Meanwhile, Gold collapsing, bitcoin (also collapsing)
Oil too. What is up? Just USD? The USD is entering the 'red giant' phase, having exhausted its primary fuel of gold and silver backing and now being powered by the less dense energy source of hydrocarbon hegemony. Although less productive, the economic bloat of malinvestment results in a higher apparent magnitude via the financialization process. That is why gold/silver/BTC (stuff you have) are collapsing, while insurance/food/medicine/education (stuff you need) costs are soaring. While less massive bodies of fiat may ultimately wind up as harmless white dwarfs, the USD is so large it will enter a phase equivalent to carbon-burning when runaway debt-monetization overcomes the hydrostatic equilibrium provided by petrodollars. This will result in a supernova of hyperinflation, and finally a black hole will remain where the global reserve currency once existed. that's good  Really good analogy! (Except I would expect to see a deflationary collapse of the red-giant, before an hyperinflationary super-nova explosion.) |

At some price it only take as small amount of new money invested to keep the price afloat.
Unless you expect that people are genuinely going to forget about Bitcoin and move on to something else... In that case I would recommend you take your investment elsewhere and hold naked shorts on Bitcoin.
However I don't see the 'core' interest in Bitcoin decreasing; instead I see a huge amount of the worlds most talented people building infrastructure to support and build the possibilities of what blockchain technology can provide. Every month that goes past the Bitcoin infrastructure is in a better position to support a larger and larger popular movement into cypto.
Over the years, I've seen the following cycles:
1. base infrastructure is developed to support a market.
2. popular investment movement into bitcoin.
3. infrastructure is over strained and hacks, companies collapse, and legal issues arise.
4. bitcoin price progressively collapses for the all-time highs.
5. the 'core' bitcoin community tirelessly work to build better infrastructure.
6. the cycle repeats.
I believe we are the phase 4-5 phase as listed above. At some point the infrastructure will become ready again, and the popular movement will overshoot the price again. However maybe this time we will be looking it overshooting to $50 000, and retracing to $10 000. I however suspect that the next cycle is going to be shorter, as the network effects at such such sizes are extremely powerful.
So. I don't know what will indeed happen... However there certainly are established adoption cycle pattens that are quite observable and tested.
TLDL: Have fun and and be ready to change your short position into a long.

I am a little confused - zlib is written in C not C++ and creating a C interface to a C++ implementation makes little sense (do you have any other examples of such things?).
I am very familiar with zlib (I use it in CIYAM) and am also very familiar with reworking C code for C++ (but that always tends to mean a C++ wrapper over the C code).
Why would you want a C library re-written in C++?
I don't want the code to 're-written' but rather re-designed for modern C++ code. Not just a wrapper on the existing zlib code. |

I am a experienced C++ programer, so I will, of course be following and checking the work.

20 BTC project. For an expert programer who has some spare time: - I wish to commission a reimplementation of zlib in C++11.
- Not focused on performance. Focus on safe, correct, and easy to ready code. Should still be fast on a modern compiler.
- This implementation should take advantage of the new C++11 features.
- Include a C interface that is compatible with zlib.
MIT style license.Edit: We are not looking for a good wrapper, but a ground up reimplementation, using modern code.This code only needs to compile with: GCC 4.8, LLVM/clang 3.4, and MS Visual C++ 2013This code need to be supported: Linux, MacOS X Mavericks, and Windows 7 SP1 (and later). CMake build system + Unit and Functional Tests. We advice to not to start work until we have confirmed a plan with you. please contact me at: da2ce7 .. at .. gmail.com |

sorry guys, I have been traveling. I will try and make a new build sometime soonish.  The error that Moneychagner cannot start is because of not packaging a QT dependency. There has been a huge amount of work on Open Transactions since the last build. There may be quite abit of work to create another build. Cam. |

New Build. |
|
|
|
|
OT 0.91.a for Windows (inc Moneychanger released!).
|
|
|
|
|
We have completed quite a few changes under the hood. Shall soon have a new release.
|
|
|
|
|
Add my Bitcoin-OTC link to the first-page.

If I click "Attempt Load",
Moneychanger disappears and nothing happens.
Ok... lets try version 3... (just uploaded). You may need to remove you pid file. Load up Moneychanger in the console it will give you a better output. And a stupid stupid error makes me release v4.  Should work now! |

I installed it on Windows 7 but I had to manually find the following dll files and place them in the Open-Transactions folder:
qt5widgets.dll
qt5gui.dll
qt5core.dll
libglesv2.dll
icuin51.dll
icuuc51.dll
icudt51.dll
But now I'm getting the following error when I try to run moneychanger-qt.exe:
"The procedure entry point ?viewportSizeHint@QTableView@@MBE?AVQSize@@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library Qt5Widgets.dll."
I'm guessing I must have the wrong version of qt5widgets.dll or something?
Updated it... Hope it will work now  |

New Release, including C++ QT Moneychanger!
Woho! Checkout the OP!

@oleganza, I recommend cross-posting to the bitcoin development mailing list for more commentary.

really cool, watching. |

wonderful speaking Gavin! you do yourself and the community proud!
