  • Bitcoin.org

    Bitcoin.org Website

  • This isn't the first time that bitcoin.org has done this. In June 2018, they added an ad for another exchange, Paxful. The PR adding that started out with a full page ad with no mention of any other exchange. However the end result was that the other content was restored and that advertisement reduced (although not as much as many people would have liked).

  • docs

    Documentation for Grin and Mimblewimble (by mimblewimble)

  • andytoshi (Poelstra) did not make the original mailing list post: https://github.com/mimblewimble/docs/wiki/A-Brief-History-of-MimbleWimble-White-Paper

  • BitcoinWalletMobile

    A simple, well designed and easy to use mobile Bitcoin wallet. Compatible with both Android and iOS. Designed for newbies.

  • Bitcoin.org is in the process of expanding from being a mere informational site and billboard for people to plaster their links on, to offering new users more tools than just information, like our own open source basic starter wallets which are in the works (https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/BitcoinWalletMobile), and fun fact, our wallet will be truly trustless, unlike Green. So our users won't complain about locked up funds. This is necessary for two reasons: to better compete against actively malicious or inadequate alternatives, and to expand the scope of the project to attract more contributions as a simple static can only get so many contributors. A more interactive "buy bitcoin" page better competes against the malicious alternatives.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
