I ended up with a cli wallet and no QT stuff... I used the zip link on the front page and compiled.
It seems to have two different parts - boltd is the server and bolt-cli takes the commands that boltd should.
At the moment I'm trying yet another version of blake algo with cgminer to see if I have the right one to mine.
Try
./bolt-cli getnewaddress
Thanks guys - that should do it - I also found this in a DASH setup guide:
dash-cli getaccountaddress 0
I'll try that if getnewaddress fails
Hello, Broke. How you going?
You can use bolt-cli getaccountaddress 0 to get your first account address or use bolt-cli getnewaddress to generate a new one! Besides, we have feature to send private coins, but I need to write up an article teaching how to do it

Enjoy!
