I've finished coding the MVP and a test platform is now running.
My plan is to conduct testing and polishing and then reset the platform for a launch on July 8th.
You're invited to take part in the testing - only those capable of compiling source code at the moment please.

I'll be seeking to secure development, testing, marketing, infrastructure, review and audit services with the remaining 30% shares. These should be fully allocated by the time of the launch.

http://www.lottoshares.org/ looks parked. It is wise to setup "coming soon" page placeholder.

Thanks for the bug report. I added some headers - can you give it another try please?

Better, but...

Thanks again - itoa now removed. Please have another try.

$ ./lottosharesd
lottosharesd: main.cpp:2995: bool InitBlockIndex(): Assertion `block.hashMerkleRoot == merklerootGenesisBlock' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
got this after compiling at both linux and osx.
-
QT compiles now.
Daemon compile fails because obj/lottoshares.o is missing in src/makefile.unix.
When I try to start either I receive the following error message:
lottosharesd: main.cpp:2995: bool InitBlockIndex(): Assertion `block.hashMerkleRoot == merklerootGenesisBlock' failed.
...OK, apparently the sharedrop files are expected to reside in the current directory. The build instructions should mention that.
On debian/ubuntu the build fails because of missing libcurl-dev. That dependency should also be listed.
-
Ok thanks guys -
I've removed the curl dependency, pulled Emre's patch to correct the daemon build.
For the sharedrop files - not sure if that's how we're going to end up handling that, but for now they do need to be in the currect directory to build the genesis block.
-
Hm, now it loads the sharedrop files, but still it fails. This is in the log (openSUSE-12.3 on x86_64):

PMing Cass to do one on the bitshares.org site at least, replacing the old one (http://bitshares.org/lottoshares-snapshot-countdown/).
Cass did it, http://bitshares.org/lottoshares-launch-countdown/
Now we just need some text and the exact time to put in the countdown! o/
What say you, FreeTrade?
-

Thanks, yes, we got some kind of floating point arithmetic bug. I'm working on it.

I think the countdown code was a bit buggy, working off local client time rather than UTC time - so maybe look at fixing that. I'll get you an exact UTC time shortly - after I've got some of the other bugs ironed out.
-
Okay - floating point arithmetic bug was causing slightly different balances in genesis block on linux vs windows, resulting in errors. Should be fixed now.
-
OK - seems to be working.
My linux packages are available at http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Ap_conrad%3Acoins&package=lottoshares - or will be, when the build service comes up again. :-/
-
+1
it's working atm.

Is the maturity rate for the LTS correct? I want to gamble.

Yes, for MMC, PTS, AGS and the 30%, maturation is at a random block, after 2 months and less than 14 months, using the genesis block as a seed. This is because some of these balances can be very large and we don't want them flooding the market from the outset. BTC and DOGE balances are small and can be used right away. Subsidies for processing tickets can be used after 10 blocks or so.
Or send me your address and I'll send you some coins to test with.

Thanks man, I'd like to try it out.
-
Ok. Good luck!
For the test platform, every ticket is a winner!
2 numbers returns your stake,
1 number gives you one hundredth of your stake back
0 numbers gives you one tenth of your stake back
-
How can I tell the difference between blocks mined by my cpu and ticket payouts? I see a ton of mined transactions.

For now, you'll need to infer from the amounts - amounts of around 10 are mined. Everything else is a ticket payout.
I'll be polishing up the interface over the next week to provide better information on what's what - you could also use separate clients for mining/playing for the next few days to make things clearer.
-
Thanks freetrade. I would also suggest adding a sort of block explorer tab that will display the numbers that are called, if it's not too much of a pain. I think that would make the game more playable and lead to a wider adoption.
-
block explorer for test platform:

you can see your ticket transactions.

added some extra info for ticket transactions:
