[Passed] Proposal for creation of macosx builds

I’ll check this gitian business more closely on the weekend, i’ll have to free up some space on my notebook first, as it needs a lot more than what I’ve got. I’ll document the setup in case it differs from available instructions.

Why not release official MacOS version now?

@JordanLee trusted builds require different process, not trusted developers. just like @sigmike said, gitian is the answer to that.

Will @woodstockmerkle be producing deterministic builds, so his builds can be reliably verified like @sigmike mentioned? If so, then there will be no real redundancy when both of us are doing it, as process of producing sound builds requires more than one person running the process independently to verify the build before releasing.

In that case I will add your proposal to my datafeed. Awaiting the answer…

Voted.

I think it is nice to get macosx builds on a regular basis if someone can verify the integrity of them, which seems to be the case in this proposal.

EDIT: Voting for BACKPAcVxFXfRXCmUBFWZjcAw79ZyJAAUA, 400 NBT

Grant passed today, thank you all who took time to participate and vote for this proposal!

I’ve also made some progress with learning about gitian, it turns out you can build macosx compatible binaries on linux using cross compilation tools! I’ve successfully built most up to date bitcoin qt client and it works, it is deterministic and signatures of result match everywhere provided inputs are the same.

Some serious refactoring of gitian descriptors would have to take place to be manageable, but in the end we would be able to use same build infrastructure for generation of windows, linux and macosx clients.

I find these DAOs very interesting and it does look like new ground is being broken, so I could not pass this one by without getting involved somewhat. Hopefully my efforts will increase shareholder value.

They already did…
…thank you so much for aiding the cause!
After all it’s not only about shareholder value - it’s about trying to change bits and pieces of the world!

Is there a working version of a Mac Os NuShares wallet? I’ve got version 2 and it’s stuck at block 1164056

Cheers

Yes, there is. It is version 3.0.1, which is a required upgrade from 2. Here is the download page:

@Phoenix Great thanks for that. I’ve been a bit out of the loop for a while but I don’t see a NuShares tab in wallet. I may be missing something but how do I see them?

Flag that I found out how to do it :slight_smile: - it does still seem to be stuck at block 1164056 though.

I’ll see how it goes
