Just created KevaCoin branch

As there is no updates for a long time, finally have created alt branch:

https://github.com/kvazar-network/kevacoin/tree/kvazar

It includes following updates:

Added kex.keva.one DNS seed

Updated libboost API (#33)

Included missed QPainterPath dependency

For info

KevaCoin project was abandoned, because maintainer get out of Covid-19, at least if to believe this version:

According to the information disclosed by the community moderator, the developer/administrator of the project lost contact completely after the outbreak of COVID-19.

Source

But network still alive, and currently has ~750K of hash rate.

Even it cost - nothing, I like this shit-coin because super useful as decentralized key/value database.

I'm reading blockchain using this explorer:

https://github.com/kevacoin-project/geminiapp

Available Clearnet instance for Gemini protocol:

gemini://kvazar.duckdns.org

The branch goal

Thoughts to increase value from 3072 bytes to some useful size.

Because current limitation has no sense, for example, the clitor-is-protocol allows to store even videos there just base64 encoded by parts.

I'm interested to store long articles, some web pages archive, Gemtext as markup-less.

Another thought is to reduce rewards for block, but it requires hard forking.

Currently, not ready to change KevaCoin consensus, but maybe in future - I'll do that.

At this moment, this branch is only an attempt to actualize environment dependencies, because original one could not be compiled on Debian 12.

Everything else I've described on release page and appended binaries for amd64/linux:

One tip

To build KevaCoin with libdb4.8 use following example:

./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd`
export BDB_PREFIX='/given/path/to/db4'
./autogen.sh
./configure BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include"
make
