you are the first person ive heard have troubles on ubuntu. what version of ubuntu are you running? prior to 16.04 might have some odd issues since most development has been done past 2016 and 14.04 is from 2014.
are you compiling for ubuntu with the autotools or the makefile?
are you compiling lynx yourself or running the appimage published to the website?
there is no QT wallet anymore. so, thats correct, it shouldnt compile.
yes, lynx is buggy. we are working on it. its something new to crypto in general and will probably have some bugs for a little while. in the end though it will be better for users than any of the qt wallets out there.
The coin has reached maximum supply. staking will only yield tx fees.
Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
A) I'm using Linux Mint 18.3 which is based on Ubuntu 16.04.
B) I have tried both ways:
1- Running make -f makefile.unix inside the src folder (as per the doc/build-unix.MD file).
2- Running ./autogen.sh followed by ./configure and make
After correcting some errors, the first one kinda works but of course only produces the "eccoind" file (no GUI wallet) and trying to call "eccoind" with "--help" argument results in a segmentation fault error.
The second one requires A LOT of fixes to make it work and even so it is still plagued by the same error as the first one.
C) I tried the Linux version of the appimage published on the website. Running it results in the following error:
execv error: No such file or directoryI am running it inside firejail (I don't run any wallet with full access to my files) but according the documentation from AppImage, any wallet should run fine from within firejail.
D) In my opinion, even if you find Lynx a great thing, you should provide a working wallet base on QT until Lynx is a viable choice.
Right now it is just a piece of bloated software full of errors. No one wants that.
E) I don't see
any rewards, not even transaction fees. Instead my balance goes down and Lynx shows less coins than what I bought (which seems to be just another bug of Lynx as the debug console shows my correct balance).
ive never tried to build a coin on mint (nor have i ever used mint) so anything platform specific i cant help you with there. there is no more gui code in the repo so yeah, it wont produce a gui wallet.
as for a base qt wallet... ill take a poll on that i suppose. thats not a bad idea.
the chances of getting a staking reward right now are very low. there are about 1800 blocks minted a day and less than 30 have tx fees in them due to current tx volumes. so thats probably the reason for that.
