We are pleased to announce that the next stable release of our

software for peer-to-peer barter exchange is now available.

Changes:

-- Improved the way session files are garbage-collected. This

closes a potential DoS-attack vector.

The source code is available at:

"Circular Multilateral Barter" (CMB) is free server-side software

for managing peer-to-peer networks for circular barter

exchange. CMB advances conventional barter by making it

multilateral. It does so by engaging peers' trust to decouple the

actual delivery of goods from the agreement to deliver the

goods. Here are some of the advantages that CMB offers compared

to traditional approaches:

Traditional approaches (fiat money, barter dollars, LETS

points) unfortunately blend social trust into a fragile system

of collectivized credit. CMB makes it possible for individuals

to use their own judgment in choosing whom they are willing to

trust. That is: you supply products to customers who trust you,

and you receive products from partners whom you trust.

CMB does not suffer the double coincidence of wants

problem. The trader you deliver goods to and the trader you

obtain what you need from do not need to be the same person, so

there is much more flexibility for arranging trades.

CMB allows virtual money to circulate at infinite velocity so

that no real money is actually needed. That is: trading is not

limited by the global scarcity of money or any other commodity.

CMB uses money solely as a standard of value for a short period

of time (typically a day). Thus CMB is insusceptible to changes

in the value of money.
