I've asked for this on stack-exchange as well.

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/42523/installation-troubles-compiling-from-source-code-on-a-mac-book-pro

I've tried to follow the instructions in /doc/build-osx.md

I installed the dependencies using Homebrew

brew install autoconf automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf qt5

Just to verify if I run this command again, I get the following:

Warning: autoconf-2.69 already installed
Warning: automake-1.15 already installed
Warning: berkeley-db4-4.8.30 already installed
Warning: libtool-2.4.6 already installed
Warning: boost-1.60.0_1 already installed
Warning: miniupnpc-1.9.20151008 already installed
Warning: openssl-1.0.2e_1 already installed
Warning: pkg-config-0.29 already installed
Warning: protobuf-2.6.1 already installed
Warning: qt5-5.5.1_2 already installed

I then run :

 ./autogen.sh

which is fine,

Then I run:

./configure --with-gui=qt5

And after a lot of lines of checking... I get, the following

...
checking miniupnpc/upnperrors.h presence... yes
checking for miniupnpc/upnperrors.h... yes
checking for main in -lminiupnpc... (cached) yes
configure: error: Qt dependencies not found

Any ideas what I could to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Look into the Factom project. I believe what they are doing will solve this problem.

I don't think that most people understand the implications of that 1 penny scarcity in terms of what it does to people. Debt is that first 100 pennies that needs to be returned but that extra penny is what starts putting injecting fear and desire FOR the money. NOT what that money will get you, but money itself.

If you want to understand why people who are multi-billionaires still want more money, then look at how interest affects desires at a macro level. If you want to understand why 4 million people went homeless when there was enough housing to provide shelter for everyone in the US, then again look at how interest affects our fears.

It's a pretty crazy system and I am so thankful that we have an alternative now. BITCOIN!

Hi,

I recently downloaded bitcoin from github and changed the settings to allow for rpc.

This is how I have it:

rpcallowip=192.168.0.*

Seems like this does not work anymore.

However when running bitcoind, it complains that:

'Error: Invalid -rpcallowip subnet specification: 192.168.0.*.

Valid are a single IP, a network/netmask or a network CIDR.'

I'm not that familiar with networking.

Can someone tell me what a valid network/netmask or network/CIDR is for all addresses that could be in 192.168.0.*

(My broadcast address if it matters is: 192.168.0.255 and mask is 255.255.255.0)

Thanks in advance.

No, they are just Neo(s) that have taken the red pill.

I would second that observation.

To be fair, I think he was talking about multisend.  Unfortunately, I haven't yet seen a mobile wallet that has multisend capabilities.  It seems to be often overlooked.

Saw this, just this morning on reddit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-CX-S8fq5A

From the video, it seems it has multisend capabilities.

I've asked this question on Reddit as well, and wanted to cross post this on this forum:

So, I've heard Nic Cary talk about how Blockchain is a company that does not have ANY bank accounts.

I have a few questions:
1. Where in the world should such a company be created/registered?

2. The company has to be structured so that it passes the 'legitimacy test' for companies like Coinvoice and others that will help the conversion of FIAT to BTC.
[I want the company to be able to invoice in BTC and if the customers pay in USD then do the invoicing through a company like coinvoice to handle the conversion, and perhaps a similar conversion for other FIAT currencies (EUR, INR, etc). ]

3. Has the simplest rules and formalities and the lowest tax burden in terms of operating an entity.

4. Any other things I need to be aware of or should consider.


Thanks for all your help and feedback in advance.

Beliathon:

You are one of the most well informed person I have come across on these boards and I sincerely enjoy reading your sources and all the information you provide.

Thanks again!

I'm liquidating all our real estate assets and am willing to accept 20% of the sale price in BTC.

The houses generate a gross rental income of $88,000/year and you could accept all of that from tenants in BTC (thus increasing the adoption and market for Bitcoins) 

Why just 20%? Well, the rest is owed to the banks in FIAT debt.

However, the earnest money for such a transaction can be 100% in BTC using a 2/3 multi-sig escrow contract. Of which 1 key would be kept by the closing attorney.

Here's more information on the properties.

I want to take the ideas by Thomas Greco (End of Money and Beginning of Civilization) and marry them to the ideas of the Satoshi Nakamoto's Blockchain protocol.

This particular proposal would bring together an ecosystem in which many

- Altcoins that allow for smart contracts,
- Meta Layers on top of Bitcoin (Mastercoin, Counterparty, Colored Coins, etc)
- and systems like Open Transactions

to speak a shared common language to create, discover and manage credit clearing on the Blockchain.

Below is a gist:
https://gist.github.com/kawalgrover/10342419

Also, here is a brief presentation talking about it.
http://prezi.com/vgrwz3nzvky-/ananda/

I would like to team up with other Bitcoin enthusiasts, developers, economists and see if there is any interest/viability in this project.

Most of the pieces we need to use are already there. Just bring this together.

If interested, just respond to this. I am currently travelling with patchy access. But would love to connect with people who are interested in this.

Basically, the idea is to build some proof of concept on one or more altcoin or preferably on the OT Server or even Mastercoin or Counterparty to see if it works and encourage the developers of their own ecosystems to just follow a certain specification that can then allow for easy discoverability and interoperability of these mutual credit clearing contracts.

"The Bitcoin actually has the balance and incentives right, and that is why it is starting to take off." Julian Assange.

I feel this proposal brings the incentives for a lot of people on the Crypto-currency ecosystem in a fairly well balanced manner (alt coins, Meta Layers on Bitcoin and Bitcoin itself and even perhaps Side Chains when we have more information on them.

I am not a hardcore low level developer and its taken me a lot of time just to wrap my head around the basics but I would HIGHLY appreciate any valuable input from developers here.

- Peace.

Here is a link that a user on these forums shared.

I think this guy does a stellar job in explaining why those dollars that they have pumped haven't been in the market. Over 81% of it sits with the Fed collecting interest for the banks that were bailed out in the first place. Crazy.

Thanks Beliathon. And thank you for sharing that link. That was some awesome and scary insight.

Thanks CoinRocka. I'm sure the day traders are serving some purpose. More people know about Bitcoin because of them.

But I'm more excited about all these 'DAC', 'DAO' and 'DAPPs' as they call them.

The more people interact directly, the faster we start fixing our own issues.

Huh?

Let me explain. You see, those smarty pants cryptographers like to use the symbol ‘≡‘ for saying “Is congruent to”.

Namaste is an acknowledgement to your soul from mine. Direct. With Existence itself as the witness to that acknowledgement. To you from me.

Bitcoin is very similar to that. Its a transfer of a token to you from me. Direct. Without relying on a third party.

Direct. To you from me. Without a third party!

So, whats the big deal?

Well. You know how abundant breath is and yet most people take it a little too much for granted. Spend some time with some yogis and you realize how important the significance of that breath is.

Just like the breath which we never question, we don’t pay much attention to our daily interactions with each other. All these interactions for the most part are governed through a medium we all have come to love and call ‘money’. Most of the times it’s issued by the state (or banking structures of your country) and how it works is usually not taught in schools or colleges. Its just left out. Its significance is not questioned or wondered for the most part.

And just like the breath pervades its energy into your very being, money pervades into all aspects of our society. This hidden energy affects us in more ways than you can imagine.

And though the US Internal Revenenue Service calls it an asset. Fincen calls it a ‘virtual currency’. Germany treats it like a ‘private money’. And there are many many more interpretations of it. Its much much much more than that.

Bitcoin is a protocol. Just like the TCP/IP (on which the internet is built) is a protocol. In the early stages of internet, it was just used to share static documents in plain HTML mostly by professors and people in academic circles. That is where Bitcoin is today.

But soon. Very soon, we’ll see some of the first distributed applications built on top of this protocol coming out. And just like Javascript, AJAX and various other Web 2.0 technologies transformed the internet to where it is today, we’re about to see a radical transformation in the arena of financial products.

If you haven’t heard of Bitcoin yet, or are still waiting on the sidelines, I suggest you start to get to know it. Its about to rock your world (for the better)!

Bow your head to it and wish it NaMasTe.

From the bitcoin wiki:

// Why base-58 instead of standard base-64 encoding?
// - Don't want 0OIl characters that look the same in some fonts and
//      could be used to create visually identical looking account numbers.
// - A string with non-alphanumeric characters is not as easily accepted as an account number.
// - E-mail usually won't line-break if there's no punctuation to break at.
// - Doubleclicking selects the whole number as one word if it's all alphanumeric.

It would be a good idea to put these instructions in the README on github. Will save non-nodejs people like me some time.

But that aside, thank you! This tool is aWeSoMe!!

Hello, I would like to check this out as well. I'm very interested in Smart Properties and would like to help out in any way I can.

Thanks,

I really thought about this ... and my answer is either:

1. $0 -- Oh shit, they figured out something so terribly wrong that we can't even roll back to some earlier version (the probability of this is so negligible that I don't even worry about it)

2. $10,000 -- Oh shit, we didn't innovate technologies using the Blockchain fast enough and hyperinflation is here now (judging by how fast things are moving ... ethereum, bitcongress, NXT, Mastercoin, ColoredCoin, OpenTransactions, BitMessage, Protoshares and so much else)... I'm getting less worried about this option as well.

Our fundamental economics are totally screwed up. How interest, fractional reserve banking and various debt instruments that create "units" of value out of thin air and then use that power to usurp control leads to a lot of mismanagement/allocation of resources.

The Blockchain fixes some of the inherent corrupt practices of our monetary system.

Its not about making things 'equal' as in resource distribution. But more as in 'equal access' to capital so that whoever wants to sell something and as long as there is someone to buy it, then you create a free market. A removal of the middle man will allow much more friction-less transactions. In that kind of a decentralized world, capital will find the best uses through open decentralized exchanges. Some people may value wars more, some removing poverty. The idea of how to allocate resources won't be decided by a few bankers, but by a more open decentralized, freer and a more democratic society.

Amir was alluding to these issues. And given the constraints, I think he did a pretty good job.
