What’s next?
The next thing for v0.1.6 is to take advantage of multiple processors to generate blocks. Currently it only starts one thread. If you have a multi-core processor like a Core Duo or Quad this will double or quadruple your production.
That sounds good. I’d also like to be able to run multiple coin/block generators on multiple machines, all behind a single NAT address. I haven’t tried this yet so I don’t know if it works on the current software.
BTW I don’t remember if we talked about this, but the other day some people were mentioning secure timestamping. You want to be able to prove that a certain document existed at a certain time in the past. Seems to me that bitcoin’s stack of blocks would be perfect for this.
Later I want to add interfaces to make it really easy to integrate into websites from any server side language.
Right, and I’d like to see more of a library interface that could be called from programming or scripting languages, on the client side as well.
