What's the golden path to compile bitcoin-qt? I've tried using Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04.2, and tried installing all of the dependencies - in most cases many of the dependencies aren't present, so I've downloaded and built them as well. I never can quite get bitcoin-qt to compile without running into errors. Before I try to debug any specific setup, what's the most recommended Unix version for me to grab, and where's the best place to get any dependencies it doesn't come with? Alternatively, is OSX any more plug-and-play?

Are you excited about bitcoin?

If you want to be part of a team dedicated to building some groundbreaking products centered around bitcoin, you have come to the right place. We are offering fully competitive salaries (paid in bitcoin or local fiat) depending on experience level. We are a young company with a much bigger vision, and want you to be a part of it.

The primary roles we are seeking to fill right now are as follows:

PHP Developer
We're looking for a PHP Backend Web Developer to help create the core of our products.

Languages: PHP/MySQL/JS

SVN/Git Experience
Currently we use both SVN / Git for a couple different projects, and you will be using this to check in all of your code.

HTML/CSS/JS
It would be great if you are a strong front end developer, but not a requirement as we have a good source for this already.


User Experience Designer
We are seeking a talented UX designer to build the future of bitcoin with us. There is some serious opportunity to improve the usability, and we want to work together with you to make it happen.

Must have some showcase of application style design with strong focus on user experience.


If you are interested in either of these positions, please contact me at jay [at] spendbitcoins.com

As interesting as this concept is, I agree with the above posts that state not to store your bitcoins on the exchange. In this turbulent young stage of bitcoin, i'd advise that anything you want to hold on to for the long term be Cold stored: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Cold_storage.

For a short term 10 day lock, just send bitcoins to a client on your own computer and back up the file.

There's not a ton of benefit for the exchange to do this since you have these other options at your disposal, but they would in turn take on a lot of customer support tickets for people who want to unlock wallets in panic days, etc.

This feedback is great, thanks a ton.

Ironic timing to be posting this up, but we just produced a new video and want to know what you think? Let us know and pass it on to newcomers to see what they have to say.

It really depends on your vision as people have stated.

If I were planning to build a tripadvisor competitor, I'd probably start with a million dollars or so, only half of which is development, the other 1/2 is for marketing because it'd be a really brutal space to compete in. I wouldn't expect anything of decent quality for less than $40k, but personally I don't think it's worth doing anything unless it's done right and that's going to be $100-$200k. You need a good CFO, at least 1 really good coder, a web designer, support staff, etc. You won't be profitable day one and have to plan to maintain this staff for a year or so while getting to break even. Realistically, you're going to need many millions to compete in the space, so this would just be a good proof of concept seed stage.

On the other hand, maybe you don't really mean that you want it to be just like trip advisor.. maybe you could get away with a $20 template of themeforest. You're going to have to write out a full detailed document and draw out some basic wireframes to get a real quote. It'll range highly, but don't go for cheap -- it'll just end in disappointment 90% of the time.

I couldnt get nohup or others to work -- I'd love to get it so I can start/stop in shell..
The cron worked okay.. Any hints on how I'd go about checking if its running before trying to execute it though?

When I start bitcoind through SSH on my CentOS box it just goes to the next line and does nothing. If I run another connection through SSH I can start issuing bitcoind commands no problem.
If I close the first Shell - bitcoind shuts down..

This is weird to me because on my ubuntu box this doesnt happen.. it just says bitcoind starting and keeps running even if i close the shell..

Any ideas on this?

This is actually a lot more difficult than it appears - they shut off cards and are really rude when you load just a couple thousand in a day. After they shut off a card, you can't apply for another card with the same SS# - ever.

I'd vote for backing gold with bitcoin instead.
Bitcoin is transparent and has a controlled scarcity, whereas gold was a good short term solution that doesn't have either of these advantages. What would happen if we found out that 90% of the earth's core was made of gold and we had machines to mine it? I am exaggerating of course, but I do know that people still find large sums of gold today.
I am unaware of a major governmental currency that is still really backed by gold (there very well might be, but I am more aware of fractional reserve as the primary method) - so why should bitcoin be?

It looks like I fixed it. I had a cron job looking up all of the 0 confirmation orders every minute, and it just taxed the system too hard.
Thanks

All commands I use:

getaccountaddress
getbalance
sendtoaddress
listrecievedbyaddress

I didn't write that name, the site admin changed it as per request and typo'd..

its 0.6.2 and mostly getting addresses, sending coins to an address and getting the balance.

I just noticed also that the CPU is at 92% on the bitcoind process

I have bitcoind running on my ubuntu web host and it crashes every half hour or so. I'm not sure what is causing it but I just found an error that shows in SSH when it occurs:

*****************
EXCEPTION: N5boost21thread_resourc_errorR
boost::thread_resource_error
bitcoin in ThreadRPCServer()

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::thread_resource_error'
 what():   boost:thread_resource_error                /path/to/bitcoind


Any ideas why this would happen?
