|
|
Licence: GNU GPL v3
|
|
Author: thomasv@gitorious
|
|
Language: Python
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
* The server uses a patched version of the Bitcoin daemon that can
|
|
forward transactions, and bitcoin-abe * The server code is open
|
|
source. Anyone can run a server, removing single points of failure
|
|
concerns.
|
|
|
|
* The server knows which set of Bitcoin addresses belong to the same
|
|
wallet, which might raise concerns about anonymity. However, it should
|
|
be possible to write clients capable of using several servers.
