History

Hive Hive alpha version for mac OS X was released on September 28, 2013 and promoted with a booth at the European Bitcoin convention.[4] Months after, Hive has acquired Bridgewalker, "a Euro-based platform for Bitcoin designed with speed in mind".[5]

By February 3, 2014, the mac OS X wallet has come out of beta testing and was available to public through download on its website. [6] Months after, Hive Android was launched for Beta testing. [7] The web wallet is currently being developed and is due by the first week of July.
