Title: Request for new board: Tech Support for Bitcoin-related software
Post by: luv2drnkbr on August 31, 2014, 03:06:44 AM
I've occasionally had questions about certain bitcoin related tools and software that don't have their own thread, nor a board that is fitting, and I was hoping we could add a tech support sub-forum for misc bitcoin related software and other tools.  Or is there one already and I've just missed it?

Does it not just fit under the technical support section?

No, that's for problem's regarding the original Satoshi's client. All technical issues regarding other Bitcoin software are for their respective boards (pools under Mining software, Alternative clients for other wallets, etc.). I guess it would makes sense to make such board as a lot of questions leak out and I'm not always sure where to put them.

In many cases, it's best to find the official thread of the software in question and ask there.

Ah ok my mistake. I think the issue he has is that some of the software doesn't have a thread. I also think that with the variety of software it is probably a good idea we have a sub forum dedicated just for software.
