[XBC] BitcoinPlus Official Thread

[BitcoinPlusBus]

Got to rig up a testnet with old and new clients, activate SegWit and make sure everything works. First though we still need to update the Qt GUI and last of all do the consensus rules (acceptblock/checkblock). 0.13 might be able to mint PoS blocks but without the consensus rules it would accept blocks rejected by the old clients and we do not want a fork.

Qt and consensus will be done before I goes away away on holiday then testing when I get back.

On another note Google Captcha is the spawn of satan.It took me 30 minutes to log into BCT today.

Some other trivial features were proposed such as direct links to exchanges,blockexplorer etc but the whole issue around security may prevent this.No point in spending endless time and effort ensuring a secure functional client and then add in some unnescessary cosmetic stuff that adds no real value with the potential to undermine the important stuff.I would personally have no links whatsoever coming off the wallet.

I ran an issue as below while running `make -f makefile.unix` on ubuntu machine -

error : tor/compat_libevent.h:18:25: fatal error: event2/util.h: No such file or directory

it doesn't seem like the source code includes event2/util.h anymore - is this a bug?

This is what I use on a brand new Digital Oceon Droplet - Ubuntu 16.04.4 x64
Min 2GB Ram required.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb++-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
git clone https://github.com/bitcoinplusorg/xbcwalletsource.git
cd xbcwalletsource/src/
make -f makefile.unix 
./bitcoinplusd

From start to finish takes about 15 minutes.

is this a 1:1 swap with bitcoin?

[cshelswell]

is this a 1:1 swap with bitcoin?

Basically yes - the Prof is working hard on it and I think he'll be better to enlighten on the progress, but I think a lot of that has been covered in earlier posts.

Have you installed the libevent-dev dependency?

Code:

apt install libevent-dev

No.The 1:1 swap back in 2015 was for coins off an old dead chain that was abandoned.

my error has worked after installing libevent-dev - Thanks!!

I have some questions -!

1) I'm trying to use JSON-RPC for all connections -downloading the blocks etc. and `bitcoinplusd -help` says default RPC port is 8885 while this page (https://github.com/bitcoinplusorg/xbcwalletsource) says it's 8884. Could someone tell me the right one for JSON-RPC?

2) When I start bitcoinplusd, it says
```
[warn] Error creating directory /root/.bitcoinplus/tor: No such file or directory
[warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't access/create private data directory "/root/.bitcoinplus/tor"
[err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
```
So unless I have /root/.bitcoinplus in place, the service doesn't start.. I'm running this on a docker container as a non-root user - would there be a way to bypass (e.g. add another config etc..) this error?


Thanks in advance!

Try 8884 for now.I will take a look at the other stuff and get back to you.

It actually seems like 8885 works! (and 8884 returns address already in use error?)

1) I still wonder if there's a way to configure `/<user>/.bitcoinplus/tor` path somewhere? (i'm trying to see if there's a way to have the daemon works without manually creating /<user>/.bitcoinplus directory for /<user>/.bitcoinplus/tor)

2) Also, it seems like if I have `-onlynet=ipv4` or `-onlynet=IPv4`, the blocks don't seem to load - it hangs after below logs

`4 addresses found from DNS seeds
ThreadDNSAddressSeed exited`

3) I'm trying to make an API call to Bitcoinplus wallet service using `curl `(by curl to Load balancer dns) - Is there an example api calls online? I tried
```
curl --user <user>:<password> -k <Load Balancer DNS>:8885/api/getblockcount
```

but it didn't work :^( (I got 403)

Stick with 8885 so if it works.For the rest I have put the issue(s) to someone else who runs some seed nodes and am waiting on a response.They could be away for a few days though but someone might chime in on the subject in the meantime.Hang in there.
