It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency, since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site; Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in - your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.

Other miscellaneous fixes

The Windows 64-bit binary release is available now.
A binary release for macOS (10.10 and above) is being packaged now and will be available within a few hours.
Linux .debs (including for the Raspberry Pi) will be available within 24 hours.
If you want to build from source, then please do not use the automatically-generated "Source code" downloads above, but instead check the tag out after doing a recursive clone from GitHub. This is because we use Git submodules and the GitHub automatically-generated downloads do not contain the necessary metadata.

Development Fund
With these additions, the Development Reward Fund, which was voted on by 95% of the community 2 months ago in November 2017, has been instated and will initiate at block 230250 until block 255250 increasing block rewards to 50 and allocation 37.5 Zoin per block to the fund. This will not affect miner rewards, once block 255250 is reached, block rewards will go back to 12.5, again not affecting miners.
