5 BTC Bounty for Windows and Linux Gitian build instructions
I'm running Windows XP and Ubuntu on VMWare with a clean install. I'll pay 5 BTC to whoever enables me to build a working bitcoin and bitcoind binaries from latest 0.4 source.
I need a complete step-by-step guide for what I need to download, what commands I need to run, etc. This includes installing dev libraries, ruby, gitian, setting up qemu 64 and 32 bit VMs etc.
I was looking for something like this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5851.msg86700#msg86700
If you can only do Windows or Ubuntu, then you'll get 2.5 BTC for your efforts.
Thanks.

Re: Build virtual machines (Amazon EC2 ami images for 0.3.20)
0.3.24 Linux/Windows releases weren't built on EC2, but was built on 'gitian' virtual machines (lookup trusted build process here for more info, or get in touch with devrandom).
Thanks for your response.
The reason I asked about EC2 is because I couldn't find step-by-step tutorial to build using Gitian (under Win or Linux). Seems like a great idea, but it appears the building steps are spread out across many posts/readmes/webpages so I'm struggling to make sense of it all.

Are there new EC2 AMI for the latest bitcoin builds?
Anyone? Thanks
There is no reason not to keep going with solidcoin as an open source project. The bugs have been fixed. Quit taking your hate about a developer too far. Hes arrogant and an asshole, but the software is now fine to use and many people wish to continue it. He is not the head of the project anymore with this open source release. Mining pools should open back up and other exchanges that closed should open up again.
How are you so sure Solidcoin is "now fine"? The one and only developer is adding other people's untested commits to the original Bitcoin client and adding his own sauce.
For example, how long was the testing period between when 1.04 was implemented and released?
Advertising Solidcoin as a safer alternative to Bitcoin is a specious.
so alternate forks should be promoted to a certain degree where they are providing solutions and further data to analyse to determine the best values for these, having only a single chain is like having all our eggs in one basket.
And why should Gavin actively promote *coins? He probably has a bunch of btcs so he's incentive is to promote Bitcoin, not other chains.
Solidcoin is set up in a manner to improve general adoption by trying out parameters that could help enable businesses to be more willing to use cryptocurrency and help end users have a better and safer experience,
By adding other people's untested patches and randomly adding their own stuff with no peer review? That isn't aligned with common business practices. Parroting Coinhunter's FUD doesn't make it true.
An interface with a nice icon and a bigger font for the wallet total does not make for more adoption long term. A safer, more scalable client does. And that's what Gavin is focusing on. It doesn't matter how pretty your safe is, if it can be broken into with a butter knife.
Face it, Solidcoin was a interesting attempt but hubris and lack of testing killed it. You're better of with i0coin/ixcoin as they have less changes to the original Bitcoin client.
Re: Discussion between SolidCoin Founder and Gavin Andresen
I'm not surprised by RealSolid's attitude.
It reflects perfectly the FUD articles on solidcoin.info about the "top-5 reasons" and "Ready for Bitcoin collapse" on why solidcoin was so much better than bitcoin/ixcoin/i0coin.
Releasing untested 'improvements' (taken from commits from other bitcoin developers I might add) does not make for a more secure network. The recent attack proves this clearly.

Well I dropped my full 60 GH/s farm on SC since it started. Solid Coin consistently stays between 1.1 to 2.4 times more profitable to mine than BTC.
You're acting like 95% of the people that are in Bitcoin aren't here for pure unadulterated profit! I have no problem admitting it. I could careless about Bitcoin or any digital currency.
Ixcoin, I0coin, Shitcoin, Schmitcoin or Bitcoin has a ZERO future period unless instant transfer becomes a reality.
I'm just thankfull that Magical Tux has created the "Magic The Gathering of Dumbasses" that will part with USD for it. LOL!!!!
It appears to me that investing in a 60GH/s farm makes you heavily invested in *coins success. So I'd say you care. A lot.
There are plenty of technical ways to get around instant transfers (which are being worked on), so that argument doesn't really hold.
Also, only a fraction of transactions need to be realtime. A 10 minutes to 1 hour or more delay is acceptable for many ecommerce purposes for example.
[Edit] You said: "I never heard of him running with someone's cash"
I think that was the sentence that killed it for me. He ran away with desperate people's cash after offering them a mortgage service that he had no intention of keeping. He was tried in absentia, and he has not paid the money that he was ordered to by the courts nor did he pay a penny in compensation to his victims.

What I know of Bruce is what he did for the past months in Bitcoin, and I never had any report of Bruce stealing anything from anyone during that time frame.
As I said, we do not have enough information at this point to make any decision, especially when it comes to Bold Funding. We are still investigating this on our own and will provide updates once we reach a conclusion.

Not so sure it's immune to being taken offline. But probably safer than a .com

Maybe some form a minimal bitcoin deposit which is refunded after a bit could work too. A sort of fasttrack registration.
A small portion could be kept by bitcointalk to pay for server maintenance.
My two cents.
