Title: When is Bitcoin v1.0 coming? Post by: Moloch on January 30, 2016, 05:30:30 PM Bitcoin has been in "beta testing" for nearly 8 years now... when is it going to officially be version 1.0 instead of this 0.12, etc?
Does anyone know what the holdup is? Transaction Malleability? Title: Re: When is Bitcoin v1.0 coming?

Does anyone know what the holdup is? Transaction Malleability? I just always assumed that we'd switch to version 1.0 after the last new piece of a bitcoin was "mined".

Is it about time we lose the Beta? I would make this release version 1.3. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217.0 Title: Re: When is Bitcoin v1.0 coming?

Quote from: lukejr For 1.0, I would expect: libbitcoinconsensus: an API that makes implementing a full node practical. Bitcoin Core GUI: reasonably usable safely by non-technical people. Bitcoin Core Daemon: a reasonably safe wallet (currently blocked by backup- resistant accounting system) Title: Re: When is Bitcoin v1.0 coming?

I'm sure. When, who knows since in reality it doesn't really matter. Title: Re: When is Bitcoin v1.0 coming? Post by: achow101 on January 31, 2016, 05:17:51 PM Thanks for the link, but "never" is the wrong answer... There is no plan for 1.0 and there is no definition of what will be 1.0 and given that there is no plan for it, it is very likely that 1.0 will never happen or it will be a long time. |
