ATM becomes bitcoin-atm

Tag for "verifying software download during installation"

New tag for questions concerning mining reward structure
I think the new tag you propose might have a bit of an overlap with mining-reward and blockspace-market especially, but I agree that it is an interesting sub-topic that we could group. I like security-...

There appears to be multiple projects that contain bitcoinlib in their name
It seems to me that Peter Todd's python-bitcoinlib should be tagged as python-bitcoinlib, while bitcoinlib should be tagged as bitcoinlib. Unfortunately it appears there is a .NET library under the ...

What's the difference in scope between the tags [opcodes] and [script]?
