*Thanks to [our
|
|
volunteers](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/graphs/contributors?from=2015-03-01&to=2015-03-31&type=c)
|
|
and the financial sponsorship of [The Bitcoin
|
|
Foundation](https://bitcoinfoundation.org/), we made the following
|
|
accomplishments this month.*
|
|
|
|
* **No more broken links:** all internal links on Bitcoin.org's 834 pages
|
|
are now automatically checked by [HTML Proofer][] through our [Travis
|
|
Continuous Integration (CI)][] infrastructure. We plan to enable HTML
|
|
Proofer's HTML validation subroutine in the future to provide even
|
|
better quality assurance. Thanks to HTML Proofer author [Garen
|
|
Torikian][] for writing such a great tool!
|
|
|
|
* **Coinapult wallet** was briefly removed from the Bitcoin.org [Choose Your
|
|
Wallet][] page after they suffered a security breach. After restoring
|
|
full services to their customers and assuring us that customer
|
|
deposits are safe, we re-added them.
|
|
|
|
* **KnC wallet** has been removed from the Choose Your Wallet page after
|
|
multiple issues, including an abandoned website, no new commits to
|
|
[their codebase][] in several months, and reports that their iOS app
|
|
no longer worked. (In positive news, we have received reports that it
|
|
is still possible to recover funds from the wallet seed.)
|
|
|
|
* **Translations** were updated thanks to translation volunteers on
|
|
[Transifex][].
|
|
|
|
* **Seven new events** were added. Please check the [Events page][] to see
|
|
whether there are any interesting Bitcoin meetups or conferences in
|
|
your area.
|
|
|
|
* **New pages & features:** a [developer documentation][] glossary
|
|
section and Javascript-based search engine were [proposed][] but not
|
|
quite finished by the end of the month.
|
|
|
|
## Site Traffic
|
|
|
|
According to or [website statistics][], 4.3 million people visited the
|
|
website in March. However, as seen in the illustration below, there was
|
|
a suspicious spike in visits that look like a possible attempt at
|
|
[referer spam][] (even though we don't publish referer information).
|
|
Almost all of the suspicious traffic was directed at the Spanish, Dutch,
|
|
and French Bitcoin.org home pages, leaving statistics for the rest of
|
|
the site fairly accurate.
|
|
|
|
We suspect the accurate number of unique visitors in March was around
|
|
2.0 million, roughly the same as in February.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notable traffic patterns this month included:
|
|
|
|
* The [Full Node Guide][] first released last month received over 8,000
|
|
page views, a surprisingly high number for a new technical document.
|
|
Hopefully this is a sign that users really want to run full nodes for
|
|
themselves.
|
|
|
|
* The [Choose Your Wallet page][] continues to receive over 130,000 page
|
|
views a month, as it keeps on trying to help novice users choose
|
|
their first Bitcoin wallet.
|
|
|
|
* The [Bitcoin Core Download page][] has just as many page views as it
|
|
did last month (75,000) when Bitcoin Core 0.10.0 was released. If you
|
|
haven't upgraded yet to get new features like [headers-first block
|
|
sync][] and [lower vulnerability to OpenSSL code changes][], take some
|
|
time to read the [0.10.0 release notes][] to see what you're missing.
