[Dev] Feathercoin Core 0.9.3 - Alpha release

lizhi

Now , You can compile feathercoin core in linux. I test with Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

Install Dependencies

apt-get install git
apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev
apt-get install zlib1g-dev libminiupnpc-dev autoconf
apt-get install autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config
apt-get install libtool

Install BerkeleyDB.5.1.29

tar -xvf db-5.1.29.NC.tar.gz
cd db-5.1.29.NC/build_unix
    BITCOIN_ROOT=$(pwd)
    BDB_PREFIX="${BITCOIN_ROOT}/db5"    
    ../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
    make install

compile feathercoin-core 0.9.3

cd feathercoin_core
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-upnp-default --disable-tests  LDFLAGS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib/" CPPFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include/"

make

May have a problem:

libbitcoin_common.a(neoscrypt.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata’ can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

You need to modifysrc\Makefile

CCASFLAGS = -g -O2 -fPIC
CFLAGS = -g -O2 -fPIC
CXXFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -Wstack-protector -fstack-protector-all -fPIC
OBJCXXFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -Wstack-protector -fstack-protector-all -fPIC

I get this error when trying to compile on OpenSuSe:

Hi Wellenreiter, I think you should try to compile bitcoin-core 0.9.3 , I guess your boost-lib need update. I can compile in Ubuntu 12.04.

I set up a full node with feathercoin core 0.9.3.

That one was a bug in the boost libraries.

solved.

Let’s see what comes next ;)

Today, FTC wallet can team working with Bitmessage. Bitmessage can been launched from the Feathercoin core.

Core wallet can pass parameters to Bitmessage, include Address,TransactionID, amount or more. They can automatically fill in to subject .

Bitmessage version 0.4.4.

Wow! Now this I like! Top work Lizhi.

Cool!

I just wonder.

Is it possible to have both latest official wallet and this beta release at the same machine with the same time opened using same wallet.dat?

Or more important is it safe to execute such setup??

MrWyrm

That’s a good question. I’d like to know that too.

New core wallet compatible with the previous version.

Feathercoin core 0.9.3 will upgrade your database and **wallet **autokinetic,you will **can not **go back 0.8.7.X. So Please backup your feathercoin directory and wallet.dat.

Lizhi, I know you have done alot of work already, and i know this might be even more work…

But is there any chance that you could start turning the ShapeShift implementation into the first “Plugin” for the ftc Qt.

Can you, in this new core, establish the platform for a modular/ 3rd party plugin aspect for the wallet.

The qr code support needs to be ingrain in the wallet. But companies like shapeshift should be optional modules.

If we lay the groundwork for a modular system, we can have link publishing and a whole arrangement of optional tools that can be added on to the core / standard Qt.

I can make it worth your time.

Wellenreiter

Before we can create modules, we need a flexible interface implementing standard procedure calls to:

get information about the function and procedures contained into the module
get information which menu items need to be added to the gui to give the user access to these functions

For 1. I think one standard function inside a module is required, that returns the function and menu items.

another way to implemment modules could be, that the module registers with the core wallet on load, so the core wallet just needs to scan a directory for the different module files and then load them. During registration menu items could be added to access the function of a module.

Does anybody know how this works for Firefox?

I’m making this the primary thread and I’ve moved it into Dev.

I’ve really been out of the loop…

Plugins are in?! Bitmessage and ShapeShift too!!

WOW…

Liz, wow. Thank You!

Amazing work Lizhi. Tweeted this post again.

You give me infinite power , developed the new multisign address, prefix f.

https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/8113-dev-multisignature-wallet-implementation-and-issues/#entry70825

New core will use new SCRIPT_ADDRESS, It is 96 , abandon 5.

base58Prefixes[SCRIPT_ADDRESS] = list_of(96);

lizhi

I had tested new multisign on Ubuntu 12.04 again, It is all right ^-^
the new multisign address, prefix f , success!!

Thank you Lizhi for all your hard work. It is very much appreciated!

The final test:

Stealth Address. Only 0.9.3 pool support my test.
Comments in the blockchain. I add a UI page , you can use it very easy.
