wrapper

Hi all

Only for your information :

After download the wallet and install it into windows, the FSecure Antivirus LOCK the start of the application and said it’s harmfull.

The other thing is to make sure there is support for any changes Any help keeping an eye on the “Support thread” would be great. While we work through any release issues.

xonar, Can you post what AVG free says in the support section? and help us diagnose your fault…

The precompiled linux binaries are updated, too.

You can find the links on the homepage here.

Is there a wget link I could use to update my p2pool server with the new 0.8.6.1 Linux Binary?

I have the new Feathercoin up and running. Synking right fine, albeit the blockchain is the one from the old wallet…

Thx guys for the timely release!

Installing Fresh .0.8.6.1 on pc and getting stuck on block 33,582?

Have reinstalled twice today but keeps stoping at this block and will not go further any ideas?

Thanks

Same problem as others - stuck at block 33,582

I have done all the usual tricks to get it moving and all have failed. I have asked my Feathercoin group and everyone that re-installed the client is stuck here as well.

Good work! Is it not possible to build an automatic update function into the client?

This release was 0.8.6.1 and as now been updated to 0.8.6.2 which provides a fix for the full chain sync issue reported by several users.

There seems to be a problem with the links on the homepage.

Until this is fixed you can find the pre-compiled Linux binaries here:

http://software.opensuse.org/package/feathercoin

There are binaries for several Linux distributions, not just Opensuse ones on this server

Only binaries available for Linux?

I was pulling from the git repo but I’m getting the 0.8.6.0-beta. Where are the sources for the 0.8.6.2?

Thx

Running the follow is all that is required to get the 0.8.6.2 release.

git clone https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin.git

If you are not deleting the old folder try running for the daemon.

make -f makefile.unix clean

Can someone post the download link to the direct feathercoin-qt.exe?

I don’t want to install it, would like to just run it.

Just checked and we have 355 blocks to go…

That looks about 12 o’clock tonight then. That means I can nip out to the shop, I thought I had to wait in for the fireworks! :)

If you follow the guide in Technical Development, you can compile your own version, directly from the source, in a VirtualBox.

As this is Linux it’ll run fine under windows, but is isolated from your “real” system. It also explains how you can read through the source code, by using Qt Creator to compile he source code. Now 0.8.6.2 has been released you just compile the standard version.

I thought that the time had shifted a little :)

Glad about that as I have to go to the office for meetings today, and wanted to be here when it happened to see what was going on.

Ahh just remembered another wallet that needs upgrading…
