I am currently learning Node.js and have set up a Node.js instance that I believe runs Smart OS.
I have downloaded the bitcoin source, but am having trouble installing and running bitcoind.
Does anyone have instructions to set it up on Smart OS?
From what I can see, SmartOS is an OS designed for Node.
I think it's unlikely you'll get the required libraries to work on SmartOS, and I don't know if there's a real compiler and dev tools available for it.
You'd be best running bitcoind on an alternate GNU/Linux server, and connecting to it from your SmartOS instance.
Note: if it's not on the same network, you'll want to set up RPCSSL or your connection could be compromised.
