Hey,<br>
<br>
I&#39;d like to simplify the internal reference miner and remove all<br>
dependencies on cryptopp (it&#39;s the only place we use cryptopp instead of<br>
OpenSSL).<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, cryptopp is also used to calculate getwork &quot;midstate&quot;.<br>
This field is redundant and the miner could easily calculate it from the<br>
blockheader so I&#39;d like to remove it.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts? Where should such a change should be announced so all<br>
miners can be upgraded?<br>
