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.
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 untraceable. The cheques are non-repudiable. Etc.
This product includes software developed by Ben Laurie for use in the Lucre project.

The source code is verified with cppcheck in our continuous integration system. For convenience please enable the git pre-push hook which will trigger cppcheck each time you are pushing. To do so type in the repo directory:
cd .git/hooks
ln -s ../../scripts/git_hooks/pre-push pre-push
To check your code without pushing the following command can be used:
git push -n
