- <div class="date">21st December 2012</div>
- <div class="body"><p>It has been a while since I wrote about
-<a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">bitcoin</a>, the decentralised
-peer-to-peer based crypto-currency, and the reason is simply that I
-have been busy elsewhere. But two days ago, I started looking at the
-state of <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin">bitcoin in
-Debian</a> again to try to recover my old bitcoin wallet. The package
-is now maintained by a
-<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-bitcoin/">team of
-people</a>, and the grunt work had already been done by this team. We
-owe a huge thank you to all these team members. :)
-But I was sad to discover that the bitcoin client is missing in
-Wheezy. It is only available in Sid (and an outdated client from
-backports). The client had several RC bugs registered in BTS blocking
-it from entering testing. To try to help the team and improve the
-situation, I spent some time providing patches and triaging the bug
-reports. I also had a look at the bitcoin package available from Matt
-Corallo in a
-<a href="https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin">PPA for
-Ubuntu</a>, and moved the useful pieces from that version into the
-Debian package.</p>
-
-<p>After checking with the main package maintainer Jonas Smedegaard on
-IRC, I pushed several patches into the collab-maint git repository to
-improve the package. It now contains fixes for the RC issues (not from
-me, but fixed by Scott Howard), build rules for a Qt GUI client
-package, konqueror support for the bitcoin: URI and bash completion
-setup. As I work on Debian Squeeze, I also created
-<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-bitcoin-devel/Week-of-Mon-20121217/000041.html">a
-patch to backport</a> the latest version. Jonas is going to look at
-it and try to integrate it into the git repository before uploading a
-new version to unstable.
-
-<p>I would very much like bitcoin to succeed, to get rid of the
-centralized control currently exercised in the monetary system. I
-find it completely unacceptable that the USA government is collecting
-transaction data for almost all international money transfers (most are done in USD and transaction logs shipped to the spooks), and
-that the major credit card companies can block legal money
-transactions to Wikileaks. But for bitcoin to succeed, more people
-need to use bitcoins, and more people need to accept bitcoins when
-they sell products and services. Improving the bitcoin support in
-Debian is a small step in the right direction, but not enough.
-Unfortunately the user experience when browsing the web and wanting to
-pay with bitcoin is still not very good. The bitcoin: URI is a step
-in the right direction, but need to work in most or every browser in
-use. Also the bitcoin-qt client is too heavy to fire up to do a
-quick transaction. I believe there are other clients available, but
-have not tested them.</p>
-
-<p>My
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Now_accepting_bitcoins___anonymous_and_distributed_p2p_crypto_money.html">experiment
-with bitcoins</a> showed that at least some of my readers use bitcoin.
-I received 20.15 BTC so far on the address I provided in my blog two
-years ago, as can be
-<a href="http://blockexplorer.com/address/15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b">seen
-on the blockexplorer service</a>. Thank you everyone for your
-donation. The blockexplorer service demonstrates quite well that
-bitcoin is not quite anonymous and untracked. :) I wonder if the
-number of users have gone up since then. If you use bitcoin and want
-to show your support of my activity, please send Bitcoin donations to
-the same address as last time,
