We are pleased to announce that the official PirateCash organization on GitHub has received Verified status.
GitHub has confirmed that the PirateCash team controls the pirate.cash domain. This verification establishes an additional layer of authenticity between the open source code published under the PirateCash organization and the core development team maintaining the project.
What GitHub Organization Verification Means
GitHub Organization Verification is designed to help users distinguish official project repositories from impersonators or unauthorized copies. By verifying control over the project’s primary domain, GitHub provides a visible confirmation that the organization operating the repositories is legitimately associated with the project.
For PirateCash, this means that all repositories published under the official GitHub organization are maintained and distributed by the real PirateCash development team.
Why This Matters
Open source ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to fake repositories, malicious forks and impersonation attempts. Verification helps mitigate these risks by:
- Increasing trust in the PirateCash source code
- Confirming ownership of official repositories
- Reducing the likelihood of interacting with malicious or unofficial forks
- Improving transparency in the development and release process
This step strengthens the reliability of PirateCash infrastructure and provides developers, contributors and users with greater confidence when interacting with the project’s codebase.
Commitment to Open Infrastructure
PirateCash remains committed to building transparent, verifiable and trust minimized infrastructure. Open source development continues to be a core principle of the project, ensuring that anyone can inspect, audit and contribute to the ecosystem.
