Bitcoin Australia is running the First Ever! Melbourne Bitcoin Meetup.

Wednesday, 23 May 2012 at 18:45

The Location is finalized yet.  However it will be somewhere in the Melbourne CBD.

We are going to BassArt at E55 for the AfterParty!

Please visit the main thread on Bitcointalk.org for more info:

Ok the laws to 'legal age' are a bit strange in Victoria for bars.   In general, if it is a ‘bar’ you can enter, however they will ask ID when you buy a drink.

‘Clubs’ on the other-hand require you to present your ID at the door.  Even those sometimes have that ability for a minor to enter; they will give you a writs-band so you cannot by alcoholic drinks.

If we pick a venue that is like a 'bistro' then minors will have no issues.

So we of course are going to have the Melbourne Bitcoin Meet-Up Afterparty at BassArt!

Well It is going to be one hell of a night!

Ha ha... Well I need to be able to make it with my very limited Photoshop skills.   

I've nominally entered the time: 18:45 until 21:45
The venue will most probably be somewhere in the city… however it still needs to be confirmed/worked out.

Event-planned:

Make sure you use the Bitcoin-OTC... It is a Web of Trust for rating people after their transactions... Scammers very quickly get called out, and get negative ratings.

I’ve done many, many, trades, providing you do due-diligence in checking the trading history, before putting yourself at risk.
If you receive bitcoins you are generally not at risk...
If you are sending bitcoins you are at risk from scammers.

If you keep a level head, check before putting yourself at risk… use trusted 3rd parties as escrows, and overall don’t do anything too stupid… The life of a scammer will become quite unprofitable.

Remember quantum computers have a exponential engineering difficulty increase for every added qbit.

Building a quantum computer with 15 bit is (some factor above 1) harder than a 14bit one.
the thing that we are still working out is: "what is this factor."    

In the 'Java Paths' field you need to select where Java is going to look for the native libraries that contain all of the OT functions.

On Windows 32bit you should select:  ./Win32/Release/
On Windows 64bit you should select:  ./x64/Release/


The 'Password Image File' is a .png or .jpg file that you want stored in your OT local storage for your password image.  A password image is a file that loads up, unique to you, so you don't supply a password to the wrong dialogue by mistake.
Just select any Image file that you wish.

You will also need to copy the '.ot' directory to:  ./AppData/Roaming/  in the root of your user directory... Normal: C:\Users\(username)\


You will need to install the 32bit and 64bit version of java:

As well as the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Libaries:
Win32: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328
x64: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13523

Have tried making a simple All-In-One package for those who want to just try-out moneychanger on windows:

Please give me your comments!

Updated the Moneychanger Build.

I've decided to include both the Old and New packages in one archive this time.

New OT Build for Windows.  Both Win32 and x64 this time!

I have included the OpenSSL DLL's this time to make things a bit easier.
Next build I'm going to be upgrading my OpenSSL packages to 1.0.1a

New Moneychanger Builds incoming soon also!

I Shrug.

New Builds.

Ok... been testing my releases on other PC's been finding a few issues...

1.  If you do not have Visual Studio 2010 SP1 with the Windows SDK 7.1 installed, you will not be able to run any of the 'Debug' builds.
2.  For release builds you need to install:


Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328

and

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13523

(I have no idea why microsoft dosn't ship them with windows, but anyway...)

3.  You needed to have OpenSSL installed... however, with my new builds I'll ship the OpenSSL DLL's with it.

Ok... Updated the moneychanger builds again! Lets hope they have less issues this time!

 

well we already have my first fix... updated the moneychanger builds.

Tomorow I'll put a list of the know issues on the OP.

OUT OF DATE BUILDS - DO NOT USE!  -  Edit 30th October 2014


Open Transactions (commonly abbreviated OT) is a collection of tools that helps people create financial transactions.
Open Transactions is built around cryptographic messages.  Once can think it is as: ‘gpg-email for money’.

While Bitcoin provides a great way to transfer value between on identity to another; it doesn’t provide a good way to manage the ownership of real-things (such as hours worked, or the silver credits that your hold in your safe).

Moneychanger is our demonstration test-wallet (and if it becomes stable one could use it as their main wallet)… However for trivial amounts of value it should be ok.

If you are on a unix based system, the easiest way to get Open Transactions is to compile it yourself; please check-out our guides here:

OPEN TRANSACTIONS IS EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE
DO NOT USE THESE BUILDS FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF VALUE
FOR USE ONLY IN A DEDICATED TESTING ENVIRONMENT
NO WARRANTY IS INCLUDED, OR IMPLIED
