03:43 < warren> sipa: aside from ec and ecdsa, do we rely on anything else in openssl?
03:44 < warren> sipa: whenever you have a full openssl replacement I'll do all of my testing on your lib, but for now I'm going ahead with a stripped down openssl.
04:56 < warren> done!
06:17 < sipa> done what?
15:22 < warren> I decided to just build openssl and boost within the RPM itself, because RHEL5 users can't upgrade their system boost, I'm giving everyone a static build.
15:22 < jgarzik> warren: makes sense
15:23 < warren> It's a little extra slow to build this way. =)
15:23 < jgarzik> warren: RE "rely on openssl"...  we use sha1/sha256/ripemd160, ec, and bignum
15:23 < jgarzik> warren: the hash bits are trivial to replace
15:24 < warren> jgarzik: src/util.cpp:#include <openssl/rand.h> ?
15:24 < jgarzik> warren: that too
15:25 < warren> Maybe I should make a compat-boost package and have bitcoin static link it, so I don't have to rebuild boost every time, and users don't need to download compat-boost.
23:50 < warren> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg1650231#msg1650231  Whoa.  wtf is going on here?
23:50 < warren> that's some hostility and serious accusation
23:51 < gmaxwell> Kano is not a nice person, this isn't news.
23:51 < warren> ok, I don't know who these people are.
23:52 < gmaxwell> He's one of the cgminer developers, but mostly con's pet troll.
23:52 < warren> con is known for his niceness too.
23:52 < gmaxwell> Right. Now imagine his less well socialized sidekick.
23:54 < jrmithdobbs> warren: what's going on there is you read butthurttalk for some reason? your own fault really ;p
23:56 < gmaxwell> If you're interested in the nonce range stuff— For a long time eligius was unique in using coinbase based payments. One side effect of this, however, was that it was more computationally costly to issue work compared to other pools.
23:57 < gmaxwell> Back when miners were slower it wasn't a crazy idea to split up the range of a nonce scan among multiple users in order to reduce that cost. Thus the nonce range support.
23:57 < gmaxwell> No one other than luke ever cared about it much, a number of larger pools just banned slower miners.
