Kendra, Is there still a bounty for gambling? Is so, Cryptobetfair.com is adding skeincoin. I'll give them some funding, but just inquiring if there was a bounty.

question to the developer when you have time,

are you building /compiling with

1) gitian
2) individually on each operating system
3) with a custom toolchain (unlikely since i don't see this in your source

I love you man.
 btw I did a bitcoin hackaton, and atm i'm testing against btc testnet . But i would like to build this on skeincoin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2l0eI5SjBU
Any objections? (haven't tested it on Skeincoin atm, but 0.9.3 should make that possible)

I'm re enabling the skcbot (IRC) and skeintip (Twitter). Reworked some network stuff (No more disconnect issues for the twitterbot yeah!!), and moved it to a Pi2. If anyone disagrees with his or her balance, send me a pm.

offtopic, Kendra can we get a x86 build aswell? (wallet vm is x86 , donno why i did that)

Hi All

I've created a port of Skeincoin to the Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 wallet. This brings Skeincoin up to almost the latest production version wallet. It is also a simple job to add merge mining into Skeincoin (I'm working on another branch for this now), if this is still desired by those who use / own Skeincoin.

My source tree is here - https://github.com/nzsquirrell/skeincoin/tree/0.9

If there's interest in proceeding further with this please let me know.

Can someone please repoint explorer.skeincoin.org to 92.222.20.9 

guys - need active nodes because pool wallet cannot synchronize now

I'm going to hold off on the rest of my response (I still have concerns), but can you give me (and probably others on here) a better idea of how the merge mining would work?

I assume you're talking about Namecoin-style merge mining (http://dot-bit.org/Merged_Mining) where SKC is the auxiliary blockchain.

Would we have to choose in advance which coin(s) will be the parent blockchain? If so, can this be changed in the future without a new hard fork?

From a quick reading, it looks like it might be possible for solo miners to use *any* coin as the parent coin, as long as that coin has the same basic structure and POW algorithm. This is why there's no need to put all the intricacies of Myriad into the Skeincoin code - the validity of the parent header isn't checked. Do I have this right or am I off base?

I know I said I'd hold off on the rest of my response, but as a preview I want to add this: I want Skeincoin to be a great coin, not just get a short term boost. There's no point putting effort into improving this coin to only make a few hundred bucks. I'm glad we've heard from you and that you haven't abandoned Skeincoin, Red Kendra.

No. I'm generally against adding merge mining at such a late stage, and merge-mining with Myriadcoin seems like it'd add even more complications than usual, given its use of multiple algorithms.

With that said, it's time for another checkpoint, and there should probably be checkpoints on a frequent basis given that difficulty is so low.
