I am starting this thread for us to keep active with an ongoing challenge, to comment one of the 12,222 lines of code in the original version of Satoshi's bitcoin client code (bitcoin-0.1.0), namely the line numbered with: ('next block hash in decimal' mod '12222').
Please commit to comment about it only during the time within blocks creation so that when a new block is created we move on to discuss about the next line we are faced with. This will prevent the discussion in this thread to become too much of a mess and keep us focused on the here and now of the code line we are faced with.
If some of us could please help others keeping this thread updated in terms of telling simply what is the next code line we got so that others can focus entirely on commenting about it, it could make our lives easier.
Please contextualize your code comments of the new line of code being analysed and discussed as much as possible so that this thread can become an interestingly active and valuable resource.
I fear this thread may not gain traction, but let's see. I will try to do my part contributing a bit to it now and then.
I think we shoud start with the 12,222 lines of code of the original client (
http://pastebin.com/MfABqyJd) and maybe later consider other versions, with other threads, perhaps.
Again, let's try to focus on the code line drawing we are on right at this moment, and try to let go of what was missed in the previous ones.
This little rule is just a guideline and you may override it if you think it makes sense, of course.
Will you help?
