Sorry again if this is a basic question but what is the best way of running a go build in the wallet folder with environment variables on mac? Is this done in the command line?
Thanks

I tried to run wallet -l to see if I could export a public address but it printed wallet: command not found.
Because you should be doing "./wallet -l"Should I try and make the wallet again from my mac with the environment variables to get this working?
sure April 06, 2018, 09:26:14 AM
Thanks for that.
I just tried the command chmod +x wallet and it printed changing permissions of wallet: Operation not pertmitted however when I tried ./wallet -h I did get a list of commands.

I then ran ./wallet -h and it printed illegal instruction.
Well, then you did not build it for arm architectureTry this one: http://gocoin.pl/devads/gocoin-wallet-1.9.4-arm.tar.gz
Just to see if it works.

lol I do know what cd is 
I guess I don't have much linux experience, I have cd'd onto the desktop (where the wallet is) I ran chmod +x wallet and it didn't print anything. I then ran ./wallet -h and it printed illegal instruction.
Thanks again for all help here would really like to get this working

it's a lot of explaining if you are on such level.
maye you have someone around who could help you with it.
it's pretty straight forward when you know basics about unix shell. or even DOS, for the matter.
I can only guess what's wrong.
Try
and then
make sure to first change dir (cd) to the folder where the wallet file is
but if you don't know what cd is, that's going to be a problem

So I have tried to run wallet -h in the command line and it says wallet:command not found. Does this mean I have done something incorrectly? Sorry if these questions seem basic I'm quite new to go and just wondering how to open or run the actual wallet. Thanks

It is command line only - you need to run it inside a terminal.
Don't run it from the desktop as you won't see what it prints.
For instructions on how to setup the wallet, read the manual: http://gocoin.pl/gocoin_manual_wallet.html

Thanks for your help with this. I have been able to get an executable file called wallet onto the raspberry pi. How would I initialise this wallet on the device? When I click it it says file is executable and I can click execute, execute in terminal or cancel.Having tried both execute and execute in terminal nothing seems to be happening.
Thanks again for your help and development of this program.

You don't need to build the wallet for your Raspberry Pi on Rasbian.
You can build it on any PC with a working go compiler.
Normally, when you do "go build" inside the wallet/ folder, it makes binary file for the host platform.
In order to build for another platform (Rasbian, in this case), just set the following environment variables:
Simply copy the binary to your raspberry pi file system and it should be ready to go.
Just mind that you may need to do "chmod +x wallet" on it, before running it for the first time.

Someone on r/BitcoinDiscussion (https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinDiscussion/comments/83wpxb/raspberry_pi_cold_storage/) suggested I use your tool Gocoin to make a cold storage wallet with my Raspberry Pi Zero. Oddly enough I have been learning Go recently so have a basic understanding of the language (which I assume will help). What are the first steps I need to take to get the relevant files on my Pi Zero? Is all I need Rasbian and a Go compiler? I assume I'll also need to get the wallet Github files on there? What's the best way of doing this? Sorry if these are pretty basic questions just looking for some pointers on getting started.
Thanks for making the tool it looks really useful and Go seems to be a versatile programming language.
Thanks in advance,
Adam

If anyone is interested, the (not yet tagged) version 1.9.4 of gocoin supports native segwit addresses (the ones in bech32 format).
I've used them for a couple of weeks already and they seem to have been working just fine.
Still, make sure to verify your signed transaction before broadcasting it.
Spending from a native segwit address might cut your transaction fee by as much as half - that's when you have your coins already deposited at a native segwit address.
Let me know if you need a help using it.
Basically "Segwit Deposit Addresses" for your existing (traditional) wallet are automatically shown in the Wallet tab of the web interface.
And you can enter bech32 encoded addresses in the MakeTX tab for output addresses.
Use the new version of wallet app to sign the transaction that either spends from or to a new (bech32 encoded) address.
Obviously, the backward compatible P2SH segwit address types are working as well, but that's a very old news (I think 1.9.0)
Still better to use the native segwit addresses (in bech32 format) as they make fairly cheaper transactions.
As for the moment you need the gocoin client to spend from your native segwit addresses.
It's because none of the block explorers used by balio tool supports fetching their balances yet.

What's up with xgox? Is the development still alive?....because people are dumping their stash without looking back as if there is a bad news on xgox.
What news is causing all the panic sell?

An important announcement, concerning the possible 2x fork next month.
Unlike the other self proclaimed bitcoin experts, my professional opinion is that miners do rule the bitcoin protocol.
A chain with the most POW is the one to follow - that's how the system has been designed and that's the only way it can work securely.
Whether I like this fact or not is irrelevant.
It is somehow likely that starting from block #494784 the majority of the miners will choose to mine 2x bigger blocks.
That is why the current version of Gocoin (not yet tagged, but see the HEAD) is already made to accept 2x bigger blocks, starting from #494784.
If the fork does happen, the node will use the branch with a bigger POW - without discriminating any of the two consensus choices.
If the fork doesn't happen or in a longer term the 2x branch will not get the mining majority, the code consensus change will eventually get removed from the source code.
If anyone does not like it and want to stick to the old rules, you need to edit the file "lib/chain/chain.go" and comment out (remove) the line with:
[q]ch.Consensus.S2XHeight = 494784[/q]
Now, excuse me, I have to go buy some popcorn
Edit 11th Nov 2017:
Fork cancelled - consensus changes removed.

You need at least 8 GB of RAM.
I'm unaware of any raspberry pi having that much.
As soon as you have a Linux board with that much ram, there should be no problem to run gocoin there.
It is possible, but I'm not sure if anything like this (cheap arm cpu board with 8+GB of RAM) is available on the market.
As for the storage space requirement, you can purge blocks database regularly, in which case 16 GB of storage should be enough.
If you want to keep the entire block chain though, you need about 120 GB, as of today.

Hi Piotr, I saw your presentation at The Future of Bitcoin in Arnhem last week (I'm one of the Arnhem Bitcoincity organisers ) and that was awesome! Very interesting, you're doing great work!
I'd love to set up a new Bitcoin node using Gocoin. Would a Raspberry Pi 3 with Ubuntu be sufficient? I assume it would need to have 16 GB of ram? (is that even possible?) And perhaps a 256 or 512 GB SDcard? Or do you recommend something more powerful, e.g. a barebone miniPC?

How can I unban a peer?
You can start the client with -unban to unban all peers.
