I just realized a significant short-cut that I can take. I am doing that silly thing of programming with urgency, brewing much coffee, and putting off sleep. I hope it works.
The short-cut will eliminate the need to solve a difficult problem during the transition from BTE to BTE-HT.
I am in the flush of thinking everything is now solved. If you have programmed very long, you will recognize this phase, and laugh.
However, some questions have a new urgency.
1. Can anyone build the windows client? If not, I can learn how, but it will cause a delay.
2. How much is my effort worth, in coins?
3. What is the name and symbol of the forked coin? BHT, for Bytecoin-Hard Turtle, comes to mind but there is a name collision with the BitHub exchange. I think that keeping the same name after a hard-fork will cause confusion.
I have artwork and another name ready to go, but I want to hear from the community.
