Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Milk Sad: Weak Entropy in libbitcoin (bc) seed generation
libbitcoin isn't a company. It's an alternative C++ implementation (https://github.com/libbitcoin) to the Bitcoin Core (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) implementation. Bitcoin Core is the one originally from Satoshi. Libbitcoin came in like 2011 or so iirc and was led by Amir Taaki. Libbitcoin is a lot less popular than Bitcoin Core, as you can see on the github stats.

OneCoin co-founder pleads guilty to $4B fraud
That would make Eve online, Second Life, and other games illegal since people trade their digital assets all the time
>Comparing Bitcoin to free software seems similarly disingenuous.
Bitcoin is free software. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

Can the government make their own Nodes to follow and gather data?
Yes a government can. Bitcoin specifically is open source: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin. The ledger is public so as you pointed out there wouldn't be more details.

How are changes made to Bitcoin’s code?
Different implementations(core, knots,btcd,bcoin,libbitcoin, ....) have different ways of coming to consensus. The most popular implementation called core https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin follows these guidelines https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

76.5% of all bitcoin has not been sold, nor even moved, in at least six months, a new record. That's the very definition of "diamond hands". [OC]

Does anyone know good TECHNICAL explanations of how Bitcoin works?
Also, read the source code It's on-line, for free https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

Titano Finance is a scam, stay away
Why is the source code a single file? No real code project that I've ever seen is built on 1 file. Take a look at BTC for example, that's what a real code project looks like.

Mako – a full Bitcoin implementation in C
Most of the crypto is from my more general crypto library libtorsion: https://github.com/bcoin-org/libtorsion
I originally wanted to vendor my libtorsion code and link to it, but it felt clunky since libtorsion pulls in a ton of crypto that bitcoin doesn't need. Also, since I was focusing on just a few algorithms, it gave me the opportunity to optimize a lot of them (in particular, the ECC backend was optimized for secp256k1 whereas in libtorsion it supports all kinds of curves).
Because of all of this, there's probably some leftover comments. That comment isn't true anymore. rand.c is definitely used internally for libmako, just not libtorsion.
edit: fixed link.

Donald Knuth’s Algorithm D, its implementation in Hacker’s Delight and elsewhere
The 2-by-1 and 3-by-2 division functions described in the paper result in a very measurable speedup in my code. I think you're confusing those with the reciprocal calculation itself (which can be computed with a lookup table). I agree that part doesn't really lend itself to any significant performance benefit and is probably better calculated with a single hardware division instead.
I feel it necessary to point out that the 3-by-2 division actually has multiple benefits which are easy to miss:
1. The quotient loop can be skipped as I mentioned.
2. The "Add back" step is less likely to be triggered.
3. Since a 2-word remainder is computed with the division, you can skip 2 iterations on the multiply+subtract step.
My reimplementation of GMP documents both the 2-by-1 and 3-by-2 divisions pretty thoroughly[1][2].
