Experiment with new `ethash` library

Open pipermerriam opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

What is wrong?

There is a new set of bindings released for ethash

https://github.com/chfast/ethash/tree/v0.5.1-alpha.1/bindings/python/ethash

They might also include progpow?

How can it be fixed

We need to try them out.

This would likely also fix the issues caused by the current (unmaintained) pyethash library. See discussion in https://github.com/ethereum/ethash/pull/107 (pyethash and as an extension your project currently can't be installed via pip on anything but linux without manually modifying the pyethash files)
