Thanks
Hi znffal, I answered your questions on reddit, you are pretty much all set up for using the biblepay, you juts need to get some more insights in how to use it
Hope my answers help, we may move this discussion to reddit from now on.Out of curiosity while I compile.. I had a question. Is the command below assigning the password = pwd to BBP root just so it can write in and out without issue?
BP_ROOT=$(pwd)
BP_ROOT=$(pwd)
No, BP_ROOT is not the root account, its the BiblePay Root Directory argument, and pwd is not the password, but the 'current working compile directory'. Its needed to make BerkleyDb4.8 work in linux. The reason we cant go to 5.1+ is we are staying with Bitcoin compatibility for the wallet format.
Wow.. i was way off! LOL. thank you for the explanation. Well along those lines, im still tech. challenged. I have installed the linux miner on 4 computers.
Using the instructions on Reddit, line for line.. 2 of them worked and 2 of them give me this error when trying to launch the GUI
m4tsby@LinuxLiteOpterons:~/biblepay$ cd src
m4tsby@LinuxLiteOpterons:~/biblepay/src$ cd qt
m4tsby@LinuxLiteOpterons:~/biblepay/src/qt$ ./biblepay-qt
bash: ./biblepay-qt: No such file or directory
How that can be with all distros being basically the same, all deb based?
These instructions were followed - Note: GUI will be built automatically only if you meet the requirements for qt library, i.e. make sure you ran this line before compiling:
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
Hi m4tsby,
You probably haven't had met the requirements for building GUI. Run the apt-get line again:
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
And make sure that you have no errors in the output. You probably will have some - when you resolve them and have successfully installed these libraries just rebuild the biblepay.
If you have additional problems, we should probably move this discussion to reddit (linux install thread) in order not to clutter this forum here.
I've got plenty of BBP on the Testnet. I'll start working on a few things in the next couple days. One issue to consider on new is copyright. So for now, I would suggest self contained help articles and the like should be the goal, with a bit of time to determine what exactly "fair use" can be held. Also, since the block chain is immutable, some sort of vetting will be critical.
Sorry to be so quiet the last few days, been a rough week here.

Yeah, go ahead and find out how copyright will work, Im sure there must be a way to legally create news articles that are picked up by multiple stations. For one we would encourage paraphrasing and original non copyrighted images.
As far as immutable, we will eventually have upvote/downvote, and we charge a fee for publishing. If it ever becomes a problem we could potentially make an escrow requirement, and "spend" the escrow if someone posts something very negative (like walls of swear words as an article).
Hi dev and comunity, reading about this upvote/downvote feature got me thinking about the letter writing to orphans. Maybe we should prioritize integrating the process of letter writing and approving in the wallet itself? Currently it is only being done in the pool, and I think that people just never go to that section and are not even aware of this feature.
I am new to the project, so I haven't went through the code, but maybe writing letters could be implemented as a special kind of "news article" that will also go in the block chain and be voted on in the wallet itself (and then automatically sent if approved).
Even thou i like the new news article feature, frankly I think that we are kind of behind with the letter writing to the orphans we sponsor and we should probably think about how to make it easier for an average user to do it. Here, I am just giving and idea how we may reuse this new feature for this purpose. After all we are a charitable community in the first place.
All the best to fellow biblers.
First I want to compliment the dev and other contributors for this great and original coin. I will try to help where I can.
For start, I have written an instruction for how to use Biblepay GUI on Linux (it was not obvious for me in the beginning - i thought there was no GUI on Linux). Its in the Reddit comment on original Linux instructions, hope it will help other Linux Biblers:
