Ok, got the windows screenshot.
Should have OSX in a few hours. Got an update on the OSX wallet too, it'll be OSX 10.9+ only for now.
Btw, thanks for having an OS X wallet up front. It's so frustrating dealing with windows-only launches and not have to mess around with github. |

Ok, this is for all you linux guys and pool operators that are going to pull the GitHub files. This should assist you in a speedier release if you want to do it. [WARNING: This is only for people who understand git, how to compile coins, etc. This is not for beginners or the faint of heart!We heard from a few people, and pool operators, that getting the source early would assist them. We also know that it'll be late in Europe, so for anyone waking up, this should let you get back to sleep quicker. We can't release the full source, for reasons previously stated, but our developers got together and decided that we could release "most" of it early minus a few critical files. This should allow people to pre-compile a good portion of the source, and cut down on the compilation time required. At launch time this evening, we'll post the missing files. We aren't aware of any other coins doing this, so this very well may be a first -- and something we hope to see in the future. We're entirely in favor of fair launches, and we do believe a fair launch should include those who may not have the worlds fastest machines, limited bandwidth, etc. So to that end, about 98% of the source has been posted to: http://github.com/bonuscoin/bonuscoin - NOTE full release files will NOT be there until launch time.Anyone with enough knowledge is welcome to clone the source and start partial compilation now. The code will compile up to the point where it requires one of the missing files and stop. So when errors get thrown out -- don't freak out -- it's supposed to break. At launch time, anyone who has chosen to use this method will need to pull the missing files to their clone and finish the build. The exact amount of time this will save will vary depending on your setups, but it should shave down the time some. When we said we wanted your feedback and we're listening to it, we meant it. Keep it coming! Launch in ~3 hours! Thank you very much! I'm compiling now the bonuscoind and I assume it's going to fail at close to 98% and will give me the error message on the missing files/folders. Thank you. Is there a risk here that someone might grab the missing files/folders from another coin source and successfully build the coindaemon? Thanks again for doing this. |

No problem. No there really is no risk. The missing files aren't standard between coins. Even if someone was able to some how rewrite all the code (which they couldn't do anyway), the seed node will not be live until launch time anyway. So, even if it compiled fully, if they started mining they'd be on a fork and none of their coins would count anyway. This was just an attempt to do something a little different with a launch that increases fairness. There is always a risk in attempting something new. But I figure each coin ought to try something new and hopefully other launches will follow suit.  |

Partially compiled and ready for launch! Got a pool as a back up in case the rest of the compilation is taking too long on my machine. 55 minutes! |

hi
the file in archive is one(for windows), that means needs installation
is there a wallet without installation needed?
thanks
The Windows client is statically linked. No installation needed. |

re: mining
Burst my bubble now -- what can I expect from a 2GH ASIC?
In tandem with that, should I lean toward a pool with more miners? I've noticed one place I pre-signed, my account # was 16; at another placer it was close to 100. Does it matter for what little hash I bring?

Normally with a bit of luck you can solo mine with 2 GHS while diff is low(<1k i think).
Moreover my experience shows, that pools tend to fail at the beginning of the launch, they go down, provide false diff, disconnect etc.
Solomine FTW:)
PS
At the beginning we will have tons of orphans, because many ppl will discover blocks at the same time. Dont worry (people always do)
