[HELP] Open BitShares-PTS.app Failed In Mac OSX 10.9.3! https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=4794.0

System: Mac OSX 10.9.3

Installed BitShares-PTS.app 1.0.0 and failed to open.

Error:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa".

How to fix it?

Just check at clean OSX 10.9.3, BitShares-PTS.app 1.0.0 run ok.
Do you have Qt installed? if yes, try to remove it.

PS: BitShares-PTS build using Qt 5.2.1

2 confirmations for now  :(  . ypool shows that there is 10786 miners online, is that fake ? Because IMO this amount of miners are supposed to help confirmation jobs ...

It's not a fake the network diff to high.

Hi, I`ve downloaded this wallet today and I'm restored my backed up wallet.dat . Although I can see my confirmed amount of PTS I cannot send. I've tried to send some of them 4 hours ago but it's still waiting confirmation, it also says there is 8 active connection to the network. Any idea?

4 hours is normal recently. It is because the PTS block rate is very slow, usually several hours even 10+ hours for one block. I think you are good, just wait for another several hours to see if there is confirmation.

You can also check here to see if your wallet is sync, http://ptsexplorer.cloudapp.net/chain/BitShares-PTS

Currently because a lack of miners the network works very slow, to send the funds you should wait 10-12 hours.

Network is ultra slow atm ... upgrade to new system soon ..

Is Wine still the best option for Linux? Or a Windows WM?

For Linux you can compile by your self, or download .deb package from our Nightly Build Server:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2952.45

Linux Download:
ftp://178.63.85.22/Bitshares-PTS/Linux/

Are those nighly build PTS Client versions reliable and the recommended way (for Ubuntu)?
Also there seems to be a problem with 14.04. See https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=4312.0 What is the recommended way to install the pts client here?

if it's compiled using a different version of libboost, then it needs to be recompiled, or you need to revert back to the earlier version of libboost.  i elected to recompile

I check, nightly build can be easily installed at Ubuntu 14.04 using commands:

Code Select Expand


sudo apt-get install libqtgui4
wget http://178.63.85.22/dl/Bitshares-PTS/Linux/2014-05-16_00-00-43/bitshares-pts-20140516-nightly.deb
sudo dpkg -i bitshares-pts-20140516-nightly.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

Any updates regarding new release of openSSL 1.0.1g ?

Yes, at next release Open SSL will be updated, but it's not critical because Open SSL hole not really affected wallet software:
http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/openssl-heartbleed-security-bug/2014/04/08

So only mining to wallets could be affected... anything else (like transfering PTS) is not being affected by this bug?

No, even mining to wallet can't be affected because it's not using OpenSSL.

Where there does it say that wallets (like mulitbit etc) are not effected?

Under "wallet software" I mean BitShares-PTS software. BitShares-PTS wallet software is not affected by bug in OpenSSL.

As I understand everything on your pc is affected if you allow outside access via openssl on your pc. Conversely if you don't allow access to your pc via openssl, than nobody can use your ssl-connection to read your pc memory 64kb at a time and figuring out your passwords or privatekeys.  This is one of the nice aspects of bitcoin is that all trafic is unencrypted anyway, so who cares who reads the public messages.

BTW you should not allow remote access to pcs with your private keys anyway, this is not the only and certainly not the last security leak that will be discovered. Come to think of it, iirc there was a similar bug in microsofts rpc-implementation that remained unfixed well into the Windows-NT's, I haven't heard of it being fixed yet. So again, be very careful when using pcs with connection to the internet, I can't wait for multisig and more cold-storage solutions.
