Linux is a tough target.  I think it can be supported soon.

So it seems some of us don't want mass adoption to happen...

I am against using the force. We waited before, we can do it again. As long as I can buy BitUSD from the terminal I am fine.

I'm happy building from source.

Good for you. I too am happy to build from source. Does not mean all users should be expected to want to do it or know how to.
It is simply unrealistic to expect all linux users to be techies. There millions of of linux users who do not want to compile anything.
I agree with you, I just think they have bigger fish to fry.  Sorry my first post didn't express that.

And in response to your question.  Because we are a minority and are generally capable of doing it ourselves.

maqifrnswa and I keep asking DSL to make linux binaries available with other download links and so far received no response.
 maqifrnswa has already setup a ppa repository and tried contacting DSL too.
 Ubuntu PPA: https://launchpad.net/~showard314/+archive/ubuntu/bitshares

Why are linux users being mistreated? Why is DSL so unresponsive?
Thanks for the iniative .. how is DSL?


Just a warning: running binaries of third-parties requires (alot of) trust. Maybe we should force dacsunlimited to build theses sources ..

anyway, also in the bitcoin community .. building trusted binaries is FAR for easy .. checkout gitian!
