**NOTICE** A ton of the non-consensus logic is being refactored in prepration for the testnet which will be available around the end of this year 2014. Some people have asked me about licensing -- in the minimum all source code will be available via a copyleft license such as GPLv3 or the AGPL. MIT and other very liberal licenses are being considered, but I'm a kopimist at heart, so until then, forget the copyright system. For my true peers, my publishing this code is good enough.
