Clean, responsive and modern UI
Works on any OS (Mac, Windows, Linux)

BurstChat: A Peer-to-Peer Decentralized Free Speech System

Curbshifter has published a document with information on how BurstChat works, and also how to use it. Users that run Hotwallet can already take advantage of this new feature by updating their software. Also, if you are a developer that has a need for private, decentralized chat solution, see if BurstChat may be useful to you!

New Burst Ecosystems Monitor

A monitor for the Account Activation services and the testnet was mounted, so outages can be detected early. Combining Uptimerobot and Curbshifters BurstDNS shows how easy it is to build useful tools. More monitors will be added in the near future.
