Not sure Jerry, any ideas people? https://twetch.app/t/b501…

Electrumsv I think would fit the bill?

Not compiling on ubuntu 18.04, may open an issue on github.

Is there a docker?

Actually got it to compile, but got this fun error "Dependency version conflict, got 'setuptools 45.2.0', expected 'setuptools<45.0.0"

like, what?

Any ideas? @2540 😬

pip install -U pip
pip install setuptools==44.0.0

or you could try: virtualenv --no-wheel --no-setuptools
then follow the other commands once in virtualenv
and install from there

Exodus is very slick but may not suit. It includes open source components but strictly speaking isn't open source software.

I was thinking the same. I do like Exodus on Windows, but as so much Crypto stuff was Windows exclusive, I haven't been using Linux for a couple of years.

About 18 months ago we got a new pc with Windows 10 installed. Ok it was only a cheap machine but Windows 10 was so slow as to be almost unusable. So installed Linux and boom, everything smooth and much faster. Virtually no compatibility issues.

I feel that, had to nuke a couple of Windows installs in the past. Update problems that weren't going to fix themselves. Linux usage in crypto is better now though, I probably have too many other apps that are more windows centric too.

There was one or two apps I used on Windows/Mac that weren't available on Linux, but with the magic of cloud computing I was able to use browser versions perfectly fine.

AWESOME!!

That did it, after I uninstalled the other versions, BOTH from pip and my distros package manager.
