Support

I am always available on Twitter, IRC, Telegram, Stack Exchange, Slack, Github and (sometimes) Discord. I reply to almost every message I receive and since 2018 have been supporting developers interested in bcoin and Handshake. I've helped individual users and business integrate Bitcoin and Handhsake all over the world. This service for the community will continue with professionalism and patience.
