Bitcoin.org is proud to announce the addition of a dozen new pages to
|
|
the site about [Bitcoin Core][]. Several of the pages describe [Bitcoin
|
|
Core's powerful features][], others [provide help][] for Bitcoin Core
|
|
users, and several make it easier to [start contributing][] to
|
|
Bitcoin Core.

*Excerpts from Bitcoin.org's <a href="/en/bitcoin-core/">Bitcoin Core</a> pages*
|
|
|
|
Both Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin.org have come a long way since the site
|
|
began promoting the earliest public versions of the software.

|
|
|
|
These new pages give us a chance to introduce more recent Bitcoin users
|
|
to the advantages of full nodes like Bitcoin Core, particularly how full
|
|
validation [helps protect Bitcoin's essential decentralization][] from
|
|
takeover by a handful of miners, Bitcoin banks, and service providers.
|
|
|
|
## A Brief Guide to The New Pages
|
|
|
|
- [Bitcoin Core overview][]: provides a brief description of Bitcoin
|
|
Core and links to the other sections of the sub-site.
|
|
|
|
- [Feature overview][]: briefly describes some of Bitcoin Core's
|
|
leading benefits and links to pages that provide more details.
|
|
|
|
- [Get help page][]: resources to help Bitcoin Core users find help.
|
|
Prior to this PR, we also created and filled a category on the Bitcoin
|
|
Wiki with all the existing [Bitcoin Core help pages][].
|
|
|
|
- [Contribute overview][]: links to ways you can directly contribute to
|
|
Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Core users.
|
|
|
|
## Future Plans
|
|
|
|
We plan to enhance this new section of the Bitcoin.org website by
|
|
collecting together some of Bitcoin Core's disparate documentation and
|
|
providing instructions for important ways users can enhance their privacy and
|
|
security while using Bitcoin Core—such as using Tor and an offline
|
|
wallet.
|
|
|
|
In addition, we hope to provide more resources that help businesses
|
|
understand the benefits of validating the transactions they receive with
|
|
their own full nodes.
|
|
|
|

|
|
documentation maintainer,
