Pre final available for download !!!

inuxcoin.co.uk/downloads/LinuxCoin_0.2-prefinal

Downloading a new toy is so much fun! 8^)

Full list of added stuff will come with the final version, there is a small one on the original post. I'll post it here ...

grsecurity PaX hardened kernel
ck patch for the fastest CPU mining
secured bitcoin wallet option to encrypt and use your wallet.
GUIminer
Smartcoin munin plugins
Chromium replaced for iceweasel
tor privoxy
lots more drivers hardware support.
More miners including hashkill and cgminer.
Updated and optimized pyopencl
monit software watchdog
Updated PXE scripts (now they really do work lol)
Bug fixes etc
and lots more !!

Yes smartcoin is included and has been tested. Also you can now view the stats of smartcoin via the munin web interface. When you've booted you need to symlink the plugin and wait around 10 mins for munin to update.


then you can view this information on the local machine by viewing

http://127.0.0.1/munin or from another device by viewing http://<your_ip>/munin

hehehe thanks As soon as this version is tested and the final version is out I will make an effort to write as much documentation as possible

i'd love to have a release not dependant on x86_64

i've got a handful of boxes that could produce a little if not for that.

To create it directly on the LinuxCoin drive,

boot from usb
sudo mount -t vfatdev/sda1mnt
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/live-rw bs=1M count=600
mkfs.ext3 -Fmnt/live-rw

In this example the 600 represents a 600MB file anddev/sda1 is the name of the usb key

Hope that helps

Deepbit has had such good luck lately, I kinda don't want to make the move from Windows to Linuxcoin just yet. When the luck goes down I'll give it a try.

lol LinuxCoin has been designed to be your personal wallet. You can take it anywhere and use it on most newish computers and spend bitcoins etc without a trace on the local machine. The whole point of this OS is to work without touching your HDD's or anything else on your computer. LinuxCoin will not write to your local HDD's unless you tell it to

Something appears dramatically wrong. I downloaded it two seperate times to two seperate computers and both of the old iso files are 799mb, but both of the new ones are only 84mb.

I re-formatted a known newish working usb and installed the iso. It installed way too quickly (which is what made me take note of the file size). I then copied th old 2048 persistence fileto the usb. The only option in the boot menu was default. It did not boot and only gave an error message;
"Invalid or corrupt kernel image"

EDIT

Did a Quick format on the usb, re-copied the previous iso and menu is back, boots normally, I did not take the time to copu a live-rw file this time.

EDIT 2

I dl'ed from the link a few posts up. will re-try from front page in a bit when "life" gives me a chance. 8^)

EDIT 3

Something is definitely off. I just tried to download it from the link on the first page and it was only 300mb or so. I just deleted it and am trying again.

Sounds like a bug. I'll take a look later this evening bud. Ty for reporting !!


sounds like a corrupt download ? Try redownloading using the links provided in the first post. I did have another file on the server for a brief time maybe you got that ?


1) Yes I have noticed this and I think it has something to do with plymouth. I'm looking into it now ;.)
2) Could do ? Not really considered this but it sounds like a good idea !!
3) May be due to the added security features of linuxcoin ? I will take a look later.
4) Umm it was tested ? What exactly is happening your end ?

Thanks for reporting these issues guys. I'll keep you updated as usual
