Your installation instructions are ambiguous, or assume a prior knowledge of Go. For example:

https://github.com/cruzbit/cruzbit/tree/master/wallet

Immediately after installing go, I set the environment variable, and ran the Go command (#2) verbatum, and got an error message:

I attempted to create this directory structure, and then `git clone`-ed the repository into it in various variations of the hierarchy, but always received a similar error. Finally I tried using relative paths to the various folders ("go install ./wallet", "go install cruzbit/wallet"), and then gave up.

I have no intention of learning Go at this time, and if you want people like me testing your project, I'd suggest making the procedure a bit more clear.

That could be the key bit of information, there. Apt-get installed 1.10.4. Will report back after upgrading.

Edit: No luck.

go version go1.11.5 linux/arm

go: cannot find main module; see 'go help modules'

The problem was with Go. Apparently it doesn't like being run from symlink, or something.

I have successfully installed the wallet; now following the remainder of the directions.

Client installed, and is now running off with all remaining CPU cycles. Could use a daemon mode.

1 miner thread on ODROID-HC1/MC1 hashing at 0.07MH/s.

I’m having the same issues as above. How was it resolved in the end? I’ve tried go 11 and 12 and keep getting ‘cannot find main module’

Edit: scratch that, I had an old install of go that was getting in the way. Now syncing the chain!

Bumping the thread to announce that the cruzbit client now has built-in mining support for Nvidia GPUs!

Link to instructions: https://github.com/cruzbit/cruzbit/blob/master/cuda/BUILDING.md

Thanks for your interest!

The new version supported GPU, but there is no detail tutorials for this!

A coin for geek....not easy to use !

I got 0 coin for 24 hours with my I7 CPU and now testing with my 1070, hope can hit 1 block tonight!

Just wanted to update this thread to let everyone know that cruzbit is currently being traded on the qTrade exchange: https://qtrade.io/market/CRUZ_BTC

Also the estimated current network-wide hashrate is ~100 GH/s. Still solo mineable!

Hello! How can i start mining with NVIDIA and AMD on Windows?
Is there an understandable and accessible instruction, or live support?

I don't want to put words in the developer's mouth, but I've read them answer this question quite a few times, and I think I can provide a halfway decent answer.

Cruzbit is an attempt to simplify blockchain development. It can sometimes be the case that in order to develop new software for the Bitcoin ecosystem (for example) that a developer needs to practically be an expert on many ideas and technologies even to create the simplest of applications which will interface with the network. Having a discussion about "Bitcoin" involves many layers interoperating technologies to make transactions happen. Cruzbit attempts to reduce all of that noise to an easily understandable protocol, that can be consumed by simple and readily available tools.

A great example of this is the protocol itself. All messages in the network are simply JSON encoded strings, which are human-readable, and can be used natively in virtually every programming language. Another example is the use of WebSockets for communication. Your web browser, for example, already has everything you need to communicate with a peer on the network built in.

If you'd like to see a demonstration of the above points, have a look here: https://cruzb.it/#chat
With the above web form you can send any message you want to a real peer on the network, and will receive a real response, using a small bit of code that took me less than 30 minutes to build from start to finish, including incorporating it into the website.

Cruzbit does away with a lot of things that other blockchains seem to rely on, thus reducing complexity, while maintaining the same level of security and service. The creator can expand on this far better than I can, but in the end, the idea is to open up accessibility to programmers of all levels, increasing comprehension, reducing development time and, by effect, allowing more cognitive space to be spent on end-users.

If you're interested in more detail on the creator's thoughts about the project, you can read their post here:

The answer @jstnryan gives is fairly complete. I'd only add that cruzbit exists because for a long time I thought about what an even more simple and easy to use (and more modern!) bitcoin would look like. For example, I don't think the UTXO design is necessary and it adds more complexity than value. Similarly, given the vast majority of transactions are simple standard scripts which effectively transfer value from one public key to another, the scripting system seemed a bit silly. So I got rid of both of those things. And like has been said, I made all protocol messages and primitives JSON for ease of use. I'm not trying to innovate with flashy new bells and whistles. It's an attempt to refine an already amazing idea. I don't know if I succeeded in the eyes of others but I'm happy with the result. Thanks for even taking the time to read about cruzbit!
