I can run 'taskkill /f /im BitSharesX.exe', but it kills the process rather than closing the app.

Then I have to reset the database each time it starts again. Less than ideal.

Hi,

Most every time my Acronis TrueImage backup starts every night, it completely freezes my computer & requires me to press & hold the power button to shut it down & restart it. It only happens if the BitSharesX client is running when the backup starts.

I can have Acronis run a batch file before the task starts, & I'd like to know how to close the client that way so this doesn't keep happening.

Is there a command to shut it down cleanly?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm attempting to build bitsharesx on Debian 7 using a self-compliled 'modular-boost' because the libboost-all-dev included in the repos are too old to meet the dependency requirements.

I've built modular boost from these instructions here:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost#InstallingModularBoost

...opting to build each library separately using the './b2' command rather than the './b2 headers' command, as it failed with the same error when I did that the first time.

Boost built properly once I upgraded my EC2 instance to one with an appropriate amount of memory (the build process hung for 20 hours on a free tier instance with just 512 MB of memory).

In the ~/bitsharesx directory, I try both 'cmake .' & 'cmake -DBoost_LIBRARY_DIR:PATH=/home/username/modular-boost/libs .', & I get the same error either way.

The output I get is:

    -- Using custom FindBoost.cmake
    CMake Error at libraries/fc/CMakeModules/FindBoost.cmake:1129 (message):

I looked at CMakeOutput.log, & it didn't mention any errors, so I deleted it & ran the 2 failing commands again- with & without the path to the boost libraries defined, & the log file wasn't created again, so I can't consult it for any insight.

Could anyone tell me what to do next please?

EDIT:
I've almost got it working via a ppa, see posts below.

I was wondering if there'd be a way to pay ASCAP fees via BTSX. Maybe something someone could develop.

Why did you change you handle?

What are you referring to? I registered as FuLl originally. Am I misunderstanding what you mean?

Hi,

I'm starting a new company, and have created & registered an account in the BitSharesX client for it.

I'd like to issue an asset distribution in the form of tokens to be redeemed for services the company provides.

I see on another thread where the lending DAC is detailing how they'd distribute their currency, & I'm using that as a starting point when I'm determining how to distribute mine. Theirs is:
25% PTS
25% AGS
40% Open Market
10% Development

I don't understand PTS & AGS enough to know what it would mean exactly that I'm dedicating 25% of my issuance to these DACs. Does that mean that I'd distribute 25% of my 'NFS' tokens to these shareholders in a bulk distribution upon launch of my token?

My understanding of the 'Development' percentage is that I'd pay developers working on my company's coding todo list in NFS out of the allocated 10% of the NFS issuance. Is that correct?

I understand that the 40% 'Open Market' allocation means that only 40% of my NFS would be available to buy on the open market.

On the subject of the open market, how would people buy & redeem NFS? Would there be a section created in the 'Markets' part of the BitSharesX client where people could do this? I'm planning on integrating a Magento ecommerce backend on my website, & would like to sell NFS via that using the GoCoin plugin & accept BTC & LTC that way.

I imagine customers would have to run a BitSharesX client with which to receive & manage their purchased NFS. ie. holding Magento/GoCoin purchases, & redeeming NFS to my company's wallet in exchange for services. Is this understanding correct?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm new to this, so please excuse me if this is a stupid question.

I'd like to get in on AGS, but I don't see it listed in the 'Markets' section of the BitSharesX client, & I don't see it available to buy on Bter.com.

How can I buy some? Or is it not offered anymore?

Thanks.
