I am not too thrilled with the QT code base and have no aspirations on maintaining it.   (...)

For now,  users will have to settle with command line. ;-)

how does your foot feel now? I bet it doesn't like being shot..

Remember that we are just criticizing it now... much better to work out the bugs now than have it fucked up from the start.

I have to say though if there is no -qt, you need some sort of 'wallet" program that windows users can use very easily. Not having this will cut out a good majority of people using your idea

I am not too thrilled with the QT code base and have no aspirations on maintaining it.   So, yes, it is like not going to be part of the ZenithCoin distribution.

For now,  users will have to settle with command line. ;-)

But rest assured, we do have plans for a GUI wallet.  It is just not going to be QT.

Man, there is tutorials for dummis for building client for windows out there ....

Worst dev ever , hahahaa

Agree, one of our weaknesses, we only know Unix (MacOS and Linux).  We will probably give out bounties for Windows work.

The real weakness is calling Linux as UNIX

Most people can not use command line lets alone even know what it is. Hell compiling on windows is a pain in the ass unless you know what your doing even then it can be a major pain.

Take my word on this, if there is anything you would listen to me on anything... you need a windows-qt or something along those lines. Without it, you will really limit who does your thing here... and really closing the door to the bigger market ( if no "wallet" whos gonna buy it? )

That would be wise. There has been a few that are in the same boat without the knowledge on building stuff for windows that have done bounties for them.

I see 2 fatal flaws without even looking into it in more detail:

1. 50% of all coins go to the developers. For this alone I will never mine this coin. The concept isn't actually a bad one but instead of keeping 50%, maybe 0.5% would be "reasonable".

2. No Windows-qt. This gives everyone that is not using Windows a huge head start. Someone will make the Windows client but by then everyone else will have raped the coin.

So for me for the first reason alone, I will never support this coin. And that is saying something because I have almost every wallet in existence.

Yes, this will appeal to miners who understand the value proposition.

You don't need windows-qt to mine the coin.

Well, what can i say. Another dead-born coin.

[bnogal]

that happen when people use horrible libraries as boost... that it is making so hard to compile for other platforms...
boost, the stack of shit where everybody can go to make shit...

Is the Freicoin difficulty/budget code working well?

This is a pretty good demonstration of the Freicoin code to those of you who won't touch Freicoin.

Lack of a windows binary is a sure sign of developer incompetence.

This is likely the first coin derived the Freicoin code base.

I think it was a good choice considering that Freicoin has some really good developers backing them.  I hope that their foundation can subsidize projects that ZenithCoin can also benefit from.

True. In the same way that you CAN accept only Diner Club at your store, but 9/10 people will think you are out of your mind and walk away.

Lack of a windows binary only means that it is not is the list of high priorities.

I got the following error when trying to compile the daemon in Ubuntu 12.04:

Code:

In file included from netbase.h:10:0,
                 from util.h:30,
                 from alert.h:13,
                 from alert.cpp:8:
serialize.h:281:19: fatal error: gmpxx.h: No such file or directory

You need to install the gmp libraries.

sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev

Yes everybody must use Hazard's altcoin creation service ....

You gotta love the fuckups in the initial commit:

Code:

[b]gensis[/b] block created 

Code:

#define COIN_DNS_SEED {"node.[b]zenitcoin[/b].com", "seed.zenithcoin.com"},

Move along, nothing to see. Just another failed altcoin done by a toddler.

Well thanks for the second catch.

The DNS seed is not yet working.   The default setting will first be IRC (like the original Bitcoin).  (Reminder to self:  set this up prior to mining launch)

It indeed is interesting that the current Bitcoin defaults are not applicable for a newly created coin.

You need to install the gmp libraries.

sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev

Hm..aint that for mp3? Edit: No its not 

This worked for me:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev && sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev

Yes, that looks right. 

Just a disclaimer, you can test mine right now, but we'll recreate the genesis block on the official mining launch so you will will lose these test coins.

Thanks for your interest.
