Title: Taking some action against letting the p2p Bitcoin Portal die (sps Osiris) !
Post by: paraipan on January 05, 2012, 12:25:09 PM
I posted this (http://www.osiris-sps.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1805&view=findpost&p=9409) on to the osiris forum, as i feel that most of us don't really adopt the platform because of it's closed source nature, hope i didn't do anything stupid. We cold help raise some money and appreciate the developers effort put into this software. If that's the case, would this charity qualify on the Bitcoin100 list ?

Happy new year people

Here again with a small question... you have any plans to release the source code for the portal system ?

Your p2p system is awesome but I feel that most of our members are not very comfortable using it and knowing it has a closed source. There are potential privacy risks and bugs that could lead to unwanted effects in any community because of that.

I would like to know, if it's possible, what do you people need to release the source code and enable us overcome some of our issues. If it is a monetary incentive, you only have to give us a figure and I'm positive that our community will gather the funds and reward you for your time and effort. If it's some other issues then please tell. I will be more than happy to hear your opinions on this.

Kind regards, Alex.
