So let's say hypothetically I wanted to do some retrocomputing, and install Monero on as old of a system as possible - how far back in the windows timeline could I theoretically go? Windows 95? DOS?

Depends how much pita you can take I guess.

The current PoW requires 256 MB of RAM min. So anything with 256 MB of RAM or less is out.

Running with 16 bit registers is going to be a massive pita. Probably too massive.

So 268 is out.

286

Filesystem should have mmap unless you're ready to rewrite the db code.

A TCP/IP stack unless you want to port to netware or other.

Guess you can run just one daemon though.

you've really only restricted it to 386 or better, it sounds like

though running on a 32bit processor really won't be much fun either

Gonna be a right pain to build though, plonk lots of RAM and everyhting on a RAM disk ^_^

I'd say 1GB RAM is probably minimum now, 256MB for PoW, up to 512MB for DB working set, rest for misc OS/daemon use

but we only have 64bit asm optimizations for the PoW, 32bit will be plain C++

interpreted

I started working on 32bit ARM optimizations but the perf delta vs 64bit just made it pointless

luigi1111w: moo said 6503 can also go in (not sure it you saw the message)

I would say let’s wait 24h before branching

the comment should say pre-bp unless I'm missing something

ok well let’s merge it before branching

can you comment on the issue?

yeah not branching tonight

pr*

yes

Anyone sufficiently acquainted with systemd to look at 6509?

> Last scheduled hard fork time suggests a daemon update will be released within the next couple months.

Does the daemon still expect hardforks every 6 months?

probably

it certainly expects a new software release

That's been recently removed IIRC.

hmm, this is my master daemon

cryptonote_core: take out the time based upgrade warning

Maybe I did not PR that...

I remember that we had the discussion :P

PRed now, sorry :)

we have to merge #6506 and 6510 and then we can branch

moneromooo: does `checkpoints.dat` has to be on the same height as the last `ADD_CHECKPOINT` entry?

No.

the reason I didn’t want to do a v0.16 is because of no hardfork

so CLSAG will be v0.16

but we can drop this naming scheme in the future

hi , anyone have node-cryptonote-util for xmr RandomX ?
