ok so I have successfully built the daemon on windows with upnp=0 and upnp=1 (never found out explanation for difference. Files can be downloaded from here:
Qt builds coming soon… got an error trying to debug but “logos of the startup splash screen and the QT client” yes and general clean up of code few bitcoin references not needed to i seen
Fuzzybear
btw internet here very slow in transferring the file… should be done in hour 27.8Mb file sad internet times…

Thank you very much. Looking forward to QT-client as daemon is not having any default output. Might dive into the DOS parameters to get some proof of work(ing) on the command line tomorrow.
I have had to build without UPNP but binaries are included in the zip file
There is access to the console so your first command should be help
have fun,

It is pretty cool. Two points to comment:
Windows poped up a Security Alert when I started up Peercoin-qt. Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this program.
Allow Peercoin-qt.exe to communicate on these newworks:
Private networks, …
Public networks, …
I checked both Private networks and Public networks and then clicked “Allow access”.
“Bitcoin debug window”, can we change to “Peercoin debug window”?

It will always do that when you upgrade to a new version. Windows sees a new binary who wants to communicate and pops up that message. Nothing to worry about as long as you know that the executable is from a safe source. In this case Fuzzybear, PPcoin vocalist of peercointalk.org, so I think it’s safe You only need to open up private networks if Windows asks, to make it work though.
Feedback after some playing with 0.3.1:
It works :o
Opening up the debug Windows, Welcomed to the Bitcoin RPC console. Still another reminder of heritage to get rid of.
Can confirm getting the passphrase question when sending transactions (yes!). So it’s much safer with this client to mint online. Hope we will get more nodes online now.
No fancy Peercoin logo in the GUI yet :’(
Update of GUI after unlocking for minting is still slow. But you can now quickly check with ‘getinfo’ command in debug window.
If the last line of the getinfo output says “errors” without anything behind it, it is unlocked. Otherwise it would say “errors” : “Info: Minting suspended due to locked wallet.”
You can lock your wallet in debug with:
Just a dump from the debug window help or am I now spoiling part of the fun?
All commands were available from the commandline before, it’s nice to have them now straight in the debug window and therefore easier accessible. I couldn’t find any new ones on a first check (getblocktemplate?)
I will have a new Qt with new seed nodes and removing of some former bitcoin references… like the “Bitcoin debug window”, can we change to “Peercoin debug window”?
need to do the logo’s and what not so that may take me a little while to get those all sorted but i’ll post the binary when I have it
[quote=“MUTO, post:20, topic:1829”]Tested the windows QT. Seems to run smoothly.
Thanks Fuzzy for looking into the logos. It is very important that we get the logos implemented before official release of 0.3.1
One more thing to clean up:
@“Recieve coins” there is a sentence:
These are you [b]Bitcoin[/b] adresses for receiving payments
[/quote]
Logos I have now updated :)
I'll update that sentence as well good spot, keep them coming, the more we iron out the better. I'll release another updated binary this evening with all these changes.
Fuzzybear
[quote=“MUTO, post:22, topic:1829”]Two (may be only one change) more points to be changed.
The wallet is named PPcoin Wallet , should be Peercoin Wallet
Settings Options -> Start PPcoin at system start, should be “Peercoin” + wallet (my personal oppinion)[/quote]
sweet got both of these changes done
ok quite a few changes now so I should really publish the binary and wait for more feedback off that.
Fuzzybear
Hey all new day new binary they can come quick and fast in this thread while we iron out the changes and yes i’ll make a thread and official announcment with all the features and what not… we need a guide like you are a new user coming to the wallet for the first time… so if someone wants to start outlining that please feel free as We want to make the most of the new builds and client updates
anyway enough chit chat here is the link for the latest Windows Qt Peercoin 0.3.1.1 client
I am making a page for all the builds to be kept on so people can see history of versions and I will put up the mac builds and linux ones once they are there as well.
but yeah another service added to the peercointalk brand
Ok so there should be no reference in english to bitcoin anywhere in the Qt client now or BTC or wallet address examples that start with 1 etc so if you see any please let me know
Most if not all references of ppcoin have been updated to peercoin (I have left in the name of the conf file as being ppcoin and that is the directory the blockchain and wallet are still stored in) I would like confirmation from Sunny that we are happy to change all references of ppcoin to peercoin, but if there is any visible text on the client it should read Peercoin now (again please let me know if there are any you spot)
Finally the logos…
Can’t wait for your comments
As a developer even I know there needs to be transparent backgrounds… i have failed to get them in this build… sorry about that, but i can do another … just need to have a go at making the logos again… my skills lie with code not with photoshop so if someone wants to make the new files please do here are the ones that need changing
great feedback MUTO ty yeah on all versions those changes do not look to have happened… let me give it another go… and yeah initial splash logo needs photoshopper pls!!
Just a really small cosmetic issue: “Send coins” and “Receive coins” should be replaced by “Send Coins” and “Receive Coins” or even better: “Send Peercoins” and “Receive Peercoins”. Wallet already feels a lot more peercoinish!
