i still cannot install it i get the same error as above when i type: make -j command at the end

im trying to update the g++ but for some reason its not letting me

Can someone explain to me why on earth you would have a platform-dependent blockchain/wallet file format?

It's not that hard to make a change which provides both backward-compatibility and platform-independence, but those who can do it mostly have other priorities.

This might work

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y gcc-4.8 g++-4.8
sudo update-alternatives --remove gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.6
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 120 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8

Replace gcc-4.6 with your current gcc version.

Can somebody tell me how much coins be mined?

wow it looks like it is actually working now!! i cannot wait and is the command to mine?

./bitmonerod --start-mining MRO_address --mining-threads number_of_threads

i cannot thank you enough this was bugging me all day and im not that savvy with linux

Current stats:

diff
2014-May-13 22:20:45.753803 BH: 38799, DIFF: 15356392, HR: 255939 H/s

With a block height of 38799 there should be about 17.2*38799 = 667k coins in existence right now.

You probably want to download the linux blockchain and put it into ~/.bitmonero to save a huge amount of sync time. That is the right command. If it doesn't start mining after you are synced type into bitmonerod

Code:

start_mining MRO_address number_of_threads

And then you can view your hashrate by typing

Code:

show_hr

thank you so much i appreciate it alot, but for some reason the link for the blockchain is broken is there another link?

[ibleed100s]

so this is the command i used

wget -o blockchain.bin https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B7RQILpPGrQbUGthNmVJM3RCNDQ&export=download

and this is the error im getting

 wget: blockchain.bin: Permission denied
JM3RCNDQ&export=downloaduc?id=0B7RQILpPGrQbUGthNmV


thats what it looks like??  any ideas

i cant see it either thats whats happening.... im just copying and pasteing.. got everything figured out but this why is this such a pain for me.

Possibly b/c the name of the file at that link is "blockchain (1).bin" or "blockchain-unix-2014-05-08.bin"?

[falsealarm_bf]

I am baffled by the complete lack of instructions for the software associated with this coin. Can someone put some instructions on how to get started with the wallet and mining? I am sure there is something within one of these 80+ pages but do we all have to reinvent the wheel?

OK, I ate my own words after looking at monero.cc.

So if one can't see the distribution of this coin how do we know there wasn't a giant premine or some way for the devs to just "counterfeit" coins en masse?

These are two different things. By distribution, we mean how are coins distributed across addresses. That's relatively meaningless with stealth addressing implemented.

But there is still a blockchain so you can check the blocks yourself to see when the chain started and how many coins the blocks produced. This is no different from Bitcoin or any Bitcoin clone.

It was linked under "Getting Started" in the OP.

To answer that question, we must first establish what you mean by "premine".  Mining has been available to the community from inception.  That is the opposite of what is usually meant by "premine".  The community was small at inception, but grew very rapidly.  These facts are easily learned by reviewing the forum history, the block chain.  I would be much more concerned that the bulk of the coins are likely being mined by botnets.

Easy, write the block chain explorer that hasn't yet bubbled up to the top of the development list for the devs that are working hard (and with no bounties) on implementing and extending a new to the most of us coin technology.  This crypto is not like btc so tools like a block explorer have to be created without the aide of copy and paste.  80 + pages of comments seem to make this fairly clear.

Too blunt?

You don't have to have a web-based blockchain explorer. Type "help" in the daemon and you can get the commands to print out blockchain data right on the terminal. An explorer doesn't give unaccessible information either here or in Bitcoin. It's just an aggregator.

[Keyboard-Mash]

I'd like to see a bounty raised for a block chain explorer. I don't think this is a dev issue as it doesn't really involve protocol changes. Let's leave the dev's to fixing their laundry list of more important things.

I'll put up 70 MRO toward a web-based block explorer.

I realize that we can get info from the daemon or wallet, but it will be convenient for those that do not have them open to instead be able to go to a website.
