Disclaimer: I am deliberately avoiding edge cases and other costs of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin (BTC) is a relatively new system and we often make sense of new systems by drawing on familiar experiences to describe them, so it is natural to draw on experience with dollars and gold to understand Bitcoin. Like an ounce of gold, the price of a bitcoin can be measured in dollars. As the price of a bitcoin skyrocketed in 2013, it became a famous asset like dollars or gold but the current price of a bitcoin does not have much to do with why it is useful. Over most recent interval ranges, bitcoins do not seem to offer any advantage as a store of wealth. So, what’s curious about Bitcoin is that what it seems to be famous for is not why it is useful.

Mobile Responsiveness FTW! We just closed our milestone in github this week. Thanks to all contributors, Tom Brown, Ziyan, rewritten, acao.
A note from Tom Brown about the Bootstrap Process:

in issue 185 (jan 10), @acao explained "I would love to help with a snazzy
twitter bootstrap UI implementation as well...Our project is nearing
launch, and we would LOVE to have mobile responsiveness built-in, and a
nice clean bootstrap UI strategy...bootstrap/sass are sooo powerful!"

@herestomwiththeweather replied "i'm probably not qualified to set up
"bootstrap-sass and all the other assets handling all set up" though. maybe
someone else will step up to get this ball rolling."

The next day, the initial set of commits were delivered by @rewritten: "Check
the https://github.com/oscurrency/oscurrency/tree/bootstrap222 branch. I've
added external bootstrap files, font-awesome, and swapped the legacy tabs
with the bootstrap's ones (they weren't working)."

on Feb 1, the google group was given notification of this effort with the
justification that the efforst was "to improve the user interface (and
especially for mobile devices)":
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/opensourcecurrency/Fo2DM43Ohgg

the bootstrap effort was idle until the end of june when a milestone was
created for a collection of bootstrap issues:
https://github.com/oscurrency/oscurrency/issues?milestone=1&page=1&state=closed

at the end of july, the google group was given notification that the
bootstrap branch would be merged into master:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/opensourcecurrency/izHfKPrIPuU

the twitter bootstrap project page is at http://getbootstrap.com/

cheers,

Welcome to OS Currency on wordpress!
From the opensourcecurrency google group (10/3/13):

Over the last year or so, while github participation (issues, some 
documentation and one virtual dev meetup announcement) has increased, the 
opensourcecurrency.org blog has sadly been inactive.

While the blog has been performing solidly as an archive of old posts, with 
some help, it could also offer a more welcoming experience and opportunity 
for mutual support among people who are interested in oscurrency.  

Here is the good news.  Amy Kirschner has been using oscurrency for almost 
a year for B2B mutual credit exchange and has suggested that wordpress 
would offer more functionality (than blogger) and allow easier access for 
participation from admins (rather than coders).  As Amy uses oscurrency in 
support of vbsrmarket.com, she is especially interested in usability and 
the community around the software.

Even though there are some details to work out (e.g. wordpress.com vs. 
self-hosting), it seems reasonable to switch the blog in a week or so.  

There is no change in existing process: software development issues are 
still discussed on Github with logistical/upgrade issues promoted to this 
Google group.  Also, there is clearly a need to improve the documentation. 
 Please feel free to use Github issues to identify gaps in the 
documentation.  There are many.  If you are not comfortable with using 
Github, another alternative is to blog about any problems (or any 
experiences in general) you are having with the software.  Additionally, as 
this Google group is a low traffic mailing list, it seems likely there will 
be a need for an additional higher traffic forum like discourse.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.  Have a great weekend!

-Tom
