Title: Electrum Wallet Bitcoin Whitepaper Post by: dkbit98 on January 27, 2021, 12:05:09 PM Github member CodeForcer suggested to allow people to download Bitcoin whitepaper from the blockchain using Electrum, and very quickly commit d7515b9 was created and from next Electrum release everyone will be able to view and download Bitcoin whitepaper directly from Electrum wallet.
Perfect reply for pathetic CSW Faketoshi :D Code: help_menu.addAction(_("&Official website"), lambda: webopen("https://electrum.org")) Title: Re: Electrum Wallet Bitcoin Whitepaper Post by: hugeblack on January 27, 2021, 01:59:40 PM A good start but an estimated percentage of beginners will not benefit from reading the white paper or at least you will not be interested in reading it.
Perhaps such an addition would open the way for adding links to help, whether it was redirected to this forum or another reliable forum.

It's not even linking to https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf, it is fetching an arbitrary transaction which may have the white paper embedded inside. It's not even guaranteed to be valid PDF if the transaction contents are just a copy of the URL I posted, because the way it's being parsed opens it to all kinds of strange errors that people will have a hard time solving.
I commented (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/6970#issuecomment-768417002) on the related issue and might submit a patch to just open a link to the PDF on bitcoin.org if necessary. EDIT: I managed to convince someone to add error handling to this commit, that's good enough. |
