BTCD is no more

Does anyone know how to install the wallet on ubuntu via command line?

Shablamo.  Pay particular attention to the note at the bottom of the page regarding installing on Ubuntu v11.10

https://github.com/laowais/bitcoindark/blob/master/doc/readme-qt.rst

*Note, I haven't actually performed an install on Ubuntu to date but plan on getting a full node up and running in the next day or two.

I have the wallet compiled / installed on Ubuntu and it was straightforward, so PM me if you're having issues

progress report
got some basic stuff to work with multiple nodes, but some very strange behavior with the builds where it is fine on one machine and on another sometimes fine, other times not

so, like trying to build something on a shaking foundation, the thing that must be done is find the cause of this strange behavior

now I even have two nearly identical builds, one working and one not on the same machine, so it is not anything about the system components.

some hundred more coins for me, that was a great night - gotta sleep now.

@james

u will figure it out!

you were right, I did

the problem was some incompatibility in the libuv library between the version I originally got some months ago and the latest. So I added the snapshot of the compatible libuv into libjl777. While I was at it, I figured I would remove the other external dependency by including the nacl source also.

Now there is a onetime script to run and after that all the required libraries are built.

The only thing I assume is that clang and curl are in the system.

Now I can build on all three servers and no mysterious crashes. Another problem was having an extern "C" function called from C++ into a dynamic .so library. I dont have time to solve the reasons for all these strange things, have enough of my code to debug. So, like the doctor says, if it hurts stop doing it. I work around these type of problems.

I found another issue with the latest BTCD daemon, but BTCDdev is tracking that down, so back to revalidating all the API calls

So are the mgwBTCD servers down right now due to your debugging? I have two deposits of 5 BTCD each that Poloniex said is complete, but they have not yet shown up in my assets on the AE.
I am in no hurry. Please be assured I will not stand in your way of progress.
Code on!

I have been making quite a few test builds (over 200 since Friday) and during this the status of MGW servers are unknown. I will try to make it so that when I am not debugging that I will get the MGW in a decent state

if deposits are on the blockchain, it is there not worries, just need the MGW to scan it

Was wondering the same thing. Thanks for clearing this up James.

I hadn't appreciated the role that the new BTCD wallet will play in SuperNET. As I now understand it, SuperNET will be available through this wallet (reskinned NXT to offer all the added features), not via a separate client. This is great if it's true

Can anyone also say whether it will be capable of holding BBR and BTC as well as NXT and BTCD via associated addresses - and if so whether this will require downloading multiple blockchains or whether a lightweight client will be used for any (like blockchain.info)?

Would love to see a list of planned features if it's available somewhere.

I have the older version of the windows wallet on my laptop. it shows 16 connections to the network.
I have installed the latest version on another PC, I have placed all nodes in bitcoindark.conf but can't make it connect.
it shows 0 connections
I have restarted the wallet several times and windows firewall is off.

What can I do?

Sometimes, it takes time to connect. If everything else seems fine, keep the wallet open for min 30 minutes and wait until it gets connected.

If it doesn't work at all, you can keep using the old wallet file as well.

Hopefully soon we will get the upgraded NXT inside wallet.

yes, I think it needs time.
I just want to transfer all my btcd into another wallet and then back to the old into one address

Why don't you just send it all to yourself from the first one?

I have tried to do that on another coin's wallet and all coins stuck there unconfirmed for ever (0 confirmations)

while staking, I received a "mined" transaction which never confirmed for days and says "generated but not accepted"
What is this?

This is an orphaned block. Same block been accepted from another node before your submisson. This happens sometimes. I got one yesterday.

The price just keeps dropping 

Hopefully some good news soon, keep up the great work Team BTCD.

It's inevitable to have price fluctuations... that is perfectly normal...

But remember the time when people were cashing out with bitcoin on $4 and then bragging around that they are awsome traders...

This is a bumpy road

I bought my 52 BTCDs @0.01479063 BTC and I added some more @0.01270100 BTC.  It'll really be losses if the price is still dropping down and wont rise back to the price I was bought.  Now, I have to focus more in trading my ltc and Darkcoin to replenish my losses if the price wont rise.

Well, if you are going to day trade, that's how it goes. I am more of a value investor.

If we get many more worried comments about losing money it will signal only one thing. ... Time to buy!
