Thanks.
I guess my point is with all of the crypto-currencies out there, it seems unwieldy to have a unique client for each. (and dangerous as it's hard to know what sources to trust)
I expected to configure the .conf in bitcoind to "connect" it to the hobonickel (or any other currency) blockchain. I'm seeing it's not the case.
Is there any reason a client couldn't be used for any currency? I thought they all followed the same model.
I have a feeling I'm going to have to learn the hardway by digging though the bitcoind source...
They are all based on the Bitcoin protocol. But the parameters of the client and blockchain differ from minor changes to a complete overhaul. While i do agree, with an abundance of coins around, there should be 1 client that could support them all. Perhaps a bounty could be made for this client? A client that you could just import the priv key of the coins wallet and have it all in one?
Only time will tell if something like that is created
