P2P payment system
Description:
Litecoin is a peer-to-peer Internet currency that enables instant payments to
anyone in the world. It is based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs from
Bitcoin in that it can be efficiently mined with consumer-grade hardware.
Litecoin provides faster transaction confirmations (2.5 minutes on average) and
uses memory-hard, scrypt-based mining proof-of-work algorithm to target the
regular computers and GPUs most people already have. The Litecoin network is
scheduled to produce 84 million currency units.
One of the aims of Litecoin was to provide a mining algorithm that could run at
the same time, on the same hardware used to mine bitcoins. With the rise of
specialized ASICs for Bitcoin, Litecoin continues to satisfy these goals. It is
unlikely for ASIC mining to be developed for Litecoin until the currency is
widely used.

GNU Dico is a flexible modular implementation of DICT server (RFC 2229).
In contrast to other implementations, it does not depend on a particular
database format. GNU Dico handles database accesses using loadable modules.
The package is shipped with quite a few modules that provide support for the
most often used database formats and strategies. New modules can easily be
written in C, Guile or Python. The module API is mature and well documented.
The package also includes a console client program that can be used to query
remote dictionary servers.

fork of libstrophe for use with profanity XMPP client
Description:
libmesode is a minimal XMPP library written in C. libmesode is a fork of
libstrophe for use in Profanity (ports/net/profanity).
Reasons for forking:
Remove Windows support
Support only one XML Parser implementation (expat)
Support only one SSL implementation (OpenSSL)
This simplifies maintenance of the library when used in Profanity.
Whilst Profanity will run against libstrophe, libmesode provides extra TLS
functionality such as manual SSL certificate verification.
