# 	
#	Released 1-25-2014 - Gridcoin
#
# This guide is broken up into 3 versions.
#   
# 1. Gridcoind - headless daemon 
# 2. Gridcoin-qt 
# 3. Wine version of Gridcoin-qt
#
# 
# Section 1: Compiling Gridcoind
#
# -Tested on Ubuntu 12.04

#### Building Gridcoind ####



#### (Tested with #boost 1_5_5_0, Berkeley db 4.8.30, miniupnpc 1.8, openssl 1.0.1e
#### Step 1: Building the headless daemon:
If you have trouble updating source from git:
git config --global http.sslverify false


sudo apt-get install ntp git build-essential libssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev
sudo apt-get install qt-sdk
 
cd ~
sudo git clone https://github.com/gridcoin/Gridcoin-master
NOTE: If you already have Gridcoin, do this:
#git fetch --all
#git reset --hard origin/master



cd ~/Gridcoin-master/src

sudo rm obj/*.o 

sudo chmod 755 leveldb/build_detect_platform 

sudo make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=- 


##### End of Step 1: gridcoind will be found in /src directory



sudo strip gridcoind
sudo chmod 755 gridcoind
sudo cp gridcoind /usr/bin/gridcoind 
sudo mkdir ~/.gridcoin
cd ~/.gridcoin


#### SSL: ###################################################################
#Optional: Setting up gridcoind for ssl 
#openssl genrsa -out server.pem 2048 
#openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 3650 -key server.pem > server.cert 
#############################################################################

nano ~/.gridcoin/gridcoin.conf 
server=1 
daemon=1 
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=9332 
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 
rpcallowip=external IP 
addnode=www.gridcoin.us
#rpcssl=1
#save and exit.  Leave the lines with ssl in them out if you don't need ssl.

####### Testing Gridcoin gridcoind :
./gridcoind
#Let server start
./gridcoind getmininginfo
#Should return current difficulty


#Step 2:
############################################### Building Gridcoin-QT: ##########################################

cd /src


cd ..     #cd to the directory where bitcoin.pro is 
sudo rm build/o.*
sudo qmake "USE_UPNP=-"
sudo make
sudo strip gridcoin-qt
sudo chmod 755 gridcoind-qt
sudo cp gridcoin-qt /usr/bin/gridcoin-qt
#look for gridcoin-qt
sudo ./gridcoin-qt
#Verify wallet finds nodes and starts syncing


###############################################################################################################






###### Step 3:  Wine :


###### Temporary instructions for Wine Alpha testing:
###### Tested on Ubuntu 12.04
###### First, install the latest version of wine
###### Then download gridcoin-qt-wine:

download:

Extract into Linux working directory
## Do the following steps once:

wget http://www.gridcoin.us/download/gridcoin-qt.msi

chmod 777 gridcoinqtdirectory
cd gridcoinqtdirectory
wine gridcoin-qt.msi

## To execute gridcoin-qt wallet in wine:
wine gridcoin-qt

## There will be 3 debug files written to the app directory
## Known issues:
## If you kill boinc, it takes 10 minutes for gridcoin utilization to go back to zero (it does eventually)

su root
cd Gridcoin-Research/src
adduser grcuser && usermod -g users grcuser && delgroup grcuser && chmod 0701 /home/grcuser
mkdir /home/grcuser/bin

cp gridcoinresearchd /home/grcuser/bin/gridcoinresearchd


chown -R grcuser:users /home/grcuser/bin

cd && rm -rf grcuser

Start Gridcoin Research (From User Environment):
su grcuser
cd && bin/gridcoinresearchd

After running the first time you will receive an error instructing you to create a config file called gridcoinresearch.conf

nano ~/.GridcoinResearch/gridcoinresearch.conf && chmod 0600 ~/.GridcoinResearch/gridcoinresearch.conf

Add the following to your config file, changing the username and password to something secure:
daemon=1
server=1
email=
rpcuser=<username>
rpcpassword=<password>
addnode=node.gridcoin.us
addnode=gridcoin.asia

Ctrl-X to exit and save

Run the Daemon

cd /bin
./gridcoinresearchd

Wait til server starts

gridcoinresearchd getinfo
Verify connections are > 1, and Blocks > 1
