Title: IPv6 Bitcoin Services - Tomorrows IPv6 Launch Day! (And a bit about Bitlc.net)
Post by: Jine on June 05, 2012, 08:56:29 AM
Hi all!

Tomorrows it's IPv6 Launch day, this time it's for real. Facebook has already begun, Google, Youtube and AT&T are joining up tomorrow. Which leads to my question:
Is there any other Bitcoin service provider that's fully supporting IPv6?
Is there any Bitcoin service provider that's participating in the IPv6 Launch - if not available already under v6?

We (https://www.bitlc.net) are, we have been since day one (I.e. back in 2011). But to promote v6 more, and to actually get people to start using it, i just published a blog post with some more information, live graphs etc.
https://www.bitlc.net/blog/tomorrow-its-world-ipv6-launch-day-6 I really want to see a spike in traffic towards our site, for v6. Not an increase in traffic in general, but an increase in v6 traffic.

I also want to see an increase in general IPv6 traffic - world wide, and in the bitcoin network. Currently there's only a few single nodes thats under v6. :(
The latest git head DO support v6, but it's disabled by default. Enable it by setting USE_IPV6=1 in your makefile.

I'm here (and in #bitcoin / #bitlc on freenode) for any questions about IPv6, and i will assist people as much as i can to set up tunnels OR native solutions, if your ISP provides it.
I'm certified from HE.net as a IPv6 Sage (not that i really though that test was that difficult, but still): http://ipv6.he.net/certification/scoresheet.php?pass_name=Jine

Well I use it at home going through SixXS, I have just not found the time to add AAAA record to WalletBit (https://walletbit.com), and the rest of my services.
