To bitfreak, I would like to say a sincere thank you for this contribution.  It seems to me the bitcoin community may have rushed to work on 2.0 apps before work was finished on a solid 1.0 money app.  A digital money that can scale to global use by billions of people (isn't that the goal?)... and IMO money is THE killer app in this space.  So thank you, bitfreak, for having your priorities straight!  Also, I still just don't trust PoS systems. After all, that's exactly what the Federal Reserve banking cartel is... a PoS system.

I'm running on an Arch Linux system, so I got the source code from GitHub and built it.  So far, cryptonite-qt seems to be running like a champ, it synced to the network very quickly (as compared to my experience with bitcoin-qt).  I even ran it with setgenerate turned on for about 16 hours with all four of my laptops CPUs cranking... but of course I didn't get any blocks.  I aquired some XCN on BTER to try out the wallet, but I want to ask a question first.

When running the configure step of the build, I got a warning about my Berkeley DB embedded database system version.  In fact, I had to rerun configure with the flag "--with-incompatible-bdb".  The build wants version 4.8, but on my system I have version 5.3.28-2.  How important is this?  Do I need to go to the trouble of rolling back my Berkeley DB to the older version?

Finally, I would like to offer to help out.  Is the BTC address on page one of this thread still valid for contributions?  I'll send what I can.  Also, I have about 18,000 LTB coin I am willing to donate if you find that useful (to go toward a sponsor token or for some other purpose).  Do you think it would be useful to repeat the XCN announcement on the LTB community forum to raise awareness?  I really want to see this succeed.
