Title: Protoshares wallet for Ubuntu?
Post by: davidm on December 06, 2013, 05:02:37 am: I was using Protoshares-qt on Windows so I have a wallet, but my Windows machine crashed. :'( Fortunately I backed up the wallet file. ;D

I have a Linux (Ubuntu) box and I'm running Ptsminer on it with my wallet address, but I have no way of accessing my PTS or even checking my balance. Are there any PTS wallet applications available for Linux? I've been looking around and I can't find anything.

I've even tried running Protoshares-qt under Wine on the Linux box, it runs but it can't find a block source so I'm assuming that it just doesn't work under Wine.

I am glad it worked for you too ;)
