Fiat currency is printed on the whim of governments, effectively defrauding the citizens of every country in the world through value dilution. Bitcoin is a technological innovation which allows for a constant and known rate of currency gene

While it's a good project, it's far from being usable speaking as a skipper. I use Navionics on my Ipad for a chartplotter. I'm trying to get started with OpenCPN on my macbook air, but getting navigational charts which are c
