New Bitcoin Address

I have been playing with Bitcoin since early this month and i even put a new donation link to both my personal blog and this SlackBlogs replacing my paypal donation link since my paypal account got limited permanently. I used bitcoin client from SBo, but it requires lots of time to syncronize with the past transactions and so far, it has reached 18 GB of data and keep growing as more transactions occurred everyday. Plus, it caused some instability of my network card, so i decided to remove it from my computers.

This evening, i was having conversation with alienBOB (Eric Hameleers) and he mention another bitcoin client alternative, armory and Electrum. I decided to have a look on Electrum and turns out that it doesn't require me to do the syncronization all the time. This is perfect, as this app is so light and with small number of hard dependencies, it's also a good candidate for inclusion in SBo, so i wrote SlackBuild script for this application (including the dependency) and submit it to SBo.

I decided to use bitcoin as a way to accept donations on both of my blogs and here they are: bitcoin donation address on the right side of this blog. Use that address if you want to send donation to me. Any value is appreciated :)
