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.
