Title: 2 Qs regarding Alternative Clients
Post by: BitCoinDream on October 20, 2014, 10:38:19 AM
My Qs are regarding Bitcoin Forum > Bitcoin > Development & Technical Discussion > Alternative clients

1. Why BitcoinJ is under Alternative clients ? As I understand, it is a Java library, not a client.

2. Can DarkWallet (https://www.darkwallet.is/) be added as a section under Alternative clients ?

Offtopic: Does anyone know about any online implementation of DarkWallet ?

As it is used by many clients, maybe, to solve their problems, it is considered as an Alternative client. ::)

2. Can DarkWallet (https://www.darkwallet.is/) be added as a section under Alternative clients ?

I would like to see that! ;D

Offtopic: Does anyone know about any online implementation of DarkWallet ?

I don't think so. Now, if I am right, only the extension is released.

Please no.

I dont think the phase a wallet is in should be of importance, but rather the amount of posts. And frankly there are next to none about Darkwallet, thus its perfectly fine under "Alt Clients" among the other less popular wallets. This might change in the future, but currently I see 1-2 threads [1] a month and I read every topic in that section.
If any "wallet" would need a new section it would be blockchain.info.


[1] this is not an actual fact, just a feeling

I'm not a very knowledgeable person regarding DarkWallet, but I absolutely second your opinion regarding blockchain.info. A lot of services are now dependent on blockchain.info wallet API and we seriously need a dedicated section for them.
