I have been coding in Qt for the last week, and I love it! Qt is a C++ framework that I have been using to update my mining program, Crypto Extractor. Before Qt, I used Microsoft Visual Studio, which only supported Windows (big surprised). Now that I have switched over, I have been coding about 2-3 times faster, since Qt is so much easier to use and the Q function/classes are 10 times better than Microsoft’s. Currently I am updating one of the Bitcoin HTTP client/server classes, and it is so much easier, because of the functionality of Qt. It has a signal/slot feature, which make the functions asynchronous, which is awesome for a client/server. I should have the updated Crypto Extractor out sooner, than later. It will support a plethora of OSes. It will run on Windows, Linux, Mac, Embedded Linux, and Android. It will use CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs to mine for crypto-currencies, like Bitcoins and Litecoins. A new feature will have a client/server functionality built into the program, so all your mining rigs can be controlled by one computer. Then I plan on it be able to be controlled by a web server. So you can log into the main Crypto Extractor, and control all your mining devices, from anywhere that has internet connectivity. Also, I plan on making an Android and IPhone app that will do it too. After all this, I will have a lot of skills and learned a lot, and will have done a multi-platform GUI program, which will be an awesome achievement. Another cool thing is that I got Qt5 and Qt Creator 2.8 working on my Raspberry Pi. A Raspberry Pi is a $35 dollar computer, and many people use it to control their mining devices to mine crypto currencies. The Qt Creator is the GUI IDE for Qt, so getting it working on a small OpenGL ES system, was a lot of work. Also, I got the other small computer, called a BeagleBone Black. I plan on getting Qt and Qt Creator working on that too.
