now im ignorant to running a p2p currency. so if the answer is nothing weird. my apologies for even bringing it up. but being invested i deserve a answer and couldnt find anything using search.
Now in very vague terms i was looking at the code sending and receiving from the client. and i seen it connect to giraffe.heliacal.net . i thought hmm strange. went to it and found it to be connect to the personal site of some dude who codes and whatnot. turns out its the personal site of Laszlo Hanyecz. one the creators found of the main page. Now im under the impression that bitcoin was decentralized and ran from users computers. why does it need to go to any website yet alone a strangely named blank directory of one of the creators personal sites?
now this has only connected to his site once so far and ive checked about 10,000+ codes.
does this comprimise its decentralized nature? why would it connect to that site?
tl;dr - wut giraffe.heliacal.net do?
