Seems difficult huh?
busterzzz is making a valid point. The current official Monero binaries are over one year old, require over 9.2 GB of RAM, a 64bit processor and OS, and crash every few days. If one actually compiles from source then of course the situation is radically improved one actually gets a very lean, robust and efficient cli wallet that when synchronized requires approximately 100 MB of RAM. It also runs on both 32bit and 64 bit processors and operating systems.
Monero is a very actively developed coin where a major rewrite of the code has occurred over the last year, but in order to benefit from this
one has to compile the code from source.
Edit: This is the real place to get Monero software;
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmoneroI probably shouldn't act in a passive aggressive manner I'm just over it (both parties involved). I would rather see discussion that is positive and collaborative. I've tried to express this before but got shot down.
Anyways I'm *going to attempt to compile monero from source again, as I am not that much of a layman I can give it a try using the link you pasted above. I will report back honestly and fairly because its best if I give this another go instead of giving up. Divide and Conquer, some other group of people will come out on top while people sit here arguing about bs.
*edit 1 typo

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12033096sudo apt-get install git gcc-4.9 cmake libunbound2 libevent-2.0-5 libgtest-dev libboost1.55-dev
gives me
Package libboost1.55-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libboost1.55-dev' has no installation candidate
sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev
gives me
E: Unable to locate package libboost1.55-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost1.55-all-dev'
I proceeded to install other dependencies without libboost1.55,
download zip from here
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero extract zip.
open terminal cd to directory.
make
all is well until this
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:45 (message):
Could not find Boost libraries, please make sure you have installed
Boost or libboost-all-dev (1.53 or 1.55+) or the equivalent
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:409 (die)
which obviously has to do with error above.
Edit - sorry not 100% sure how to do formatting here and posted this before I look into the buttons at top. Hope you can read it.
