Forum-use has greatly declined, relative to communication by Telegram, e-mail, GitHub, and Slack.
Instead, new users are encouraged to get themselves invited to: bitcoinhivemind.slack.com
Or find me on Telegram, email, Github.
At long last, the Forum has been restored!
I will be manually approving all new registrations, to fight spam.
Plus, the forum (for now) is mostly a read-only historical resource.
