How much demand is there for an OSX wallet?
Well I know I want one, lol.
im definately chasing one. ive got coins sitting in limbo because my first wallet didnt sync. any ideas how to get it syncing??
What OS are you running. I had no issues with latest OSX syncing.
That's good enough for me to bump it up in my schedule.
you guys might have better luck in stalling parallels on your macs, then running a vm of ubuntu or debian 7.4. once you get all the dependencies installed, which are very handily listed in the readme for every wallet, the wallets install 95% of the time. Cinni wallet compiled with no issues on debian.
linux is only scary because it's unfamiliar to you. just a little reading of the tons of documentation, and most anyone can pick up enough to compile a wallet.
Why would they need to compile the wallets themselves?
why compile themselves? well, the reason i compile myself is, i don't trust people. i especially don't trust people when it comes to money. i take it you didn't see the latest rash of exchanges/pools to go down because of a rootkit inserted into DaFuqCoin's wallet source code? same can happen very easily with pre-compiled wallets.
the root kit wallets require the wallet to be compiled as root, which is a big no-no.
compiling your own wallet is just another step towards keeping your coins safe. in the crypto world, it appears you can't be too safe.
