Bitcoin foundation email. What is this supposed to mean ?

[Smack That Ace]

I got this email and i am not sure what it is trying to tell us

Any ideas ?


Dear Bitcoin user,

When the New York Department of Financial Services officially announced (pg. 14) its "BitLicense" regulatory proposal in the New York State Register, it said in its legally required statement of needs and benefits:
Extensive research and analysis by the Department of Financial Services ... has made clear the need for a new and comprehensive set of regulations that address the novel aspects and risks of digital currency.

Thus we are asked to update bitcoin transaction methods in order to facilitate more transparent bitcoin transfers. As of end of April bitcoin network WILL NOT support old transfer methods, but worry not this will be a smooth transition.

Please see the instctions how to configure your bitcoin client and full press release
in this document.

Sincerely,

This is definitely an attempt to infect your computer with coin stealing malware. We know the bitcoin foundation well enough to see they do not send nice emails to bitcoin users and help them with bitcoin issues.  

Edit: Another similar thread on this phishing email:

I never click links in any "official" emails.

Those emails goes to the "sand box" for the cats to play with. 

Do you really think people care about any email send to them from the foundation?

Just click on "delete" and empty your trash folder.... update your spam filter.

Saw a few threads recently collecting email address. One saying it pay user who email their Bitcoin address. Another say it pay user to email 'someone' happy birthday.. I'm lucky that I did not send any email. Thus, I did not receive any phishing Bitcoin mail.
