A GIFT TO THE COMMUNITY

After the claims have all been filed and dealt with we will be releasing the entire MyBitcoin processing engine into the public domain. Our only hope is that the community can improve and adapt the software to all sorts of new and interesting Bitcoin-related things.

-----------------   The question is WHEN will this "gift to the community" be actually given?

The "technology" is definitely outdated by now.  No big loss.

Why do you say that?  Has the Bitcoin protocol changed that much?


@OP, when might this open sourcing happen?

I should clarify.  What I meant to say is that it is outdated as a wallet service.  Perhaps it could be re-adapted for other purposes.

Fair enough.  Some of the underlying technology might still be adaptable to current uses though.

It probably won't ever be released, since being able to analyze the coding style would make it easier to track down "Tom Williams".  After the internet detective stuff that's already happened, they're not going to want to provide any more resources to their pursuers.
