Do you have any plans to push your refactored code into&#xA;Bitcoin upstream for future releases someday?&#xA;&#xA;slush&#xA;&#xA;On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 3:18 PM, Michael Grønager &lt;gronager at ceptacle.com&gt;wrote:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; Dear Bitcoiners,&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; libcoin is now in a state ready for its first release, which I would like&#xA;&gt; to share with you!&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; === libcoin is a crypto currency library based on the bitcoin/bitcoin&#xA;&gt; &#34;Satoshi&#34; client. ===&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Copenhagen, Denmark - 1st February 2012 Ceptacle announces the release of&#xA;&gt; the first version of the crypto currency library &#34;libcoin&#34; based on the&#xA;&gt; bitcoin/bitcoin &#34;Satoshi&#34; client.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; libcoin also maintains a version of bitcoind that is a 100% compatible&#xA;&gt; drop-in replacement of the bitcoin/bitcoind client: You can use it on the&#xA;&gt; same computer on the same files and you can call it with the same scripts.&#xA;&gt; And you can easily extend it without touching the basic bitcoin source&#xA;&gt; files.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; The libcoin/bitcoind client downloads the entire block chain 3.5 times&#xA;&gt; faster than the bitcoin/bitcoind client. This is less than 90 minutes on a&#xA;&gt; modern laptop!&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; In libcoin, the Satoshi client code has been completely refactored,&#xA;&gt; properly encapsulating classes, removing all globals, moving from threads&#xA;&gt; and mutexes to a pure asynchronous approach. Functionalities have been&#xA;&gt; divided into logical units and libraries, minimizing dependencies for e.g.&#xA;&gt; thin clients.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; libcoin is chain agnostic, all chain (bitcoin, testnet, namecoin,&#xA;&gt; litecoin, ...) specific settings are maintained from a single class (Chain)&#xA;&gt; and hence experiments with chain settings, mining, security and digital&#xA;&gt; currencies for research and educational purposes are easily accessible. See&#xA;&gt; the ponzicoin example for how you define your own chain.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; The build system of libcoin is based on CMake and supports builds of&#xA;&gt; static and dynamic libraries on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; The libcoin license is LGPL v. 3. This mean that you can use it in open&#xA;&gt; source as well as in commercial projects, but improvements should go back&#xA;&gt; into the libcoin library.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; ======&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Read more on libcoin on: http://github.com/ceptacle/libcoin/wiki&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Join libcoin on twitter: http://twitter.com/libcoin&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Download &#34;libcoin Satoshi release&#34;:&#xA;&gt; http://github.com/ceptacle/libcoin/zipball/v0.4.0.1&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Best regards,&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Michael Gronager, PhD&#xA;&gt; Director, Ceptacle&#xA;&gt; Jens Juels Gade 33&#xA;&gt; 2100 Copenhagen E&#xA;&gt; Mobile: +45 31 45 14 01&#xA;&gt; E-mail: gronager at ceptacle.com&#xA;&gt; Web: http://www.ceptacle.com/&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------&#xA;&gt; Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!&#xA;&gt; The most comprehensive online learning library for Microsoft developers&#xA;&gt; is just $99.99!
