Hey there everyone, I’m stalled out in some of my porting efforts by needing additional hardware. Number one on the list is an Android phone with enough RAM to run a full node. One with an arm64 processor would be best, but one with an x86 would work too, at least for getting going on the build system changes (I’ll be using Termux). Keep in mind that if its an ARM processor phone it must be aarch64 (full ARMv8 instruction set)!
Also, the dev system I have access to for arm64 builds got its OS upgraded to something newer than Debian Jesse, so a Pine64 or Mustang board for me to do linux arm builds on would also be great (I’m stalled out on updating the arm64 port to 1.0.4 as the build env I have access to is effectively busted for my purposes ).
If anyone has an older Mac that can run Sierra with at least 4 gigs of RAM (old Mac Mini or similar would be ideal), that’d also be great.
Thanks everyone, the more gear I have, the more platforms I can get ports built and tested for! Give us your tired, your old, you not-quite-fast-enough-for-you hardware! PM me for shipping address! (or do “whois mercerweiss.com”, whichever )
Donations in cryptocurrencies or fiat are of course also nice, we’re still wondering how we’ll make rent for January! see https://zcash.mercerweiss.com for btc/ltc/eth/zec and paypal addresses!
Thanks everyone, and have Happy Holidays! Stay warm mining!
