Hi,

to provide a bit context, I'm the author of a small causal android game called "Squabbel"[1] which is a modern take on a merge of tetris and scrabble.

Its core is based around the idea to find strings within a sequence of characters, which is accomplished by using a deterministic finite automaton.

Currently I'm working on the successor of Squabbel and I was optimizing the internal search engine and refactored the code to a c++ library which is now available on github

https://github.com/0x10/fastdict

The search times are to my needs pretty good and I would love to get some feedback on the performance.

Thanks.

I have some time to spare (1h/day or 4-6 hours per week and want to contribute to some open source projects.

But I cant choose which.

I have strong background in c/c++/embedded linux, some crypto background and know a handful of protocols. lately i've made some little webpages (for private) with ruby/bash for server administration.

Any recommendations where to look?

Thanks!

To continue the debate about the inner value of 1 Bitcoin. How about to link the value of 1 Bitcoin to the price of the power needed to create/maintain that one bitcoin? Until mining is running, until all bitcoins are mined this would be the price to create one bitcoin at current tech level (means it decreases with ASICS/fpgas), from the point of all bitcoins mined it would be the price of power needed to confirm a one bitcoin transaction within a block. The price per kWh would be the mean price worldwide.

Hi,

some weeks ago i came up the idea to make a new kind of organizer for tasks, schedules, etc.

the primary feature will be the fact that it is made up as a RPG-like questbook. Every element shall be sound like you are playing a rpg, e.g. general tasks/appointment are called quests. the content of the quest shall be either written by the user or be one of pregenerated texttemplates where you only change variables, like "catch Anne" or "bring sugar to bob" (with more text of course). you shall be able to link quest items to your quests. These items shall be manageable in your personal inventory which is of limited space. this inventory also shall contain optional money container, where you can store the info about your gold. you can than tag quest progress with modifications in your inventory, like the quest "drive bob to the market" will result in "-10 Gold for fuel" or something like that. each quest can also be failed (e.g. missed date) which will result negative influences in your statistic which records all your quest activity.

there are some more ideas, but i think the primary idea is made clear.

can you imagine this as a sellable product or do you consider this as a neat geek tool with no market which shall only be for free?

thanks.
