This is often bundled with ruby, but not always.
No more warnings, yay.

macos is disabled for now, as it's crashy, as per patch trigger.
LibreSSL uses a mostly OpenSSL 1.0.1 compatible API, with the alarmingly notable exception of the version API. When the library is loaded on macOS with LibreSSL the verison check introduced in lian#42 the gem was incompatible with LibreSSL. This change may not be ideally forward-compatible if APIs change and may need a new strategy eventually, but is not noticeably weaker than the version based strategy. It is notably functional on both macOS with LibreSSL 2.8.3, as well as remaining compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.1f on Ubuntu.

On macOS the library load is handled in a specific and incompatible way, which is handled by the extension. As the gem uses the extension elsewhere, taking a direct dependency on that, and looking up symbols from in-process should be safe and sufficient.

is this going to be merged? @lian |
|
I mailed @lian last year, I'm not sure if they're still around. I recently reached out to Penelope who is the other owner of the gems on rubygems.org to see if they'd provide me release rights. I've not received a response from them yet either, so once I've waited a little longer I may start the process with rubygems.org directly. |

hey, i could merge this and release a new gem version. but this library is stale and didn't receive any bitcoin (or any coin) related protocol/feature updates since 2018/2019. how is this code still useful for you guys? |
|
@lian Any progress is better than no progress? :) Easier to build on top of a working version. |
Its basically the only ruby library that can make and sign txns that I found, and it seems to work fine, and I have pushed several txns to the network that were made by this gem and they worked fine. |
This is a dependency for hive-ruby: |
