Just to make sure, along with everything else, you are going to update the code to work with the current version of secp256k1, right?

Yes

... was not a correct answer.
I have considered pros & cons again. So, first of all, even Bitcoin Core is not compatibile with current secp256k1. They bundle older version. Therefore we will follow same path. So instead of porting to latest version I will simply include working version to 8bit distribution.

[M8BWNNRFMNdak68c]

so you all trust 8-bit-Party ?
he is sending me strange private messages.. i have really no idea what he is talking about..

Why are you doing this?

OK, the question has changed.
Why do you think I am fool?

we never spoke before.. and he will not tell me what he is just refering to.. strange..
i admitted that i make several transactions a day and that i found many blocks with 2 masternodes.. but he does not care.. he is accusing me of something and i don't know what.. so if you can not tell me.. will you tell the community?

THAT, is totally an acceptable answer! I was just thinking of it from the perspective of a new user, and "git checkout a1d5ae1" is the point where it gets to be too much for folks who have never programmed before.  (I've done a bunch of devops roles for work, so, I'm pretty well versed at where even technical but non-programmer folk start to get lost.)

I wrote this up for the CRAVE community a few months ago... Now, these steps work just fine for the currently released version of the 8bit wallet on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install and a fresh crunchbang++ install as well (both 32bit and 64bit).  But, if you're finishing up the update now, please look at these steps below...
The shorter we can make these steps on a fresh install, the more users with things like masternoding and staking in mind we can attract, and hopefully in turn even more folks with things like games, investing, markets, and services.

• mkdir <directory you want this to live in>
• cd <that directory>
• sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev libminiupnpc-dev
• git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1.git
• cd secp256k1
• git checkout a1d5ae1
• ./autogen.sh
• ./configure
• make
• sudo make install
• sudo ldconfig
• cd ..
• git clone https://github.com/8bit-dev/8bit
• cd 8bit/src/
• mkdir obj/crypto
• make -f makefile.unix

That also said, if you can get ALL the "non-standard repository" stuff truly included in the source, there's no reason we can't distribute a binary, or even maybe .deb and .rpm packages.  (well at least for easy distribution on the linux side of things)
Think about it, as yum and apt repos are not that hard to build, certainly in my skillset anyway... And, for almost all of the linux running userbase, the cutover would be as hard as "sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install 8bitd" _{...Well, the NEXT cutover anyway...}

Easy to run platforms result in more users... Then we can concentrate on something like, "Remember when you could mine BTC/LTC/FTC in your basement with an old machine and just hear the money rolling in?" "Well, those days can be here again!!"  Welcome to 8Bit, retro in more ways than one.

Question:  What's up with the 8bit Subreddit?

Admittedly, I'm a redditor, but the 8bit sub hasn't seen a post in 3 months... I'm going to start throwing some stuff on there for shits and giggles, some likes and discussion could help us.  Google scrapes the shit out of reddit, so some traffic there as well will create newer and more relevant results for "8bit" or "8bitcoin"... Which again, is useful in attracting more users, and keeping them interested enough to run a wallet and grab some currency.

(will be useful later)

i'm seeing a lot of masternodes popping up.

Dev, what is your donation address?

DONATION ADDRESS

Hello 8Bit Community,

As I've mentioned a few times, promotions are my thing around here, and I will do what it takes to get some people looking into 8Bit.

I want to give a big thanks to Starin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=499402 - For being so helpful to all the newcomers in the thread, and for his time he put in creating www.8bitcoin.org

Also big thanks to Crypto_graphics https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=384621 - For brainstorming ideas with me, and knocking out some killer graphics for the thread, and www.8bitcoin.org website.

Promotions/Contest/Giveaways in the works and I need you guys ( the community ) to help pitch in to bring this all together.

I am listing a donation address ( 8bit & Bitcoin ) and your name ( if wanted ) will be recognized on the 8Bitcoin.org website if you decide to donate.

Any donation counts, and these donations will be used for Promotions/Contest/Giveaways. Donate what you can, dust or gold...it's still the thought that counts.

This is awesome!

Ok, I looked at both addresses, and he really never received much...so it's not the fact that he took money.

Is MasterTrader777 somehow affiliated with 8BitProject, the original dev?  That would be interesting.

Please keep us in the loop...don't really feel it's fair that we all pay for one guy being a dick, if he has been one.

Any why does he owe you 3btc?  I'm interested in this too.

[Dimitry]

This is getting more and more popcorn like!

[mastertrader777]

Haha, thats so awesome to see that post come back around.

Back then I was working with a few guys..trying to save this coin because I "was" invested.

CryptoGraphics made the image, while we ping-ponged some awesome ideas.

I opened a donation address for the event we were trying to push and get going.

Wasn't so much for any development work, but more or less to pay for the prizes for the contest. I have a few other images CryptoGrahpics made for me, but those were for other themed events within 8bit.

Perfect example of me trying to do my part...Now we have some "new dev" that everyone seems to trust trying to be a buster about everything.

I hope he/she really does help you out and makes something happen for this.

All he/she can seem to talk about is me, while I stayed outta this thread long enough for him to have a chance to prove himself...

Now what?

Nothing.

Thats what I tried to tell you guys before, but some of you wanted your "new" dev to take the drivers seat, and I happily gave up the keys.

Simple as that.

LMAO- you want me to pay you 3 btc for what?

This is getting rather interesting. Please tell what I owe you 3 btc for..lol

Looks like I was right all along, and all you were trying to do was derail the community takeover.

Pat yourself on the back, I've been done since you came along "new dev" . Now you are pretty much leaving your community once again..on a bride/blackmail sort of situation...wow this is too funny.

Hate to say it fellas ; " but I told you so "

"new dev" you really couldn't be a bigger piece of shit...implying that I should pay you to keep developing? Or you leave? haha you can't even fork a coin..lol

Cheers,

MasterTrader777

I'm lost, why do we care about the past? We should be looking forwards not backwards. Lets fork this thing, change the thread, and move on. The longer you live in the past, the less future you have to enjoy.

Well if your blind you cant see i guess.

But this developer has 10 agenda's.

Worst part is he is couchpotato.

Yea, but its kinda lame your new dev has done nothing that the community has asked for. Tried to give him a chance to make the right moves, but all he wants to do is just dwell on my and my efforts made to this coin and community.

When its all said and done, I was right about him before he left you guys in the begining and I was right about him tryimg to leave yall again.

Horrible person he/she is...just mainly wanted to stomp on what I had going for a takeover, that was this persons only misson.

I can open back up my eyes to this and powerhouse over whatever he/she is doing and bring you some real developent, and fork this coin..but I can't and won't do it for free.

[8-bit-Party]

I see some of you do not understand the point.
Masteretarded is a serial scammer. I am not going to do anything more to let him earn a single cent here.
So masteretarded has to pay 3 BTC. Otherwise I quit.
I hope it's simple.

Not seeing how letting us all down is the right thing to do....Why do you care if he makes money or not?

[8-bit-Party]

That's not true. I am here, not going anywhere.
If you are looking for a man who let us down, there's one here - masteretarded.
He is the right person to ask.

Why do you care if he makes money or not?

I just can't sponsor my haters. Especially if they are scammers.
