Just chiming in to say there are indeed other (very) active Mulberry=20
users out there still. It's the only desktop client I use, as it has=20
been for the past two decades.

It's been several years since I ran a client on Windows though (I don't =

know how to build for Windows, and the severely outdated bundled=20
OpenSSL libs in the pre-compiled version makes it nigh unusable against =

modern servers), but I build and run my own on (Debian/Ubuntu) Linux,=20
and it still performs as well as it always has. The 32-bitness is a=20
pain, and I really would like to be able to build it against an OpenSSL =

version of today, but you get by.

One of these days(..) I do intend to gather my minor build fixes on=20
GitHub, but it hasn't happened yet - in part due to an ever-growing=20
todo list, and in part simply because I don't know who else might be=20
interested. If I've underestimated the interest in something like this, =

please do let me know, and perhaps I can give it a slight bump.=20
Particularly if someone who's an actual developer could help out with=20
some minor fixes here and there - I usually have to work around issues, =

rather than actually fix them.
