I'm playing with FreeBSD - no idea how to use this OS, and I have never used it before.

is it an easy thing to install monero on this os?

If it's easy, anyone have a walkthrough?

If you have never used a unix-like cmd-line OS, it's not going to be easy. Use the OS you know best - you're dealing with real money value - I wouldn't mix that with trying to learn a new OS.

Have used plenty of mint/ubuntu

Have never used bsd.

I'm using monero as an excuse to fix that Smiley


Well, then freebsd is no more difficult than most linux distros. Start here - http://www.freebsdmadeeasy.com/

For kicks I'm going to install it too - the interface is so simple under windows that I haven't felt the need to jump to fbsd, but I figure I can see what dependencies are needed.


Wait for the wallet to sync, open up a second session and run ./simplewallet

GJ devs!

For people interested in the XMR faucet/MMO Crypto-Kindgom, there is not an IRC channel for that: ##crypto-kingdom.
typo?  not = now?
Thanks

I can't get the wallet to install from source on my MAC and I don't like running it otherwise.
So, I need to give Mintpal my Poloniex address with Payment ID...
But thanks for the suggestion.

You don't have to install from source on Mac. If you on Mavericks.

https://github.com/sammy007/homebrew-cryptonight

You can build from source or use precompiled binaries. Just read README.

I am going to create bottles (binaries) for Yosomite later today, but I need time to install new SSD and Yosomite on my Mac.


Thanks a lot for posting that. As usual, I couldn't get it to work.  Huh
I did follow the directions (including downloading the large blockchain.bin file."

I ran this command after installation: simplewallet --generate-new-wallet wallet.bin
Got this error:
Code:
bitmonero wallet v0.8.8.4-unknown
password: ********************
Segmentation fault: 11

I ran it again and it said: Error: failed to generate new wallet: file already exists "wallet.bin"
I noticed files were created though and I backed up my "wallet.bin.address.txt" address.
I ran the "simplewallet" command and got this: Error: failed to load wallet: file not found ".keys"
But, the "wallet.bin.keys" file exists.

BTW - Is there a handy reference for commands that can be run? Didn't see that in the README.

Now I get this from running "simplewallet"
Code:
bitmonero wallet v0.8.8.4-unknown
Specify wallet file name (e.g., wallet.bin). If the wallet doesn't exist, it will be created.
Wallet file name: wallet.bin
password: ********************
simplewallet(20000,0x7fff7caf2310) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff7ce10c70: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap: 6

If these errors jump out at anyone I would appreciate it. If not, I will wait for a DMG file.

For any XMR devs with free time on their hands, the OpenBazaar team says they are open to pull requests from alt-coin devs. . . http://www.reddit.com/r/OpenBazaar/comments/2jielp/stop_emailing_us_to_support_altcoins/

Why don't you create a linux VM on your mac and run the binaries \ install from source there? (the script works flawlessly)

True, install a Linux virtual machine. Run the script. Get your coins. Easy.

The install_script works flawlessly with the latest Mint (at least).

still mintpal won let get back XMR from them

I haven't gotten any new updates or deposits into my requested address either.  I want to send mine into Poloniex, so I put my Withdrawal address and my Payment ID in the USER NOTES box.

Keeping my fingers crossed that they get that information and send it correctly.   Roll Eyes

I was going to post this question, the Payment ID is KEY, but you should probably put the withdrawal address in the withdrawal address field and the Payment ID under User Notes?
Anyone?

Thanks,
IAS



I ended up creating a personal wallet address. You don't need a payment ID to send that way.

Which wallet do you use /0.8.8.4/ or ....? Only personal address you typed in without ID key? Do you arrived coins?
Thanks!

[...]
At a time like this, I would have liked to see some reputated members stepping up, offering escrow/transport services for funds. Wasn't there some economy focused working group?
[...]

Fair point. I offer to help out anyone who's in need of a transport service, if this is still of any use. I can be reached by PM here, or by the same IRC handle on Freenode #monero. Any fees from providing this service will go straight to the development fund.

As with any such cases, please do your own research, do not trust a random individual on the 'interwebs', and act accordingly!

Money often costs too much.
Moolah just got arrested.

Aaarghgrrr! Another cryptojailbird.

My apologies. I was caught up getting help setting up a wallet which I was finally able to do. I would have taken you up otherwise, although the withdrawal on mintpal is only set up to withdrawal all or nothing. Regardless, XMR is one of the coins mintpal lists as having "issues" so withdrawals are also delayed. Yes, I was in a bit of a panic.

... has blown my idea of trusty partial transfers, like 15% of the coins in transfer at all times, out of the waters. Which would have been the way enabling the community to help themselfes. Now reading it's all been setup by a pro-scammer, this figures just nicely.
