Open-Transactions
The Open-Transactions project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, fully-featured, free-software toolkit implementing the OTX protocol as well as a full-strength financial cryptography library, API, CLI, and prototype server. The project is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop the Open-Transactions toolkit and its related documentation.
     What is Open-Transactions?

  • Open-Transactions is an easy-to-use, financial crypto, digital cash and transactionlibrary.
  • Open-Transactions includes a client API, a working server, a GUI test wallet (in Java) and a command-line wallet utility.
  • Open-Transactions features: a large variety of financial instruments, markets, basket currencies, unforgeable account balances, digital cash, destruction of account history, Ricardian contracts, Smart Contracts (scriptable clauses), and more.
What does it do?
  • Open-Transactions allows users to issue and manipulate digital assets.
  • Any issuer can sign and distribute new currency contracts in order to create new digital asset types.
  • Users may create many pseudonyms (public keys), each of which may own asset accounts of various types, on OT servers.
  • Users can operate “cash-only” (without accounts) for maximum anonymity, usingunlinkable digital cash.
Financial Instruments

  • Users can transfer digital assets securely and provably, with receipts signed by all parties.
  • Even an OT server cannot change balances, or forge transactions–since it cannot forge your signature on your receipt.
  • Open-Transactions supports a range of financial instruments such as account transfer, cheques and vouchers (aka “cashier’s cheques” or “banker’s cheques”), in addition to cash.
  • These instruments are all analogous to the same financial instruments that we all use at normal banks today. Everyone already has an intuitive understanding of these financial instruments, because we use them regularly in our normal daily lives.
Markets, Basket Currencies, and Smart Contracts
  • Open-Transactions also implements higher-level, contract-based transactionssuch as payment plans and markets with trades.
  • The markets on Open-Transactions support market orders, limit orders, fill-or-kill orders, day orders, stop orders, and stop limits, just like trading on a real market.
  • Basket currencies are also supported, as well as payment plans (recurring payments.)
  • Smart contracts: Multi-party agreements with scriptable clauses… including hooks, callbacks, internal state, etc.
  • Client-side scripting: !/usr/bin/env ot The entire (mostly) high and low level OT API is available within your scripts.
Triple Signed Receipts
  • All of this is accomplished in such a way that all parties are able to prove, at all times, which transactions have cleared and which instruments are authorized,without having to store their entire transaction history, but instead by merely keeping the last signed receipt.
  • Without the special mechanism that makes this possible, all parties would otherwise be forced to store all receipts forever.
  • Nyms and Asset Types have consistent IDs across all OT servers, since the ID is formed by hashing the relevant contract or public key.
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 receipts are destructible and redundant. The transactions are unforgeable. The cash is unlinkable. The cheques are non-repudiable. Etc.
This product includes software developed by Ben Laurie for use in the Lucre project.

Monetas – http://monetas.net/
We’re building a digital finance platform that greatly advances the state of the art, enabling a new generation of amazing finance applications for consumers and businesses.
The first two products we’re developing are:
  • A consumer mobile phone app that enables everyone, including the world’s 2.5 billion “unbanked”, to buy and sell and participate in the world economy—no bank account required.
  • A turnkey enterprise platform that enables anyone, anywhere to set up a business from scratch, complete with legal entity, payment system, and website, within minutes and at negligible cost—no merchant account required.
All that’s required is a mobile phone. Everyone in the world now has access to a mobile phone. Mobile payments are projected to reach one trillion US dollars by 2015. Global payments already exceed 10 quadrillion US dollars.
Our products will enable people to do business easier, faster, cheaper, safer, and with greater freedom than ever before.

Some One with the expertise in OpenSource development, may want to do further investigation into these products.  May be the tool we’re looking for in a complementary currency system.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
