Version bits.



We no longer release the source for mobile wallets for now, the source for desktop wallets will continue to remain on Github as it has always been.

I'm personally a huge fan of open source in my private capacity and generally default to wanting to open source everything - but nothing is ever the right solution in all circumstances, it is wrong to just do things without first thinking about them, in this case after careful consideration we have realised that applying open source here just for the sake of it would not be the correct thing to do.

Reasons are multiple, I'm not going to go into all the details but in short we don't feel that anyone compiles mobile wallets anyway or that any of our actual mobile users are ever going to read the source code and that basically there is very little benefit to any of our mobile users from the code being open.
At the same time having this code open helps to prop up this toxic scam system that is the current "crypto community" and we don't want to be a part of that, as you can see (if you read a few posts above this, or anywhere in the last few pages of this topic) we endure constant attacks from various people within this toxic community whose only interest is short term profit at any cost and who have no interest in actually seeing Crypto become something that is adopted by the mainstream. While we aren't of course actively going to do anything against these coins we don't want to go out of our way to make it easy for them to copy us either.

This is of course quite possibly a temporary situation, we feel that in the next few years the crypto market is going to mature greatly, with coins like us leading the way with proper development the room for scammers to operate in is going to rapidly dry up, and at that point we might be quite happy to change our minds.
