I must confess, first and foremost, that I am not a fan of MCP as a protocol–I find it overly complex (why shunt that much JSON around and waste tokens parsing it?), badly designed for application scenarios (it is completely redundant if you have good Swagger specs for your APIs, not to mention poorly secured) and has generated so much hype that I instinctively shied away until the dust settled.| Tao of Mac
Wow, I (Diego), am not very good at getting these things out. It's been almost a year. It's harder to do than I thought. Let me make it up to you though. We're coming out of beta! That's right. And it's not sometime in the nebulous future. It’s now. Like right now. By the time this post goes up, you should be able to download Stack Wallet version 2.0.0 for all platforms.

Missed another week again. Life gets in the way sometimes, and it's just me (rehrar) doing these, so you'll have to bear with me. Even now I'm a bit busy so you'll have to forgive my curt demeanor this week. Just need to get this out. I'll be back to my cheery, jokey self for the next blogpost. Anyways, 'weekly' update time. Tor. Still in progress. Had to set it aside a bit because the past two weeks were a lot of bug fixing. But we'll get to that. Not much movement here I'm afraid, but back ...| Stack Wallet Website
Hey everyone. Weekly update here! We missed getting an update out last week (whoops!) because I (Diego/rehrar) was out for the weekend spending time with family. But worry not, I'm back to thanklessly working weekends so all of you can have your little blog post for the week. So let's review what we've done in the last TWO weeks this time then. Tor. We've got it building, we've got it turning on, so we're in testing. Trying to make sure all of the network connections go through it. This is ha...| Stack Wallet Website
Another week! We got another release out this week, but it didn't have everything we were hoping. Such is the coders life. Anyways, let's take a look at where we ended this week. Tor. More work done, but this was set aside a bit for other priorities and bug fixes. Primarily PayNyms. Still, we made forward progress in building the lib and understanding it at a deeper level. In addition, we've worked on the UX, icons, animations, and more things should feel buttery smooth since day one. Here, b...| Stack Wallet Website
