There were some projects in the pipeline before any decision on the acquisition by CoinTerra, what will happen to them is not clear. For instance, its Enterprise Bitcoin Server, which it dubbed the ‘Red Hat for Bitcoin’ became extremely popular, no comments came when the acquisition was being finalized.
Also, there is no clarity on what CoinTerra plans to do with the BOP software stack and ongoing development projects. However, this deal is all benefit for CoinTerra as it not just bought the promising Bitcoin company but also brought in Tamás Blummer, a real talent on board.
