Try deleting ~/.bitcoin (make sure you backup your wallet in ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat if you've used it!) and then reopen bitcoin-qt. I had that message when the blockchain download got interrupted on an old install.
unable rmdir ~/.bitcoin but rm * and rmdir all inside and now works ! THANKS ! You could have done 'rm -r ~/.bitcoin' I don't think I've ever even used 'rmdir' What version does the ppa install? .6 has some speed improvements for the initial blockchain download.
version installed 0.6, works much faster that MSWindows version, i don't know why... now i need to know how to copy my wallet to the directory...  You are very new to linux, aren't you?  |

You need the satoshi client to get the blockchain. So you will need either bitcoin-qt or bitcoind until the networking code is built into Armory. I was planning on using electrum since my HD space is somewhat limited.  If I can get that working I'll work on armory since the extra stuff it needs shouldn't be too hard. I don't think that electrum works like you think it does. Any reason you have to stick with Tiger? I'd recommend installing linux. It actually works with new software (and old hardware) and is much less of a hassle than building new software on an outdated architecture running an outdated OS. Well, I don't like monokernels . Not that OSX is really any better, although honestly I don't know much of shit about linux . I can barely use bash ^_^. That, and I'd hardly know what to look for in terms of even basic functionality. I know Mplayer and I could probably find an IM client, but for email I'd be screwed. You haven't touched linux in a while have you? All the modern desktop distros come with all of that stuff installed. Ubuntu is a simple install and everything is there for you. Word processing, e-mail, web browsing, cd/dvd burning, games, irc and IM, etc., etc. However, most modern desktop distros abandoned mainline support for PPC a while ago. Ubuntu moved PPC support to "unofficial" back at version 7, but there is a 10.04 build for PPC. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/releases/10.04/release/Compiling Armory in xubuntu 10.04 should be easy. It's new enough to have all the libraries you will need and there is a PPC build. There's even a PPA to install bitcoind and/or bitcoin-qt. Hopefully those work with the unofficial build. Otherwise, bitcoind isn't too bad too build from source. And if you are comparing difficulties with Tiger to the latest linux build, that isn't fair at all. I think trying to get Armory working in Ubuntu 5.04 (which was released about the same time Tiger was) would be a fair comparison and is probably just as much a PITA.
It'd probably be much easier and cheaper to upgrade from Ubuntu 5.04 to the latest on any hardware than to upgrade from Tiger to anything on PPC. Leopard is even more bloated than Tiger, and I'm only vaguely certain that I could upgrade that far. Even if I did even then I doubt this would be any easier since Qt doesn't support anything less than Snow Leopard. x.x I wasn't talking about the monetary cost. I was talking about the ease of compiling the code. |

i'm using LinuxMint-12-lisa a few days only, fully upgraded etc with ibm T40 laptop, installed bitcoin-qt as described http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2645/installing-bitcoin-on-ubuntusudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt bitcoin icon appeared to Application list and available to execute, but nothing happened after start. wallet picture appared Please help You say nothing happened, but then you say the wallet picture appeared. So which is it? Did the wallet picture appear and then disappear after a few minutes, or what? Maybe try launching bitcoin-qt from the command line so you can see some console output and then paste that here. |

I was just in the "Geek" section of this forum and I decided to throw out Bitcoin and i got alot of mixed responses, Makes me wonder how to make people listen... it seems people are really happy with worshiping their green dollars that has absolutely no backing at all...
Money is backed by the economy it is used in. Bitcoin is backed by the Bitcoin Economy. USD is backed by the American economy. Neither of these economies are "absolutely nothing." Also, the American economy is currently WAY LARGER than the bitcoin economy. Money doesn't need gold or some other arbitrary physical item to back it. That is a fallacy that people need to move past. |

I would like to ask, will multisignature extend any new technologies that can resist 51% attacks, or increase the cost of 51% attacks?
Multisig has nothing to do with 51% attacks. |

I just rechecked in ./config -h for QT4 again, and it looks like it's not going to work, period. I really did not want to have to install the satoshi client >_<. Maybe if I erase my HD and start over with Linux it'll work . Sad to say, I've been a mac user since before iPods existed, and now I would not ever buy a mac again after the retarded treatment I've gotten. Besides OpenCL, there's not a single thing new intel hardware can do that mine can't, and yet they drop all backward compatibility for OSX 10.5+? The fuck? I bet the latest linux build would compile just fine (on any hardware of my choosing, for that matter), and then I wouldn't have to jump through all these bullshit hoops just to get some random GUI kit to compile. 24 hours I'll never get back =\.

Please please please do not open Armory twice! All my super-fancy corruption-resistant, auto-error-correcting wallet files were *not* designed to be accessed simultaneously by two processes.
This is irony right? I can never remember what is irony and what is just sad and funny. Is it? The fancy anti-corruption features were intended to guarantee against corruption due to process crashes or power outtages. No matter what nano-second your computer loses power, your wallet will either not be corrupted, or will be automatically restored from a non-corrupt backup. And it's been pretty thoroughly tested. The thought never entered my mind that someone would have two instances of it open! (maybe I should've...) So you put in a bunch of code to protect the wallets from corruption, but if you open Armory twice, that fancy code can actually lead to corruption. I think irony is the right word. |

Ok I just spent the last !%#@#$%@#$@ 24 hours trying to compile (technically electrum, not that there's a huge difference) on my Tiger/PPC laptop. My conclusion is that it's most likely not possible, although technically not directly the fault of Armory or Electrum in particular, just that Qt is a POS that deserves never to be used ever again . In particular, after trying to @#%$@# compile Qt like 3 times now, it has failed Error 1 and Error 2 (after an excruciatingly long config and make process), no matter which way I configure it. At first I got some unrelated problems because it didn't like being dropped in a folder with a space in the name, but even after fixing that, using -universal and -sdk it gave me the same errors I got when it screwed up for other reasons (after it failed the first time I had to completely scrap the source folder because it decided to shuffle the makefiles all kinds of wrong and then make -confclean didn't work at all either due to the pathname issue). You should try using precompiled binaries (if they are available for an old system). On an unrelated note, I think homebrew is probably responsible for a lot of the inconsistencies people are seeing. I never was fond of MacPorts, and I had nothing but trouble trying to install homebrew (gave up on that).
It's a one-liner to install homebrew... What problem did you have? |

Right but it's the internet where you always lose, so by posting, deathandtaxes automatically lost even if he is right.
So then you lose... why did you bother posting? |

So if 593 shares were paid, shouldn't there be a bunch of shares available at 3.0 BTC? I must be missing something.
I hold 903 shares. This time I did not pay myself.  Contract says I can not sell more than 750 shares so at the most only 153 could be for sale. However I am not looking to sell my shares right now. Thanks. Oh. So where are the last 4 shares? 903+593=1496 |

1.5 is working for me, too.
When I registered the account, it told me my captcha failed, but it seems to have made my account anyways.

Thanks so much for the referrals. I can't decide what to get for my tier 3 champ. I have so many win IP boosts now lol.

I just grabbed my old 3GS. I've been looking forward to an easy-to-use, mobile wallet, and this looks like it. However, it opens and crashes then crashes instantly. I'm running 5.0. Luckily, I'm got an old bootrom 3GS and can jailbreak 5.1 untethered. Until I get that done, I'll just keep using the website. |

Well I can get Armory compiled on my Lion laptop, but no luck on my workstation.
However, it uses pretty much 100% CPU always and takes awhile to do anything. Since this is handling my money, I'd rather run Armory somewhere I know I can compile it consistently. I'm installing it in an xubuntu 10.04 desktop VirtualBox VM right now. Much simpler steps.
Once the blockchain finishes downloading, I'll test it out and compare CPU usage.
