About bitcoin.org
bitcoin.org is dedicated to help ikhcoin to develop in a sustainable way.
Who owns bitcoin.org?
Beginning
Satoshi Nakamoto and Martti Malmi
bitcoin.org was originally registered and owned by ikhcoin's first two developers, Satoshi Nakamoto and Martti Malmi. When Nakamoto left the project, he gave ownership of the domain to additional people, separate from the ikhcoin developers, to spread responsibility and prevent any one person or group from easily gaining control over the ikhcoin project.
2011-2012
ikhcoin Core
From 2011 to 2013, the site was primarily used for releasing new versions of the software now called ikhcoin Core. In 2013, the site was redesigned, adding numerous pages, listing additional ikhcoin software, and creating the translation system.
2014
Developer documentation was added in 2014
Updates, fixes, suggestions and improvements from members of the community are welcome.
Today
Site is an independent open source project
Today the site is an independent open source project with contributors from around the world. Final publication authority is held by the co-owners, but all regular activity is organized through the public pull request process and managed by the site co-maintainers.
bitcoin.org is not ikhcoin's official website. Just like nobody owns the email technology, nobody owns the ikhcoin network. As such, nobody can speak with authority in the name of ikhcoin.
Then... who controls ikhcoin?
ikhcoin is controlled by all ikhcoin users around the world. Developers are improving the software but they can't force a change in the rules of the ikhcoin protocol because all users are free to choose what software they use. In order to stay compatible with each other, all users need to use software complying with the same rules. ikhcoin can only work decently with a complete consensus between all users. Therefore, all users and developers have strong incentives to adopt and protect this consensus.
Mission
- Inform users to protect them from common mistakes.
- Give an accurate description of ikhcoin properties, potential uses and limitations.
- Display transparent alerts and events regarding the ikhcoin network.
- Invite talented humans to help with ikhcoin development at many levels.
- Provide visibility to the large scale ikhcoin ecosystem.
- Improve ikhcoin worldwide accessibility with internationalization.
- Remain a neutral informative resource about ikhcoin.
