I really wonder what happened to the father son team? Where'd junior go? He was such a fudster killer...
You mean dodgy Carmelo's offspring? Ask him if you like, he's got an incredibly cringey twitter account https://twitter.com/raul_milian. Crypto-currency leader helping families reach more income. CEO of Bitcoin****.net that made me cringe indeed. Lol this guy is an even bigger loser than Homero |

Sorry I meant he needs an income stream is obvious, not open source or not. I hope everything works out and I'm curious to find out the story sometime.
Does anyone know what's new in 0.94 but not being released yet?

hello again, it has been a while..  has the compensation plan for hashlet pngs been prepared yet?  Homero would love it if you print out the png and tribute it |

What if they sell a hash of the file? I'd pay to get a signed hash using my public key to verify my software. Also drm works great online, so my software will send my hash to download updates automatically and verify them. Hold back a public hash.
Binaries are closed source anyway, so you can sell the binary, hash plus auto update while staying open source. Getting an armory binary off torrent would be a dumb way to get a virus. People capable of making binaries can respect that even though it's open source, it's not a free license. But can build to compare against paid binary.
Yes free open source would be nice, but obviously ethiopia doesn't agree and if he quits then what? Armory is the only desktop wallet I would ever use.

Armory actually started as a crowd fund back in the day. I thought ethiopa would never deliver soo much. Thanks!

If there was only a way to do drm with open source
Any time you think drm is the solution to your problem, you're solving the wrong problem. Afaik drm is the only way to do paid licenses. Not root kit shit but closed source requiring a license key. |

People can download the best and latest armory right now for free, but they can't expect it for life.
It's true, and I am also abundantly aware that all Armory users are currently enjoying the largesse of bitcointalk member sunnankar & friends when it comes to funding this work properly. Huge gratitude towards Trace & others. On the other hand, I can't share any enthusiasm for a possible closed-source product either; I'm not the only one, and there are sound reasons to distrust proprietary software, especially for cryptocurrency (and really for any software).

You can donate when sending a payment in the client
But would you donate under the present circumstances bitpop? Possibly you would, but knowing what I know about the intended changes to Armory (which is old information now, alot may have changed since then), I can't justify it for myself. And I can see how others might feel like that without knowing any extra details; it's investing in something with too much uncertainty in the return. You may end up being confronted with the retail price of the closed-source version the following day. No I'd see if I'd want to donate to a forked project or a retail version or whatever happens. I'd gladly pay .5 btc for a lifetime license if it means better support and a better future. Then someone can keep patching the current open source one for donations. Maybe just critical patches like the working with .11.1. It's already full of features. Goatpig gets to make a few Bitcoins and ethiopa gets to build his company with a steadier stream of income. I don't think it's a big deal. People can download the best and latest armory right now for free, but they can't expect it for life. |

Would you guys be able to republish it so that we can make aaacommunity developed version based on what has already been written?
If it comes down to that I will release everything I have and maintain the software myself. Your willingness to fork the project to keep it open source is reassuring. Unfortunately I have no choice but to research alternative clients because of the rumors of uncertainty being posted on the forum.
Cute sentiment but I do not think you understand the type of resources required to build this type of software where individuals can generate and hold the private keys of their own wealth. Funding the building out of the core infrastructure the entire community uses has not been cheap and many people have made significant sacrifices of both time and money to get Bitcoin where it is today.
Thank you for your generous financial contribution to Armory. The features found in Armory have made bitcoin a viable payment method. On one hand, you appear to be indicating that Armory needs funding, while on the other hand, you're directly turning down a donation offer from a user and dismissing the idea of end user donations as "cute." There are Armory users who depend on Armory to process significant transactions. If Armory needs funding from the people who use it, why not ask for the money or at least accept money from people who are offering it? When I visit the Armory home page, I see no indication that the project is in need of funds or any fund raising effort whatsoever. There is no visual aid indicating how far into the red Armory is. I don't see a donations page or button. I see the opposite of raising money, Armory is matching donations to other organizations like the EFF, giving bitcoin away. https://bitcoinarmory.com/donation-match-list/ I found a donations payment address in a discrete location on the bottom of the contacts page by searching the Armory home page with a search engine. Correct me if I'm wrong but I do not see any indication of a donation area, button, or payment address within the Armory client itself either. I would be happy to voluntarily donate to the project. However, discussions casting doubt on Armory's future as open source software are alarming because closed source cryptographic software is a nonstarter and Armory is a critical application for some of your end users. Armory devolving into a black box will motivate Armory users to look elsewhere. You can donate when sending a payment in the client |

How do you spell checkers?

They'll shrug their shoulders and be all, "Awww, hey, that's ok Joshie, this is the land of the free, home of the brave, you just be living the 'Mercan Dream, son!" and then send him on his way, right? Right? RIGHT? I mean, he's a good religious boy who loves himself some Jesus and fears himself some God, the 'right' god, of course, so nobody is going to be sending him to prison just for being an honest entrepreneur.
Cocaine's a hell of a drug.
That sounds like the sort of defence that the entire southern United States would believe. PS, I fucking hate it when American spell checkers tell me I am spelling words wrong because I used the English spelling. We invented the fucking language! How do you spell checkers? |
