Hello Everyone. Just been updating myself on the discussion. I spoke with cryptomommy about the UI changes and have a few ideas for the update.
I noticed that a lot of the code is from an early Peercoin fork. Big project to bring it more inline with more recent ideas and revelations. I want to propose adding some statistical gathering code to in a point release before the fork so we can see how blocks are propagating through the network, this way we can see how much time drift is reflected and which limit is best. At this point any lower number is better than two hours but what would be best for MintCoin? Lets find out! I'm working on the UI commits and want to add the data collection as well.
A later and bigger project would be bringing down some memory usage and sync times by packing the block chain into chunks and hashing them and and distributing them among the peers building the db during some idle cycles later. Any ideas or examples of that would be appreciated as I said, it would be a big project.
I'm also taking request for other idea as coding work for me slows down this time of year. I love the Idea of MintCoin and want to see it succeed.
Thanks for any input
