Open usatie opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

Hi everyone! Let us announce that @BitcoinCashKit became the new maintainer of this repository.

Inspired by @kishikawakatsumi, we've been long developed BitcoinCashKit.

BitcoinCashKit was a fork of kishikawakatsumi/BitcoinKit enhanced several features.

We and @kishikawakatsumi talked each other, and agreed on us keeping this project move forward from now on. This is mainly because we wanted to contribute the original repository, but @kishikawakatsumi has not enough time to maintain and investigate more about Bitcoin. He is really smart and noted developer, thus he has a lot of other projects to keep an eye on.

I and some of BitcoinCashKit developer are mainly from Yenom Inc, Bitcoin(BCH/BTC) development company in Japan. We have passion for Bitcoin and believe we can make this project go further.

And any contributes to this project are welcome. Even small change, question, issue, refactoring, feeling, etc...

Let's make this project move forward together! Best Regards.

Shun Usami

What's the reason for changing the name to BitcoinCashKit?

Hi @csjones ! At first, we forked BitcoinKit for making it compatible with BitcoinCash as well. So we renamed it at that time.

And now, we are trying to get the organization name BitcoinKit, but it seems difficult to get it. There are already the same name organization. https://github.com/BitcoinKit

There are several possibilities of renaming for now. Priority order is bellow.

  1. BitcoinKit/BitcoinKit [under negotiation with BitcoinKit]
  2. BitcoinCashKit/BitcoinCashKit [Change the repo name]
  3. yenom/BitcoinKit [Transfer the ownership to yenom]
  4. yenom/BitcoinCashKit
  5. BitcoinCashKit/BitcoinKit [This is confusing. not recommended.]

We decided to transfer this repo to yenom. Because BitcoinCashKit/BitcionKit is confusing name, and we could not get the organization name BitcoinKit.

So the repo name will be yenom/BitcoinKit

More detail about renaming and transferring repo can be found here. #72
