Updates: I've got a monster PR in libbitcoin-system. It's ready to merge, though SourceForge is down again (bad certs), so builds are failing. Travis is giving us free builds, but have to re-request them every couple weeks or so (pain in the ass). The -system changes break the other repos, so I'm working my way through that now. It'll take a while, because I'm doing other work as I go. Currently reorganizing -network and adding test coverage. Network component tests appear to be failing because of public server or DNS outage, but need to work that out. Amir finally has libbitcoin.org and will transfer it to me eventually. We met in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago. The Libbitcoin Institute did not get IRS 501c3 status, so that is being wound down, but another entity will be set up in its place with the same name and purpose (minus the tax benefit). Tom and I are still working on fundraising and have some new leads based on Amir stirring the pot yesterday. I'm not planning on running the conference next year, and will put my efforts into the v4 release. Possibly the following year. Book translations are starting to come in, and Max from Wasabi just posted the audiobook.
