Looks like someone else has my problem.

Maybe when Maverick comes out someone could take the time to compile it (unfortunately I don't have any clue how to do this).

I'll wait til I can get it to compile myself... This doesn't seem like the kind of thing I'd want to use some untrusted - no offense - third party's binaries for.
It's written in Python, so it's interpreted, not compiled. All of the source code is inside the .app, completely without obfuscation.
I have also written instructions on the wiki in order to run it yourself. https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Compiling_instructions#OS_X
I have simply posted this .app bundle for convenience.
I recommend compiling your own .app once you get everything working. This can be done by running ./osx.sh in the PyBitmessage directory.

Snow Leopard

wanted to upgrade lately but then I saw the keynote about Maverick and decided to wait a few more months Wink

That explains it. As far as I know, this only runs on Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

Thanks for your help. But I'm gonna wait until a stable app will be available.


Yeah. This one is no where near stable.

Ok, I downloaded it. Opened the dmg (contains only the app, no installer or anything else) and draged it to the program folder.
When I tried starting it a mac popup asked to accept incoming connections => ok
Program never started but crashed before anything else happend. Tried it several times...always crashed.

(Using MPB Pro / Snowleopard / all current updates).

So I am pretty annoyed...not only doesn't it work but now I am worried that there is yet another shit on my mac possibly compromising security.

 Embarrassed
Oh. Sorry.
Here, try these instructions: https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Compiling_instructions#OS_X
They were written by me.

Why is tis only available on their site and not on github or sorceforge?

https://bitmessage.org/forum/index.php/topic,1690.0.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitmessagemac/files/

Do you think one can use this new all-in-one solution without any concerns?

Thanks!
Because there is no special code going into it. I have simply run Py2App and bundled all everything needed into a single .app. Personally, I use the python source fresh from Github.
But this is easier to get started with as you don't have to install anything prior to using it.

Does the mac version run without installing anything else
or do need to install additional stuff?

thanks.
No. This version has all the requirements (correct Python, OpenSSL, PyQt) bundled in.
