As you know, a new code need more time to study,
I am familiar with the 0.8.6 version, it is easy to transplant the compression algorithm code to 0.8.6 version.
Well if you want this to be adopted by Bitcoin Core, you will have to put it into the master branch. As I said earlier, 0.8.6 is old and outdated. It is 5 major releases behind, during which time the code has been refactored, changed, and shuffled around. Furthermore 0.8.6 has some vulnerabilities in it that were solved in later releases.

If you want to be taken seriously, make it for the latest master. No one cares about what you can do, clearly you can program and read code, it shouldn't be hard to figure out where to put it in the master branch. Bitcoin Core is very well documented and commented.

0.8.6 is what most altcoins are based on, it is an old codebase with many vulnerabilities. Also look at the screenshots. This is in the wrong subforum.

You guy hurt my heart,  Angry
I offer my ideas for free, and provide the source code that can be compiled,
It is used to test and prove that this compression algorithm is possible,
I'm doing this for free, I just hope to help bitcoin, make it better.
Almost everyone who contributes to Bitcoin Core does it for free. Sure the compression algo is possible on 0.8.6, but will it still work on master? Why don't you try it out.

I do agree though that gmaxwell shouldn't have moved this as it is about Bitcoin Core, albeit an old version.
