Thanks BitcoinXio !

It does feel like the end of an era for Gary and I I must admit, We've been working on MultiBit for years !

I'm wondering how buying a free open source software is profitable for them honestly :o Other than that , congratulations mate and hopefully you are not leaving the bitcoin community for ever .

I obviously cannot talk for KeepKey about their business plans.

I'm not leaving the Bitcoin scene no.
I do feel like a bit of a break from all things crypto over the summer though now that the weather's nice.

It would be nice if someone at KeepKey adds a reply to this discussion, at least just to say "Hello!" to Multibit users  :). Do they have an official account here on BTCtalk?

Congrats on the sale!

Quick question though, why are you using a newbie account and not Jim618? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=31622)
