give every for free lol

looking forward for new wallet release 

Hit a roadblock this weekend trying to get Qt 4.8.6 to build the i386 libraries on the native 32-bit iMac -- ran out of memory while linking the webcore archive.

Now trying for a cross-compile from a 64-bit machine with an -arch i386 compile flag set.

Also, soliciting Windows 7/8 build advice -- the consensus suggests that cross-compiling it from a Ubuntu Linux MinGW environment is "less frustrating" than trying to do it on a native Windows box.

More as it happens!

Just put it out on Twitter a moment ago that doabitofgood.com now has a functioning Mac OS X build server capable of generating Qt based wallets!

Just have a config issue to deal with regarding header files and libraries, but the good news is that I was able to use brew to install qt-4 and then built Qt Creator 2.5 from source without error.  Even fires up nice and pretty ;-)

More as it happens!

PS: This also means we will be able to assist other coins in building Mac versions of their wallets!   PM me for details

This is a tiny little thing but it demonstrates that we are absolutely in control of the code and build now:



Modified the About box to update the Copyright year to 2014 and show the "2Givecoin" name for now ;-)

I forked it but have not checked anything in just yet since no changes have been made yet really (other than cleaning up the function calls to correctly cast datatypes in the X11 suite so that it would compile on Mac OS X Mavericks.

You can track it here:

ALL of the effort since last Friday when we announced taking over the development has focused on getting the required resources in place (sourcing a 32-bit iMac) -- getting 10.6.8 loaded, the right versions of XCode, the command-line tools, and all the library dependencies, including building Qt Creator from scratch.

We will now backup and clone the drive so that we can instantly spin up new/additional Mac developer workstations now that we have a stable build environment.

The initial goal is to demonstrate that we can rebuild the current last released wallets and coind reliably and consistently.  We can now do that with linux coind and Mac OS X coind & desktop-qt wallets.  We have yet to re-produce the linux-qt or the Windows-qt wallets -- but that's mainly because we haven't tried yet ;-)

Once we can demonstrate that we will immediately begin doing the heavy lifting to fix the KGW implementation (which is being exploited at the moment) -- and migrate to a more Proof of Stake base model that encourages long term holders of the coin.

We are currently considering a new "minimum time-between-blocks" emit model that would only accept empty "generate" blocks +/- t-time from target emit for non-staking miners to get a more consistent cadence of coin generation in line with overall lifecycle.

Thanks for your support and interest in the continued development!

On Friday, August 22nd, 2014 we have established a new non-profit to take over the continued development of GIVEcoin for the benefit of the public trust.

"Strength in Numbers Foundation" is a legally formed non-profit charity organization established in Minnesota.

We have now successfully built the Clean Water Coin Mac OS X Wallet and will be working to merge the X11 suite code and Givecoin code bases together to bring about 2Give !

CWC JUST went through the shift from POW to POS and its a great model to work from and a lot of experience on that team we can leverage.

Good job!Looking forward to the.
