ANNOUNCEMENT: New Rarebit* client (alpha) is online now:

http://rarebit.github.io/project/

Full client that runs in the browser with a modern UI.  Loads, hashes, issues editions, and transfers lots of digital works.  Shows/plays supported media in app background.  In this implementation, issue transactions carry the author's signature and thus serve as timestamped certificates of authenticity.

Release notes:

There are bugs.  This alpha downloads from Testnet (when Sync is selected).  An author/owner identity can be created, then seed funding can be added using a testnet faucet (instructions in app).  Issue transactions will post, but not xfer transactions yet due to a bug (they will still be added to internal cache to simulate the xfer for demonstration).

The option to add a URL (pointer to content) to an issue tx is not yet implemented.

Firefox is recommended (TOR browser).  Some minimal testing was performed on a version of Chrome.


* The Rarebit protocol works by associating the hash of digital content with a small amount of bitcoin value, producing a 'token' that is provably bound to the content it represents. The token is also provably bound to the author.  Proves existence, authorship, originality.
