<h1>About bitcoin.org</h1>
|
|
<p class="summary">Bitcoin.org is dedicated to help Bitcoin to develop in a sustainable way.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="own">Who owns bitcoin.org?</h2>
|
|
<p>Bitcoin.org was originally registered and owned by Bitcoin's first two developers, <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto">Satoshi Nakamoto</a> and <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Sirius">Martti Malmi</a>. When Nakamoto left the project, he gave ownership of the domain to additional people, separate from the Bitcoin developers, to spread responsibility and prevent any one person or group from easily gaining control over the Bitcoin project.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>From 2011 to 2013, the site was primarily used for releasing new versions of the software now called Bitcoin Core. In 2013, the site was redesigned into its current form, adding numerous pages, listing additional Bitcoin software, and creating the translation system. Developer documentation was added in 2014.</p>
|
|
<p>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 <a href="https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.org#working-with-github">pull request process</a> and managed by the site co-maintainers.</p>
|
|
<p>Bitcoin.org is not Bitcoin's official website. Just like nobody owns the email technology, nobody owns the Bitcoin network. As such, nobody can speak with authority in the name of Bitcoin.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="control">Then... who controls Bitcoin?</h2>
|
|
<p>Bitcoin is controlled by all Bitcoin users around the world. Developers are improving the software but they can't force a change in the rules of the Bitcoin 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. Bitcoin 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="mission">Mission</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Inform users to protect them from common mistakes.</li>
|
|
<li>Give an accurate description of Bitcoin properties, potential uses and limitations.</li>
|
|
<li>Display transparent alerts and events regarding the Bitcoin network.</li>
|
|
<li>Invite talented humans to help with Bitcoin development at many levels.</li>
|
|
<li>Provide visibility to the large scale Bitcoin ecosystem.</li>
|
|
<li>Improve Bitcoin worldwide accessibility with internationalization.</li>
|
|
<li>Remain a neutral informative resource about Bitcoin.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
