[Dev] Develop new core 0.9.3 for feathercoin, together

We need all our devs on this…

After the Neo fork, this should be the next thing we do in regards to forks. (I assume it requires a fork?)

But yeah, lets get our own core/ the btc core… finally cut all ties with ltc…

lizhi

No, 0.9.3 core don’t need hard fork, but it will upgrade database. so you can not go back 0.8.6.2

cisahasa

this would basically mean u should have continuous support by yourself adding bitcoin updates to source

if there would be, then i would want to see ufo in same core version after feathercoin.

remember to have guys ready to compile static wallets to mac and linux… windows is the easy one

…remember to have guys ready to compile static wallets to mac and linux… windows is the easy one

I see it just the other way round: Linux is the easy one.

When a final version is released and Bushstar gives a go, I can create linux deb and rpm installation packages easily ;)

No Mac or tools for Mac available unfortunatelly

In this several days ,I had updated site information, I will continue tomorrow ^-^

Today ,had finished the job.

I will check ACP ,eHRC , qr-import ,neoscrypt and history fork for 0.9.3 core wallet tomorrow.

Develop core wallet for neoscrypt , I had finished it Today. Also I do history fork.

I can work normal.

Today, upgrade db-4.8.30.NC to db-5.1.29.NC. I like BerkeleyDB.5.1 :)

You need to add bitcoin_find_bdb51.m4 in src/m4

Because 0.8.7 ACP code have some problem in 0.9.3 core , I re-write SetBestChain in main.cpp. I think Peter Bushnell to check it .

I push my codes ti Github.

what is the benfit /difference between db-4.8.30.NC to db-5.1.29.NC.
some quick easy info to understand?

This is working out really well!

I’m really keen to see how this turns out.

This is just the version of the DB library that is being used. I can’t find anything specific on the changes but I’m guessing minimum is performance improvements and bug fixes. :)

0.9.3 core wallet had support neoscrypt ,It is very good.

I modify core.h

/* Calculates block proof-of-work hash using either NeoScrypt or Scrypt */
    uint256 GetPoWHash() const {   	
        unsigned int profile = 0x0;
        uint256 hash;
        neoscrypt((unsigned char *) &nVersion, (unsigned char *) &hash, profile);				
        return(hash);
    }

0.9.3 core sync blockchain normal .

Enhancement note : Transaction details

Just noticed (again) so making note. The Transaction details in transactions TAB are quite limited, is there any other details available e.g. the block number, better format?

Absolut awesome work Lizhi!!

I have almost finished it, but I’m stuck on this last question. Genesis block is unacceptable. If you upgrade from 0.8.X ,it is all right. But if you are new user, The core can not install normal. :-

Debug:

Luckily, I found a way to solve the problem. I write CheckProofOfWork in CBlockHeader class, When nHeight>=nForkFour ,use neoscrypt, When nHeight

lizhi

I add my site to DNS, After users install core wallet, have 2 address can work

vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData(“ftc-c.com”, “www.ftc-c.com”));
vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData(“pool.ftc-c.com”, “pool.ftc-c.com”));

They are written to peers.dat :)****

I think I’m finished development. I will test multi-sign.
