We are pleased to introduce the first release of Hive Web, a mobile web wallet that supports multicurrencies. It currently supports Bitcoin and Litecoin but other cryptocurrencies will be offered soon. It has Waggle, a geolocation feature, which allows users to transact quicker with people nearby. It is an HD wallet so we do not hold your keys on our server. Please keep your seed phrase safe. If you lose it, you lose your coins! It's pretty awesome, but it’s also brand spanking new. Things can still go wrong, so we’d recommend you do not store too many coins in here just yet. If you do find any issues, please let us know via the support link in the app.

Hi Theymos,
We've written to you a few times privately about this. gmaxwell suggested trying this approach. :-)
We simply want to change the username of this account from 'grabhive' to 'hivewallet'. That's it! Thanks for your time!

 Hi everyone, Hot on the heels of our acquisition of Jan Vornberger's Bridgewalker wallet for Android, we are today pleased to announce today the acquisition of Taylor Gerring's PAYTHRU.to, a service that allows users to easily send Bitcoin via SMS, Twitter, and Facebook. Taylor has also joined the Hive team and will be furthering our social network and services integrations for all platforms. As with all of our products, PAYTHRU.to will be open-sourced and made available for community collaboration. Taylor: I'm thrilled to be joining the Hive team and integrating PAYTHRU notifications with the Hive experience. In the near future, the code behind PAYTHRU will be open-sourced, allowing other developers to extend the platform to even more services, reaching more users. Looking forward, I'm exciting to work on making Hive the absolute best Bitcoin wallet in the world. Wendell: When we first met Taylor and saw what he was doing with PAYTHRU, we knew it was a match sanctioned by unspeakable entities in heavens both above and below. As such we could not be happier to have him join our team, and we look forward to rabbles being roused in some grand old style. PAYTHRU.to's public repo will open in early January.

Hi everyone, Hive is looking for a business law attorney who can work with us on a future, Bitcoin-based fundraising event. He or she should be able to deal with encrypted email and (of course) accept Bitcoin for services rendered. Interested parties, please contact w@grabhive.com with relevant details and your public key. Thanks! PS- We met Daniel Friedberg in San Jose, but he seems to no longer be affiliated with Graham & Dunn. Anyone know what happened to him?

 Hi everyone, We are extremely pleased to announce the acquisition of Jan Vornberger's Bridgewalker wallet for Android. We are also extremely pleased to announce that Jan will be joining the Hive team. Hive for Android will be available in late spring, 2014.Wendell: Jan is an absolute legend in the community. Many will recall his early successes, including InstaWallet and Bitcoin Monitor. We could not be more excited to have him on board. Together we will build an extremely user-friendly Android wallet and extend our app platform into the mobile space. Jan: I am excited about the acquisition of Bridgewalker by Hive and am looking very much forward to joining the Hive team. I will be focusing foremost on bringing the Hive experience to the Android platform. Nevertheless, Bridgewalker will continue operating and I am excited about exploring this approach further with the help of the Hive team! Hive for Android's public repo will open in early January.

Ref: Let There Be Dark!Greetings from Bitcoin Singapore! Hive will be attending unSYSTEM's DarkWallet meeting in Milan on the week of the 24th. We propose that the outcome of this meeting be, at minimum, the establishment of a v1 "Dark Wallet Certification", a set of best-practice guidelines for wallets focused on decentralization and anonymity. This topic is has been opened in order to get the community thinking about what exactly a "Dark Wallet" should be: We assume the use of Tor, CoinJoin, CoinSwap and other such developments. We assume the lack of centralized services wherever possible. We presume that we can evolve ideas about authentication (see the work of John Light, Joe Casico etc)... Still, our ignorance is vast and we would like to come armed at this meeting, with your feedback. What ideas or thoughts do you all have?

Hi everyone,
We are looking to move our email away from Google. Is anyone using Gossimer or any of the other email providers that support Bitcoin payments? If one of you have experience with them or any other provider, we would really appreciate the feedback here!
Thanks guys!

Hi everyone, We're having a discussion over here in the Hive camp, about how best to handle the user experience of juggling multiple wallets, which could also theoretically involve handling multiple currencies and hosted, remote wallets. Right now, the approach looks like this:  Selecting a wallet from the main interface changes the context of the whole application -- and by context we mean everything from balance to the fact that we no longer see Apps not related to that currency when switching to another (tl;dr: if a BTC wallet were active, and an LTC wallet is selected, we only see LTC-supporting apps in the menu). We think that to keep user confusion to a minimum, there should be no other way to switch wallets, so it should not appear in the Send window. In the case where the currencies were compatible, we would include that wallet as a "contact" in the other wallets, to facilitate easy transfer from wallet to wallet (but please note that we may not otherwise make Contacts context-aware):  What do you all think of this? Does anyone have any brighter UX insights? Keep in mind that Hive in particular should be easy to use for an inexperienced user. We haven't before opened such a discussion to the general Bitcoin community, so we thought we would try it as an experiment and see what happens. Please keep it friendly and on-topic. If this devolves into a fight about Lightcoin vs Bitcoin or other nonsense, we'll make this decision on our own and probably not bother with this exercise again. FYI, the original post about this was on our GitHub, which is where the final decisions will be made: https://github.com/hivewallet/hive-osx/issues/45Thanks!
