I've been trying to build a barterdex machine. I purchased off of craigslist a used desktop, i7 8g ram for ~$200
Ubuntu 16 was extremely easy to install (via ubuntu's instructions, I put it on a thumb drive then installed over that god awful windows os)
My goal is to recreate the kmd-litecoin swap as seen in the ptytrader video
litecoin was relatively easy to install via their website and I've been fumbling around with trying to get syscoin installed and fumbling with chips.
Of course as luck would have it, I just found this beauty
https://support.supernet.org/support/solutions/articles/29000014808-installation-script-for-various-coinsThe GoodI followed this guide for kmd and barterdex
https://support.supernet.org/support/solutions/articles/29000014810-barterdex-linux-installation-guide-komodo-btcFollowing the instructions,
I got komodo to install and sync correctly I believe. (blocks and longest chain match)
I then copy pasted the rest of the instructions from the above install link down to where it says to bitcoin. (I have no interest at the moment of downloading that beast)
At this point, I think the barterdex is running, I'm not sure how to check if I did it correctly. I'm also not sure what to do next/ how to use it. I don't really even know how to start or stop it. I just left it running.
[I was also just focusing on installing the barterdex in this step, kmd was not running, so not sure if it needed to be running for install)
The BadI also noticed that the install guide for barterdex (link above) was not entirely as accurate as the
https://github.com/SuperNETorg/komodo/wiki/Installing-Komodo-ManuallyNote (I'm not a linux wizard) but I had to figure out how to install from root (ubuntu 16 doesn't allow easy root access)
The beginning line for the dex install says '# as root'. I googled this and came up with (sudo -i)
The other question I had about the install was the switching to barterdex user at the end of that section. When installing the marketmaker section, this is installed under the barterdex user. I assume this is correct? It also appears these instructions will install bitcoin (which i didn't do) under the barterdex user. Should I be installing all coins including kmd with barterdex user?
The Ugly I see that there is no swing wallet for the linux kmd. If I so choose to use a gui, can I launch command line kmd then launch agama into native mode?
Also how does the uglygui fit it? Should I ignore this or should I install this?
https://github.com/SuperNETorg/dexuglyguiFrom the instructions it appears to only swap exactly 100kmd for bitcoin? Although from one of the videos it shows otherwise I think, old instructions?.
Obviously, I am a little lost at this point in time. There is a supernet forum, a wiki page, this support page (linked above) that comes from supernet.org, the reddit page, bitcointalk page, the slack page, the github page, videos on youtube, and the komodo platform page.
The most helpful has been the support.supernet.org. But it kinda seems like info is all over the place and I'm really having to do some digging.

So TLDR.
I want to recreate the litecoin-kmd swap.
I believe that I have installed litecoin and kmd successfully (although I did just find that gem of a doc 'installation-script-for-various-coins', though haven't tried it yet)
1. I'm not sure If I installed barterdex correctly or how to use it, start it, etc.
2. I am also interested in trying the various gui. How do they work with the command line installs I have done? ie: start komodo then start agama? or start kmd and start litecoin then start uglygui?
3. I am interested in also trying to do a litecoin to syscoin swap. Can we get more guides? Can we get a video of a non-kmd coin to another non-kmd coin?
Thanks
