*Notes about raventoo-qt and how it differs from the
official community release raven-qt*
Update 2021 May:
The raventoo-qt repository has been deleted.
That project was a personalized and improved version of the
raven-qt node for Ravencoin.
A few months ago I decided to work within the Ravencoin
community to launch Special Interest Groups (SIGs) in order
to lead and expand the amount of code development taking
place in the community in a volunteer distributed manner in
the spirit of bitcoin. That effort has been well accepted by
the community, and now consists of many talented
hard-working developers working on different projects in
multiple SIGs. As the leader of the raven-qt SIG, all
improvements to raven-qt are now made in that SIG.
For more information, please see the SIG website at:
https://github.com/Ravenqt-RVN-SIG/ravenqt-sig-info
and the raven-qt repositories at:
https://github.com/Ravenqt-RVN-SIG/Ravencoin
and
https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin
Improvements made in raventoo-qt:
1) raventoo-qt now has a re-designed dialog window GUI for
entering BIP39 seed words and passphrase when setting up the
wallet. For details see
HERE
2) TBD... if I have time over the Christmas holiday, I
may look at adding messaging support to the GUI
FAQ about
raventoo-qt:
What is raventoo-qt?
- raventoo-qt is my personal version of the Ravencoin
raven-qt node and wallet client. For details about
Ravencoin, see: https://ravencoin.org
How is raventoo-qt different from raven-qt?
- The "too" in raventoo implies that raventoo intends to
be fully compatible with the official Ravencoin raven-qt
client for all consensus rules (it is NOT a chain fork).
- The differences between raventoo-qt and raven-qt are
purely related to GUI and ease-of-use features as well
as possible performance enhancements. The raven-qt
software has been under-maintained recently due to lack
of resources. I also have limited time, but have started
to invest some effort for my own fun and education. I am
simply posting the results here for anyone else who has
interest.
Why not just put this into pull requests for the
community version?
- My intention is that most code modifications posted
here will also be useable as pull requests for the
official client. There may be situations where I make
style or feature choices for my own use while the
community has a different preference. Plus, I and just
playing and learning.
