BitPay introduces Bitcore

So this is a "thin" client? I assume it doesn't bootstrap the whole blockchain, but uses a central server to get up to date?

How similar is this to Electrum?

What's the plan for supporting altcoins, or is there one?

BitPay is focused on Bitcoin, but Bitcore itself is agnostic as to which blockchain is utilized. We'll gladly review pull requests increasing the utility of this as a tool for cryptofinance in general.

Can you add a GPG public key to the security section?

We can, do you want us to sign our releases with it?

Yes, please! That would be great. Personally, I don't download or use anything with Bitcoin that isn't signed by a reputable party, or else I audit the entire codebase.

We implement the _only_ transaction ID scheme, the correct one.

How are you able to operate nationwide without money transmission licenses in each state?

BitPay is not a money transmitter.

The FinCEN registration of BitPay Services LLC (http://fincen.gov/financial_institutions/msb/msbstateselecto...) and money transmission license number 39829 in the State of Georgia registered to BitPay Services LLC (https://dbfweb.dbf.state.ga.us/WebCCData.html) says otherwise. Can you explain?

We have a Bitcoin ATM in the office, which requires the license.
