Unarchive the repository to let community easily contribute to ntHash

Hi @vlad0x00, lets unarchive ntHash repo to avoid confusion. People in the community will be contributing to this repo.

Answer 1 · 2021-09-17T19:13:10.000Z

it's a good idea to automatically sync between btllib and nthash rather than have the development be done there.

Answer 2 · 2021-09-17T19:37:52.000Z

Automatic syncing might not be trivial, though, since btllib nthash code has been changed to fit the style guidelines and has been made less verbove/slighty modified. I could perhaps sync this repo with the btllib version, if you think that's a good idea.

it's better to have ntHash as the main upstream repo and sync btllib or any other repo with it.

ntHash repo has a lot of extra files that would bloat btllib (e.g. different build system, tests (which are done differently), dependencies like BloomFilter that are different from the one in btllib). One thing we could do, though, that's a bit extra work, is to unarchive this repo and simply copy any functionality users contribute here to btllib.
