Working fine for me on linux, but getting cmake to work on windows has cost me too much time -- have to give up until someone else provides instructions, given time constraints.  Got so close with msys2 cmake and visual studio but the project files won't load in my VS Express.  (Refuse to pay MS for polluting language standards, so I go with the free kit.)

i do hate cmake with a passion.  why does nobody just write a nice portable GNU makefile?  it's not rocket science.  cmake syntax alone is so repugnant, i can barely stand to run it.  auto tools are way worse, but cmake is so redundant when GNU make covers it so well.
ah well, just a hobby horse pet peeve of mine.

I found it interesting, but I lack the financial acumen to develop this into a reality.

I understand the buyer motivation but not too sure about the seller motivation.

my lack of response was due to the (what I think would be an) inherent trust system required for such a vehicle. Who sells it? The core team? They'd be the most trustworthy I guess, but I don't wanna slog them with more work.

Do we build a "smart contract" (whatever the hell that is) on the mastercoin network? Or ethereum?

Or is it a wallet bot of some kind? Or just a multisig wallet controlled by an algorithm?

so yeah - my initial lack of reaction was due to the centralized nature of such a mechanism in a de-facto decentralized community....

No I don't. Maybe that's something that could be revisited at some point if volume picks up and a need for this arises.

Here, I'll oblige you on the vociferously bimodal response pattern and raise you with contradiction:

It's an incredibly stupid idea, which is exactly why you should make it happen. 

Okay, so regarding the development bond, consider this a solicitation of expressions of interest.  PM me with the XMR par value total you would be interested in.  No prospectus will be provided unless expressions of interest reach a useful total sum.  All replies in PM will be held in confidence.  If you require a non BTCT secure channel, send me a PGP public key.  Expressions of interest do not constitute any form of contract.

Yes it would be feasible to do this as a smart contract (hence distributed and cryptographically secured) were it to pay in something other than XMR.  If I have time, I will look into ways of doing this for XMR.  The fallback would be to put the hedging funds into a wallet with a published viewkey and have an underwriter you can sue or whatever.  If your interest is conditional on a viable smart contract format, please mention that in any message to me.

This will, if completed, probably be a Reg S debt offering under U.S. law:  It will all be done offshore, on the good faith understanding that no U.S. persons are solicited.

Thank you for the effort

I would have thought that Monero would appreciate against Bitcoin in times like these.

You have a different point of view.  But I asked a specific, practical question.  Can I send xmr?
