🗒️ Conversation Summary: A proposal to simplify the internal reference miner by removing dependencies on cryptopp and the getwork "midstate" field is being discussed. A pull request has been made to deprecate midstate and hash1 in Bitcoin's code to remove dependencies on cryptopp. BitcoinJS plans to remove dependencies on cryptopp and use OpenSSL to calculate midstate. The original CPU miner for Bitcoin didn't use any libraries like OpenSSL.
