Eric from BitPay here! Happy to answer any questions.

  What's the plan for supporting altcoins, or is there one?
  • martindale 13y ago
    BitPay is focused on Bitcoin, but Bitcore itself is agnostic as to which blockchain is utilized. We'll gladly review pull requests increasing the utility of this as a tool for cryptofinance in general.

      Would like to see Dogecoin compatibility

  Can you add a GPG public key to the security section?
  • martindale 13y ago
    We can, do you want us to sign our releases with it?
    • jnbiche 13y ago
      Yes, please! That would be great. Personally, I don't download or use anything with Bitcoin that isn't signed by a reputable party, or else I audit the entire codebase.

  Please get us support for Dogecoin. Thanks!

    Such persistence, much currency. Wow.

  does it implement a normalised transaction id scheme?
  • martindale 13y ago
    We implement the _only_ transaction ID scheme, the correct one.
    • exit 13y ago
      so the txid's which are subject to transaction malleability?

  How are you able to operate nationwide without money transmission licenses in each state?
  • martindale 13y ago
    BitPay is not a money transmitter.
    • thinkcomp 13y ago
      The FinCEN registration of BitPay Services LLC (http://fincen.gov/financial_institutions/msb/msbstateselector.html http://fincen.gov/financial_institutions/msb/msbstateselecto...) and money transmission license number 39829 in the State of Georgia registered to BitPay Services LLC (https://dbfweb.dbf.state.ga.us/WebCCData.html https://dbfweb.dbf.state.ga.us/WebCCData.html) says otherwise. Can you explain?
      • martindale 13y ago
        We have a Bitcoin ATM in the office, which requires the license.
        • thinkcomp 13y ago
          How are you exempt in the other states?
• kzahel 13y ago
  So this is a "thin" client? I assume it doesn't bootstrap the whole blockchain, but uses a central server to get up to date? How similar is this to Electrum?

  Is it suitable for Bitcoin casinos?
