Until #1148 is done, might as well just add it as another wallet.

Untested, because Jekyll is impractical to get working.

@harding harding added the Wallets label Dec 2, 2015

I suspect that LJR doesn't have many reviews, which is one of our wallet-listing criteria, so I'll mention here that I've used it as my desktop hot wallet in the past (and will probably do so again in the future) and it worked just fine for me.

Concept ACK, though I have never tried LJR.

@luke-jr Travis fails. I guess you'd need to add icons.

NACK. Bitcoin.org is not for altcoins.

Bitcoin LJR is a fork of Bitcoin Core

@celestialwalrus BitcoinLJR is not an altcoin.

Concept ACK.

Contributor

MarcoFalke commented Dec 28, 2015

@celestialwalrus What I understood is that BitcoinLJR provides additional features and most of them can be en-/disabled or configured via the params. So this would be useful for "power users", I guess.

Concept ACK.

@jonasschnelli XT isn't an altcoin too, but it got removed (Coinbase).

Contributor

jonasschnelli commented Dec 28, 2015

@celestialwalrus BitcoinXT can fork the chain - and therefore - could be seen as altcoin.

ghost commented Dec 28, 2015

@jonasschnelli Core can fork (and did) the chain. Why isn't it an altcoin?

@ghost

ghost commented Dec 28, 2015

Anything except this is an altcoin.

Contributor

jonasschnelli commented Dec 28, 2015

@celestialwalrus: right. The question is, which side of the fork is to be considered as altcoin. It's a matter of which perspective you take. Bitcoin.org is a private owned website that represents the opinion of a fork is only reasonable when there is major consens (I guess BitcoinXT/bip101 is controversial).

But this is off topic for the PR anyways.

Contributor

luke-jr commented Dec 28, 2015

Ok, added a simple icon thing.

Contributor

luke-jr commented Dec 28, 2015

Another possible icon if that's too ugly: http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/bitcoinaxe.png

Contributor

greenaddress commented Dec 28, 2015

Concept ACK.

Disclaimer: Didn't test the wallet part but tested the last two releases of Bitcoin LJR as a full node, had no problems.

Contributor

luke-jr commented Dec 28, 2015

(Apparently nobody liked the first icon attempt, so replaced it with the second)

ghost commented Dec 28, 2015

@jonasschnelli XT will be the consensus side once activated (75% required)...

Contributor

harding commented Dec 28, 2015

@luke-jr out of curiosity, what does the axe symbolize?

Contributor

luke-jr commented Dec 28, 2015

It's supposed to be a halberd, symbolising St. Matthew the Apostle who is the patron saint of accountants. Considering renaming to Mattija Bitcoin.

@luke-jr luke-jr changed the title from Wallets: Add Bitcoin LJR to Wallets: Add Bitcoin Knots Jul 1, 2016

Cobra-Bitcoin commented Jul 1, 2016

ACK. I'll merge this soon. This is a great wallet.

ACK. Luke is a long established member of the community that produces good (if opinionated) work.

schildbach commented Jul 5, 2016

Why does this use the Bitcoin Core screenshot? It should provide its own I would say.

How many people are using this wallet? Is there no waiting period where 100-1000 people try it before it gets listed on the site?
