Bottlecaps 2.1 UPDATE REQUIRED - HARDFORK JULY 4 2014 to 200% Annual PoS

[Tranz]

Does anyone have a noob friendly link to install the QT wallet on Ubuntu 12.04?

My little linux box has a decent UPS and I'd like to move my staking wallet to it.

Thanks in advance...

Easiest to compile you own.  This guide should work pretty well.

Some of the dependencies are newer then on the guide, ie boost is in the 1.5s now, but it should work. Just try to get a more recent version.

Let us know how it works out.

Wow - 886k and 12 BTC in Volume today...News?

Nothing I know of. My guess was a big wallet dumped a bunch of coins, and then bots came into the trading to play around for a bit.

Wouldn't it be great if we could have trade volume like that all the time.  It was interesting to see that dumps were met with buys with the result a pretty much steady price through the whole thing.

Yes it would be, high liquidity is important to growth.  Plus a good trader could make a nice dime trading that much volume with 20% swings.

FYI.
My virus scanner just flagged my windows bottlecaps-qt.exe version 2.2.0 as an IRC bot.  I can assure you this is not the case, but the code does contain the ability to communicate on IRC. It is currently not active, as we use DNS seeds for network exploration, not IRC anymore.

In any event I just wanted get be out in front of it, in case anyone else saw this, and had a problem getting it to run. I simply allowed it as an exception and moved on.

Not sure if anyone else had issues with the wallet connecting to the network, but I did and decided to share my .conf settings. It took a while searching but I found a lot of nodes that connect and it gave me a good 12 connections over the 0 I had starting out.

Simply add a new text file in your Bottlecaps wallet folder (for me it was c:/Users/MYNAMEHERE/appdata/roaming/Bottlecaps/ since I use Windows 8.1). Then rename that to bottlecaps.conf and say yes if it says it might become unstable. Next, copy and paste what I placed in quotes and save the conf file. Once you get this done I'd suggest exiting the wallet and then reopening it. Worked fine for me, hope it works for you guys also.

Thanks Tranz. Will give it a try tonight.
Just for interest sake, can one use the same blockchain files that I already have on windows or will I have to let the linux wallet sync from scratch. (i.e. same file formats or different?)

I am not sure if they are compatible or not.  You can at least use the blk001.dat renamed to bootstrap.dat and put it in place in the appdata directory before you start the client.

I am sure I remember that there was a post in this thread with instructions for compiling a Raspberry Pi version of Bottlecaps.  Finally got the Pi but now with search disabled cannot find the post with instructions...

Is it any thing different than the instruction just posted for compiling a wallet on Ubuntu?  If so, if anyone has the Raspberry Pi instructions bookmarked and can post a link that would be like totally tubular and rad.

I have only compiled the daemon for the Pi. I put out my instructions for HBN when i did it here https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/8233-pihobonickels/

UPDATE:

Total chaos 
QT4 would not install due to dependencies. Trying to fix those completely messed up my system so now I'm doing a clean install. (known bug apparently from all my searches)

Going to take a nap since I've been up all night trying to fix this mess and then try again

PS. I did not even get to compile the wallet. All of this is probably due to my insignificant knowledge of Linux...

Sorry to hear that, but if you makes you feel any better you are not alone. It took me 3 tries before I got it all correct for Windows to compile.  Never had to re-install OS, but still was days before it was all setup.

yes they should be, i've done this on other coins, and it works.  Have not tried on caps though, i start client with -rescan afterwards too.

Update2:

With a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 and following the guide provided everything went very smooth.
I believe all my playing and changing stuff on the old 12.04 installation corrupted packages which was the cause of all my drama.

Linux wallet is now synced and should start staking within the week.

Thanks to all that provided input

Awesome! Now you can try out small code changes and see what happens.

solo mining still going? and is it the same config as the first page?

Yes you can still solo, assuming you have the hash.

The addnodes are a bit out of date, but you can grab as many as you need here: http://cap.cryptocoinexplorer.com/peerinfo (the port should be omitted). Otherwise it is a standard solo mining config.
