Darkcoin-0.12: Porting the Bitcoin-0.10 tree ...

After 0.9 was a great succes, I am now trying to port the latest bitcoin 0.10-tree to be compatible with the Darkcoin network:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/0.10

The bitcoin 0.10.x core wallet is currently in release candidate status (rc, to be released soon) and we should start porting its feature rather sooner than later. I can't promise anything yet, will do it step by step and document any progress in this thread.

First step is compiling a list of things which need to be done:
https://github.com/vertoe/darkcoil/blob/master-0.10/TODO.md

Any hints and discussion very welcome. This is the first time I'm working on a 0.10.x-tree.
 
The most interesting (and technically challenging) feature in this release will be the headers-first synchronization which changes a lot how the client reads and distributes the blockchain.

Before syncing the whole blockchain (currently a couple of 100s MB) the client requests only the block headers (only a couple of MB) which takes less than a minutes. Awesome stuff.

But that said, this port will be technically more complicated and will take some time. This and because bitcoin-0.10 is not released yet will allow me to carefully announce a release date at the end of Q2/2015. Will update if I make good progress here.
 
I wanted to fixed some wrong UI-texts in v0.11.x and found a LOT of obsolete Bitcoin references in the locale-files which I planned to fix/remove as well...

Does it make sense to do that now? With Bitcoin-0.10 we'll have all that stuff again...:rolleyes:

Will put the strings up at transifex. This will be simple as beer. Stay tuned.

Any notes on hierarchical deterministic wallets with relation to Darkcoin? I'm trying to understand them better with Bitcoin and my very limited grasp suggests they could effect darksend. Thanks.

Will not happen in CORE. Keep an eye out for other wallets or libs.
 
Godspeed guys. Great to see such proactiveness out of our Dev team! I look forward to watching your progress.
