Hi,

I've never created a port before this but I believe I've created a proper port for monero
(https://github.com/monero-project/monero/).
I say believe because while it's working for me, I've not yet tested it on a completely fresh install of OpenBSD. Every OpenBSD computer I have has some software installed so it's possible I may have made some mistakes with omitting or including extraneous dependencies. Nonetheless it has worked to compile Monero. I will attach the port as it is so far for feedback.

Also, I want to know what the standard is for creating service files. The Monero project themselves do not package for OpenBSD so they don't provide any rc script. In that case is it standard to omit providing one at all? Or should a default one be written?

Regards,
Andrew Kloet
