Dan N. are these 32-bit versions and should we be using the 32-bit version of everything?
Yes, these are 32-bit versions. We're working with 32 bit on windows for greater compatibility across users right now, as there's many 32bit windows users still.

Keyhotee / Re: Alpha Keyhotee Bug Reporting in this thread.

I updated the details in the issue link you gave me. But what about my another issue?

Quote
These problems still exist:
1. Every time I launch the application, it receives several mails (the same ones every time) which are marked unread.
We've had a github issue open for this one for a bit, as it's been reported in the past. But it's an intermittent bug that's hard to duplicate (and therefore hard to debug). Once you get it, it repeats, but we haven't had it occur on our systems lately to debug it. We certainly haven't forgot it, we consider it a high priority issue.

For all you Mac OS testers out there, just saw this post in another thread by drekrob:
The jenkins server we are setting up already supplies nightly builds for mac and linux here:
ftp://178.63.85.22/
Would be nice to get some feedback if they run, cause i can only test them on the build server. If any dependencies are missing i would not notice as they are installed there.

2. Chinese character question mark '?' still cause application crashes every time I input it.
1) Which OS version are you using specifically?
2) Can you give the specific steps you use to enter these characters?
Our main problem right now is we don't know how to reproduce this issue on our systems. Here's the github issue, can you reply there with more details?

I write Java code for a living, and quite frankly, I have not seen anything more demoralizing than trying to build the Bitshares/Keyhotee workspace.  I have wasted countless hours on this to no avail.  Every hurdle cleared is met by the next obstacle.  If it were not for the fact that I have a DAC I want to build, I would have given up long ago.  I have invested far too much of my time and money for me to let this die.   THIS IS A CRITICAL ROADBLOCK FOR ANY POTENTIAL DAC DEVELOPER! For better or worse, my target platform is VS2012/Win7/64.  That means in addition to building the workspace on my platform, I need to build every single dependency on my platform too.  Quite frankly, the documentation to do this sucks.  The error codes suck.  The support sucks.  Not just I3,  but Boost, Qt, etc, everyone who needs to support my platform.  It sucks because every platform has its own set of quirks that the user must be familiar with,  and if every user is using a different environment, it increases the chances that they get unique errors that no one else has seen before.  Why did I pick my platform?  Because no one told me "use this" instead.  I would much prefer something that I know works than something I have a base level of comfort working in.  I was not married to using VS2102, but I may just be now since I've spent so much time on it. If it weren't for sites like Stack Overflow, I would be nowhere.  This is not just my problem.  This is everyone in the community's problem.  If I can't build you a DAC, then you are getting cheated as an AGS/PTS holder.  Like I said, I write Java code for a living.  I figured there would be some bumps along the way getting re-acquainted with C++, but this is just unacceptable. If I do this for a living and can't get this working, then I can't be the only one whose had issues and given up.  I'm willing to bet that there are others who have been made to feel stupid by this opaque process, and that they've been made to think that these issues are due to their own technical limitations. 

Here is what I propose as a solution.  I3 needs to hire a full time configuration management specialist.  They should be responsible for all working build environments.  Having a bounty for a working build system is not enough.  This CM person would be responsible for maintaining at the minimum, one working Windows, Mac, and Linux environment.  They would need to write tutorials for building the workspace for developers.  This has to be a step by step guide for building every dependency from a clean machine.  Make no assumptions about what the user knows.  I want a complete list of tools to use and the URL to find them.  It should be written in such a way that a non-developer can set set up the workspace.  And finally, they should be supporting developers who are still having issues in order to get it working.

ps - When building Qt statically, I get the following error, so please try to convince me that this doesn't suck:

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
There's links here to pre-built versions of static QT for windows (and prebuilt berkeleyDB as well):
https://github.com/InvictusInnovations/keyhotee/wiki/Building-Keyhotee
Downloading and using those is your easiest route, I think. We don't normally build static QT on each of our Windows machines, because it is quite a pain.

I am already using it since version 0.5.2 to give updates to a friend.. =)

We are getting there... =) Hey.. i am sure it's not a priority.. but add an option to change language. I need to correct some PT translations I did.. and complete some others... and it takes some time to "evaluate" what I did with changing system LANG..

Tks.. and keep up the valuable work!


EDIT: Or if there is a way to input a flag to force a LANG.. that's also ok.
You can do it by launching a cmd prompt and temporarily setting the LANG environment variable to your alternate language there, then launch Keyhotee. For example, to use simplified chinese on Windows:
<Ctrl>-R
cmd
set LANG=zh-CN
keyhotee
A similar method works for Linux as well.

Hi Dan,
i just update my mac keyhotee that build by wackou that i believe should be version 0.5.5
i add your public key and try to send you an email, but seem it is the mail unable to reach you.. during the mail, the receiver are dedicate to you but after pressing send it is random switch to another address in my contact.
Yes, this is a known bug with 0.5.5. We put out 0.5.5 too quickly in order to let KH give better verification of founder status before the Mar 28 BTS snapshot, and by rushing we let this bug slip into that release. It's been fixed in 0.5.6.

The new Keyhotee alpha release 0.5.6 is available here: http://invictus.io/bin/keyhotee_0.5.6.zip
Linux release to follow tomorrow, assuming no major problem reports.

This version fixes the "send to wrong contact" bug introduced in 0.5.5 that was causing emails to be lost, plus many other smaller bug fixes.

One change you'll note if you create a new profile is that there's less info requested on profile creation. There's also a mail server icon that reports the status of your connection to the mail server (it's beside the bitshares "plug" that currently reports "disconnected" for alpha testers unless you're running a special build). 

There's a new feature for selecting a contact from your contact list and emailing it to other users for import into their contact list (new contact is sent as an attachment that can be selected for import by recipient). In another day or so, this will be updated to send multiple contacts. There's also an authorization feature that will ultimately be used for a couple of things (sharing transaction keys for increased privacy transactions, direct connect IM, etc), but this feature doesn't yet do much on the surface.

Now that the hectic support activity from Keyhotee founder ids has settled down, I've been diving into the existing code for keyhotee ID mining. Getting that operational is the next major task for me. I have a rough idea of what needs to be done, but I'm still mapping out the details before I make major changes.

General Discussion / Re: On Marketing and Priorities
« on: March 03, 2014, 08:55:50 pm »
I thought the initial fund raising ended with the feb. 28 snapshot. I3 has accumulated more than $2 million in the past 6 weeks from ags donations. I do not see how fundraising is what is necessary right now either. What is and has always been necessary is putting out a product.
Nope, fund-raising is scheduled to go for 199 days starting from Jan 1st. The 28th snapshot was just the freeze for BTS block chain.

Invictus has been pretty successful so far in raising money, I think, but I suppose there will be plenty of competition that can also raise a lot of money. I agree with you about the need to get out products, but I'd like to see us hire more people in order to speed up product development. Ideally, we should have enough marketing support from the community that Bytemaster can devote most of his time to product development, for example.

Why would you push for more marketing when the test product hasn't even been launched yet?
Because we're fund raising now, and the fund raising has a finite end point.

I'm writing this in my capacity as an AGS/PTS holder, not as an Invictus employee, but I like super3's idea to decentralize some of the spending for marketing. There's so much marketing that needs to be done, we could use more hands, and it's hard to hire fulltime people for this kind of work quickly.

ok... i was using 05.3 and i am on windows... (idiot..)

05.05 shows now correcly my points  :)..

I am still sending out messages to godscreation and phoenix and it goes to bytemyster. i have added coolspeed and it shows that it went to gods creation... should i delete all of the contacts and restart? is it a known bug that it will be fixed so i shouldn't bother sending out emails until new version?

Actually i am not sure who receives my emails since no one replied... :(
We've determine that a bug crept in to 5.5 related to address completion, that's why these messages are going to wrong destination. We've fixed the code in github, and we're making a binary release (0.5.6) on Monday with the fix. I definitely wouldn't bother sending out emails until that version.

Keyhotee / Re: Keyhotee Founder ID Registration Process
« on: February 28, 2014, 09:04:16 pm »
I registered my identity in January but for some reason Keyhotee don't working anymore on my PC.

So I have install Keyhotee on another PC, I rewrite all the stuff (First/Middle/Last Name, Passport #, License #) but now it's seem that I have to re-register my identity. The problem is that I lost the Founder Code. What can I do?
Email me (dan at syncad com) using the email address you originally used to get your Founder ID, along with your Founder ID itself, and I can lookup your Founder Code and reply back to you.
Nevermind I manage to recover my first account registration but the new problem is that I got "Unregistred or failed to reach server".

My founder ID: vito
My Public Key: 6dCZpE8UvwxUiSzuXshYCLaXn6efvUHAi7oSTnFgoWYK2eqn9B
Looks like you submitted to our web form with this public key: 6UgGAhVrUpDytPikub6hiB9MqYGapxVM3m2XZ7C314KcoxYu6X
If you want to update to the new public key, please fill out the web form again with your new info. I'll be updating the server again tonight from the latest webform submissions. Check your email for your founder code, I sent it to you about 5 or 10 minutes ago.
I don't know why the two public key are different. All I know is that when I had reinstall Keyhotee my vito account had associate the public key 6dCZpE8UvwxUiSzuXshYCLaXn6efvUHAi7oSTnFgoWYK2eqn9B.

Is the "Unregistred or failed to reach server" means there is a problem or can I fill out the web form with that public key and be OK?
The public key changing means you must have entered some slightly different info when you recreated your profile. This could be something as subtle as using different capitalization for your first and last name in the profile.

If you fill out web form with your new public key, you'll be fine.

Only thing I recommend is that you be sure you can re-create your profile on another machine, just in case you ever lost your data on this one. That means, make sure you know exactly what you typed for first, middle, last name, your brainwallet key, and your password. You can verify you've recreated successfully by checking that the new public key you get when creating vito identity matches the one have now.
