[TEST RELEASE] Cryptonite binary for linux (NEW: Qt and Windows builds)

[billotronic]

Well I could be mistaken on this BUT I am pretty sure linux uses just one and windows two? I know for a fact about linux but do not use windows much for wallets and when I do it's never with flags. I usually rock a config file since those are cross platform/universal.

Ahh yes.  From my experience, that sounds right

[catia]

It just depends on the application. Windows apps typically use /, linux uses - or -- depending on whims of the author. In this case both linux/windows binaries use the same single -

I see, FWIW, I used "cryptonite-qt.exe --testnet" when I ran it on win7 and it worked.  When I initially ran it, I forgot to add testnet at all, and it didn't work.

Replaced old version of cryptonited from about 1 month ago with new version on Linux, and got this:

$ ./cryptonited -testnet -resync
Fail branch 4: 1341
Fail branch 4: 1363
Fail branch 4: 1385

Sorry if this is a noob-problem.  Ran the old version of cryptonited and it started up fine, but was on the wrong fork.

[catia]

It appears to be trying to read an old trie.dat file. Those are incompatible with new code. Not sure exactly why resync doesn't work. But just delete the data folder if you have really old stuff lying around.

[watuba]

Deleted everything in the cryptonite data directory and that worked, but now it won't sync.  It stays on block 32 in both cryptonited and cryptonite-qt Linux.  Here's some of what it displays in terminal:

are you sure you have the most current version? Only reason I ask is there were old versions that had that bug where it would get stuck on the blockchain

I used these links:
gpile.it/files/cryptonited
gpile.it/files/cryptonite-qt

Are those not the most up-to-date?

[billotronic]

aha! No sir, they are not

Go here http://gpile.it/cryptonite/ and download the most recent files for your OS

[watuba]

Man, I was intimidated by those new files.  I read through the thread and followed the steps, downloaded libboost, etc.  I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and downloaded the Saucy binary.  Got this error, googled it, still don't understand.  Gonna look into it more tomorrow:

$ ./saucy_amd64_cryptonite-qt_14071722 -testnet -resync
./saucy_amd64_cryptonite-qt_14071722: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.53.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[billotronic]

A neat trick I learned from this project is the ldd command. Put that in front of the binary and run it and will tell you if you meet the dependencies or not. Post what it shows and we get you up and running bud.

Awesome!  Here's what it outputs:

do you have libboost 1.53?

[catia]

Saucy is not even close to 12.04 it is 13.10. Maybe time for an upgrade?

[aaaxn]

Don't you think GUI should reflect how cryptonite works under the hood? GUI It should be more like traditional bank account: on main page list of accounts with balances, you select one you get list of transactions for that account (from, message, amount, balance after, date) and can send money from selected account, etc.

[bitfreak!]

Official website is now online: www.cryptonite.info

Note: website may be sluggish, we're working on it.

Pre-announcement coming very soon.

aaaxn: it's already possible to filter transactions by address or what ever else, but you do have a valid point about not having a great way to see a list of addresses and their balance. However when we get around to making the "coin control" UI work it will provide the ability to see a list of addresses and their balances and let you manually select which addresses you want to use as the inputs for a transaction. The other thing to keep in mind is that many people tend to prefer using web based wallets for daily transactions, so hopefully we'll see some nice web wallets appear sooner rather than later.

Very nice!

New binaries are up. Main change is that linux builds now have compiler optimizations turned on. Seems win64 has been that way for some time, whoops.

The plan is to continue testing all the way up until the July 28th release. A little code is still being written. Working on speeding up the consistency check on startup and cleaning up code here and there. Don't want any devs simultaneously having mind blown and throwing up. Also have some plans in the works to mitigate certain DoS vectors.

I wonder if this is because people really prefer web wallets or that original bitcoin client is painfully slow and requires a lot of storage. Maybe if p2p client was good enough there would be no need for everyone to use web wallet and network would be stronger and more decentralized. I bet this coin will be huge success, so there will be plenty of time and resources to polish gui later.

Great site and I am really impressed by quality of wiki. It really shows that all great features of this coin are for real and not just empty marketing.
