For some reason this chain stopped updating on my system months ago (no connections and/or the two or three peers found do not transmit updated blocks). I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 currently.
I'm missing the Flappy/Flapx-experience and would like to remedy this in some manner someday. That is, I would like to have an excuse to run a full-node again.While describing a hoped-for scenario, I figure I might as well float a trial balloon about somewhat similar-themed [and amusing] projects that either don't exist (the first example listed) or are wilting on the vine such as: a "GrooCoin" -- based on the Groo the Wanderer character [*sort of* a Conan the Barbarian spoof... but with a world unto itself... I'd suggest "cheese dip" as the unit-of-account (if one is familiar with one of Groo's main motivations, the rationale will be obvious)] -- maybe with some proportion of stakes+mining [20-30% ?? a hybrid coin??] paid to an address set aside for the creator Sergio Aragones, Dobbscoin, or some of the Blazr2/HagbardCeline coins like 23 Skidoo [CHAO], Cthulhu Offerings [OFF], Flaxscript [FLAX], or Melange [SPICE]. ^_^ (nudge nudge) [ EDIT: After writing the original draft of this message a couple days ago, I found out that Dobbscoin has been rebooted as a PoS-chain with *wince* masternodes and is being tinkered with some more [albeit implemented with an older version of the Boost libraries. ]
BTW, this is probably another long-term goal, but it would be worthwhile to modernize the openssl for Flapx. Like many (most?) altcoins, it seems to be reliant/built upon the cryptographic handshaking protocols of older versions than the 1.1.1 long-term support version (see
https://www.openssl.org/source/ ).
Finally, it wouldn't hurt to scrutinize Bisq as an exchange option [decentralized exchange running over Tor ...
https://bisq.network/vision/ ] The steps to list an asset seem straightforward [
https://docs.bisq.network/exchange/howto/list-asset.html ] Some experience with git and looking at how unit-tests are implemented in Java seem to be the only hurdles.
Sorry to be pointing out problems or promoting challenging projects without offering much help **at present** (I've been focusing on other areas of programming not real germane to this -- assembly [Intel, gnu/gas], Lisp, Smalltalk, shell-scripting, Perl, some other stuff... not really C++, autotools, make, version contron [git, mercurial, or other] at the moment).
