Title: libbitcoin / SX tools / Has anyone got this to work? Post by: greBit on September 13, 2013, 12:59:55 PM I am trying to use libbitcoin and the SX command line tools on Ubuntu 12.04. I would just like to be able to query the balance of an address using `sx balance 1...` instead of having to go through blockchain.info.
But so far im making no progress. Everything seems to fail pretty much silently, with zero debug output. I am pretty sure I need to somehow tell libbitcoin how it should interface with the blockchain ... But how do I do this? I have tried doing 'sx initchain` on my bitcoin-qt blockchain directory. I have tried the `download-blockchain.sh` script which simply fails to authenticate while trying to rsync the blockchain from 46.4.92.107 Any help much appreciated!

http://libbitcoin.dyne.org/obelisk-setup.html But you can also use a public Obelisk server as listed here: http://libbitcoin.dyne.org/servers.html (some might be down but after the crowd funding we are going to setup some nice stable servers for people) The config file for sx is in PREFIX/share/sx/sx.cfg. Copy this to ~/.sx.cfg (PREFIX is usually /usr/local/share/) You can install sx, obelisk and everything using: wget http://sx.dyne.org/install-sx.sh sudo bash install-sx.sh |
