Mac OS X Update

Finally it's here! I've been testing it on Mac OS X 10.7.5 with both I2P enabled and not. Working fine for me. Please report any errors!

You Mac OS X users are also the lucky first to use the new codebase, 0.8.3.7  

http://anoncoin.net/downloads/Anoncoin-Qt.dmg

Release for windows will be out within some days. First we'll add coin control! We will update the Mac OS X client as well with that new feature. Linux users are free to compile! - We're also planning to release Linux binaries, but no schedule there.

Thank you for this!

however its not working, still getting

Linking seems fine too..

It was built using macports with custom options. So I guess macports then, which requires Xtools. Source: http://gavintech.blogspot.no/2011/11/deploying-bitcoin-qt-on-osx.html

But it should be possible to make a version not requiring macports. I will research it more! Thanks for the detailed report!  

Meeh , I sent you the full crash report. I hope it helps, let me know if you need anything else

[AnonyMint]

I hope the developers are aware of such issues.

Of course we are. Both I, K1773R and BroTroxer have had discussion on this. Implementations of zerocoin, coloredcoin etc have been discussed. And you will probably see one of the features in Anoncoin in the future, and if none of them, another system that's similar and does the same job. No schedule is set on this. However, the latency problem is known, but not addressed yet. Note, none of those features will come in the next release, but probably the next after this.

Feel free to join us at #anoncoin (IRC, Freenode or I2P)

Thank you

FYI, high-latency is higher priority than zerocoin or CoinJoin (if my logic is correct at the link below):

thanks to cozz, we just merged the Coin Control features from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144331.msg1530422#msg1530422 to ANC, its currently tested in testnet+mainnet and so far it seems to work as it should.
the new ANC release will have Coin Control included, if you cant wait you can compile it urself.
please checkout master-0.8 @ git if you want to try it.

you can enable Coin Control feature in the GUI @ options, but as it says its only for experts or ppls who know how TXOUTs are working. This helps for being more anyonymous on the blockchain.
if there are questions about Coin Control, feel free to ask

Sounds like a great feature to add to the coin. Looking forward to testing it


BTW, price has sure jumped! very nice

Can anoncoind be configured to use i2p instance running on another machine in same subnet?    if so, how?  The idea is to have one i2p gateway on secure network. thanks.

[btc4ever]

I get that too.

This fixed it for me.  up and running now.

Would it be possible to add in a feature for Freenet or YaCy into the client? [Only to be used if they are willing to use up more disk space]. I know I would use it, and since they are already using it for large block files, it could also be used to help prevent internet censorship, too! If you do consider putting YaCy/Freenet patches in it, I would be very happy to test them out for you!

Already aware, but thanks anyway 

https://github.com/Anoncoin/coinjoin - Forked for reference.

We're looking on some DHT Kademlia Library right now to intregrate into the client. This will open possibility for decentralization of CoinJoin. E.g clients share a DHT system for CoinJoin, making it decentralized. And it would help with Zerocoin as well. By the way, one of the developers from Zerocoin answered on a tweet today, so we're going to contact Zerocoin for a possible implementation.

Why does the OSX version not work?
openssl linking.

The Anoncoin-Qt executable clearly points to the right directory.

Code:

	@executable_path/../Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
	@executable_path/../Frameworks/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

However, it still try to look for libssl.1.0.0.dylib and libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib in /opt/local/lib, which is a macports directory.

Easy workaround for the OSX version until openssl is fixed

Open the Terminal.app application. You find it under Applications -> Utilities

This assumes that you got Anoncoin-Qt.app installed in your Applications folder.

Then type the following commands:

Code:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/lib
sudo ln -sf /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /opt/local/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib
sudo ln -sf /Applications/Anoncoin-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib  /opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib

Note: You will be asked for your mac account password to do administrative operations.. sudo = "Super user(Administrator) do"

The first command will create the folder, the two next will make a "shortcut/link" to the libraries inside Anoncoin-Qt.app.

I removed my /opt/local/lib/ folder temporary, then I did the commands above and Anoncoin opens.

Other news

I plan release new binaries tomorrow. Probably for all Operating Systems. Including Linux (i386/x64)

I hope the Mac OS X version is fixed by then, if not, the workaround above should fix it without any need of extra installation of applications etc. And should take no disk space at all. Sorry for this problem. If the next build won't fix it, we'll continue until it works

Yes, YaCy is a Distributed Search engine. I guess it isn't a very good idea, anyway. And, thank you for putting Freenet on the list!
