Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer cryto currency and we’ve been working on a free service for bitcoin users to help with accepting payments.
Coinb.in is what is known as a “Bitcoin eWallet Service” with an easily accessible API aimed at web developers, to allow the acceptance of bitcoins and to process the payments automatically and anonymously from our network via an unbranded interface, at no fee, without having to run a bitcoin client.
Coinb.in works by providing your customer with a unique wallet address, which is linked to your account. The coinb.in service then checks the Bitcoin p2p network at regular intervals. Once the payment has been confirmed, you will receive a notification by email and the transaction data will be sent to a script of your choice, which can then be used to process the order and populate your database.

This week I’ve mostly been trying to figure out a way to digitalise some of my bank statements to make accountancy and archiving easier.
I figured there must be a way to scan them in using a document scanner, then use OCR software to render the data into Excel.
Of course, nothing does this natively, but there are ways to do it.

W32Dasm (or Win32DASM) doesn’t seem to exist on the map any more, but it’s still a very useful programmers tool, especially if you like reverse engineering.
W32Dasm is a Windows 32-bit (Win32) disassembler. What it does is display the programs routines in assembly code, which makes it easier for you to trace what the software is doing.
I like to use this software every once in a while, but recently I found there were no decent sources for this software.
