Subject: Re: cryptocurrency mining fallback in JtR
Hi,
Rafael - I asked Lukas to help co-mentor your GSoC projects, including
the two sub-tasks we're currently discussing (JtR/cgminer integration
and Litecoin mining on Parallella boards). Unfortunately, I might not
have enough time myself.
Lukas - thank you for your help!
Lukas, Rafael -

I agree that the "AfterEnd" name is weird, and I'd like us to arrive at
a better name. However, as to using some final name that we won't need
to change, please note that we have yet to change more than just this
option name - we also need to introduce smarter logic for whether to
start mining after cracking. So maybe this option will need to change
from being a Boolean to being "minimum seconds since last keypress
required to start mining", and e.g. value -1 would disable mining (to be
documented in a nearby comment). Or maybe having two options is cleaner
(a Boolean and a number, even though the latter will only be used when
the Boolean is true). I am not sure.
Lukas, Rafael - I'll let you figure this out and decide on it on your own.
Thanks,
Alexander
