Don't all get too excited, as I still have to sort out some dll hell in order to provide a user friendly Windows exe, but I finally have a running copy of SparkQT ver1.2
Still throws the Visual C++ error unless I disable the network adaptor whilst its starting, if its an easy error to debug and fix I will, otherwise that can wait for another release.
ah cool man... I'm at it, too... yet, lot of time went by to just get those darn deps together... neither qt, nor vs are my domain in the first place... everything c/c++ under windows... yikes.
yet, out of bare nothing, I'm still confident to get it to a first clean run within the next 24h...
talked to a friend of mine today if I could get some space and cycles on his server to get an insight block explorer + wallet to run... and he was pretty curious and open after I mouthwatered him with what heck of a beast node would be (he's an oldschool perl/php guy... node was certain witchcraft to him til now
) ... think we should get that going somewhere next week... try to quench as much time out of my schedule as possible
..
Whoever is going to be the new dev, you should fork the github to one is under your control, restart this thread with new plans etc , coin is working fine
creating an 'official repo', making propper announcement, etc. marketing blurb., are indeed close to be necessary...
yet, first we need to get the infrastructure going SAVE... we're getting closer, yet I would consider current state more or less as hotfixed only.
At this time, I'd say that the SPARK that is distributed will be save, as long as the market refunding works as expected.
RentaMouse is at the windows wallet, I'm too... and getting the refunds via an instamine block would be the solution to implement if possible.
however, at the moment I myself do have no solution in mind, how I would actually implement that, as I'm just getting into the guts of the techniques underneath...
...haha, well... I should be wee bit more secretive about making too much assertions before getting the wallet to compile propperly in one go under windows
however I guess we'll know within the next week if we can do reproduce the lost SPARK via superblock or the likes... or if we need to achieve it via donations.
within the next week I'll also try to get the block explorer going... a richlist will for sure help finding some folks to motivate for donations, I'd say
Glad to hear Bittrex are re-enabling trading, thanks for all the support @Richiela et al
If we can do a 50k "instamine" block to cover the exchange shortfalls etc, are any Spark holders going to complain? Best to say so now rather than moan about it later!
One thing it would be good to establish is whether any major pools were mining on the minority chain after the fork, iirc the nethash on that fork was pretty low about 12hrs after block 10040 so I suspect there weren't many miners - it will be impossible to calculate any compensation for them as they would have been earning a huge amount of SPARK/MHs on that chain due to the low net hashrate.
I'm back working on compiling the Windows GUI wallet, delays partly due to me messing up one Windows machine and partly because the source we inherited is something of a mish-mash - the dev has added stuff on to his original Shadow/Silkcoin clone but the documentation is far behind.
lol, not just that ... I looked at the silkcoin code and that doku seems to be as well behind... doku? DOKU?? we don't need no stinkin' DOKU!!!
