I now have made working binaries of bytecoin-qt and bytecoind, and have a stream of consciousness .bash_history file.

Thanks

That's pretty handy.  I really need to read the docs again.

I have a successful build.
I do not have a solution to the libupnpc-dev problem.

I'll pay $2,000.  I prefer a batch #2 unit.

Do you have a working binary?

When a transaction mixes some stolen coins and other coins, the outputs have a certain % of dirt.  This is easy to calculate.

Then those coins, in turn, are used in a transaction, it is also easy to calculate what % of dirt in in those new outputs.

It should be trivial to build an application that can take a list of transaction ids that the user thinks are from illegal activity, and a list of (transaction IDs, output address) that are of interest, perhaps because they are unspent  transactions in a customer's wallet.

The algorithm is pretty simple.  Trace the "not inputs" back until everything is a generation block, or one of the dirty transactions.  Then walk back forward until you are at a transaction ID on the list that is being examined.

This looks pretty good.  There is still one apparently well known problem. 

On my system, I have the directory path /etc/apt/preferences.d/.  This directory is empty.  I am assuming that this is where the file should go that is mentioned in the answer linked above.  What should that file name be, and should that fix be applied?

Oh my, my mouse button bounced.  This should compile bytecoin-qt to be accepted.  Execution of bytecoin-qt in my 12.04 virtual box is my acceptance criteria.

I want an environment to compile bytecoin (BTE) under Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin).  This is the 1:1 bitcoin clone that was released April 1, and may or may not be an April Fools's gag.

I will have a newly installed and updated standard Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) virtual machine (Oracle VirtualBox), and I will test your script in that environment.  Certain posts suggest that related altcoins, especially CNC, will give a clean make in Ubuntu 11.04.

You will provide a shell script that runs as root, that makes a complete environment to compile bytecoin, and does a clean make of bytecoin. 
I will own and publish the script.  You may do anything else that you wish with it.  I have made an initial effort to do this, and there are some missing dependencies.  Some of the altcoin threads discuss these dependencies.  I would rather pay you to handle these details than duplicate your expertise. 

If you have trouble connecting to a node, you may try addnode 66.234.123.28 add in your configuration file.

for example:

#!/bin/sh
#sudo apt-get install ssh, ntp, git, <anything else that is necessary>
#other installs as may be necessary

#---
#git the source

#---
#perform the make


Please submit a bid denominated in BTC and a deadline.

I will consider making payment in USD or BTE, provided that we agree on the exchange rate.  If I pay in BTC or BTE, I will disclose the TXiD.

I have never found a Ubuntu client, for Precise Pangolin 12.04.  Make fails with unmet dependencies.  I would like a script that installs the missing dependencies.

On Cryptsy, about 0.00018 BTC / BTE

My guess is data consistency.  They would have to migrate the changes from the new site back into the old engine.  This would take time and introduce risk. 

The loudest people in the troll box were saying that the new software should not run until it is stable.  Ahem, that is now the situation.

If you give your IP and make sure port 6333 is open, we can send a connection to you.
You can open the debug window, go to the console, and type

Rape is not voluntary.  Casinos require effort to travel to, and participation is voluntary.  Even with the casinos, the Native Americans have not been treated justly in accordance with the treaties.

A reservation that I have visited has a wind turbine, but it is idle.  The local electricity company will not allow them to connect to the grid.

I have envisioned a scenario where they heat/cool a community building, possibly including a swimming pool and laundromat, with the waste heat from mining operations in a facility adjacent to the wind turbine.

They could also clone a coin for their own use, and use this coin to distribute funds.  The culture in the Native community seems to be significantly more tuned to taking care of all members of the community than the bitcoin community, and I think these ideas will work there.

The casinos have attracted a significant amount of outside funding, and a consideration of how they have impacted the reservation may be instructive in viewing a currency exchange.

I have worked in support.  If you have 5 support tickets, you are taking more than 5 times the time it takes to handle 1 ticket.  It will work better for you, and for everyone, if you file one with the detail.  "something is wrong" is not enough detail.  Then quit and wait. 

If you try to apply more pressure, they will respond by becoming more defensive, and not by fixing the problem.  It hurts everyone for you to put many support tickets in.  Don't do it.

I don't understand how you think that checkpoints mean that a small group of people is deciding which branch is correct.

The protocol rules chose the correct branch.  The checkpoints only document what that historical choice was.

Is it clearly total work, rather than block height?

I have read two instructions to handle this.  One of them worked for me, the other I did not try.

1.  Place an order too large to be filled.  Cancel out of it.
A.  Place a tiny order.  Then cancel it.

I tried option 1.
