common trust? well every moment that goes by and every proprietary and not open source change they make to make this "unique" running the road alone doesn't offer trust.... take a look at the entire world not just a small part of it!
the dev said" Still hacking, but so far, we have two choices:
1. make DMD hash like the other groestl coins and fork (!) again.
2. Modify both stratum AND the miner and avoid the fork. I am currently working in this direction.
taking the fork would solve the problem and number 2 is simply taking on a doubt full approach on coding that may or may not succeed.
I would think more of trying to get this working as others are working and not simply hack stuff to simply make it work for the moment then later it happens again. or not? but who knows?
with taking the fork it would get this coin back in the running trying to recover some of its credibility and would have several "devs" working on it not just this team
That's not the dev, that's me. There might be other options I am not aware of, that the dev might know. I am just trying to help -- and this is what I have come to so far.
Both approaches are fine with me -- the new DMD needs significant modifications from the old DMD in order to be mined in pools, no matter what. Either forking, or making the proper modifications to stratum/miner will work. Forking is just more painful.
By the way, "hacking the code" is the stage when you make it work. Then you refactor your hacks before publishing to make it fit the respective stratum/miner/wallet frameworks.
Again, I am not the dev of either the wallet, the stratum server or the miner. I am just an member of the public, who happened to care.
