I am naughty and should clarify. =C2=A0I had ass.u.me.d that Jeff'= ;s patch
also removed the internal CPU miner, because doing so is necessary for
actually getting rid of most of the getwork code. It doesn't actually.<= br>
Though this doesn't change the fact that the internal miner is mostly a pretext for integrated mining. =C2=A0Since it only really works on
testnet it also means our testnet testing using it is not a good test
of the actual production software. =C2=A0I'd rather remove the internal=
miner too, getting rid of the extra code and complexity, and package
up a GBT miner which would actually be usable on the mainnet.
