Welcome Mike,

Libbitcoin has a different/better architecture that let you do many things that are complex/impossible with BitcoinD

And latest version is a HUGE improvement and gives more options and more performance.

Let us know if there is anything we can do to cooperate with your project.

Regards

Juan

Subject: [Libbitcoin] Hello List

Howdy, new to libbitcoin but not new to bitcoin, though I'm not too well known in the community - too much drama in the community. That's dangerous for me because when I get involved in drama, I end up making an ass of myself.

My interest in libbitcoin, I am creating a payment processing system for some websites I will run (not a payment processing system for others, too much legal stuff to do that)

I can't use BitPay or the others because I don't want to put my business at the mercy of another company that can decide they will stop processing payments just because they don't like something I am doing.

Anyway the way I run servers, I run CentOS 7 and I only install software packages as an RPM package from a yum repository. Makes it easier to keep everything up to date across many servers.

So I am in the process of packaging all the libbitcoin stuff for CentOS 7.

My source RPMs will not rebuild on typical stock CentOS 7 systems because the version of boost is too old in CentOS 7 but in theory they should build just fine in recent enough versions of Fedora.

On my own CentOS 7 system, since so few applications used Boost, I just upgraded the boost and rebuilt the applications that linked against boost. OpenOffice was the big one, but that's because its a desktop, my servers have very little that uses boost so updating boost to current rather than having two versions seemed to make more sense.

What I have now (don't use, quite alpha packaging) is at http://awel.domblogger.net/7/boost-misc/src/repoview/

But anyway that's what I am doing, partly done already but no real world testing (except for make check in the RPM spec files)

I doubt I will contribute any meaningful code to the project but maybe when I am done with the spec files, they will be of use to people on RPM based systems.

Thank you for this project, it solves a lot of things I didn't see a way to solve with the "standard" bitcoin-core project.

Michael A. Peters (aka Alice Wonder)
