FellowTraveler / Open-Transactions-old

Open-Transactions democratizes financial and monetary actions. You can use it for issuing currencies/stock, paying dividends, creating asset accounts, sending/receiving digital cash, writing/depositing cheques, cashier's cheques, creating basket currencies, trading on markets, scripting custom agreements, recurring payments, escrow, etc. Open-Transactions uses strong crypto. The balances are unchangeable (even by a malicious server.) The receipt history is destructible. The transactions are unforgeable. The cash is unlinkable. The cheques are non-repudiable. Etc.

Tag commits with the version, so that instead of this:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/opentxs/files/opentxs-0.89.q.tar.gz

You can use Github's tar.gz:

wget https://github.com/FellowTraveler/Open-Transactions/archive/0.89.q.tar.gz (this link doesn't work, of course)

If that works, that is a really good idea. However we still need to trust GitHub...

klzns commented 11 years ago

Sorry, what do you mean by that?

da2ce7 commented 11 years ago

well, that GitHub is bundling the correct thing.

klzns commented 11 years ago

Some people and I have been using this in front end projects (like Bower) and it's OK.

You could use Github as a backup for sometime and if everything works fine, maybe them just use Github to host the files. In my opinion it's very handy :+1:
