I agree, however there are so many distros that it is not just worth the time writing guides for all of the different varitions of distributions.
Ubuntu 16.04 happens to be really common (not sure if the most used version of ubuntu), so of course it provides the most support.
However problem solving is kind of a important part of  the GNU/Linux experience 


Requirements for what distribution? Package names vary very much, so if you can tell me exact version and distribution, then i can go through whole compilation process on a virtual machine and report back the whole compilation process with easy copy/paste commands.

Well the easiest way to "solve" the problem is to have a Ubuntu 16.04 VM or whatever is the standard for the current year.
So that's where I do all my linux stuff now, particularly when it comes to compiling and crypto.

On my main machine running XUbuntu 14.04 the version 0.14.0.4 compiled like a charm. On my old laptop running XUbuntu 16.04 it failed (hints in a previous post).
So, my take on that would be to run a VM with Ubuntu 14.04 and set up a masternode with it. The masternode setup script (https://github.com/dArkjON/BSD-Masternode-Setup-1404) should work well.
Just my2 cents, but... have fun

Please use 0.14.0.4 for your masternode.

BitSend didn't drop a lot in BTC since spring, that's unusual. What's the reason behind that?

I unfortunately got wind of BitSend only allowing Legendary members in from here on out and that kinda sucked. I wish that I could have made it for next year but that seems like it won't happen now. Is there any chance of increasing the members from 1k to 2k in the future or is that going to be capped until the distribution is done?

Also I know about Bitcore project a little bit how does BitSend differ from that one? I know it is run by same people but I am no tech guy could somebody try explaining it to me like I am 5 (ELI5 for those of you who reddit ). Thanks

Actually, I just finished compiling it on my lubuntu 16.04 VM without problems. I used the only the necessary steps from that script and added a few for the qt part. I expect this process to work for most similar wallets now.
I'll try the masternode next week, as by then I should have the collateral amount

Here are the compilation steps for anyone interested. Note that the files produced were quite large . bitsend-qt alone was about 170mb. There's probably a way to compress them but I haven't tried.

This worked on lubuntu 16.04 as root user. If you are not root, all commands need a sudo in front.


First, do an update

Then, install essential packages

Add bitcoin repository, update again and install a few more

If you want a GUI binary as well, you need to install the following

Download source, configure and compile

Done. If you started the proces in your home dir, binaries should be in ~/BitSend/src
bitsend-qt will be in ~/BitSend/src/qt

what do you mean only legendary sockpuppets invited..? :\ hmmm

Hello.
