Strange, i downloaded it last week trough Safari and it works like a charm.

Strange, i downloaded it last week trough Safari and it works like a charm.

Weird. Maybe it is only an issue on 10.9.5 and earlier. Maybe it has recently been fixed, and no one bothered to mention it. Maybe you downloaded the wallet from a different source than what is linked on the front page of this forum or the official website (I tried both). Maybe, you already had the system files in your Library from a previous installation. Whatever the case, I am not the only one who has had this issue. Lots of people have. In fact, I just did a new installation of a wallet a couple weeks ago on a fully updated 10.9.5 and still had the issue. That's what prompted me to finish the tutorial.



What system are you on?



UPDATE: It hasn't been fixed, at least not on 10.9.5 (one of the the most used OSs for Mac, as lots of people don't like Mavericks), because I just replicated the issue on another computer.



UPDATE #2: Mega download was only link listed on the front page for a very long time. That link is now repeatedly giving me a temporary error when trying to download from it, so hopefully someone is silently trying to fix the issue I mentioned. I am now trying the NEW Bitbucket download link (that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago). I will report back if that worked or not.



UPDATE #3: I just successfully downloaded the wallet from the Bitbucket wallet link in Safari, and I am happy to report the wallet appears to have opened.



UPDATE #4: The download link from the official BTCD website has also been changed from Mega to Bitbucket. The official website linked to the non-working Mega download forever (at least non-working if you used Safari), so that is showing some progress. Thanks, guys!



CONCLUSION: Don't use the Mega download link, the one that has been on the front page of this forum and the official website FOREVER, with Safari. Use the NEWLY posted Bitbucket link instead, and feel free to read the Mac tutorial if you don't know how to create a .config file, because that appears to still be a necessary step to get your wallet to synch.



FINAL CONCLUSION: Make an installation file that automatically creates a basic .config file for people, like almost every wallet has, and thanks for making the Mac wallet downloadable from Bitbucket. It appears the Mega link was the culprit (and has been for damn near forever). Weird. Maybe it is only an issue on 10.9.5 and earlier.

I took a break from debugging SuperNET-enabled BitcoinDark for Windows today to update the vanilla BTCD release with automatic BitcoinDark.conf generation.





WHAT THIS MEANS



If you don't know what a .conf file is, don't worry about it! Just download and unzip the executable, and run it. It will find peers quickly.



If you do know, it will check for BitcoinDark.conf on launch. If it finds it, it skips it. If it doesn't, it will create a 5 character random username and 15 character random password and generate a BitcoinDark.conf file with a list of nodes. I plan to update these nodes from time to time.



Azeh will update the official Bitbucket download soon, but for now I have uploaded it at:

Progress! Thank you, Matthew!



Will the same automatic .config creation be happening with the Mac download, too? Progress! Thank you, Matthew!Will the same automatic .config creation be happening with the Mac download, too?

It is working. Been chasing after this for about a week. Now waiting for a block to stake. Will confirm when its staking 100%.

Money from China has been pouring into most alts over the last few weeks, and many coins have seen strong double or even triple digit rises. BTCDs own recent growth cannot be attributed to the Chinese exchanges, though its fair to assume theres some contagious enthusiasm that spreads across the alt scene. BTCD isnt listed on BTC38 or Jubi  yet.



Chinas now-overheated stock market has experienced a long period of intense growth, and the Chinese government have been threatening to clamp down on leveraged trading to prevent further inflating the bubble. Its a fair assumption that if traders think theyll be denied the chance to use leverage at home, they will move money to somewhere it is allowed  especially given that for many Chinese, trading stocks is essentially another form of gambling. A number of high profile public offerings have also sucked further liquidity from the stock markets, pushing prices down and causing many traders to take their money out and find somewhere that will provide the same excitement. Bitcoin has seen some interest, but the Chinese have done that before  and many got burned on the crash from $1,200 in 2013. The alts, with their relatively low volumes, are the perfect candidate. BTC38, which has extremely high volumes and leads on price, offers a large number of these, regardless of their tech. Its a lottery which will be pumped and when.



Exactly what is going on and what will happen next is unclear. What is certain, as James notes, is that bots are being used to trade large quantities of coins, interleaving buys and sells to make the movement seem more natural as they move the price up. Whilst bots are used by regular traders and within exchanges (the exchanges worst-kept secret), in this case the activity seems coordinated and suspicious. It seems they are being used to paint the tape: to give the appearance that certain patterns of technical indicators are being met, with the intention of inducing more simple bots and technical traders to follow suit and pour more money into the coins. Whether that is part of an effort to push the price much higher, or simply to bring about a selling opportunity that will be followed by a cataclysmic crash, cannot be known at this point.



Its obvious that the Chinese market represents a huge source of liquidity  an order of magnitude more than the western exchanges. Were working to have BTCD added to more exchanges. In the meantime, hodl  and keep staking. Money from China has been pouring into most alts over the last few weeks, and many coins have seen strong double or even triple digit rises.
