Just made a couple of changes to the multi-signature GUI... essentially sanity testing to make sure that any pubkeys that you enter as part of the multisig transactions are valid addresses. Next I will be integrating custom M-of-N multisig transactions (upper limit: 15 of 20) into the GUI. From what I understand, 15 of 20 is the scripting constraint... feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

After that, I'll finally add into the GUI the ability to create transactions offline, signing and broadcasting at the click of a few buttons.

I'm going to setup a VPS and test.

Please do Amir, I can't broadcast transactions on sx because of this problem... it's the last thing I need to implement on the sx GUI.

This is where the sx GUI is up to:



Edit: Grammar... it was late at night.

Hi folks,

  • I've created a simple GUI for SX using Zenity that you can find: https://github.com/spesmilo/sx/tree/master/tools
  • The README.md has some detailed instructions for installing SX and some other dependencies if you want to do stealth addresses.
  • My plan is to add all of the major functions of SX into this simple GUI... so far I've done stealth addresses and creating 2/3 multisignature addresses.
  • Definitely more work to be done!

Here is a screenshot:

fixed.

Installation was smooth but the error remains:

Code:
root@sx:~# sx fetch-last-height
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_construct null not valid

In the meanwhile I was able to set up a working sx with the following script:

https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/install-msc/blob/master/res/install-sx.sh

Which seems to use the following commits:

https://github.com/spesmilo/libwallet/commit/21447cc
https://github.com/spesmilo/libbitcoin/commit/335489f
https://github.com/spesmilo/obelisk/commit/58f326d
https://github.com/spesmilo/sx/commit/a97f7be

I've had the same problem. Latest version of Ubuntu.
