Many people need or want to build go-ethereum from the git repository,
mostly to stay up to date with recent changes. We cannot expect that
people without Go experience grok the Go workspace concept.
With the Makefile, building from github requires only
three steps (provided that a Go toolchain is installed):
- git clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
- ... install C libraries (libgmp, etc.) ...
- make
* Add new generic key_store interface
* Add new plaintext key store storing unprotected keys on disk
* Add new encrypted key store storing encrypted keys on disk
* Add new entropy mixing function using OS and go runtime sources
