PLS where is link to download win wallet?
He stated in the bottom of his message that he will post it later.
It was almost 3AM when I finally compiled the Win32 binary. Rushing into things when tired is not professional.
Also, binaries alone aren't enough. There are some licensing obligations with Qt when people use their IDE for building stuff. Qt IDE doesn't allow static linking and I don't want to ship a binary accompanied by a bunch of DLLs.
Therefore,
another build session will be needed, this time for building Qt itself. Then I will be able to make statically linked libraries.
Of course, only if I succeed in building Qt environment itself.
Info for Linux users:
I have been able to compile it on one of my Linux servers as well, so they can repeat the same for their respective distribution. They of course don't need Qt if running on servers. But if they want to use it on desktop Linux then simply install Qt packages for your distribution and compile it with Qt Creator IDE. It's the same way as with Win32 and macOS.
From what i understand he had to do a loooot of work due to old code and not only fixing the code but make it more "readable" (cleaner) so that if anyone wishes to continue this project could do it without spending ours figuring out what the code actually says/makes.
Exactly.
An old, buggy code base is not very useful for any concrete development plan.
Thank you very very much brakmic !!!
You're welcome.
Do you plan to take over and continue developing this?
I think I've already taken it over.
like changing me mn collateral etc. ?
In general,
no Consensus Rules should even be changed without a vital reason like protecting a network from chain split, or to safeguard investors' funds.
One of the most important criteria that distinguishes a proper coin project from dilettante or scam projects is
the way they treat their Consensus Rules.
Developers who follow individual wishes from chats, forums, or "because people want it so" are bigger enemies than professional scammers. Those who touch the code have all the power. Those who touch the code recklessly have all the
power of idiots.
In short: I will never change a single bit in the Consensus Rules without being forced to do so. For example, in case of emergency.
What this project needs is discipline, due diligence, and a plan.
What I am planning to do is:
- Setting up a proper GitHub organization for all the sources.
- Generating statically linked binaries for macOS and Windows.
- Setting up a proper home page, styled as c64 or some other 8bit iconic hardware.
- Gradually updating the code base to reach later stages of Dash development, especially masternodes.
- Embedding Tor functionality for anonymous networking. As this project already has some nice security features an embedded Tor would round it up nicely.
- Setting up communication channels, like twitter, telegram, and discord (admins & mods needed!)
- Setting up a few servers with running 8bit nodes to strengthen the network.
- Getting 8bit back on exchanges.
- Investigating options for a possible mobile app (Android & iOS).
All this will cost energy, time, and money. And it depends on the people who still run 8bit nodes and have invested in it.
If you, guys, think my work is worth something or if you want to support me, here's my donation address:

3MuRDxLt2L2D2XQ1hLvovLHxH3ixzucdDRI would then use BTC funds to pay for servers, webspace and other costs related to this project. 8bit coins would only be used within the project. No trading whatsoever.
To all 8bit holders, fans, and users:If you have another ideas that aren't touching the Consensus Rules or you want to support the project in any way, feel free to contact me.Just go to my profile or check my twitter account:
