Topic: BTCD is no more - page 461. (Read 1328490 times)

I have curl installed (that's an old error post), I have libboost-all-dev installed, I see nothing in CMakeLists.txt about using static libs.  Sorry don't think i can burn any more time on this now.  I guess I'll just wait until other people figure it out.

Its ok, like waves. goes up, goes down.
They key is if the tide is rising or not.
Need to average the waves to check this

how can these people just keep dumping......

Long term that could be the preferred solution to simplify the architecture, but I want to get something out sooner rather than later so I plan on doing a "soft merge", so they both coexist. Then again I might just get a flash of insight on how to do something totally original and solve the fundamental problem of privacy. That's really what this is about. If I can create a privacy solution that passes peer review, then the exact algo is not so relevant.

BitcoinDark is committed to continue to advance privacy tech while at the same time providing other valuable services all in a user friendly environment. So, currently ring signatures look very good, but zerocoin threatens to come out with zerocash and if they actually do and their zeroknowledge stuff is really as good as they say, it would make sense to integrate that into BitcoinDark. I like to have different privacy levels, so maybe basic level uses mixing, corporate level uses ring signatures, advanced uses zerocash and total-invisibility level combines all of them.

I want people to be able to choose BitcoinDark and then not have to worry about whether it was the right tech choice. BTCD will be like the Borg, we will assimilate all useful tech. If I made a mistake (I do this on occasion) and made the wrong selection, then I will simply correct it and pop in the better algo.

So things are evolving and will continue to evolve. Privacy tech is like antivirus tech. As soon as you reach a certain level of privacy, attackers start attacking and it is prudent to improve the algorithms.

Quick glance, try to install the -dev package for static libs... you might only have the .so's and not the .libs

better to ensure you arent compiling a static target... its not a good idea. Better to build dynamically, remove -static from the makefile if its there.

Also you are missing lib curl package aswell.

1.55?

You might try to install a vanilla BBR first. That would get all the compiler dependencies out of the way, then pNXTd will build

Interesting, so you're attempting to merge CryptoNote and conventional bitcoin technologies?

Still no joy :/
It's basically complaining about not being able to find the static boost libraries.  I don't think I can downgrade to an earlier version either as they dont seem to be available for Ubuntu 14.  How annoying!

I am exploring various approaches, but have not decided on the final form yet

I am starting with the assumption that the user will simply want to go "privateSend" and then all the algos crunch away and after some time passes, the funds are available to the receiver.

If you look at my discussion thread with AnonyMint, the ring signature idea is actually very similar to the plan I initially had. At the time I wasnt aware of the ring signatures. Now that I am and also have already made a cryptonote fork, I am getting closer to being able to make the right choice. I do have one approach where I extracted the core ring signature algo in isolation and if I can surgically insert that into BTCD core, then it would be the cleanest approach, but would definitely take longer.

So, the question is do we want something that is available sooner, but does a two step process with a pNXT conduit, or takes longer and will need a LOT of testing with a pure merging of ring signatures into BTCD.

For now I am keeping my options open and implementing the things that either approach requires. It also fills out more of the "jigsaw puzzle" and the more of the puzzle pieces have their place known, the less unknown and the easier for someone like me to pop in the next piece. So as long as I can keep making incremental progress, then eventually at some point I am done

Pretty scientific isnt it
The basic theory is that if you have a problem P and can reduce its complexity to P-- and you can keep doing this, eventually it becomes "p" and I finish it in a day

How will CryptoNote technologies be incorporated into this coin?

The Dark Zone

Or

The Dark Side

or

The Dark Portal

you have to install curl and it seems there is a boost issue...
I hate boost, so hard to install
maybe revert to 1.53? Just need to get the ubuntu to recognize the boost and I think it will work

James

P.S. You did do a "cmake .." from the pNXT/src directory?

i tested dark.poolx.ca  as well with 1Ths mining for 24hrs and only get 3 btcd
and max getting pay with 10 btcd in 24hrs

and its not worth so better use your sha-256 rig  to mine BTC instead of BTCD
if any pool can give promise could mine more margin then mining BTC msg me as i have  500 Ths rig miner in hand now mining btc at the moment

Still no joy... http://pastebin.com/ckV8FewS

I really recommend everyone read this. It will give you some insight into BitcoinDark and why this coin is going to do everything we have been promising! 

Hi all,

I am Torrn, one of the core devs on this project along with jl777, Azeh, and BTCDDev. I will be here to help out and update info as we develop.

The link below is a transcript of our Dev IRC discussion from yesterday. If you have any questions or ideas that are generated from the discussion, please let us know.

I'd argue it is what Bitcoin should have been 

Yep

I feel this is what dark should of been, but it had a lot of problems.  

Bitcoin dark is instamine free !

Plus better people behind the coin

It will take over 50 years to get there

Staking is how
