I don't like /trust windows. I'm not new to ubuntu but i'm not great at getting myself through some of the setup's of some software, often some software doesn't work outa the box having to build and configure in terminal using guides. As long as it works i'm super happy xD And i will devote time to troubleshooting if the software is what i need or want to use.
the author has said this is exclusively setup for windows, talking with him is great, but meaning is lost in many of the technical procedures and words. I don't think he knows it should be possible to run the full qt wallet in linux/ubuntu. their expertise and focus is windows. I want to try to compile and maintain an ubuntu version for everyone as best i can.
I think with the author(s?) tenacious support, development and promotion, and soon a larger community, this coin will be important and helpful to many, not just profitable.
wine will execute the files and begin loading, but it looks for the vpn settings and can't find them. searches for the ports, can't find them and crashes. this seems to suggest i simply need to make/find the config file and place it where wine can see it?
I'm currently going through guides to setup qemu. But wine may be the easiest first route for all. just to get a vm of windows so things get going while we/i work on compiling an ubuntu version. I'm thinking this may help me understand what needs to be done as well as contributing and earning something.
A google a few days ago dug up a post saying "build any coin wallets for any os, for ubuntu" despite searching for this i am having issues finding that guide again.

People have taken the time to do this for previous versions. I'm wondering if i can honor those efforts and apply such things to the newer versions.
i'm not employed, when i was i often supported our family's food and other things...my dad was suppose to retire. But has resumed working after my job loss. 67 years old, No one else has a job but him now. i need to do more to help them. Corporate america will not do this. Or give long term employment.
cryptocurrency is something i believe in and wish to devote time to. More then just earning it.
