linuxdeployqt can do AppImage natively.

Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:

• Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
• One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
• No unpacking or installation necessary
• No root needed
• No system libraries changed
• Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
• Optional desktop integration with appimaged
• Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
• Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
• Works on Live ISOs
• Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions
• Can be listed in the AppImageHub central directory of available AppImages
• Can double as a self-extracting compressed archive with the --appimage-extract parameter

Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.

If you have questions, AppImage developers are on #AppImage on irc.freenode.net.

proposing this change to the instructions relative linux build:

== Build ==

Linux i386:

git clone https://github.com/dzimbeck/BitBay.git
cd BitBay
chmod +x linuxBitBay.sh
./linuxBitBay.sh --build

Linux x86_64:

git clone https://github.com/dzimbeck/BitBay.git
cd BitBay
chmod +x linuxBitBay64.sh
./linuxBitBay64.sh --build

Options:
--reset: update dependencies, clone BitBay repository
--force: if you are using Debian version > 7

Example with options:
./linuxBitBay64.sh --reset --force --build

After successful build, bitbayd can be found in BitBay/src/

Additional notes:

• the --reset option creates a folder 'src2' in $HOME, this is hardcoded in the script, can be fixed
• the line 16: "win32: Debian 8 (jessie) x86_64 (VM or chroot)" i believe is not correct

Please update the leveldb dep to version 1.9 or later.
This version is ready for ARM64 compilation.

Thank you!

Description: I get this error when trying to run on Linux:

usr@USR:~$ Applications/BitBay/BitBay.sh
Applications/BitBay/BitBay.sh: line 1: ./Halo: No such file or directory
usr@USR:~$ 

OS: Debian Stable

connection

Every time I run bitbayd it prints to stdout this messages:

block.GetHash() == 0000075685d3be1f253ce777174b1594354e79954d2a32a6f77fe9cba00e6467

Unfortunately I can't find the source.

I installed libboost-system-dev, and libdb5.3++.

libboost version 1.58 was installed.

But I keep getting error:

error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.55.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I downloaded qt wallet from bitbay.market

Update

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev libminiupnpc-dev || force "apt-get install failed"

Installed more deps. But error is still the same.

Update 2

I tried with the download from the site, the tar.gz. And I got:

./BitBay.sh 
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 72: non-double matrix element
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 72: non-double matrix element
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 80: saw unknown, expected number
Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40807) with this library (version 0x40802)
Aborted (core dumped)

I tried both bitbay-qt and bitbayd (newest github clone), and everytime I send a request I only get "empty replys".

This is what I send:
curl -u bitbayrpc:BBZP3Q4MqWqksU -X POST -d '{"id": "0", "method":"getinfo",  "params": []}' -H 'content-type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1:25001
Curl always reports:
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
I tried GET and POST as well as digest auth. Everytime I got the same behaviour.

The same Curl command (as well as the bitcoin core getinfo RPC call) works for many other currency wallets, only bitbay wallet is making troubles.

The port, user and password are configured in bitbay.conf and netstat is showing bitbayd/bitbay-qt process listening on this port, so to that point everthing seems to be correct.
Looks like either a problem in my command or a problem in bitbay wallet RPC implementation?

In case of invalid/malformed JSON command, other wallets of other currencies also respond an adequate JSON encoded error message in the case the given command is invalid. Bitbay just seem to do nothing?

Any chance we will see an Electron based Wallet and Marketplace? Seems like it would offer better possibilities for scaling and distributing the platform ui.
