The 90 minutes is not - the blockchain has grown quite a lot since last year, and as for the 3.5 speed, I havn't tested it since Pieter's ultraprune - libcoin also has something similar to ultraprune, done directly in the sqlite database backend, but I should run a head to head again - could

Hi Bazyli, I actually do my main development on Mac OSX, so it surprises me to hear - I build Xcode projects with libcoin daily on Mac OSX and linux, on Windows it is agreeable more of a fight to build. QT is really not needed, I kept it there for BitcoinQT, that was once part of the tree too,

Hi Bazyli, Just did a fresh build based on git (Xcode) - had one issue: the paillier and account tests were missing - please comment them out in tests/CMakeLists.txt, then coinexplorer should build nicely. Note I did a git push as well, so you need to do a git pull first. /Michael

Heh, will do. If you have less confidence in your programming skills perhaps its best if you write documentation and we bring in someone else to do the heavy lifting? Maybe Eric Lombrozo would be interested in this, for example... -wendell grabhive.com | twitter.com/grabhive On Jul 18, 2013,
