linux: http://www.hashcash.org/binaries/rpms/ windows: http://www.hashcash.org/binaries/win32/ source: http://www.hashcash.org/source/ This gives some new features: - ability to select core with -O <core> - -v now displays the core - new option -P shows progress during minting - you can use the -e option with -p to override the expiry given at spend time. (Prompted by a comment from Atom). also a couple of bug fixes: - grace period was not applied to double-spend db. I think this could allow people to double-spend in the time period after the resulting premature purging and before expiry (which is the grace period) And some cool cross-compiler stuff (not directly related to using hashcash software, just related to building it): I now have a mingw cross compiler. Amazing .. so I can build windows .exes .dlls etc. I had to use wine and a free link.exe from microsoft (used with /lib option to function as lib.exe) to be able to convert a hashcash.dll + hashcash.def into a hashcash.lib. It seems there is no other way to do it which is a bit crappy. Anyway this means my deploy script is once more fully automated: just type "make dist" and it builds everything for fedora, and now windows. Adam
