Re: [Bitcoin-development] Random order for clients page

2012-07-09 Thread Nils Schneider
I don't think that's a good idea as it can easily confuse or annoy users when things move around. The ordering should be preserved as much as possible so users can remember where they found a client they liked (e.g. 2nd row, 1st column and screenshot with light and blue colors). Making them search

Can we use a git repo or something more redundant for BIPs? They're rather important and the wiki has been unreliable before. On 27.10.2011 17:15, Amir Taaki wrote: > Anybody know how to contact MT about getting it back online? I still > haven't finished copy-editing the BIPs and need access to th

[Bitcoin-development] Deprecating "midstate" in getwork?

2011-09-26 Thread Nils Schneider
Hey, I'd like to simplify the internal reference miner and remove all dependencies on cryptopp (it's the only place we use cryptopp instead of OpenSSL). Unfortunately, cryptopp is also used to calculate getwork "midstate". This field is redundant and the miner could easily calculate it from the b
