Topic: Built PPCoin-QT for Mac, Looking for Testers (Updated) (Read 1722 times)

yeah that`s true man.....

The PPcoin-qt.dmg link isn't working

Yes, I've built the daemon too. You can get it from:

ppcoind.zip (2.0 MB)
https://mega.co.nz/#!FIxTlSgR!DsFrWTqrQNA1NRIOwqbTT3ngTTEiLlDdeT5_zoDui-A
MD5 (ppcoind.zip) = a886c561352abbb273982e93c8df0356

It works fine for me, no issue so long.

First I tried to download ppcoin-qt with Opera on any OS, without success. Then with Camino on Mac, message says browser is too old. Last with Firefox on Ubuntu Linux, that worked fine.

Created wallet, downloaded blockchain, received some coins, configured some items, all went well.

Created receiving  addresses, encrypted the wallet, received some coins, sent some coins, works as known from other clients.

Is there a daemon like ppcoind on Ubuntu Linux? How can I identify it? I wished to mint PoS-blocks, if possible.

Much thanks, will give this a try and some feed back soon!

Sigh, go figure... If anyone hits this problem and doesn't have an alternative browser, please PM me and I'll send you a dropbox link. I don't want to give that link to everyone, but a few people will probably be ok.

Thanks Jeff, I'll give this a try soon.

Just a FYI here that may save some fellow Mac users some frustration:

Mega download links don't work on Safari/Mac yet (and won't really give you any error message).  Try Chrome or Firefox.

I'd planned on just sending this out to a few people who have expressed interest in testing the Mac Wallet, so if it doesn't work, it'll not work for just a few people. But what the heck, why not fail big? I'm still working through some distribution issues, but if you'd like to test the OSX wallet, it can be downloaded via the link below. There's no warranty implied here, I honestly don't know if it'll work on any machine other than my own.

If you try it, please post the model and OS of your machine and whether or not it works for you. If it fails, please also post what happens so that I can try to debug.

Very good to see this coming along.

I look forward to trying it out, thanks for your efforts.

Some early testers reported mixed results with my first build (works great on my machine! =P). I'm in the process of rebuilding some of the dependencies tonight (for example, it appears that current versions of boost do not work on i386 targets for OSX) and hope to be able to provide a new test build later tonight or tomorrow. Hang tight, the long wait for a PPCoin wallet on OSX may soon be over. =) To those of you who have already offered to test, I'll send you a PM when I have something for you, thanks for your interest! =)

Great to hear the Mac client is coming along!  Bought some PPC in anticipation 

I can test out your Mac binary on my MBP Retina as well as an iMac. Both are 64-bit though.

Thanks for making this available!

Kudos to Jeff for providing mac build support for ppcoin. Could you maybe host your build on e.g. sourceforge for now, so other users can start using it. Appreciate the hard work!

Update 2 (April 30, 2013) I've worked through my distribution issues. Please use the .dmg file below instead. FYI: safari does not currently work with Mega, so if you don't have an alternate browser installed, please contact me for an alternate link.


I will submit my changes to Sunny and contribute the build process to the wiki on github. Please still report your results of testing.

Some of you have expressed interest in donating a bounty for this wallet. While nobody should feel obligated to do so, if you wish to express a thanks in cryptocoins, any of the addresses below will go to me. Thanks in advance.


Update: (April 30, 2013) I'm pretty sure that I have a working app, although I'm still struggling with some distribution issues. If you would like to try it, please see the link below. I don't know that this will work, so no warranty is implied, use at your own risk. If you try it, please post your machine, os version, and any issues you encounter.
Important: mega downloads don't work in safari, if you don't have an alternate browser installed, please PM me for an alternate download link.


Hi folks. I've been hacking on ppcoin for Mac over the past week. Getting the daemon built was pretty straightforward, but the QT wallet took me a few days to fight through some QT configuration issues. Before I make this widely available (SunnyKing, please PM me), I'd like to talk with the maintainer of bitcoin-qt or litecoin-qt to check and make sure that my binary has the same level of compatibility as those clients. At the moment I've only been able to build the QT client for 64-bit OSX, but I'm hoping I can fix that with a rebuild of QT from source. If you're the person who builds the official QT client for BTC or LTC, please PM me so that I can just sync up and make sure I'm providing the same level of support you do. Thanks!
