That isn't true, i just try it and works fine on the last version of ubuntu.
You can download the compiled version from here:
https://github.com/kzcashteam/kzcash/releasesI tried the Cli version:
https://github.com/kzcashteam/kzcash/releases/download/v0.1.9.1/kzcash-0.1.9.1-cli-linux-ubuntu1604.tar.gz$ ls
kzcash-cli kzcashd kzcash-tx
x@x:~/kz$ ./kzcashd
And when i try the get info command it was running fine:
$ ./kzcash-cli getinfo
{
"version": 10901,
"protocolversion": 70207,
"walletversion": 10100,
"balance": 0.00000000,
"privatesend_balance": 0.00000000,
"blocks": 0,
"timeoffset": 0,
"connections": 0,
"proxy": "",
"difficulty": 0.000244140625,
"testnet": false,
"keypoololdest": 1707617624,
"keypoolsize": 1001,
"paytxfee": 0.00000000,
"relayfee": 0.00010000,
"errors": ""
}
So, you don't have to compile it, just download and run it.
