Re: [ANN] BitcoinDark (BTCD)--Teleport/Ramchains/SuperNET Core/Dividends/Gen 1.5
To any Macintosh BTCD wallet newbies, here is a specific guide to get you going:
1. For some reason, the wallet will not open when downloaded with Safari. We have tried this on several machines and several versions, and every Safari download gives you a dead duck of a file, so YOU MUST USE EITHER CHROME OR FIREFOX TO DOWNLOAD THE WALLET (perhaps other browsers work, but we are certain Chrome and Firefox do).
2. Once launching the downloaded DMG file, drag the BTCD app into your "Applications" folder.
3. Open the app and let it fully open. You are only opening it this time to create the system directories necessary to run the wallet. After it opens and the wallet appears, you should then quit the app. The system files have now been created to run the app. Now, we will manually create a .conf file for the app.

Thank you very much for pointing me to the tutorial!
i downloaded the wallet with Chrome. The problem is that the client does not load fully. The BTCD wallet icon shortly appears in the dock and then closes automatically. For that reason, there have not been created any system files.
Here is the crash report.
