Please clarify bitcoin.org's private ownership
Maybe do so in "About" section

Is bitcoin.org owned by the Bitcoin Foundation?

MacPorts-installed Bitcoin Core's version v0.12.1.0g9779e1e crashes on OSX when trying to open the debug window while the app is verifying the blocks at startup.

My english is far from perfect but trying to translate I have seen some sentences with imperfections.

String n.18 on transifex: - Wallet authors tracking spent bitcoins: it's easiest to monitor the status of your own outgoing transactions by simply looking them up by txid. But in...

I would have used "it's easier" or "it's the easiest way".

String n.36 on transifex: "In essence, doubling the size of a transaction increases can double both the number of signature operations, and the amount of data that has to be hashed for each of those signatures to be verified. This has been seen in the wild, where an individual block required 25 seconds to validate, and maliciously designed transactions could take over 3 minutes."

"doubling the size of a transaction increases" should be "doubling the size of a transaction"

https://bitcoincore.org/en/lifecycle/ still says 0.14 release date is TBA.

Just found out about https://bitcoinhardforkresearch.github.io/

Since all that research is done by Bitcoin Core contributors, seems logical that it would be linked from bitcoincore.org

Possibly, could create a "Additional ressources" page for content not directly contributed by the bitcoincore.org contributors?

I noticed many people directly thinks Core = Blockstream...If we could show them https://www.blockstream.com/team/ and for example https://bitcoin.org/en/dev-team for compare, it would be easy way to argument and "verify" who from Core works for Blockstream...Bitcoin classic has it on their homepage...

So please add list of developers, who are actively contributing to Core so we can show it to world, that many devs support Core...not only for the Blockstream FUD issue, but generaly..every project has a list of team members

All the good and positive
please tell me what is the problem
hanging for a week and can not sync
He writes - Source units available
How is it treated?
Thanks to all

Who are the site owners and what kind of FUD are they going to be posting to the detriment of the community?

I have noticed in the release notes for 0.13.1 and 0.13.2 that my contributions to the project were not mentioned, nor was I mentioned in the credits section. Is this intentional?

Hi,
I'd like to insert QUOINE's position (https://quoinex.com, https://qryptos.com) as WIP (exchange, trading, financial services). Thanks!

Why this files are different?

Looks like the language dropdown needs an update after #28. Sometimes it shows only English.

• "Deutsche" in the translation dropdown should read "Deutsch" (#9)
• Also shouldn't the English sources show up if no German translation is available? #13
• Travis should run on pulls
• The website should link to "https://github.com/bitcoin-core/website" (maybe in "About"?) (#10)
• The license is MIT, so the "© 2016 Bitcoin Core." text should link to the MIT license text. #15
• Design should look more "modern" and "trustworthy". (Maybe take it from https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/ ?)
• Does the website comply with the EU cookie law (maybe something like http://www.imaginit.net/legal.cfm#q7)?

Tengo un error o fallo de mi cartera a la cual le envíe dinero a través de BlockChain y nunca llego a mi cartera, Su soporte me explico que el pago podría durar entre 1 a 3 hora pero ya a pasado 3 dias y el programa no muestra nada de dinero en la cuenta, también muestra una barra cargando diciendo ¨Sincronizando con la red¨ pero nunca carga.

I would like to include some guides on how to run a node, and get the code up and running. Currently download links for Binaries and various source version would need to go to Bitcoin.org.

Do you think we could add them on this site for availability to expand some of the resources, and make it clear bitcoincore software is available from bitcoincore?

How i can create a channel for our country name Bangladesh at slack?

Need to move downloads from bitcoin.org. Should be easily accessible/findable from the main page.

Hi!

Good effort on the website, I'm glad this is happening.

An RSS feed for the blog/articles would be a nice addition.

Could you maybe add the node stats to the segwit adoption page?

https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/

I think it's worth to notice that already more than 60% of the community nodes want to run segwit!

Is it just me or does the font look odd? I was thinking about proposing 2 or 3 different fonts and then vote which one looks best?

Bitquiet,Inc , one geek game

Great site but in the last few days when I view the site I have often seen all the content missing. Just went to this page now: https://bitcoincore.org/en/blog/ On this page in the content area all I see is:

Blog

Show your support

Nothing in between.

Same time I check the language drop down and see just "English" as an option. However I am sure I saw other language options before.

Checking the contribute page: https://bitcoincore.org/en/contribute/ I see this:

Page Not Found

Sorry, but the page you were trying to view does not exist, try searching for it below.

Other things to try:

Search https://bitcoincore.org:

I refreshed my browser and same appears on Chrome and Safari browsers.

Right now the only page that seems to be working is: https://bitcoincore.org/en/supporters

Reported by cjcj / IRC:

[16:24:21]  <cjcj>  Just an FYI: none of the GPG keys listed https://bitcoincore.org/en/list/announcements/join/ are reachable

The ToC of the RBF FAQ overlaps with the header navigation, and it looks a bit messy this way in my opinion:

If you would like to add your signature in support of the Capacity Increase Roadmap 2015-12-21 page on the bitcoincore.org website, please add your name and company and position if applicable in a comment below. If support is from the company as a whole please make that clear.

Happy to see this website!

Could you consider adding a list of people who ACK the website and a system for people to add/remove themselves to this list? Like what was done for this post:

bitcoin-dot-org/Bitcoin.org#1165

Or perhaps even do so for each page/post on the site.

When just looking at the "recent posts", it seems like there is less progress than there actually is.

In my opinion it would be nice, if new content would be immediately visible on the front page, such as new posts about the dev meetings.

On a related note: some kind of newsletter to inform about new posts would be nice, too.

"After all, the transaction has been explicitly marked as replaceable, and even without RBF, nLocktime may result in a conflict getting confirmed first."

What is this getting at exactly?

Is there an interest in adding a list of clients for bitcoin (e.g. go-bitcoin, bitcoin (JS), bitcoin-python, etc) on the main website?

Secondly, would you like to host the popular JS client https://npmjs.com/bitcoin under the bitcoin-core organization?

Reported by Lauda on IRC.

For the sake of intellectual honesty, the FAQ should explain that Blockstream, a private for profit company, is exerting monetary influence upon many core devs to support a payment network that they have a stake in, reducing privacy and enabling rent seeking behavior at the expense of bitcoin users, stakeholders and the community. The FAQ should also note that this influence is also discouraging exploration and implementations of simple, open and decentralized solutions such as increasing the block size to enable more individuals and businesses to participate in the bitcoin economy in a way that does not render them vulnerable to Blockstream's machinations and schemes.

Though, needs some work work than just

Improved Rules for Transaction Relaying

Up until now, a certain amount of relaying bandwidth has been reserved for transactions with low to zero fees (also known as “free” transactions). The issue with this setup is that all other transactions (those with moderately low to high fees) have to fight for less available relaying space.

To better serve transaction senders, nodes will no longer be guaranteed to relay a certain number of free transactions and will now be able to decide more freely which transactions to relay.

This is incorrect for a couple reasons. First, the described behavior is just a side effect of mempool limiting, not something we explicitly intended to do. Second, I actually attempted to reverse this effect, by proposing a PR (bitcoin/bitcoin#6992) that would have re-enabled some relaying of free transactions based on "priority", but the consensus in Core was to deprecate priority, so that code was never merged -- given that, it's a little odd to give me "credit" for "improving" transaction relay.

I checked with @btcdrak and @shea256, and it seems like this was a misunderstanding of what the text in section "Relay and Mining: Priority transactions" from the 0.12 release notes is saying. I can't think of anything relevant to include here in the announcement, so I think this heading and the text in this section should just be removed.

For the mailing list if you provide an email that was already on the mailing list you get the message:

'We have sent you an email to confirm your subscription to the Bitcoin Core announcements list.'

No email gets sent. It would be better if it said something like:

'You have already subscribed to the Bitcoin Core announcements list.'

Minor issue :). I must of signed up months ago and was confused why it did not let me sign up when I tried now.

I am not sure if it can be easily fixed, since you guys use https://sendy.co/ for emails right? Maybe thats just how sendy works.

EDIT: Sendy does seem to have a have subscription-status api call https://sendy.co/api

EDIT:

If you provided your email but have not yet confirmed, and provide your email again, you will be shown the same message again and receive a new confirmation email.

So that is working correctly.

Also, to clarify, the mailing list does not subscribe you to receive the articles added to the blog or faq section, right?

Can't add a PR for a company that just announced support..

It would be handy to have a FAQ/IBD menu entry on the web so we can redirect people when asking why Bitcoin Core GUI is not doing anything on the first run, why it is consuming 100% CPU and IO at the first run etc.

Hello , please can some one help me for the Error reading from data base, shutting down. i was just 12 week behind sync. but this error coming again again , i have already re installed the bitcore-qt also data base backup also after the error is same.

Can we check the dates for the EOL policy on https://bitcoincore.org/en/lifecycle/? AFAIK 02-31 doesn't exist in any year. What are the actual dates for that?

GFW can sometimes block Google CDNs (ajax.googleapis which we use for jquery is a common issue), so we shouldn't be using that.

Now that we have our own server hosting, we are not longer stuck with Github Pages particular Jekyll bundle and plugins and we can start using our own plugins too where necessary.

This is an open todo list, I'll add more as topics come up.

• nested dropdown navigation
• segwit adoption page (which wallets have adopted/will adopt)
• software life cycle (to communicate release dates, maintenance schedules and EOL [in progress]
• privacy policy
• legal page
• security page with information on how to responsibly report security vulnerabilities to Bitcoin Core
• homepage landing page @jonasschnelli
• show English version when translation is not available
• supported BIPs
• allow users to show support for the project
• add footer of major supporters
• add twitter feed
• RSS feed for meetings
• Transifex translation process

s/should remain to be/will remain/

The page I noticed the issue is here: https://bitcoincore.org/en/segwit_wallet_dev/

The serialization format is cut off for me. An option to view the desktop version of the site would be helpful (like what Github has), scrolling left/right for those divs, or text wrapping.

BTW kudos to whoever wrote that, it looks pretty useful.

The team page fails to list @jgarzik and @gavinandresen, these are Bitcoin Core's most senior contributors. They rank #1 and #2 on the Bitcoin project and are two of the only five people with the private keys needed to make changes to Bitcoin. Gavin is Bitcoin's chief scientist.

It is hard to believe they were left off by mistake.

People are doing vile things, supposedly in support of Bitcoin Core. These attacks reflect very badly on Core. Some examples:

Censoring large forums to hide the existing of other teams/clients.
DDoS'ing Bitcoin XT nodes and pools.
DDoS'ing Coinbase.
Removing Coinbase from bitcoin.org

Since these things reflect very badly on the Core team, it would be good to have a public announcement, distancing the team from those attacks and discouraging those attacks since they are not helping anyone.

I'll be AFK for the IRC meetings of: 16/02, 23/02, 02/03, 09/03, 16/03 and 23/03.

It would be great if someone could take over writing the meeting summaries during those meetings.
