completely, or just their sale? Would I still be able to find them through some shady websites?

At this point we really do not know what Verdes is after. Perhaps a licencing deal may be worked out... or something else altogether. The worst case scenario (for GuHong fans) would be to have Verdes win and completely shut down the production of the GuHong (most likely the remaining GuHongs will be sold "underground"). Keep this in mind though... the 3x3 has been evolving very rapidly over the last few years. I'd be willing to bet money that there will be a 3x3 that will come along that will make people forget about the DaYan GuHong. When that will happen, and who will make it? Who knows, But I'm sure it will happen, and probably soon.

PS: I ranted earlier in this thread about the overmoderation of this thread...boy was I wrong (and Mods (especially Chris), please accept my most humble of apoligies). I don't generally apprecaite people interfering in the free flow of conversation and ideas, but it's clear controls need to be in place to reign in the overzealousness of some of out junior members.

I would not say the best minds/solvers, but definitely the best collectors and puzzle creators are on twistypuzzles. You can't compare the two communities because of a huge amount of censorship on TP (censoring by the mods as well as self-censoring) as well as the possibility of random anonymous accounts here (you have to be approved to sign up on TP, and it can be difficult even for actual cubers).
 
Agree. But as I said, "strict regulations" are part of their structure and hence, more thoughtful posts will appear there. I can only imagine what would happen to any TP member if they went into a vent spree or stray a thread out of topic.
 
Here is my bet:

In the near future (not months, it is just weeks) you will be buying the same GuHong cube with a different name - V-3. And the cost will be between 15 and 20 dollars. And you will pay for UPS shipping.

I exaggerated a bit and I know more than you do, but be patient.
