Hi Cryptoslave

You're welcome to put the tutorial on how to set up a Flash drive USB wallet on the Wiki.  Please take, improve and modify as you wish. http://www.docomputing.co.uk/running-the-anoncoin-wallet-on-a-flash-drive-usb/

Please check out my tutorial in setting up Anoncoin on a cold storage flash drive USB: http://www.docomputing.co.uk/running-the-anoncoin-wallet-on-a-flash-drive-usb/ .

I have also written about why Anoncoin will be a necessary tool in the fight for privacy here: http://www.docomputing.co.uk/what-is-so-important-about-privacy-on-the-internet-and-in-cryptocurrency/

Please let me know of any corrections I need to make or items I should add. Thanks

The order volume is incredibly low on Exchange i2p. I have tried to order a small amount of Anoncoin but the order is just sitting there and has been for over a day. Seems as though Cryptoslave is really giving this cryptocurrency value with his steady development. I don't know why people are not trading?

Anoncoin is up and running. Thanks Cryptoslave. The reindex did the job. My problem now is that I've left it running for 24 hours and it's still 2 weeks out of sync.

Just restarted and the wallet.dat was corrupt "salvage failed". Must have been hanging. I'll do a reindex. See if it works.

That did the job. No errors this time. I still get "Anoncoin running on clearnet". With no splash screen or GUI. Is it normal to have to wait over 24 hours to see a GUI as it builds the database?

Thanks for your help so far Cryptoslave.

I've tried various Ubuntu versions on an Intel i5 laptop, I'm now on Xubuntu 16.04 and still having no luck.

It looks like the source of the tar file has been deleted from Google and anoncoin.net. If I run "sudo protoc --version" it shows that I am running the correct protobuf (libprotoc 2.5.0) so I don't know why it's not using the native installed version.  The protobuf source that is called while in the /depends directory, and when using the make command is a source that is dead: "https://protobuf.googlecode.com/files/protobuf-2.5.0.tar.bz2" . I tried running "make -i" to ignore this error and move onto using the native protobuf that I installed from Github, but this does not create the GUI when running Anoncoin.

I tried using your instructions for starting Anoncoin without the toolchain, but all I get is "Anoncoin in running on clearnet" without the GUI or splashscreen appearing. Is there anyway of changing the file to change the Protobuf source or alternatively running the make command to source the protobuf from a pre installed directory?

Thanks for your help so far Cryptoslave

Okay it's because the Anoncoin library is setup for Intel so won't work on Raspberry Pi 1,2 or 3. SSE and SSE2 are Intel/AMD specific extensions that are not supported on ARM, ARM has it's own NEON SIMD extensions. It seems to me like I was trying to cross-compile a program for ARM and using the native Anoncoin g++ toolchain. Rasbpberry Pi seems to work in installing the bitcoin wallet because the Bitcoin library includes Arm support. Arm support sometime in the future possibly?

I've tried to install the linux wallet version on a rasberry pi and am getting the error after the make command: "make -j`nproc`"

It looks like the source of the tar file has been deleted from Google and anoncoin.net?

_{user-desktop:~/anoncoin/depends$ sudo make -j`nproc`
Fetching native_protobuf...

How can I get the make command to source the protobuf from a working source here https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v2.5.0/protobuf-2.5.0.tar.bz2 . I presume the wget url within the anoncoin qt setup needs to be modified.

Thanks for any help

I think I'll skip the Windows version testing and move to the Ubuntu version till this is resolved as I don't want to carry out a rebuild with every update. Thanks tomothy for the heads up 

I found an installation problem when installing the wallet on windows 8. It keeps crashing when the Anoncoin wallet is loading and the wallpaper screen appears: https://github.com/Anoncoin/anoncoin/issues/106

I have tried this version. Still no luck. I am using http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows Ubuntu running from USB as I want to be able to cold store my coins. The error message I get is when I try to use the command 'make' or 'make clean'. The error message is "make *** No targets specified and no makefile found." This is the problem with all my attempted installs. The problem arises when trying to 'make'

I'm not deviating from the commands. Everything works till I get to the command "make". Do you have any other ideas please?

Hi

I have tried 3 methods of getting the wallet working to no avail.
Tried
1) Installing from https://launchpad.net/~anoncoin/+archive/ubuntu/anoncoin (anoncoin-qt installs but no executable is available to click on)
2) Cloning from github using the terminal (The last command 'qmake' and 'make' did not work @no such file..)
3) Using qt creator to create an executable
                 error: /home/ubuntu/Downloads/anoncoin-master/src/allocators.h:10: error: boost/thread/mutex.hpp: No such file or directory
                #include <boost/thread/mutex.hpp>
                                  
Any help would be appreciated. I am a novice so struggling with the Ubuntu OS setup. Once I get it working I will create a video tutorial for lemons like myself.

Please keep it simple - for an amateur

Thanks
