Hiya folks,
So, I stumbled onto this looking for random stuff to mine, and decided to compile a wallet.

An observation or two...

1. the wallet compiles pretty easily, and that's good.  But, if you need to compile the leveldb stuff separately, you should document that somewhere obvious.  That was a small pain the the ass to figure out. (Orrrrr, can that be included in the main makefile so the spacecoin make process will do it as part of the spacecoin build itself? Especially considering you're already distributing the leveldb source with the spacecoin code anyway.)

2. Not that it matters with only a week's worth of data in the chain now, but going forward... LOTS of blocks = slow sync.  At the rate this loads blocks into the chain vs. the raw number of blocks this coin produces, in six months it is honestly conceivable that a fresh wallet might take several DAYS to sync.  There's dozens of wallets out there that have that exact problem, and most of them aren't as block-chatty as spacecoin seems to be.

Anyway, I'm liking this coin thus far... So, I'm going to keep most of my mining, stake them for a while, and I'm curious to see where you folks can take this.

Cheers
