Transitioning The Live Site.
TLDR: Code will be rewritten in Go and the live site will be under new management while seeing no functionality change.
Currently the Java backend has become sluggish and outdated by modern standards and we've decided to rewrite it in Go, the Java code will remain accessible on the java branch.
This transition will not effect your usage. We will start by allocating small amounts of the traffic to the new server (to lower the risk of outages).
| Date | Allocation | State |
|---|---|---|
| January 10th | 1% | |
| January 17th | 10% | |
| January 24th | 25% | |
| January 31st | 50% | |
| Febuary 7th | 75% | β |
| Febuary 14th | 100% |
Whatever Origin is an open source alternative to AnyOrigin.com
When I was facing Same Origin problems while developing Bitcoin Pie, I was excited to discover how anyorigin.com solved the issue for me ... only, a week later it stopped working for some https sites.
For example, right now try and feed https://bitcointalk.org/ into anyorigin and you'll get an ugly "null" as the output.
Having recently discovered Heroku and Play!, I found that deploying a simple server app is no longer a big deal, and so made out to develop a simple, open source alternative to Any Origin.
