I tried to build masternode, took sources from here:
https://github.com/8bit-dev/8bitBut in order to get it running I had to actually edit sources and call dead code that is responsible for reading masternode.conf.
Is it supposed to be like that, or I am missing something?
Hello

Yes there are some unusual parts to current codebase, there is currently a major 8bit upgrade under development and soon to be launched. New wallets, new features etc.
If you've got any suggestions or pull requests in the meantime though, I'm sure the community would be happy with the input.
So are you doing a upgrade of the current codebase to the PIVX codebase on the current chain? Or do you plan to do a coin swap?
