I really appreciate your advice but don't really feel comfortable with this type of experimentation.
Is there anyone here who has already installed the GUI on Ubuntu? Could you provide me instructions step by step?
I know you got this sorted out, but If you ever want to build the gui yourself, you don't need to change the file. Following
http://boolberry.com/howto.html#build_gui you just
mkdir -p build/release; cd build/release
cmake -D BUILD_GUI=TRUE -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/user/Qt/5.3/gcc_64 -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..
make qt-boolb
That would put the binary in build/release/src as qt-boolb. What I do is go into that directory and run
cp -r ../../../src/gui/qt-daemon/html .
then you can run
./qt-boolb
Hi Folk!
We (Clintar and me) made some db code, which seems to work fine. (we made some tests on clintar's backend).
This code take part of blockchain data (blockchain.bin) and store it in leveldb database. Is things gonna be ok we'll move the rest of data into leveldb database.
Anyone who interested to reduce memory usage in Boolberry daemon, could try to use code from "db" branch for test.
Thanks for any feedback.

PS: Many thanks to Clintar for helping, supporting and even coding Boolberry!
Just for information's sake, when testing this out, memory usage can remain high since it caches the database for speed, until system gets squeezed for memory (like say compiling the daemon again with -j4). The daemon will let go if there is memory contention. I've seen it get down to like 160 MB used.
P.S. My previous clintar account got banned because I forgot my password and tried to log in using my security question I think. I could never get a mod to answer at the email address it told me to send to, so I'm clintar2 now, I guess.
Thanks again. I am learning slowly. From the instructions you cited this was the confusing part:
1. Download Qt Installer from website:
http://qt-project.org/downloads, add executable attribute to it, and run, follow instructions.
2. Install additional tools:
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev libdrm-dev
For newcomers it may help to define exactly how to "add executable attribute to it and run"
I am sure these things will become easy for me in time. Right now I still have to Google everything or ask questions. I am paranoid about messing something up
