Sunny King, any updates on what's being done with development for ppcoin and an official GUI? Or anything about potential changes to the framework or blockchain you might be considering down the road? I also think some changes to make the website more appealing and navigable would be good to attract new users, any thoughts on this? I keep up with the weekly updates but I feel those have recently been just about difficulty and valuation, not about development or plans for the future.

Christian Eisenberg seems to be beta testing at http://www.cryptocoinsend.com/ where you can send ppcoin (and litecoin) to anybody via email.
Gratz to Christian

thank you for the mention
its true. unfortunately this week i dont have time for this project 
too many daywork todo. i will give my best! there is also www.cryptocoincharts.info which i made. with some PPC charts!

New Difficulty record: 30 130 
Massive jump started on 28/29 when BTC halved and it's mining became close to 2x less profitable than mining PPC and 2.2 x less profitable than LTC

one more "requirement" in doc/readme-qt.rst is the "libdb4.8++-dev"
Why not use the latest available?
Code:
First, make sure that the required packages for Qt4 development of your
distribution are installed, for Debian and Ubuntu these are:
::
apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev
distribution are installed, for Debian and Ubuntu these are:
::
apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev
Why not use the latest available?
Trying to univocally determine libdb isn't a bad idea because it could lead to compatibility and portability issues. If you open your wallet with a newer libdb, it will upgrade the wallet's db version and it will stop working with previous versions. That's why libdb version usually is determined, and even statically linked.

i do really love PPC but WHY is there no QT GUI for linux?
has somebody compiled this thing? i would give away some coins for this! lets say 1000 PPC?
but WHY is there no QT GUI for linux?has somebody compiled this thing? i would give away some coins for this! lets say 1000 PPC?
I have it running on my PC (KDE) as I write this. Looks good too.
The way I do it:
1. Download and install QT creator through whatever software manager your distro uses.
2. Start up QT creator and have it open the bitcoin-qt.pro file in the ppcoin.../src folder.
3. Have QT creator then build (The hammer icon on the bottom) the binary. You can ignore the warnings, the base bitcoin client takes many liberties when it comes to programming technique, and most compilers will give warning like crazy. You will need to worry about errors as they stop the compiling process. You may need to install some dependencies. They are listed in the install read me for Linux.
4. After successful compiling you should have your QT binary ready to go.
I must be missing something here.
All I did was:
Code:
$ qmake
$ make
$ make
Nope, your not missing anything. My thought is if somebody is having compilation problems, it can be easier to point them to a GUI app then command line utilities.
The GUI app will tend to give out more information and hints on how to solve the errors. The command line std. outputs can be quite cryptic, especially when trying to sift through all the "warnings" vs. errors
Anyway, qmake-make is just fine, in fact QT creator uses both those utilities to compile. I just try and peel back one layer of difficulty for somebody already having problems.

just sent you 1000 PPC
November 28, 2012, 02:22:12 PM
thank you very very much!! its working. right now its downloading the data. i will try to get some coins on it
what is your PPC address? to send you the coins??
its working. right now its downloading the data. i will try to get some coins on itwhat is your PPC address? to send you the coins??

FYI
Bitcoin reached 210000th block a moment ago and bitcoin mint rate has halved to 25 btc per block. Coinotron is now showing 1.84 profitability for ppcoin so proof-of-work difficulty is expected to rise from here (currently around 18000).
Congratulations to bitcoin

my linux installation is old and i havent done any updates sind some months/years never change a running system.
litecoin qt is working out of the box on the system. why its not possible to provide the same qt gui for ppc? i am really not good at compiling

Try out this one, it's compiled and linked against an older set of libraries, so it should work on a broader set of os's versions:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_fyMTbLGLc3Wm1IQTFkZjQ1LXc
November 27, 2012, 03:58:58 PM
thanks for the link but unfortunately it isnt working
Code:
./ppcoin-qt: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./ppcoin-qt)
Your libstdc++ version may not be up to date...

What's your dist and version?
You should get, at the very least, the security updates...

You can try this one, if your OS has 64 bits capabilities:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_fyMTbLGLc3aUFEZlhVUjB1Zkk
Backup your wallet before trying, because they're no guarantees of any kind...

You will probably have to update, PPC is based on a later version of the BTC client then LTC. "never change a running system" is not really good advice, there are constant security updates (Yes, even for Linux) that should at minimum be applied.
libstdc++ is at the heart of the programming language that almost all the coin clients are written in, so you may have to give in and update it.
If you do not want to update, which is completely up to you, you may find more and more problems with current software running as most of the time later versions of software require current libraries and includes.
of course you are right! but thats my working machine for everyday work (always the same tasks) and no running services which are connected to the internet. so i think the risk of not updating is very low. the risk of inproductivity due to not working software because of updates is higher i guess
ok i think i have to install a virtual machine or something else...
