Ah excellent, those all sound like super practical solutions to me Nice one

As a slight addendum looks like I still need to download a pile of dependencies for the Linux distribution

as discussed here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=951753.msg31932663#msg31932663


Any chance we can get these compiled into the new Linux release before we come out of Alpha? It will save support questions / new user frustration in the long run if it just "works" out of the box...

FR

Indeed, just for setting this option... So no, not that I could see, tho I haven attempted staking in Alpha 4 just yet...

Hi CBX team

Just running the new Linux version (Alpha4) of the wallet released above - after a bit of fiddling managed to get a repeatable

Segmentation Fault (Core dumped)

error message by exiting the wallet during synchronisation - It re-started ok and after a re-scan I was back in business

I seem to be able to trigger the Seg fault by going into Settings, Options and selecting 'Show Master Nodes Tab' - quitting the wallet at this point repeatably raises the described segmentation fault on the command line

Nothing more useful in the debug log i'm afraid, but defo an unhanded exception somewhere - might be to do with the omission of the BPN stuff but regardless a seg fault it never a welcome error at any point of development

Home that helps squash a potential bug or two

Cheers

Looks like there a number of dependency issues running on a clean/patched install of Ubuntu, detailed below (along with the "quick" fixes) - would be good to publish an official breakdown of what you need to install to get up and running...

-> sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
(overkill I feel)

-> sudo apt-get install libqrencode3

-> sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
-> sudo apt-get update
-> sudo apt-get install -y libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
(this is a gross fix!)

FR

Perfect ready and waiting to test it

FR

Is there Linux build of the alpha?

My two cents:

Surely the base insentive here is to reward the most stable/reliable BPN nodes, always online always processing transactions - without fail. If you have a flaky connection or are about to move house I would suggest you set up some proper infrastructure to host your BPN (Amazon, Azure etc...) The amount of money you can make from running a BPN will/could well go above and beyond a hobbyist crypto-staker and as such it would be inappropriate or unrealistic to think you could casually just run it on your old laptop whilst making a small fortune. - Aside from up-time and high reliability what about security? (physical and digital), what about backup and disaster recovery? - when the money gets serious the old laptop in the cupboard approach will not do, some bitcoin mines have diesel generators on standby and even employ guards to protect their assets!

If running a BPN is not for you then feel free to stake, it's not as profitable however its still free money

I like the idea of a limited queue, it fosters competition to "be the best", you deploy the most stable/reliable infrastructure you can muster and wait your turn, it might take a few months to grab a place in the queue but if it takes 4-8 months to be in a position to make thousands a day for basically doing nothing then I think I can wait...

FR

Top notch reply Alex! thanks - sounds super cool and definitely some good USP as I've never heard of that being done before!

Cheers

FR

That all sounds very cool! I am interested on how you intend to limit the number of BPNs active on the network at any one time? - that can't be easy as the information would have to gleaned from network consensus and not a local count as anyone could easy change the source and increase the number of BPNs online at any one time...

FR

Price drop! Nice - buying more!

If we want Bullion to be taken seriously by real investors we should not go down the anonymity route. There are plenty of coins out there that can fulfill this niche, CBX should not be one of them.

I say focus on doing one thing and one thing well, a store of wealth, a port in the next storm, don't dilute the coins USP by adding somewhat faddy functions that will likely make it far less attractive to future investors when crypto regulation becomes mainstream

FR

Good, re-brand ho!

Would be REALLY good to have a info graphic that give an example of the rate of return for owning 2000 CBX and running a masternode - assuming a conservative $100 per coin valuation - I just did the maths and its really quite something  - hell you could retire on it!

We need to spread this info, people will go nuts

FR

Got mine

At $250 that's about $10 a block for doing sweet FA other than staking :O

All time high of 6.70 USD!

Damn. If the new vault release is timed well / thunder-clapped correctly online we could be looking at $50 to $100 easy 

Been playing with the hue of the new logo:

Really like the red and orange variant above - perhaps we could have different colours depending on wallet distribution

Windows has blue logo
Linux has red logo
Android has purple logo

Something like that...

Good stuff

I'm curious but have you tested/profiled both the Linux and Windows version for RAM usage? From what I remember the old memory leak was only present in the Linux compilation...

FR

Oh. Hello
