Re: [ANN] (QTUM) - A Scalable PoS Smart Contract Platform - TestNet Live!
Just wanted to give a small update. We finally got Qtum to compile through Gitian. Basically, this means a few things
1. Creating release quality builds (ie, statically linked etc) is now just a trivial set of 3 commands
2. Ordinary users can produce these builds and they will have the exact same bytes and sha256 hash as what we produce. This allows you to confirm that we aren't adding anything extra
3. We will be setup for producing Windows, Linux, and OSX builds for testnet-2, including some packages and installers. This should make things a lot easier for users to get started
4. We now have functioning aarch64 and ARM builds, meaning...
You can run a full-node for Qtum on a raspberry pi without having to compile it yourself, and it is capable of staking, block creation, transaction auditing, smart contract interaction, etc. No Qt wallet though, command-line only.
