Hi, I'm getting started to work to the Italian translation, here it is my fork link: https://github.com/Joif/bitcoin.org

Started translation into Dutch.

The fork is here: https://github.com/whenlit/bitcoin.org

this is just to tell that I am working on the translation, if someone is interested.

There is a big difference between two kinds of "web wallets".

Coinbase controls and does not reveal your own private keys to you, so your coins are ultimately only as safe as coinbase is safe to continue its operations.

This is very different from blockchain.info where which does client-side javascript operations and is not in possession of users' keys and the user should not lose the coins (assuming wallet backup was properly done) if / when blockchain.info goes offline.

Proposed solution: Add a new section "Hybrid Wallets" and place blockchain.info into it, reserve "Web Wallets" only for coinbase and other sites that control users' private keys.

Cheers ...

I am asking permission to setup Google Analytics on bitcoin.org .

I would create a dedicated Google account for this task and make the password available to the core developers. I think that there is a lot instructive statistics and informations that we can get from there.

Started on Japanese translation.

Fork is here:

Who owns the Facebook page linked on the homepage?
https://www.facebook.com/bitcoins

I think that it can be a good idea to also open a Google Plus official page, and link it.

Mike has appeared in the press several times and they just love his coins. I will contact him and ask if he's willing to be up there.

In bitcoing.org/[language code]/community.html, line 7, there is a typo:

<h1>Bitcoin communities</h1>
<ul class="ressources"> 
<li><a href="https://bitcoinfoundation.org/forum/">Bitcoin Foundation Forum (members only)</a></li>

I suppose it should be

<ul class="resources">

and not ressources

These articles do a great job of showcasing Bitcoin, brilliant work by Joerg, Mike and the others who appear in it. We should have it up on the press page at the top of the list so other media outlets can see how it can be done.

The text of links appears on top of the end of the text immediately before them.
The page renders correctly after a refresh.

The previous issue of the content of the Press page has been closed, and the content pushed. To not endlessly argue, and actually get something live, I think this is great.

The issue was closed with the message:

"The Press center has been merged. All points of contention has been addressed and the texts has been deeply reviewed. Any further change can be done via a separate Github issue."

Here is that issue. I would like to strongly suggest that Roger Ver be added to the press page, and thought we could use this issue to argue our points.

My argument:

Roger Ver is an excellent and experienced speaker, with the ability to speak at the right level for his audience. He is well-known in the community, and has a good reputation.
He has invested in many Bitcoin projects, and is well connected with many Bitcoin businesses.

Here are some videos:

http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/2297014298001/should-bitcoin-be-regulated/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4d_29vJlB4

Because of these reasons, I believe Roger Ver should be added to the press page.

With regards to Jon Matonis, I think he is an adequate speaker, but a stronger writer. I have no strong feelings either way on his inclusion on the press page.

Spanish translation is ongoing there :
https://github.com/ernestova/bitcoin.org

Most common conversations about bitcoin begin with the newly introduced person raising the same tired concerns over and over again.

Proposed Solution: There should be a "Common Concerns" or "Myths" section some where very prominent on the site, with its content coming from here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Myths

They are cut off at either left or right side, with no way to pan or zoom.

See picture.

Sorry if this isn't the right place, but is there a discussion regarding the overall redesign of bitcoin.org? I've forked the repo and refreshed it myself, and have some big concerns with the latest redesign. I'd just like to be part of the discussion. Thanks.

Add a section that has "Developers' Alerts" that has an RSS feed available. This would provide alerts and information about incidents such as the recent data appends and hard fork. A Wordpress installation in a subfolder or subdomain (alerts.bitcoin.org).

Can someone create this email account and forward it to [removed]

Just started translating into German here https://github.com/pparson/bitcoin.org/

I wanted to make some changes, but letting Jekyll serve the files locally through WEBrick displays broken images. SVGs are not given the correct content-type.

Jekyll's fix seems to be in the next release. This will be a temporary fix.

Hi,
I just created fork for Polish translation here: https://github.com/kamilzola/bitcoin.org
Moreover I found out that _contrib/translate script need adjustments for mac's version of sed. I added if-else statement which checks if uname -s returns "Darwin".

From the curent website, the description says:
"[...] it allows you to recover your wallet from an encrypted online backup"

I don't know who is to blame for that, and I don't want to look for it, but this is just plain wrong. Electrum is a deterministic wallet just like Armory, and nothing is stored online except in the blockchain.

Today I received this message in my forum inbox, from another developer:

[quote]
Not saying it's voluntary at all; but if you create the official Bitcoin website you should do your research. Coincidentally I got a friend of a friend who just made the remark "Don't tell people you are using Electrum because they can hack you online.." perhaps the things are related.

When you add the page to the home screen, it would be nice if the icon was the bitcoin icon, not a web screenshot.

Here is the code to use. Image sizes are 57x57 and 114x114.

<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="/touch-icon-iphone.png"/>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="114x114" href="/touch-icon-iphone-retina.png"/>

This is the bug that has been in client and daemon since very beginning. Intention of setaccount command is essentially to rename existing account. For some reason, from very beginning, it was reallocating old label to some other address. Can we get rid of this?

There is no other means to rename the label using XMLRPC without creating artefacts.

Alternatively, is it possible to introduce another XMLRPC command designed to rename label on account?

Value setaccount(const Array& params, bool fHelp)
{
if (fHelp || params.size() < 1 || params.size() > 2)
throw runtime_error(
"setaccount \n"
"Sets the account associated with the given address.");

CBitcoinAddress address(params[0].get_str());
if (!address.IsValid())
    throw JSONRPCError(-5, "Invalid bitcoin address");


string strAccount;
if (params.size() > 1)
    strAccount = AccountFromValue(params[1]);

// Detect when changing the account of an address that is the 'unused current key' of another account:
//if (pwalletMain->mapAddressBook.count(address))
//{
//    string strOldAccount = pwalletMain->mapAddressBook[address];
//    if (address == GetAccountAddress(strOldAccount))
//        GetAccountAddress(strOldAccount, true);
//}

pwalletMain->SetAddressBookName(address, strAccount);

return Value::null;

}

Hi,

I'm running into difficulty generating the site in the appropriate directories. Jekyll defaults to _site, which is what is listed in the docs here. But it looks like some files, like HTML and some IMGs should be placed in the respective language folder.

What's the workflow here? Is there a config option I'm missing? How do I generate the site across different directories? Or do I need to?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Is there a reason to use this doc type? It seems a strange choice considering the advancements in markup since it's release.

Is it worth making a list of other potential contacts for the press center on the http://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-for-press page?

This is separate to the issue of whether Jon Matonis or Roger Ver should be included. I'm thinking of gathering suggestions for other people who may be suitable to be included on the press page.

I haven't contacted anyone yet or even know if they would be interested but to start I will suggest some names below:

Vitalik Buterin - head writer at the bitcoinmagazine.com. Writes well and has a good understanding of bitcoin and bitcoin related topics in my opinion.

Peter Šurda - writes the http://www.economicsofbitcoin.com/ blog. Could discuss the economic aspects of bitcoin.

I'm sure there are many others. What do others think? Is it a good idea to suggest other potential candidates to grow the list? What other potential candidates would be good to be included in the list?

Maybe link to the wiki page?

Better if we can make something standalone.

I've rarely seen an inconsistent bug like this one in a browser.

Google Chrome inconsistently switch between UbuntuBold and sans-serif font for menus and titles. Refreshing the page does not allow the right font to load. Google chrome can even have two tabs open on the same page and show different fonts on each, that will remains even if both are refreshed.

This bug has not been reproduced on any other browser and it seems to appear since the recent design changes. But everything I tried so far didn't let me identify the source of the problem.

Meanwhile, it does not prevent content to be served. But it's inconsistent for the user.

On page http://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet I believe there is a typo.

It says,
"Web wallets allow you to use Bitcoin anywhere with less do to protect your wallet."

It should say,
"Web wallets allow you to use Bitcoin anywhere with less to do to protect your wallet."
or even better,
"Web wallets allow you to use Bitcoin anywhere with less effort to protect your wallet."

Someone suggested something like this:

Are we seriously going with http://174.142.20.146/en/ ?

There's too much information, there is some crazy matrix-style numbers down the sides, buttons are in the wrong place, and it's confusing to navigate.

Are most people agreed on this new design? Please let's not forget our audience.

I noticed a few comments of people that seemed to be unsure about the title "Enthusiasts" and it is hard to translate in french. And a few people didn't seem to associate "Organization" with "merchants". So I am suggesting to rename "Organizations" to "Businesses" and "Enthusiasts" to "Innovation".

This would also allows us to have more nice content focused on future applications and benefts of Bitcoin in that page in the future.

The README.md doesn't mention the OS that is needed for running the commands like "apt-get".

Under Ubuntu 12.10, I was able to just install everything needed by

sudo apt-get install jekyll

I think blockchain.info is the most accessible wallet for new users.

Why has it been removed from the wallet page?

Hope this is the right place--bit of a github noob, I'm afraid.

Right now the press page on bitcoin.org is very US-heavy and it would be nice to have a good geographical distribution of people since media often want to pull you in to a studio for interviews rather than just chat by phone or email.

I'm happy to be on there as a Canadian contact--before I stepped back from doing press for a while we were mainly getting low-quality features so the only worthwhile example I have handy is this radio interview starting at around 3:15. It was a remote and they were having technical issues so it got cut up quite a bit, but Brent is a great guy and had really done his homework, so it turned out decently. It sounds like he was feeding me questions, but that's just because he had to redo most of his audio afterwards :) . Wow, really takes me back listening to Plato talk about his road trip! Hard to believe this was less than two years ago.

Anyways, back on topic. Perhaps we could get more international suggestions in the comments to this issue?

Can you add somewhere on the homepage a link to this?
https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/bitcoin/resource/tx/

There must be also a text to incentive people to participate.

Several of the images already showed up in the media despite no promotion on the site, so this is a very strong signal they should be included. He's done a few videos too.
