Feathercoin is the Technology coin: Make Neoscrypt a library and share it
-
Excellent. Cryptocoin Lego. Yes.
-
Can we actually release it as a library? Like apt-get install libneoscrypt?
-
Oh right that’s a good question. That’s a little beyond my skill set however :(

in principle it is possible.
never compiled code into a library, but that’s jsut a question of reading and learning, but no magic.
To create installation packages for Linux distributions is no problem for me.
But making it a library implies, that the feathercoin client code is modified again in order to use the library.
Would look strange, if we provide a library, but don’t use it in our own code.
-
Make the library.
Get exchanges and pools to use.
Modify coin code to use library.
Establish vulnerability discussion place.

Another way to do this would be to create a docker image for p2pool / Feathercoind so that its really really easy for anyone to run them.
I’ve got experience of docker so I could make a docker file if someone could give me step by step install instructions for say Ubuntu 14.04 -
Docker is a bit of an overkill for a single program though.
-
Docker is intended for single applications or processes. It means all software md dependencies are contained within a docker image. All you need do is install docker which already has a Linux repo and pull the Feathercoind / p2pool image from the docker hub. Its only got a slight memory and overhead compared to running software directly but its much simpler.
Docker has a massive following and seems to be changing the way the software industry is thinking about software. Long gone are the monolithic apps of the past. Docker allows us to realise micro services with no context merging or overlap even on one host.
Sorry but I’m really loving docker right now.
-
It just sounds too much like a hack the client / server people came up with to delay the full on peer to peer conversion that’s coming.
Also libraries are a basic concept of software development. We don’t need the crutch. Anyway we still need different images per OS.
I’ll check out docker, just the same.
Also got a mac to test on.
-
With docker you don’t need different libraries for different platforms your docker container runs on Linux / Mac and potentially windows (shudder) at some point.
-
Your right tho the tech is at a different level. Its architecture rather than library but it could make the tech more accessible.

It can be made into a library easily. It doesn’t depend on any third party components. I’ve nearly finished to rewrite it in the 32-bit and 64-bit x86 assembly. Completely.
-
Cool :) Could you put it in a form other coins can use as well?
Our value is our reputation for contributing market leading ideas to coin ecosystem.
Now I’ll do over 9000 finger pushups for breaking the buzzword limit.

Great :) +1
