#41837: Enhancements for bitcoind
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  zachlym@…    |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:  MacPorts Future
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:               |       Port:  bitcoind
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 I was trying to modify your bitcoind portfile to install namecoind and
 failed utterly.  However, I have previously figured out some things while
 installing Namecoin which you might find helpful.  Everything should work
 with Bitcoin but no promises : )

 Auto-setup bitcoin.conf:
 {{{#!sh
 RPCPASS=`openssl rand -hex 7`
 RPCUSER=`whoami`
 echo "rpcuser=$RPCUSER \nrpcpassword=$RPCPASS \nrpcport=8336" >
 ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
 }}}

 I believe you can also set 'daemon=1' in bitcoin.conf and avoid the
 (irritatingly redundant) bitcoind -deamon switch.

 Your comments mention something about automake and config, I think you
 just use the normal 'make -f makefile.osx' and set 'use_configure no'.

 Your post install notes comments should mention something about
 [http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/tags/bootstrap.dat/info bootstrap.dat]
 so the user doesn't have to wait 72 hours for their blockchain to be
 built.
