The lines in the help are sometimes long

I have a tiny notebook with 7 inch display and it is readable there too
< esotericnonsense>
this is my 14in
< karelb>
And really it's mostly intended for if you need a quick reference (what's the argument name, is it json or string or array, etc) and then close it
< elwray>
how can i debug bitcoin in windows?
< Varunram>
karelb: looks fine on high DPI machines too, thx for compiling :)

Guys, any guide to follow for build a small bitcoin-based cryptocurrency?
< armid>
I mean a small one but can be usable
< armid>
I found many articles but most of them are just prototype and cannot be used in real life or testing
< armid>
such as jeiwan who implemented in Golang that has double spending problem.
< sipa>
if you're building another cryptocurrency, this is the wrong place
< sipa>
try ##altcoin-dev
< armid>
thanks!
< eklitzke>
how is bitcoincore.org maintained? it has an official relationship with the bitcoin project right?
< instagibbs>
it's under the bitcoin-core org in github, yes
< eklitzke>
thanks
< luke-jr>
eklitzke: there is no official "bitcoin project", note
< eklitzke>
pardon me, affiliated with bitcoin core
< eklitzke>
is that more accurate?
< meshcollider>
Regardless of terminology yes it's the site for the bitcoin core project

< mrannanay>
I'm a little confused, why does Travis always give different compilation results than what I see on my local build?
< mrannanay>
Also, how can I test changes that I make to src/net.cpp ?
< sipa>
what do you mean with 'different compilation results'?
< ryanofsky>
travis builds a merged commit, you can fetch what it builds with "git fetch https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin pull/12288/merge"

this leveldb thing is kind of a mess, upstream no longer supports windows and i want to add more platform-specific optimizations in a sane way
< eklitzke>
i'm not sure it's worth trying to send them my changes given they only support one platform now
< luke-jr>
eklitzke: what? Chrome still runs on Windows..
< ryanofsky>
i actually looked into using mojo for bitcoin, but the standalone mojo project went away, and now there are just forks in chromium and fuchsia
< eklitzke>
related, it would be nice to use some of the platform-specific optimizations they have in the leveldb envs elsewhere in the bitcoin codebase (e.g. in addition to mmap-backed files they have a pread based implementation for random access files)
< eklitzke>
you can pass in a custom environment object to a leveldb handle via the options struct, so in principle we could just take the environments in tree and customize them how we want and supply them to leveldb that way
