Sorry to bother you guys with all this, i'm just missing something probably. Anyway : if i change to the directory ~/electrum that was created when i git cloned, and i give "./electrum" its working fine. In this directory there indeed a subdir called "lib". My problem is that electrum doesnt seem to be correctly installed system wide. That is if i execute simply the command electrum in a shell or if i try the GUI icon of electrum in Gnome3. Tachikoma asked me before about /usr/local/bin/electrum. So this is the output : ls -l /usr/local/bin/electrum -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 24542 Nov 23 13:08 /usr/local/bin/electrum

python Python 2.7.3rc2 (default, Apr 22 2012, 22:30:17) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import electrum >>> electrum.version.ELECTRUM_VERSION '1.5.1'
|

Is /usr/local/bin/electrum a symlink and if so, where does it link to?
Did you install the initial version via git as well or via pip?
no it's not a link. Should i link it to the electrum that i execute from the source directory? Initial version was installed via git as well.

Then the only logical conclusion is that the "sudo python setup.py install" command failed.
# python setup.py install Including all files [b]/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires' warnings.warn(msg)[/b] running install running build running build_py running build_scripts running install_lib running install_scripts changing mode of /usr/local/bin/electrum to 755 running install_data running install_egg_info Removing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Electrum-1.5.1.egg-info Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Electrum-1.5.1.egg-info

Does it run if you issue ./electrum from the source folder?
yes. works just fine.
|
|
|
right. i did "sudo python setup.py install" but as i wrote before i get this : electrum Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/electrum", line 145, in <module> set_verbosity(options.verbose) NameError: name 'set_verbosity' is not defined

I'm using debian. Installing gettext made the trick. Thanks.
How may i install it system wide, so as not to give ./electrum in the source folder?

I've installed version 1.0 with the git and compiling method. How may i upgrade to 1.5.1 now? Edit : Actually i used git pull git://github.com/spesmilo/electrum.git and then followed the procedure according to site. So i get these : python mki18n.py xgettext -s --no-wrap -f app.fil --output=locale/messages.pot sh: 1: xgettext: not found Traceback (most recent call last): File "mki18n.py", line 41, in <module> f = open(os.path.join('locale', 'messages.pot'),'r') IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'locale/messages.pot'
and electrum Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/electrum", line 145, in <module> set_verbosity(options.verbose) NameError: name 'set_verbosity' is not defined

Which bitcoin address is this? I had plenty deposit addresses in glbse
|
|
|
I had 3 shares on glbse but haven't claimed any. I've been some time offline, not able to check the forum in depth. So, how am i suppose to prove that i am tha shareholder? Or i am just too late?
|
|
|
When i lookup the BTC address on Blockchain.info, it seems that this BTC adddress didnt excist before 22 okt 2012 (16.32 hour, Amsterdam Timezone, or 14.32 GMT), and that must be right if its generated by BitVPS's website.
How can you check when a bitcoin address was created??

go go go, we must have this raffle ended before christmas!

You can also try bitcoin-otc.com and #bitcoin-otc on Freenode IRC
|
|

and what's the purpose of that?

This piece was recently sent to me by “an old radical.” The message is perhaps a bit harsh, but I have to admit, all I can do is grimace and nod in agreement to this thesis… “Bitcoin and state banking systems are born enemies: only one can survive. If you are imagining that they can peacefully coexist, you are fooling yourself.”
I was a radical before most of you Bitcoin users were born. That doesn’t make me any better than you (hopefully I did a few things to make you better than myself), but it does give me a better perspective; time just works that way.
I’ve been watching the recent developments in the Bitcoin markets, and having seen this drama before (too many times), I thought I’d pass along a lesson. This will strike its target in some of you, but others of you are also likely to reject it, because it doesn’t match what you want to be true.
Here’s the lesson: Trying to go ‘legit’ will destroy the Bitcoin market.
For those of you who haven’t turned away, I’ll explain:
There’s nothing really wrong with Bitcoin itself. The developers are doing a nice job of addressing its problems and a heartening number of people have jumped up to create new tools and new services. No problem here.
The problem is that too many people in the Bitcoin market are thinking the old way.
Understand this: Bitcoin is a new thing – it is not compatible with the old financial system.
Bitcoin and state banking systems are born enemies: only one can survive. If you are imagining that they can peacefully coexist, you are fooling yourself.
Bitcoin exposes the fraud that is state banking. If you think that politicians and bankers will calmly allow it to take over a significant percentage of world financial flows, you’re in denial. States will come after Bitcoin, and hard. They have no choice. Their money can only exist if there are no competitors.
Alan Greenspan may have done a lot of bad things, but he is not stupid. And before his adventures at the Fed, he wrote this:
(Under a fiat system), there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation… If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold.
What gold was then, Bitcoin is now… times five.
So, let me try this again: Going legit gives the state a handle to grab you with. ‘Legit’ means registered and regulated, doesn’t it? You have to tell them your name, where you live, and where you put your money, right? It means that they can control you whenever they want to.
There are two big reasons why Bitcoin people are tempted to go ‘legit’:
They want to get mega-rich fast, like Mark Zuckerberg. They have been trained to be obedient and can’t unlearn it. They are compelled to believe that the government is basically good. It must just be one bad politician or one bad law.
#2 is what destroyed e-gold, and it looks like #1 is what killed GLBSE.
Because of GLBSE, Bitcoin is now being regarded as a currency and states will start to regulate it as one. That means that they’ll attack the public exchangers and force everyone possible to comply with their rules.
So… it’s time to man-up, or to crumble.
(Interestingly, there is often a larger percentage of women that “man-up” than men.)
Will you have the guts to do the right thing when the pressure is on? If yes, I applaud and honor you. If not, here are a few cheap excuses to use (after all, who wants to admit conditioning or cowardice):
Without the rule of law, everything would fall apart. Without regulation, criminals would destroy everything. Yes, regulation is coercive, but along with it comes a certain amount of public benefit! I got ripped off, and someone has to fix it! If I can’t sue someone, they can get away with ripping me off! We can’t get people to use Bitcoin unless it’s authorized. We need approval or we will forever remain a tiny market.
A significant number of Bitcoin people will say these things (and others), but the real truth will be that they are scared, or are still hoping to get mega-rich, or just can’t rip the “government is our friend” meme out of their heads. But mostly it will be fear.
We all feel fear of course, but some of us are determined enough to do the right thing, even when we’re afraid.
So, here’s a final tip: If you run into someone who can feel the fear and still do the right thing, don’t let go of them.
