mesh_: lol, just FYI tried your install_db4.sh on a freebsd host this weekend, appears that sha256 has yet another syntax on freebsd. Also berkeleydb 4.8 seems to require some patching to compile. Didn't manage to get it to work. We don't currently mention using it in the freebsd instructions so there's no problem.
< wumpus>
in case someone wants to pick this up, though: apparently freebsd still has a port of berkeleydb4.8, might help to find out what patching is needed https://www.freshports.org/databases/db48
< wumpus>
"Deprecated DEPRECATED: Please migrate to db5 or db6, make sure that bitcoin and siblings moved to another database or version by then" haha
< wumpus>
it's not a problem for ports as ports are just instructions for building from source, but some freebsd packages are also distributed as binary, I guess they have stricter requirements there
< wumpus>
anyhow bitcoin core works fine with the berkeleydb 5 port/package
< meshcollider>
wumpus: the install_db4.sh script is not mine ;)
< meshcollider>
I think you mentioned the wrong person
< wumpus>
meshcollider: oops, I thought it was, nm
< wumpus>
it's jamesob's but I don't think he's on IRC
< meshcollider>
Yeah I haven't seen him here
< fanquake>
He's in here occasionally

jonasschnelli if you did anything for iOS, would you be using Swift or Objective-C? I've been following that convo, I'd be contributing if you use Swift.
< wumpus>
Apple seem to be recommending using swift for new sw
< fanquake>
Yea, I've been using it quite a bit recently. Seem a lot cleaner, and safer than objC. Would definitely use it if the deployment targets would be so recent.
< wumpus>
though the language isn't stable yet, so be prepared to make changes to appease the compiler when new versions are released
< fanquake>
Yes that is one downside, 2 -> 3 -> have already seen quite a few breaking changes.
< fanquake>
*v2 -> 3 -> 4
< fanquake>
Apple will basically do what it wants.
< wumpus>
yep, platform specific language capture is back in vogue

[bitcoin] Sjors opened pull request #11730: WIP [RPC] [Wallet] walletdowngrade command (which can remove HD) (master...wallet-downgrade) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11730
< pgupta>
Hey guys, I have been following an example which was based on an older version of libbitcoin. What will be replacement of this command according to newer version? bc:: ec_point public_key = bc::secret_to_public_key(secret)
< pgupta>
Also the code directly mentions: bc::ec_secret secret; I am not sure if the varaible secret is getting some default value from the moment it is initialized.
