If you want to join us or to share your ideas on how we all can help and support Mooncoin development, please PM, or leave your comments.


Hello Mooncoin!

I'd like to join the Mooncoin Foundation!

1) I can offer deterministic Gitian builds for the Mooncoin wallet to improve wallet security and trust.
2) I can also support the wallet development with unique features like advanced checkpointing (ACP) that is now available for the 0.9.x wallet series.

Hello, Titan, thank you, you know you're welcome!
1) When do you plan to complete Gitian builds with up to date nodes?
2) Can you explain please to Mooncoin users what ACP is.


1) I have already done an experimental Gitian Mooncoin build during the security audit some weeks back.
Some things in the source code have to be cleaned up a bit, strings renamed, etc. to make it ready for prime time.
The Gitian builds can be signed by multiple developers to make sure the binaries are ok and no one is sneaking any malicious code into the wallet. The Gitian build system setup tends to be a bit complicated, so it is not much used in the altcoin community.
I have to review the source code again to be able to set some dates for a release.

2) I'll discuss ACP in a reply below to keep the topics separated.
