Are you talking about this script? Also BSD is available for GNU/Linux systems, you just need to know how to compile it. There's no point of using binaries on those systems, if it is available as open source and easy to compile. If you have problems with the compiling, just send me a PM with your operating system and i'll send you a step to step guide for compiling the thing as a whole.

No, this one.
It compiles BSD wallet and installs it with ease.

Currently most used distro is ubuntu 16.04, else 14.04.
If you remember requirements, can you drop it here?

About this script actually
https://github.com/dArkjON/BSD-Masternode-Setup-1404

From the same person but for bsd masternode. the one you link to is for btx node

Sure, we all agree that so long as clear instructions for compilation are available, you don't need to provide binaries. But in this case, a good guide seems to be missing.
Also, you can't have a guide for all distros and not everyone uses ubuntu 16.04 which seems to be what all guides focus on. So the existence of binaries is very convenient.

If I have trouble compiling it I'll PM you.

I agree, however there are so many distros that it is not just worth the time writing guides for all of the different varitions of distributions.
Ubuntu 16.04 happens to be really common (not sure if the most used version of ubuntu), so of course it provides the most support.
However problem solving is kind of a important part of  the GNU/Linux experience 

If you remember requirements, can you drop it here?

Requirements for what distribution? Package names vary very much, so if you can tell me exact version and distribution, then i can go through whole compilation process on a virtual machine and report back the whole compilation process with easy copy/paste commands.

Nah, i was thinking to do the same, and i will.

Well the easiest way to "solve" the problem is to have a Ubuntu 16.04 VM or whatever is the standard for the current year.
So that's where I do all my linux stuff now, particularly when it comes to compiling and crypto.

On my main machine running XUbuntu 14.04 the version 0.14.0.4 compiled like a charm. On my old laptop running XUbuntu 16.04 it failed (hints in a previous post).
So, my take on that would be to run a VM with Ubuntu 14.04 and set up a masternode with it. The masternode setup script (https://github.com/dArkjON/BSD-Masternode-Setup-1404) should work well.
Just my2 cents, but... have fun

Segwit with Core 0.14.x
The Segwit opens up new possibilities like the Lightning Network, Tumblebit, Schnorr Signatures, Confidential Transactions, Cross-chain atomic swaps, and so on.
We are already exploring all these new functions, and testing the water. We expect the first implementations as fast as possible.

I have to retract (and apologize for) the "compiled binaries" part. You're right, the instructions must be clear for everyone and working. The release notes should contain a warning about known big issues like this one ("not available for Linux" -- WTF?).
I hope that BSD code will regain the qualities that attracted so many supporters. That's a pretty thick "glitch".
BTW, I tested dArkjON's script. It doesn't work on last version of BSD and the culprit seems to be related to a boost component... or a misplaced backslash

Apology accepted 
I'll give it a shot during the weekend anyway to see for myself where it breaks. Hopefully the devs will fix it soon enough.

Still waiting for an official answer on this. Can I use 14.0.3 for a masternode in the meantime or not? I can't believe all the current masternodes are upgraded.

Please use 0.14.0.4 for your masternode.

Chris, that's really awesome

[CryptoGir]

BitSend didn't drop a lot in BTC since spring, that's unusual. What's the reason behind that?

[tengkuari164]

Nice project , dev , succes for you , don't late send Token , i hopefully your project go to the moon!

[staywoke081]

I unfortunately got wind of BitSend only allowing Legendary members in from here on out and that kinda sucked. I wish that I could have made it for next year but that seems like it won't happen now. Is there any chance of increasing the members from 1k to 2k in the future or is that going to be capped until the distribution is done?

Also I know about Bitcore project a little bit how does BitSend differ from that one? I know it is run by same people but I am no tech guy could somebody try explaining it to me like I am 5 (ELI5 for those of you who reddit ). Thanks

Are you referring to the exchange rate of BSD vs BTC?

Just my2 cents, but... have fun

Actually, I just finished compiling it on my lubuntu 16.04 VM without problems. I used the only the necessary steps from that script and added a few for the qt part. I expect this process to work for most similar wallets now.
I'll try the masternode next week, as by then I should have the collateral amount

Here are the compilation steps for anyone interested. Note that the files produced were quite large . bitsend-qt alone was about 170mb. There's probably a way to compress them but I haven't tried.

This worked on lubuntu 16.04 as root user. If you are not root, all commands need a sudo in front.


First, do an update

Code:

apt-get update

Then, install essential packages

Code:

apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev
apt-get install libboost-all-dev git libminiupnpc-dev libevent-dev

Add bitcoin repository, update again and install a few more

Code:

add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
apt-get update
apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

If you want a GUI binary as well, you need to install the following

Code:

apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler

Download source, configure and compile

Code:

git clone https://github.com/LIMXTEC/BitSend
cd BitSend
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

Done. If you started the proces in your home dir, binaries should be in ~/BitSend/src
bitsend-qt will be in ~/BitSend/src/qt
