It must be a hacked account. I cant think that a full member would throw his name and rep away like this with such a poor attempt at a coin.

if this kind of stuff bothered bitcointalk there wouldnt be a section of the forum for selling accounts

What happened to Shadowrunner being first?

His account was compromised after the socialhack of the bitcointalk server. He tweeted shortly after the forum came back up not to trust his account as he no longer had access to it.

Be careful to trust a member with a high activity a lot of accounts may be compromised/stolen.... Ideal to create false trust for a fake dev.

I think there is a section where its tolerated, but I don't think there is a section specifically for selling accounts

Here is the Raspberry Pi wallet for v0.8.6-18 - for both the Qt and headless daemon (command line) - UPNP enabled. It is possible to solo mine with this wallet if you want to.

Important:
1) Always backup your wallet.dat first before you do anything
2) The wallet was built on a Raspberry Pi2 (ARM7) running Raspbian Wheezy.
3) Installation directory where the binaries are installed is ~/opt/metrocoin or /home/pi/opt/metrocoin
4) All that is needed is to execute the command below on your Pi in a terminal window and afterwards you need to click on the Metrocoin icon on your desktop to launch the Qt wallet or go to the directory with the wallets and run the daemon (metrocoind) with the options you want at the command prompt or in a terminal window
5) An Internet connection is required for the installation
6) A bootstrap.dat is used to fast track the blockchain sync - up to block 20386
7) The bootstrap.dat also works for Windows wallets. For your convenience I have included a direct link below to an untarred bootstrap.dat to make it easy for the Windows users. Windows users just have to copy the bootstrap.dat file into their c\users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\metrocoin folder and run the Win client again
8.) You need at least an 8GB memory card
9) The installation itself takes about 30-45min on an out-of-the-box Pi
10) You cannot just download the binaries, you have to run the script to get the dependencies as well else it will not run
11) The installation script does not enable the UFW firewall by default. If you want to enable it, uncomment the UFW lines in the script and add the port you want open and run it again or enable it manually by running the UFW commands as in the script with the correct port numbers.
12) Always verify the checksums when you download files to make sure it was downloaded ok. To verify the checksums on your Pi, go to the ~/opt/metrocoin folder and execute sha256sum <filename> and md5sum <filename> and compare the values with the values in the checksums.txt file

Users will be familiar with the Qt wallet as it works like a Qt wallet in Windows. Instructions to use the headless command line daemon wallet:

1) Since you the installation script created a metrocoin.conf file with the startup settings in it, go to the folder with the binaries ~/opt/metrocoin and enter ./metrocoind in a terminal window to start the server
2) After the blockchain has been imported you can enter the normal wallet commands that you would as in a Windows debug console preceded with ./metrocoind eg. ./metrocoind getinfo
3) Remember to always make a backup of your wallet.dat file before you do anything like encrypting it
4) To encrypt your wallet run the command ./metrocoind encryptwallet <yourpassword>

Let me know about any issues that you may encounter.

To kickstart the installation execute the following command at the command prompt or in a terminal window on your Pi:
Code:
wget https://bitbucket.org/jc12345/metrocoin/downloads/metrocoin_installation_pi.sh && chmod +x metrocoin_installation_pi.sh && ./metrocoin_installation_pi.sh && rm -f metrocoin_installation_pi.sh

Make a metrocoin.conf file rather and put this in there:

Code:
rpcuser=yourminerUID
rpcpassword=yourminerPWD
rpcallowip = 127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your miners IP address)
rpcport = 7554
server = 1
daemon = 1
listen=1
addnode=metro.treefunder.co

You can use

45.63.1.27

Diff at 77k and blocks at 20511. If you are going to solo mine, as soon as you find a block it will jump to current.

  during the initial sync.
  Hence it is recommended to use a 64-bit executable if possible.
  A 64-bit executable for Windows is planned for 0.9.
