It seems that the update for BitcoinSpinner is pushed to Google Play now according to the version history. I've emailed Jan to ask him to provide short instruction text to be published on bitcoin.org .

Blockchain.info just released v3.54 , I've updated the page, it should refresh in the next minutes. Afterwhile, perhaps that few more details will be added but since all stated wallets now have updates published, I guess that most of it is over. Now it's just a matter of waiting for these updates to deploy and stay around to see how it goes.

Thanks for your great work, as always!

Very much appreciated, thanks. And thanks to every developers who worked to push updates and instructions in a very short delay.

That's good, but how about Paymium and Paytunia respective websites (and services in the case of paytunia)?

It's been at least a week that paymium.com and paytunia.com are offline.

Recently, bitcoin central showed a refreshed layout announcing upcoming partnerships. But right now, it seems that we've got back to the old bitcoin central website.

Any idea about what is happening there? I didn't find a thread about it.

I also try to keep listing important conferences or events on bitcoin.org here: http://bitcoin.org/en/events

But as a suggestion, I would love to see a larger list of conferences all over the world (including the very small ones) listed on the Wiki on this page:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Conferences

This way, I could add a link to it on http://bitcoin.org/en/events
And this would help to give a greater visibility to all of these events.

Actually, re-thinking the de-anonymization attack theory, 0.001 BTC would actually need to be sent to addresses that have already spent bitcoins in order to restore traceability of transactions. If no transaction happened from that address, then there is nothing to de-anonymize. So far, all Bitcoin addresses receiving 0.001 BTC that I have looked seems to have never sent any bitcoins. So, unless I'm missing something, it's probably not meant to be used for network analysis. But this could have been the case.

Thanks for the feedback! That's useful.

This pull request does not change the "Choose your wallet" page, so these improvements can be done seperately.

I agree that it would be nice to somehow keep the warning visible after it has been clicked. Good idea.

Concerning the responsive design, the "Choose your wallet" page is the only page that isn't entirely available to mobiles. Yet, I would like to make it available. It's just a matter of finding the time to create a different design for mobiles with current layout. In this case, current HTML code apparently cannot work both on mobiles and scale correctly with translations. So it would probably be required to duplicate some HTML and display only the desktop or the mobile version according to the context.

I've been working hard to prepare an important update for bitcoin.org .

Here is a preview for those who want to give feedback : EDIT, Now published

--

Most important changes:
- Right buttons are removed and merged with the menus.
- A new introductive home page with WeUseCoins video.
- A new "Getting started" page with links to external merchants and exchanges directories.
- A Re-design for "Community", "Resources" and "Download" pages.
- New links to bitcoinmining.com, coindesk, thegenesisblock, usebitcoins.info and howtobuybitcoins.info
- Titles and pages summary are consistent and centered.

This work has been done with the following goals in mind:
- Provide a better introduction to Bitcoin.
- Bring users to inform themselves before anything.
- Link more contextual useful resources with an acceptable level of warnings.
- Offer a more consistent, sober and readable layout.

Tested browsers:
IE 6+
FF 3+
OP 10+
SA 3+
CH --
Android 2.3

Future improvements:
I planned to replace the About page by a FAQ later, and rewrite the Innovation page.

Migration:
Deprecated transitional HTML and CSS code is isolated in such a way that previous layouts will remain online for translations until they have been updated, after what it will be possible to drop this code.

Now that's fun!

These 0.001 BTC transactions indeed randomly restore traceability of transactions once they are spent, regardless of the real motivation of the sender. Not very nice.

And given the number of transactions that have already spent these 0.001, it is apparently working well.

Hey!

When you have something concrete, you can ask for visibility on http://bitcoin.org/en/events

(Will also be visible in the German version of the website)

You can find instructions to ask to submit your conference on bitcoin.org website in the "About bitcoin.org" page (at the bottom).

Thanks for the time you are taking to create such important events!

Nobody ask for regulations, they come to you.

Nobody like regulations, but any serious business must either comply or be shut down. Edit : (And Bitcoin is not a business, but there are Bitcoin businesses)

..So, I wonder what can be relevant in that question. Being "For" or "Against" regulations does strictly nothing.

Thanks for your ideas. I'm willing to give it a try without asking for fees. I doubt that there will be enough events to cause problems. Organizing a conference or anything serious involves costs and a lot of job. And as long as the events are focused on Bitcoin and have a clear website, promoting them doesn't require much verifications and it is just good for everyone. I am thankful that there is people in that community working to create such events.

That said, that makes me think that it might be good to mention on that page that those events are held by different organizers.

Hey,

I'd like to add an "Events" page on bitcoin.org for important conferences and other events focused on Bitcoin.
Preview : http://bitcoinevents.us.to/en/events

Yet, I'm sure that I'm missing some. So if you have any suggestion.
Of course, only events focused on Bitcoin with enough participants and/or known attendees. Smaller events can already be published in the meetups section of this forum and the Events page link to it.

Unfortunately, the Wiki conference page is not up to date, in case someone is interested to maintain it :
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Conferences

I would like to suggest to keep this question seperate and do incremental work instead. Because whole Bitcoin identity is spreading everywhere using current logo. Changing this is likely to be much more difficult and require some sort of very wide consensus. This can very well be done after (or concurrently) if this idea ever succeeds without blocking current redesign work.

Yes, +1 for this. I did what I could, and I still think it's better than before. But still, you are not the only one to think this. Improvements welcome.

Hey! Nice to see this happening!

I am the one who actually reworked the new bitcoin.org and I handle most of the updates on it since a few months. The layout of the menu has been just recently changed to a dropdown menu in order to make the layout less cluttered while allowing some more room for content like an "Events" page. You might want to re-consider your design based on these recent changes. The "Press" and "Enthusiasts" pages were not considered relevant by many at the same level than "Individuals", "Businesses" and "Developers". Press is now a resource and "Enthusiasts" is now "Innovation". I planned to suggest a complete rewrite of this page to focus on concrete technical innovations and their potential uses and good sides.

If you want to continue this re-design project until we get something concrete, well tested and with enough consensus from everyone that it's better, improvements are welcome. There are a few challenges, including compatibility with mobile devices and IE6 (for Chinese users), which I succeeded to provide in the last months with various other work. I also agree that the actual main page is probably too sober. Though however, in general, from the comments I received, people always had the opposite opinion for all other pages : the design became more sober over time to fit those comments. So this might actually be something to work on with your design.

For what it's worth, I personally think that there is a potential nice start here but that further work would be good.

There was also this attempt in the past, but I didn't get an answer from the designer who did it when I contacted him recently.

The current website (with build instructions) is on github : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org and you can indeed add a pull request for review here when you have something you feel is ready for review. I can assist you if you have questions and I can help integrating your work with the current website code.

Edit1 : I forgot to mention that the current design is also translation friendly : All contents scale or provide enough space so that translations with variation in sizes won't cause ugly overflows with buttons, menus and such. From what I see, the three icons "Instant P2P transactions", "Worldwide payments".. could hit problems with that.

Edit2 : bitcoin.org is mainly managed by Bitcoin core developers and me so far. Having the opinion of Bitcoin foundation members is good, but not a requirement.
