Hey all!
My name is Fred Concklin and I plan on working on Bitcoin development
through my position at Trucoin. I thought I'd take this chance to
introduce myself and go over where I can make contributions.
I'm great with automated builds and testing for GNU/Linux and BSD
platforms and generally plan on structuring the bitcoin project into a
structure compliant with GNU autotools to facilitate testing and bug
reporting.
I'm also interested in work to daemonize bitcoin on boot and furthering
work to bring bitcoin into general coding and implementation paradigms
seen on GNU/Linux platforms.
While I mainly spend my time in high level functional programming
languages these days, I look forward to working on bitcoin and hope
everybody is patient with my occasional cpp implementation ineptitudes.
I'm also interested in spurring discussion on new blockchain
distribution techniques and thoughts on improvements for bitcoin.
I'm excited to begin work on bitcoin.

What? It already works fine in this regard using standard tools. Especially
easy with daemontools/runit.

He said standard *coding and implementation paradigms*. This has nothing to do
with integration with some non-standard "init replacement" that goes against
the whole design of Unix.
What I understand this to mean, is properly abstracting the components such
that the node, wallet, and GUI can work together while being distinct parts.
In this sense, Fred, you may be interested in working on coming up with a
standard for a https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_protocol

I don't think you're actually familiar with either of those tools. A run
script is not much different than an init script?
Those who live in tonal caves shouldn't crap on themselves, or something.

autotools yay. Also, have you seen jenkins.bluematt.me?

No one has complained too much about mine yet, so I think you are safe.

Thanks for the warm welcome...
I was specifically referring to building with autotools as a starting
point. Primarily autoconf to ease the installation and testing process.

In this regard I was referring to running bitcoin in /etc/init.d on
Debian based systems. By init script, I was referring to making scripts
run at boot time.

Some work has already been done for autotools (not yet merged into main
repo). You might want to start there.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll get started there.
