Re: [ANN][MINT] New Wallet Released - Mandatory Upgrade / Hard fork Set for August 1
If that could be done, then surely a better alternative would be to have a wallet that does that automatically by creating a running "genesis block" and keeping it say 6 months (or less) behind while retaining the last 6 months of blocks.
This is basically block-chain trimming, right? I am not a programmer, but I am a conceptualizer.
If I understand this, it would have to be set up so that it would be created every so many blocks... Like every 1-million blocks. So when the 1,000,001 block arrives it has code that automatically pulls in the information required. Then after 1,000 more blocks go by, the 1,000,001 block becomes block 1. Is this possible to implement? We just need someone who can code it. I really think we should do this if possible. All problems would be solved.
I mentioned this before as suggestions to other Coins as something I'd like to see happen and work with a few people to achieve something like this.
What you would do is parse all the addresses of the current chain in a snapshot, then a new genesis Block would be created with 100% premine and all the Coins sent to the addresses of the previous chain. You guys should talk to SuperClam from CLAMS, he would be able to give you a better idea about it but you will need to look into the znort Blockparser https://github.com/znort987/blockparser and the sidecoin project https://github.com/AugurProject/sidecoin
Still fuzzy about how to be able to do it myself though but maybe I could help in some way? I haven't been able to track down anyone that was able to help me with it, I had talked to a developer from CamorraCoin and he was going to help but then disappeared.
