4,000 BTE bounty for patching Bytecoin to merged mine

[ahmed_bodi]

the new client that i released is for merged mining as a slave thats how we got it to work

[coretechs]

Is it based on 0.8.3?

[ahmed_bodi]

im not sure if its 0.8.3 i believe it was 0.8.1 ill have to check the source for you and get back

[bitpop]

The new client can mine bte UNDER btc?

[ahmed_bodi]

precisly. our plans is to operate 4 pools offering bitcoin merged mining various other coins including BTE and doing auto exchange or sending each coin to specified address as the user wishes once we are out of beta stages.

[bitpop]

You told me master earlier. I was under that assumption.

But sure, I will release the bounty once the following are complete:
I have a windows binary. Is this patched? http://www.bytehits.info/bytecoin-0.8.1-win32.7z
I sucessfully add it to a p2pool node as a slave mergedmine coin. I plan to use my own p2pool.
The fork begins and people support it. Have you set the block at which it begins?
And I find the first block. This won't take long with 22 ghs.

[ahmed_bodi]

thats the binary for the non merged mined bytecoin. I requested everyone interested to pm me for a copy of the source for the merged mined copy. So that i can compile a list and then decide based on feedback where to go from there. keep it as slave or hardfork and move to master. I dont believe that a hardfork is neccesary from my discussion when using bytecoin as a slave so no fork and block has been set. I shall pm you later with a copy

[bitpop]

Hmm you're the expert, but I think a hardform is required. NMC had to do it. Others came mm stock from the beginning.

Anyway, you are close to 3,000 bte. We will have to find the other guy.

[bitpop]

PS. a daemon would be a nice addition.

[markm]

What aux-chain I.D. was chosen for this chain? It has to be different from the others, you know that, right?

Also i think they might be indexes into an array in coinbase, so skipping a bunch of numbers probably isn't a good idea either as it would waste space in the parent blockchain maybe in all blockchains. So probably using the next number available is the way to go?

[bitpop]

Mark I welcome your opinion on bounty satisfaction.

[ahmed_bodi]

yep it compiles into a daemon just not a qt yet, a few more commits needed yet thats why its currently in beta, so any input is welcome

[bitpop]

No rush. I am excited though.

[defaced]

I have just now forked bitcoin to a new repo, https://github.com/knotwork/Mergecoin.git

This is to be the Mergecoin repo.

I am going to clone it at home and try to get the merged mining patches to apply.

If I can do that I can then push the changes back up to the repo and presto we will have the wonderful common ancestor repo from which all the merged mined coins can then update themselves, and from which bytecoin (and any other bitcoin clone that wants to add merged mining) can also create a new version of itself.

-MarkM-

You have created the Adam of new MM coins.

[ahmed_bodi]

ive not used knotwork's repo, if you ask markm himself he'll tell you he never got it to work. I modified doublec's bitcoin source and then created the bytecoin wallets from there

I'm revoking the bounty. I no longer have the funds.

Anon136 and BladeRunner, feel free to do what you wish. Thanks for the support.

Unfortunately, we didn't gain mass support.

Im still trying to figure out if I owe a bounty and if so to who. BTE is certainly been gaining market support.

Well this merged mining bounty is canceled but you can donate to ahmed I think it is.
