Post by: dogtor on October 19, 2014, 02:30:23 AM Haha.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Hey theymos, maybe you could donate some of the 6000 btc that were supposed to be used for "forum software upgrades" you raised a couple years ago.
Title: Re: Can we pursue SMF to accept Bitcoin ? Post by: PenAndPaper on October 19, 2014, 02:37:56 AM I don't think that there is an excuse for any software developer/company/community out there to not accept bitcoin. I guess everyone will understand that down the road.

I guess everyone will understand that down the road. Its not about excuse. Its about interest. If a certain entity is reluctant to accept Bitcoin, what can u do ? By market rule, they'll automatically fall behind the competition and then vanish in the oblivion. Already forum software like SMF, phpBB, vBulletin are falling behind XenForo or bbPress. If they dont restructure, they'll limit their time. Title: Re: Can we pursue SMF to accept Bitcoin ? Post by: mufa23 on October 19, 2014, 10:28:03 AM I actually love SMF. I hope theymos doesn't change it. Did he specifically say someplace that he planned on swapping out SMF with something else?
And the donations goes to hosting and paying devs/whitehats in custom security. There is enough "money" to run the forum past our lifetimes. Pretty sure he said donations are no longer needed. But yes, all of that aside, it would be cool if SMF accepted BTC. But I don't think they spend a lot of time developing it. They provide it free, and don't spend a lot of time pushing out bug fixes. Development over the years has been pretty slow from what I recall. Title: Re: Can we pursue SMF to accept Bitcoin ? Post by: hilariousandco on October 19, 2014, 11:59:36 AM I actually love SMF. I hope theymos doesn't change it. Did he specifically say someplace that he planned on swapping out SMF with something else? A completely new forum software has/is being developed from scratch. It'll have all the features this one does plus more. Should be going live sometime early next year. Title: Re: Can we pursue SMF to accept Bitcoin ?
