[Open] BSD operating system - Port for Feathercoin-Qt ?
-
I was thinking of trying BSD sometime and wondered if there was a wallet port for Feathercoind.
Here’s Bitcoin

Nice! I started working on one a few days ago and just posted it before I saw this (weird :)- take a look at this:

Just download it and treat it as a regular Port. Please direct feedback to my other post!

Things are moving forward again and although a peripheral work this would be a great project for someone who wants to get involved in BSD. Shame astrabd did all that then didn’t complete the work.
I would suggest Bushstar (or the Feathercoin / Github Admin) Forks this work, the Dev team could then take push requests. It would be good to approach the open / free BSD community to see if anyone else want to be the FTC admin reproducible for monitoring/managing the Github issues.

Another option would be to update the port the BSD version of Bitcoin or Litecoin
http://www.freshports.org/net-p2p/litecoin/
with the specific Feathercoin fixes, once that’s done it should just be a patch, and should be relatively trivial by the use off diff, comparing source on the appropriate versions.
Another option, is a bit of work on a how to compile from source on BSD.

As an alternative I think maybe we should have a docker image for this. As it runs on most linux/gnu based OS’s and is pretty simple for people to get into.
