Hello,

Is there an updated guide for compiling the OT for use in Android apps?

Thanks

When using GetDateSigned(SERVER_ID, USER_ID, ACCOUNT_ID, THE_TRANSACTION) in 0.92 it doesnt return in unix time like it used to.

It seems like something might've gone wrong with changing to time64.

I've tested on 0.92.b and .c (latest commit 3591547).

I'm using the Python SWIG wrapper, in case the issue might just be Python or SWIG related.

Hi,

I am trying to compile OT 0.90.c on Snow Leopard and have the following warnings all over the place:

  CXX      libot_la-OTStorage.lo
i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1: -lboost_thread-mt: linker input file unused because linking not done

then it stops at some point with:

Any ideas?

When using otapi.py, we copy otapi.py and the new _otapi.so to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages; do I have to copy a shared lib for otapi.go as well? I tried copying libotapi-go.a to $GOPATH/src/otapi/ where I also have otapi.go, but it didn't work.

Also, here's what I get when I go run a simple program that imports otapi.go:

# otapi
../gowork/src/otapi/otapi.go:26: missing function body
../gowork/src/otapi/otapi.go:28: missing function body

../gowork/src/otapi/otapi.go:73: missing function body
../gowork/src/otapi/otapi.go:73: too many errors

Am I missing something or did SWIG mess up?

the relevant part of my smartcontract is:
if (nState == 3)
{
print("Printing param_string:");
print(param_string);

....
even though I supply a parameter when I trigger the clause,
the otserver console shows the parameter as empty.

Hi following the INSTALL-OSX-Homebrew.txt, I am getting the following warnings and errors.I think it's failed to find out the macro definitions!!! But after opening the configure.ac I found that the AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([build-aux/m4]) is already set. So why is this happening? Please give me some direction.

I withdrew cash, created a new nym and used the decoded xml from the purse from my old nym. It was done against the same server.

Sorry if this is a fault in my part, as far as I am aware this is how it should work.

Please note the withdrawl was done on Moneychanger and the import was done via the cli. The command is on the last line.

The NymID isn't evident from the purse itself... (listing it is optional.)
The purse may have no Nym at all--it may instead be password-protected.) Either way, a signer nym is still necessary, even for password-protected purses.

Trying MyNym...

'SmartContract_AddVariable' currently exists, but I would like a function to change the value of a variable on a contract.

This would of course mean replacing the signature, and the function should fail if the contract has been activated.

The value in changing variables is that contract evaluation logic can parse a contract, change things it doesn't like, then sign and return to sender. This would make it easier for autonomous entities to negotiate terms.

I tried "exit", which opentxs does not recognize. CTRL-C gets me back to the $ prompt but when I try to run opentxs again it tells me the PID exists and I have to manually delete it.

Of course, this need a bit of testing. Low priority.

PR #150 turned off building and running the unit tests. Rather than turning things off we need to resolve what is preventing make distcheck from succeeding.

@randy-waterhouse could you please tell me what you know is missing or wrong with either gtest or the unit tests? I'm ready to address that so we can re-enable tests.

What I have done:

1. Successfully built OT and have a working OTServer with supplied sample data.
2. Successfully installed a LAMP stack
3. PHPinfo working in /var/www/html
4. Within the http://localhost/php_ot_test.php i changed the $path to ~/.ot
5. Copied over otapi.php to /var/www/html

When I try to bring up php_ot_test.php I a blank screen. I supposedly need otapii.so?

Where would i find this? Is there something I have missed? I'm just trying to get the test page working and communicating with the OTServer which is running using the sample wallet data.

Thanks
John

An extra null pointer check is not needed in functions like the following.

• ntree
• NumberlikeArray
• OTClientConnection
• OTKeypair
• OTLog::PopMemlogFront
• smart_ptr_holder::clear

Hi, I can't do anything in the wallet, some transaction gives an error and I cannot proceed.

I have done refreshnym and refreshacct before this.

When building this code it consumes in excess of 2Gbyte RAM which causes automated builds on typical VPS to fail or run in to disk-swap, etc h/ware errors.
It needs to be split up or otherwise optimised for a more sensible build size for distributed FOSS project that needs to be able to build across a wide range of platforms.

Hey folks, new to this so apologies for etiquette and technical mistakes.

First off, I'm using the 0.9c build of OT + Moneychanger, for Windows, created da2ce7. I'm running Windows 8.1. Crash process:

When I press the 'Contacts' button, Moneychanger crashes. Haven't found a log file for this problem.

Starting with commit 310ea82, attempting to build on Gentoo results in the following error:

I would like to point out that identifiers like "__OTAPI_H__" and "__OT_SCRIPT_H__" do not fit to the expected naming convention of the C++ language standard.
Would you like to adjust your selection for unique names?

Creating a new smart contract!

To get started, we'll need a NymID to act as the 'Lawyer'.
(Private key must be available)
I say 'Lawyer' meaning, he doesn't have to actually be one of the PARTIES
to the agreement, he is just here to sign it during construction
(since OT constructs the text itself during the signing process.)
Once the actual parties have signed on to the agreement later on, the 'Lawyer'
signature will have been dropped from the text. It's for editing only.

Acting as 'Lawyer': FT's Test Nym ( DYEB6U7dcpbwdGrftPnslNKz76BDuBTFAjiAgKaiY2n )

1. Lucre is an unnecessarily complicated protocol. It was originally written to avoid infringing Chaum's e-cash patents. This patent has since expired and there's no particular need for Lucre anymore.
2. The Lucre protocol is vulnerable to deanonymization attacks, described in the Lucre whitepaper http://anoncvs.aldigital.co.uk/lucre/theory2.pdf The server can sign its messages to Alice with a watermarked key that allows it to recognize when Alice spends her coin. Countermeasures to this are described in the whitepaper, but they are imperfect, add more complexity, and are not included in the current implementation.
3. Even if original Chaumian e-cash were used, or the Lucre countermeasures were implemented, the e-cash protocol would still be vulnerable to the server undetectably forging coins.

A better solution would be to replace the Lucre e-cash protocol with an auditable E-Cash protocol, such as the one used in Zerocoin.
