How are we ever going to wake up Hal if we can't even get folks to mine a cryptocurrency that actually breaks world records ...
I wish I had merit to send you for this post.
50 merit awarded, per pro (hope you don't mind).
FWIW, I've spent some time with the Gapcoin source code, upgrading it to use OpenSSL 1.1 (so it now compiles on contemporary Linux versions). I took the liberty of reverting the egregious irrelevant changes to the source code caused by j0nn9's over-eager regexp (
https://github.com/gjhiggins/gapcoin/commit/551b27b55f9360d5788c047573f41122ddbfb53e) because only a few delicate changes are actually needed to do the job and there are distinct benefits from having a close match, not least in terms of making it easier to take advantage of upstream developments. In consequence, I was able to merge the Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 and Bitcoin Core 0.9.4 upstream releases (
https://github.com/gjhiggins/gapcoin/commits/v0.9.3-gap). This work has been done in a separate branch "v0.9.3-gap" in my own forked repository on Github -
https://github.com/gjhiggins/gapcoin/tree/v0.9.3-gapAlso, I am working on some GUI improvements/enhancements, again in a separate branch which I hope to commit to the repository towards the end of the week.
Cheers
