Ok, got a chance to attempt throwing a few commands at it, each command causes a crash so not sure what is up with it. I am using the bitcoind commands (I assume they work). Here are the ones I was trying:

devcoind getblockcount
devcoind getdifficulty

and a bunch of the others listed on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list

Each time I get devcoind.exe has stopped working. So either I am doing it wrong or theres a glitch?

i think a BT dosnt exist on winblows? gonna try it out in a VM to check it.
maybe devcoind really dosnt work on winblows alltogether

EDIT: confirmed, happens to me too.

Dont give up yet, I think it can be done

With the reward halving....I'm hoping we can get this going asap.

[K1773R]

im wondering what it is, debuggin on winblows is a horrible thing.

EDIT: setting up GDB on winblows, oh well...
i think it would be easier doing it with cygwin

[K1773R]

got it:

--snip--

so it seems to be a problem with boost (again, argl i hate this shit...).
im going to build another build with an older libboost to see if we can get around this.

if this dosnt work im creating a cygwin build.

[K1773R]

crashes with 1.40 boost on winblows too -.-

[K1773R]

building on winblows now, man this shit is so slow ^^

[K1773R]

and done, i was even able to fix the wx Code (and part of library) so we got a working GUI (you can even mine with it if you specify --server, unlike the QT variant).

gonna upload a zip as before.
it will contain everything needed for mining, all you have to do is to place it in %APPDATA%

@jasinlee: pls delete everything expect the following files/folder in your Devcoin folder: wallet.dat devcoin.conf receiver/

So when you upload that I will take a stab at it all including the mining with my rig

some minutes, just creating a batch file for installing (long time since i worked with batch)
EDIT: nvm, i forgot how ugly this shit is... will be adding a README

[jasinlee]

Lol ok, you can probably just copy paste what I wrote in above for a walkthrough.

Code:

The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Any help is appreciated!

[c4n10]

NVM, got it working, had to d/l and add "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" and "libstdc++-6.dll" to the directory.

[jasinlee]

Ok, killer just to be safe, add those two files to your zip and I think it will work, I experienced the same issue when I did the install. One of the dlls I downloaded wasnt any good had to get another for libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll. Any way we could change the programs name from bitcoin to devcoin?

Updated source code: https://sourceforge.net/projects/galacticmilieu/files/DeVCoin/

Also updated on my github.

qt version has some new images. Both versions have updated receivers.h and a recent checkpoint.

I cannot compile the qt version now that I have moved to Fedora 17, as it seems I do not have qmake-qt4 anymore.

Compiling with just qmake, which is from qt3 or qt3.3, even if I use qmake -project first to update the project itself, ends up dying on some GUI thing somewhere even after I add into its makefile the required adding of -fpermissive for gcc and use of custom openssl that includes elliptic stuff that Fedora normally leaves out of its openssl. So I am figuring I need some way to use my installed qt 4, the way used to be to use qmake-qt4 but that no longer exists and its not clear what if anything one should use instead. qmake definitely seems to be compiling against qt3 not qt4, and I know I always needed qt4 for this thing.

Luckily I have no intention of using a GUI but still its annoying that the thing won't even build. I had thought to put it on a bootable live usb image people could use as a boot-and-play system.

As to changing the name of the program, I just do "mv bitcoind /usr/local/bin/devcoind" after doing "strip bitcoind", there are gosh knows how many makefiles plus some kind of qt project file thing one would have to hack at to have it actually build it to a different name in the first place, and I suspect the qt project file's own name might even have to be changed as I suspect it uses the name of the project file to decide on a name for the final program it builds, though I am not sure as I have never "done" qt.

i will fix that so u dont need it! did i really forget to rename it from bitcoin to devcoind? that would be a shame ^^

EDIT: nvm i did rename it.

EDIT2: uploaded newer bundle with static linked libsdtdc++ and libgcc

[Unthinkingbit]

I suggest a 4 then 2 share bounty for a windows devcoin GUI client. The award would only be granted after confirmation that the client can send, and receive devcoins and generate a new address. Any objections?

[jasinlee]

I just confirmed it can receive and generate a new address, I will attempt to send in a moment.
