Hello everyone! I just wanted to drop a line and let everyone know I'm the developer for the Ethereum Go implementation (found at https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum). If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know.
This is cool. Do I understand correctly that Vitalik also has a client somewhere, and so there would be two clients from the get-go? Or is the go-ethereum client the only one?
Ok, next: one needs to make sure that the python-dev and python-docutils packages are installed, and one needs to build https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysha3/
I've been trying to build it on my Gentoo system and so far haven't had the best luck. Can you look at my post here and let me know what I'm doing wrong?
@obscuren I've been running the go-ethereum client for about three days. is the algorithm and the blocks it generates close to being on par with the c++ client ?
Are the generated 'test-net' blocks being saved and when the gui comes out later will they show up ?
I wish I would get notifications when I get notified. Sorry for the late response @arekzb. The algorithm (I guess you mean the mining algorithm) and the block generation is equal to C++. It has to if C++ and Go want interops (which is what we need :-)). For the GUI, it's not high on the priority list. The main focus is protocol implementation for the time being. But feel free to step in if you have experience in that field :-)
