Get client working, generate addresses, then verify that Skycoin transactions are working

For Windows:
   
Install virtual box
get mint with mate desktop
install

Linux:
   
For APT based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, ...) type :

sudo apt-get install curl git mercurial make binutils gcc bzr bison libgmp3-dev -y

OSX:
brew install mercurial bzr


Setup Skycoin:

Open a terminal window and type :

git clone https://github.com/skycoin/skycoin.git
cd skycoin
./setup

The last command will install a Go version manager and the current Go version, it will also take care of downloading all the dependencies.
Now it is setup

Generating Addresses, public keys, private keys:

To get help and options for the address generation command type in console :

go run ./cmd/address_gen/address_gen.go --help

To generate 5 addresses deterministically from a password seed :
   
go run ./cmd/address_gen/address_gen.go -seed="passphrase" -n=5

The above command will print the public key, the private key and the address, if you only want to show the addressess put the p and s parameters to false as in :
   
go run ./cmd/address_gen/address_gen.go -seed="passphrase" -n=5 -p=false -s=false

Deterministic wallets are good, because you cannot lose the private keys as long as you remember the password. however, you should use a good password, or a random SHA256 hash and write it down somewhere

A good password may be some (more than 12) space separated random words, this is both strong and convenient for storage purposes (printed), it will also be easier to type if required at some point. Please do note that in the example code passphrase is used, but wouldn't be a good password candidate.

Running Skycoin Full Node:
   
go run ./cmd/skycoin/skycoin.go -web-interface=true
then goto: 127.0.0.1:6420
     
./run.sh


also, to generate wallets and pubkeys
go run ./cmd/address_gen

to run wallet (which is probably broken)
./run.sh

this coin is dead

For all the idiots out there. This coin was made on Coingen, it's another crap, clone, scam coin. There is no possible way that you can "delete" other alt coins unless you have their private key and/or you're a billionaire who can buy all the other alt coins and dispose of the private key, thereby making them inaccessible permanently, because deletecoin has no valure, and you have to place your trust in the hands of the devs, who will 100% surely stock up on those "shit" coins instead of deleting them, and instead sell them to gain themselves a profit. It's a scam.

This coin was created on Coingen.
This coin cannot do what it promised, it's literally impossible
This coin is a fail, move on.

Which version you are using and OS?

Ps: Take backup of your wallet first.  (.wallet file)

when will this coin be added into a Chinese exchange?

This coin has a good idea, should value much more than now

Waiting 24 hours and if nothing happens I am dumping by coins.

Is the coin abandoned?

I for one am glad of the changes, and for a developer who is willing to listen to the community and make the changes necessary to make the coin a success. Or would you rather a developer who left things as they were, or just abandoned the coin? If so, perhaps DeleteCoin isn't for you.

I think this coin has massive potential to shake up the market, so I'll be supporting it, and following its progress with great interest.

anybody? im really interested in this concept but don't really understand how it will all work
