I don't pretend to speak on behalf of anyone, but I've done a certain amount of work for jl777 on both Teleport and SuperNET documentation.
I'm not a dev, I'm a writer, and I understand them both pretty well. They are both excellent ideas. They are very simple in theory - elegantly simple, in fact.
There is a lot of complexity to get through to reach that simplicity, though
If you have specific questions, please ask them. Better still head over to the SuperNET forum and ask there, as I won't have lots of time to answer stuff here. There will be other folks who can help out there. There's also a SuperNET thread here, though mostly it's pretty quiet as everyone left for the SuperNET forum after some rabid trolls made it impossible to get anything done.

That directory doesn't seem to exist.
Edit: found hidden file with ls -a
Steep learning curve for me today.

Making slow progress. Compiled ok but asking for BitcoinDark.conf
I created the file using pico BitcoinDark.conf and pasted in the text in OP, substituting the rpcuser= and rpcpassword= with the ones it suggested. Also changed permissions to 700 as recommended. Next time around, I got the same message.

Edit: wrong directory first time. Then put it in one back from src. Still no luck.

Thanks. Why do I need to do that but you didn't?
That looks like it's compiled now. Thanks for your help. Will look forward to playing with it now.

Thanks crackfoo, will give that a go when I've eventually got this compiled. Another error for now:

opening dependency file obj/zerocoin/Accumulator.d: No such file or directory

Thanks, trying it now.

My linux machine is in a small room off my young daughter's room, so I can't really use it after she's asleep. While I have your tech support here, is there an easy way to connect to it from my (Windows 7) laptop, so I can play with the daemon at night?

Something seems to be happening...
Taking its time and it looked like there might have been an error message along the way.


fatal error: miniupnpc/miniwget.h: No such file or directory
#include <miniupnpc/miniwget.h>

No, same problem with me. Thanks for trying.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Haha, thanks. James said this would be 'relatively painless'.

Thanks, appreciate it. Doing it now, so far so good...
This is all another language to me. This will make for good documentation though.

Edit: Er, where is it? I installed the dependencies and downloaded the source, all ok. But I can't see the bitcoindark directory.
Edit edit: turned out I didn't have git installed, so that fixed it. But what am I making? "No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."

I'm trying to put together some documentation for the SuperNET API and, as James says, the best way to learn about it is to play with it.
I've got Ubuntu freshly installed on an old computer but linux isn't something I've used much before. Is there a (hopefully very basic) guide to downloading the BTCD daemon so I can tinker with some API calls?

SuperNET forum is down. Anyone else having problems?

You are welcome
Do swing by the SN forum if you haven't already, it's all hands on deck.

That's right. All go to your NXT wallet.
Nice to see some new NXTers around

Not secrets. Just everything at the right time.
NB I don't know what the ANNs are either!

If the NXT is burning a hole in your wallet I've heard something interesting might be announced later for BBR. Otherwise, there are so many announcements that it might be wise to keep some in reserve.

Hey CECVW! Good to see you back.
MGW is the Multigateway, a distributed (near trustless) crypto trading exchange.
You send you coins to the address you're given in the MGW plug in for NXT wallet. It's exchanged for tokens (mgwBTC = BTC tokens, mgwBTCD = BTCD tokens) which you can then trade against NXT. You can then withdraw your tokens, so they are converted back to crypto and sent to their native wallets.

Edit: MGW is also the MGW asset. You can buy shares in this and get paid a proportion of transaction fees. Not sure how the maths adds up or what volumes make that an attractive investment, though.

Pretty sure no one owns more than 50 million.
http://charts.nxtcrypto.org/cDistribution.aspx for distribution. There's a better one somewhere that shows top 100/1000 accounts, but I can't find it for some reason.
Distribution is just one of those things with NXT. It's actually kind of crazy, since none of the big stakeholders can sell and make millions without far greater adoption anyway. They just create selling pressure that keeps the price down, so if you believe the tech is going somewhere, you can still get in cheaply now.

Edit: distribution is improving, but it's hard to tell. Look at SuperNET: tens of millions of NXT in the same account. But some belonged to whales whose accounts are now smaller. This is why SuperNET and other successful assets are critically important to the success of the whole NXT ecosystem.

Well, you just helped distribution
