18:30 <stevenroose> hey guys, been chatting with jungly who's working on p2pool and they are considering doing a hard fork of testnet4 in a desperate attempt to have a working testnet.

18:30 <stevenroose> What is the status of testnet5? It seems counterproductive to be doing effort of t4 when t5 is also being worked on in parellell?

18:32 <stevenroose> I heard some talk about collaboratively mining the T5 genesis block? Once there is some bitcoind patch that can be built with T5 in it, p2pool's test instance can immediatelly help mining on it. Not sure what it would take for p2pool to join the gen block work. But we might as well all point to a central pool for that.

18:34 <darosior> _aj_ has been doing some preparation work to mine the genesis block

18:35 <darosior> And i think fjahr would create a release of a Bitcoin Core fork with just testnet5 on top of version 32 once this is done

18:43 <stevenroose> That would be amazing :)
