Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 17:08:36 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : lighthouse
  Version         : beta
  Upstream Author : Mike Hearn <mike@plan99.net>

* License         : Apache
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description     : a peer to peer crowdfunding app that uses Bitcoin

Lighthouse is a brand new approach to all-or-nothing fund raising. Using
advanced features of the Bitcoin protocol it is now possible to create
Kickstarter-style fund raising initiatives in an entirely decentralised way.
No middlemen unless you want them, and no fees beyond the usual Bitcoin
transaction fees (just a fraction of a dollar cent).

For the info of anyone looking to package lighthouse:

I haven't looked into all the dependencies of lighthouse, but one of
the dependencies is bitcoinj (see #629008), so that should be packaged
before lighthouse.

That website is down and the internet archive:

http://web.archive.org/web/20160305181446/http://vinumeris.com/lighthouse

... point to this GitHub repository:

https://github.com/vinumeris/lighthouse/

... which says the project is no longer maintained. Indeed, it looks
completely abandoned with no activity in the last month, last issues or
commits in ~sept 2016.

Meanwhile, Google Chrome built this interesting web diagnostic tool in
the same namespace:

https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/

So we should probably be careful when using that namespace in Debian, as
there is a standalone nodejs version.
