To reduce ram usage. Now we run the code There are 4 main aspect to this codebase: coof-node.py: The server that syncs and validates blockchains, needed for mining and infecting coof-wallet-api.py: The wallet api, also provides a basic cli interface to send transactions. Needs to connect to a public node or a local coof-node coof-wallet-gui.py: The gui using pygame, requires coof-wallet-api to be running coof-miner.py: The cli solominer for coinfection, requires a local coof-node or a public node.

We use a modified major breaking minor version system. the first digit is major, he second is breaking and the third is minor. All minor releases should be backwards compatible. breaking releases may or may not need a hard fork and major releases are mandatory (will result in a local chain split if you do not upgrade) and require at least 2 weeks before the fork date. EG: ver 402 is version 4.0.2. Please ensure you update the config.py and forks.py with the version.
