Thanks a lot. I'm using Digital Ocean as hoster, if this helps and if you like, I'll set up a fresh droplet for some tests.

yep a regression has been introduced. if you know how to use git you can revert to this commit in libbitcoin which works:

[genjix]

fixed.

[dexX7]

fixed.

Installation was smooth but the error remains:

Code:

root@sx:~# sx fetch-last-height
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_construct null not valid

In the meanwhile I was able to set up a working sx with the following script:

https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/install-msc/blob/master/res/install-sx.sh

Which seems to use the following commits:

https://github.com/spesmilo/libwallet/commit/21447cc
https://github.com/spesmilo/libbitcoin/commit/335489f
https://github.com/spesmilo/obelisk/commit/58f326d
https://github.com/spesmilo/sx/commit/a97f7be

Which OS? 32bit or 64bit?

I will setup a VM and test once I know that info.

I've had the same problem. Latest version of Ubuntu.

Hi folks,

• I've created a simple GUI for SX using Zenity that you can find: https://github.com/spesmilo/sx/tree/master/tools
• The README.md has some detailed instructions for installing SX and some other dependencies if you want to do stealth addresses.
• My plan is to add all of the major functions of SX into this simple GUI... so far I've done stealth addresses and creating 2/3 multisignature addresses.
• Definitely more work to be done!

Here is a screenshot:

I have that too with the latest sx from git. Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64.

Is this fixed somewhere or should I hack the code?

I'm going to setup a VPS and test.

Please do Amir, I can't broadcast transactions on sx because of this problem... it's the last thing I need to implement on the sx GUI.

This is where the sx GUI is up to:

Edit: Grammar... it was late at night.

sorry guys for the delay as I've been at the bitcoin expo this weekend: http://bitcoinexpo.ca/

ok I've fixed the issue in git.

going forwards we are going to switch to the git flow model, therefore there will be a stable master and an unstable develop branch. http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/
this will ensure breaking changes made during development don't impact people's ability to use the repo as a user.

you need to build czmq with libsodium and use 4.0

What do you mean, use 4.0?

if you check out the install script: http://sx.dyne.org/install-sx.sh it should make more sense what's needed to build all.

[genjix]

added an example showing 3 of 5 multisignature

Hi,

We will keep the master branch for periodic merges with some guarantee of stability for our users.

Development will happen on the develop branch.

This is a simplified version of the git-flow branching model:

We can adopt the fuller scheme later if need be.

It's working great for me now. Thanks genjix.

My Obelisk server is syncing, and with 4GB of RAM on my VPS, it's STILL getting whacked by the OOM killer. Could you possibly do something about that?

OK, we should have a fix for this (things should drop blocks not go OOM) but it isn't easy.

Use an SSD, not a spinning disk. It isn't built for spinning disk.

Eventually we should have a way to distribute the blockchain, and I'm looking for good suggestions for how people could download it from a server. I'm sure people wouldn't appreciate untarring many gigabytes.

BTW obelisk.unsystem.net is running for the public. I try to keep that one up.
