Guide to installing on a Linux (Ubuntu) VPS.  Edited with new Github source code location and to use the bitcoin ppa for Berkeley DB instead of compiling from source.  I think the ppa is probably easier, but take a look at the original unedited post if you want to see the other method.

If compiling Britcoin 3 from source, you must use Berkeley DB 4 (e.g. 4.8) and not 5.

Here are some sample commands for how to get going on an Ubuntu VPS.  Note that you need over 1GB RAM to compile Britcoin because of the TOR stuff.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/britcoin3/britcoin3.3.git
apt-get install nano
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install openssl
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install g++

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

cd britcoin3.3/src
make -f makefile.unix

./britcoind -daemon

That gives you a suggested username and password.

nano ~/.britcoin/britcoin.conf

Put these in the text file:

rpcuser=that username you just got
rpcpassword=that password you just got


./britcoind -daemon

I got this error:

I got this error:

So you're compiling the GUI then?  Try just the britcoind (in the src folder) first; see how that goes.

QT 4.8.6, that's strange.  You want to be using something between QT 5.2 and 5.5.

For the GUI, you might need:

sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools


EDIT: You may also need libevent for either daemon or GUI, though that was already in the instructions:

sudo apt-get install libevent-dev

Now I get this:

 I tried to install libvent and it said I already have the newest version?

Code:

leigh@mintBox ~/britcoin3.3/src $ sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
libevent-dev is already the newest version.

I get the same error when I try to run britcoind too.

Code:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

[britcoin3]

Now I get this:

Well, let's focus on just the britcoind for now.  What do you run to cause you to get that last error there?  Let's take this to e-mail, and if something's wrong with the instructions I can add to them or change them.

Just installed on two more VPSs... Here are some better instructions for compiling britcoind on an Ubuntu VPS.

I was doing it as root so didn't care whether I used sudo or not.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libevent-dev

apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/britcoin3/britcoin3.3.git

apt-get install nano

sudo apt-get install gcc

sudo apt-get install openssl

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

sudo apt-get install g++


sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

cd britcoin3.3/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

./britcoind -daemon

nano ~/.britcoin/britcoin.conf
(Paste in the stuff you were just given when you tried to run britcoind)

./britcoind -daemon

I'm happy to announce that we've acquired Britcoin.com!

I'm going push on with development of the new official website next week onwards, with the aim of launching sometime in January 2017.

Cool job mate!

Much more professional than britcoin.xyz  

[leigh2k14]

Remember all the buzz of the Bank of England announcing they were looking in to making their own Britcoin:

http://www.livebitcoinnews.com/bank-of-england-and-house-of-lords-to-discuss-creation-of-britcoin/

It will be interesting to see what they decided on?

As long as they remember we had the name Britcoin first, there's not much they can do about that.

[will7am]

A quick update for everyone.

Development of the new official website is coming along, hoping it will be live sometime mid January.

We have also launched Britchain.org as we needed a new explorer!

Mogreen is making good headway on the new desktop and mobile wallets!

Will.

Awesome, nice work! Looking forward to the new wallets!

Thanks lads.  The next 6 months are really crucial for Britcoin, there's a lot of dev work to be done so we're all gonna be going at it full force to make sure we meet the targets set out in the roadmap. The new wallets, web services, infrastructure etc.

Once the new wallets (mobile especially) are ready we're going start our marketing campaign.  If anyone has any creative marketing ideas I'd love to hear them.  One of my ideas is to get a load of "Britcoin accepted here" stickers made and then get a few local merchants to accept Brit as a method of payment, then get in touch with local media outlets and try and get some coverage for the project.

In the long term I'm hoping new marketing campaigns (and much more) can be funded directly from the Britcoin blockchain via a 2nd tier network, where new ideas are proposed and get voted on and funded based on how much support it has.  As long as people are willing to work for Britcoin I think it will work.

[liberatorium]

sounds all good, nice to see there is progress and active development.

but most importantly imo, is to get brit listed on a legit exchange.
c-cex is all scam run by thieves. coins go missing and tickets never replied to

I'd be more than happy to have some CoinFest scratch cards at the CoinFestUK, they went down very well with a lot of positive feedback at the last event! We have several hundred given away. It would be best to work with retailers who already accept Bitcoin as half the challenge is already complete but I like your ideas.

Sounds like an awesome idea! Keep us posted

Agreed, but we probably will not get enough volume to keep on it now
