so whereas 1) older versions of parity were subject to an ethereum-stealing bug https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/08/accidental-bug-may-have-frozen-280-worth-of-ether-on-parity-wallet.html 2) development got stuck, there was, for a time, a fork of parity called 'feather' but even that is no longer listed as one of the main ethereum clients on https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/ 3) there's no particular reason to prefer old-as-balls parity especially considering (1) 4) the source code to parity is stored on a gitlab which doesn't even allow the public access(!) unless they have a github account 5) at one point, some of the ethereum codebase (not sure if including parity???) relicensed away from GPL3 and so now it's unclear if this is even FLOSS anymore 6) i was the one who requested it in the first place, so that debian could have an ethereum client 7) i've requested enough things
therefor I'm closing this rfp and if someone else wants parity or one of its forks they can file a new frp Jeff Cliff -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ End the campaign to Cancel Richard Stallman - go to stallmansupport.org ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
