It might have been scripted to automatically resend the Bitcoin. This would be a huge oversight, but it is not beyond a doubt.

No IntelliJ IDEA support. Is this going to be included in AppCode or will it be a separate IDE? Other than that the refactoring look beautiful. Better tooling definitely makes C++ look like less of a PITA.

It's a matter of common usage. Coca-Cola isn't a universal descriptor of that particular kind of carbonated soft drink. The term for that (in the US) is a cola (which is why there exists a lot of *-Cola beverages). The Coca leaf i
