Thank you - I am most grateful for your replies.
It is reassuring to hear about Armory continuing. The machine I used in fact has not been run since I used Armory, for a long time now. I took a 'paper backup' at the time. I do not think I created a special offline wallet - is that what a watch-only-wallet is? My wallet is a normal wallet which ran online. I simply stopped using that machine. I trust the machine itself will still work anyway if I now run it as a computer. I guess that the Armory outdated software and the outdated bitcoin software will not operate successfully in today's environment?

I have used Armory wallet in the past and some value is stored in a (Ubuntu) machine which is currently unused. I would be most grateful for comments on how to proceed, because I see that this wallet is not currently under development (?). I hope it is possible to run the container machine and extract the value? TIA

Looks like all sorted ok now

rocketpool now say they are aware of problems

Mining for  maxcoin with rocketpool
maxcoind in terminal
now seeing reported 'Booooo' instead of previous 'Yay!'
also finding (UK) site
http://max.rocketpool.co.uk/
not coming up in web browser

Anyone contact rocketpool devs pls?

I think its gone down a bit now. Very bouncy once China woke up....

The maxcoin-qt gui wallet does not run on my PC (Ubuntu), will other wallets handle Maxcoin (such as armory, bitcoin-qt whatever)? Or is it essential to have only the one wallet maxcoin-qt?

I again tried using
https://github.com/Max-Coin/guides/blob/master/build-linux.md

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS does not seem to support miniupnpc ('troubleshooting' section)
so I went ahead and tried to build that as suggested. It seemed to go without errors, however
when the original 'Building on Linux' procedure was run again, then errors are still shown complaining of miniupnpc:
===========
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 libminiupnpc-dev : Depends: libminiupnpc8 (= 1.6-3ubuntu1) but 1.6-precise2 is to be installed
 qt-sdk : Depends: libqt4-opengl-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
===========

Note
I am using Ubuntu because I want a convenient pointy-clicky computing experience alternative to Windows or Apple, As an Ubuntu street level user, it is not realistic to consider anything other than a .deb, particularly for the average street level user. A lot of novices I know, use Ubuntu, they are not geeks in any way. But they would maybe use Maxcoin.........
I am more of a techie than that, but not much.

I have to conclude that the wallets cannot (at present) be run on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit, or Ubuntu 13.10 32bit.
As mentioned earlier, I somehow managed to get maxcoind running (and mining) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit, however, life with Maxcoins will be impractical unless I (and other people??) can get the gui wallet working!

Will other wallets work with Maxcoin? I could just dump maxcoin-qt??

Thinking of the growing coverage of Ubuntu use (China government, French also, Indian judiciary, whatever), phones also coming out soon, then Maxcoin convenient wallets in Ubuntu will be important, not least for Maxcoin. So If anyone can assist with the situation, please do?

Thanks for your response. However, the problem is that the executable will not run at all, apparently because of missing dependencies.
Your ref to qmake - relates to something other than the wallet? maybe to compile? My understanding is that the wallets for 32 and 64bit linux are not offered for compilation, but only as binaries(?)
eg
./maxcoind
or for gui
./maxcoin-qt

etc etc

when these executables are correctly invoked, I get errors, mostly referencing (what seems to be) a berkeley database .so however, even when the .so file is apparently available, the errors persist.

Thoughts?

I have tried with (32bit) both Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS current) and also Ubuntu 13.10 (current), and in both cases, maxcoind and maxcoin-qt refuse to run, and show errors. The errors initially complain such as
error while loading shared libraries: libdb_cxx-5.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
In one test I had a copy of the 'missing' file in the current directory, still the error. I also tried the maxcoin-qt (32bit) executable in an Ubuntu 64bit installation. No joy.
I conclude now that the Maxcoin-linux32 simply does not work for Ubuntu. I would love to know if anyone has better experience, and what to do.

I have an Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS current) 64bit installation also, and unfortunately I found the same problem showing for maxcoin-qt
Happily though, I found that maxcoind *did* work in this environment, and mining does seem to be running.
After the rather painful attempts variously trying to start up, I have to say I am not entirely sure I know what I did exactly to get maxcoind running in the 64bit machine :-/

I am a mining novice so being stuck with a terminal wallet is pretty uncomfortable, and unless I can find a way to run a gui wallet I will not be staying around maxcoin very long.
Are there any gui wallets other than maxcoind?

Comments would be appreciated. tia

I am new to mining, and I am having a modest go with maxcoin solo mining. It looks like it is working, which I am delighted about. I am using Ubuntu and maxcoind, and a configuration file was needed maxcoin.conf which I see contains seed addresses. Do seed addresses 'wear out' or get used up? Is it a lot better to have a lot more seed addresses?
Comments would be much appreciated
tia

maxcoin.conf
examples can be found in github files
also add some seed addresses too

with maxcoind  apparently running in the terminal
./maxcoind
(return)
[]


now what should I expect to see?? I get process running
maxcoind

but very little cpu or network action.
how to 'monitor' or assess progress?

it looks like I had to create, edit the config file for maxcoind incl password  but also the seed nodes?
from the example config file

seems to be missing
libdb_cxx-5.1.so
Where, how, do I get these in ubuntu pls?

not working on ubuntu 12.04 32 nor 64 bit for me

maxcoind and maxcoin-qt are not running at all???
ubuntu 32 bit and also 64 bit
any ideas pls? both marked as executable,

I am on ubuntu and this d/l looks sensible
https://github.com/Max-Coin/clients
(get the zip)
extract twice as needed and await password
(hope it is easy after that!)

Thank You!!
Been trying to compile and learn 2yeras 'nix in 30 minutes....

thanks, though still not working:
