Topic: Coinbaser branch's new JSON-RPC method - page 3. (Read 6062 times)
So, how do you intend setworkaux to be used?
I voted no because of the fine-print in your original post.
The poll was, as stated, unrelated to the "fine print". You asked for consensus on JSON-RPC changes, which has nothing to do with the fine print.I think setworkaux is OK, but I don't like "doesn't work on windows" changes to support one mining pool.
It might work on Windows with a few changes, but I don't have a Windows system to test on. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/96ayss4b(v=vs.71).aspxAlso, there's nothing Eligius-specific about it.

I'd love to hear why someone voted No.

My coinbaser branch adds a "setworkaux" method to allow miners to add arbitrary coinbase data to their blocks. This is mainly useful to implement merged mining (mining for both bitcoins and namecoins concurrently), but could also be used for miner voting in the future. As with any JSON-RPC change, adding this requires some kind of consensus. Please vote in support.
This is a backward compatible change.
Unrelated to this poll:
In addition to "setworkaux", coinbaser also adds (non-Windows only!) a "-coinbaser=" command line option to specify a command to execute during "getwork" calls; the command may output data specifying where to assign the generated coins (this is how I do generated payouts on Eligius). It also adds a minor internal restructure of coinbase-creation code, which can be used to more easily implement automatic feature upgrades (OP_EVAL, for example) by miner adoption. These changes are also backward-compatible, and provide useful functionality.
