Comment on Show HN: Hive – A fast, easy and safe way to use your Bitcoinsparent

Comments

well, coinbase and other exchanges have been known to stall your transfers due to issues with cold storage or, really, who knows what.

hive is an alternative to running something like bitcoin-qt, which uses a lot of bandwidth and compute to keep up with the bitcoin network.

hive is lighter weight, uses a different protocol which i don't entirely understand but seems well trusted and efficient. i use it and bitcoin-qt and distribute some of my BTC among the two.
