Title: Frustration: I want a wallet and I want to buy protoshares.
Post by: bitmarket on December 09, 2013, 06:00:32 pm

I have been trying for 5 days now and even offered a $50 bounty.

I have a Mac.   and I still cant get involved.   This is driving me crazy.

I know it sucks and is a pain in the ass..

When I was Mac exclusive I just dual-booted Windows XP SP3 and/or Ubuntu for most crypto-currency purposes.

I'd guess it's your shortest path to getting in the game.

Read every word of every post in those forums.... including the links you sent.   It does not work.

I get the "no block source available" problem.   I have added about 50 nodes.... still nothing.
