Downtown Digital

06/13/2016

For several years now, we at Downtown Digital have been growing our portfolio of managed services for small to medium sized businesses. Over that time span, we have noticed significant changes in the retail market. As a result, the company is changing direction to focus solely on meeting the sales and service needs of business clients. Consequently, we will be closing our Halifax retail store effective June 17th as our Halifax team relocates to new office space. Our Sackville, NB retail location will continue business as usual.

It has been a pleasure serving you at our retail location for many years and we look forward to continuing to serve you at the shops, restaurants and offices where you work and visit. Stay tuned for more information and thank you for your continued support.

Here's the follow-up to yesterday's Satoshi Nakamoto developments. Not super conclusive, but probably all the conclusion we're going to get.

One of Bitcoin's first coders describes Craig Wright's private "proof" that he created the cryptocurrency, in contrast with his flimsy public evidence.
