What's the next step and who has the ability to take it? If we're hard forking away from the auto-hodl, and if that means requiring a new wallet/miner (3.0?), is this the time to get the optiminer improvements into the wallet? I think @Fuzzbawls might have been working on that, is that still the case? @Freetrade also mentioned that getting those improvements into the wallet miner was perhaps the most important next step.
The central question would then be, do we charge ahead with removing auto-hodl and worry about the wallet improvements later or wait and do both at the same time?
All I have is questions, does anyone have any answers?
I think, at a minimum -
1. Fork code update (most coin devs could handle this)
2. Bug code fix (I've volunteered to do this)
3. New Wallet Binaries Compiled (Fuzz has handled this in the past)
4. Yobit update (may require payment)
nice to have
5. Wallet mining optimizations (what Fuzz showed me was probably 90% there)
Excellent thank you.
Ok, so it looks like we need a coin dev to work with Fuzzbawls and Freetrade on the pieces and parts, assuming Fuzzbawls is willing, are you Fuzz? Is there someone who would like to step up to the role of coding the new fork, integrating Freetrade's fix, and perhaps integrating the wallet optimizations?
We are certainly appreciative of anyone who is, has, or will donate their time and expertise to the project. However, dev's do like to see some consideration for the hard work they do and the time they put in and we don't want to proceed with the assumption that everything is going to be done for free. What would be appropriate bounties to provide for everything in Freetrade's list?
So here's a question from a non-dev-type (me). We were rolling along on Version 1 of the wallet/miner. We hard-forked to Version 2. We now want to un-fork (or fork again if that is more appropriate). If we changed nothing in terms of the bug fix or optimizations (for the moment), could we not simply use Version 1 again? And if that's possible, would the bug fix and optimizations be able to be put in to the wallet later without it being a dramatic fork?
