[雜七雜八] Bitcoin build on Ubuntu 12.04

I started to pay attention on the Bitcoin that is from a news that discussed why bitcoin become strengthening. After weeks study and observation, I thought the bitcoin could be one of the real monetary in future.

More links are as following.

Bitcoin official site -> http://bitcoin.org/en/

Bitcoin wiki -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

Bitcoin howto in Chinese -> http://saving.cc/bitcoin/

The following article is quite earlier in Taiwan's news and it is also interesting.

Two years later today, the bitcoin's currency rush to 1BT:90USD because of the crisis of Cyprus.

We can understand the nature of the monetary and the pros/cons of the bitcoin from those articles. So I need not to talk more. What I wanna do is to study and share from the source code.

The code is managed by git and host on github and we can get it by git client tool.

The link -> https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

The code structure of the bitcoin.


We can get the information in the README.md.

Build bitcoin on Ubuntu 12.04

# sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

Go https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin

We have to use the ppa to install the package we need.

# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

If the error occur, we have to reinstall the ca-certificates package.

# sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates

If we add the repository successfully, we can see following information.

# sudo apt-get update

Then we could install the db4.8 package on Ubuntu 12.04

# sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev

# sudo apt-get install libdb4.8++-dev

The default enable the USE_UNPN compile flag, and we have to install the upnp package.

# sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev

Go bitcoin/src folder and make the bitcoin package.

# make -f makefile.unix

The 'bitcoind' is generated and we can start using the tool.

# ./bitcoind --help

Done!

[雜七雜八] Peking University Tickets King - 裴濟洋

There is a message post on Facebook by my former boss that talk about a guy in China who help people to order the ticket before important holidays. He is a Peking University student whose name is Ji-Yang Pei(裴濟洋), 23 years old. There is a report from China's TV station and the link is as following.

http://dailynews.sina.com/bg/chn/chnlocal/phoenixtv/20130222/01194273327.html

In China, people who left home for working would go home every Chinese Lunar New Year. It is the biggest human migration period in the world and it's quite hard to get a ticket to go home. Pei provide more opportunity for those people to get a ticket especially the underprivileged ones in past three years. Later, he did not just provide the fish but also teach us how to fish. Pei post a thousand words of article on the internet to let us know how to do it. Because of this, he become a famous person, lots of people call him the Ticket King of Peking University.

Why does Pei can do this? He said he has the train network and timetable is his head. Besides, we have to notice the dynamic message and have mentally prepared that it is a difficulty task to go home. We can not just cut diamond by diamond because the direct route for home is also the most popular one. The target is there, we can use our brain on the route to reach it. The thinking also can be the philosophy on business. When we encounter troubles on one way, we could have different way to reach the target.

This event make my thinking of the situation in Taiwan. We also encounter the same situation but we do not have that strong feeling before because there is only one train route there and another choice is bus. Besides, the distance from the most northern to southern is 400~500 kilometers and we always have direct thinking in our life. Is that why we become a person as stubborn as a mule? Just kidding.

I quite admire this young man because he observe the the society and help people with his ability. Even though he is a Peiking University student, he never think himself above business. Let's learn from him and have a hand clap to him.

[雜七雜八] 內湖好吃的燒烤

內湖有間好吃的燒烤在麗山國中大門前馬路，靠港墘路的地方，名字叫"串門子燒烤"，還蠻讚的！旁邊是一間漫畫店，營業時間是17:00到24:00，可以先打電話訂購，然後再去拿，那邊是外帶的，不是那種三五好友可以在那聚會聊天的店面。住附近的更可以去試試啦。

雖然七三七巷的那間路邊攤燒烤比較有名，但無意間吃了串門子，覺得比七三七巷的還不賴！

[雜七雜八] 台灣水電工+搬運工+服務生+司機

颱風天隔天回家幫爸媽搬新家，早上一早出門就見識到這次颱風的超強程度，機車骨牌，我還第一次見到骨牌是用機車排出來的，我想台北市政府可以重新規劃所有的機車位，環繞所有台北市，下次颱風來，台灣就在金氏世界紀錄上記下一筆，也是另類的台灣之光阿！
到新家後，就開始我台灣水電工一天的生活，裝電話，插座，檢查各個房間的狀況，快到中午的時候，媽媽說有朋友會來幫忙，結果來了一大堆人，我跟爸媽都傻眼，接著就變身為服務生，買茶水，點心招待客人。因為一切都還沒弄好，只是先進行入厝的儀式，家裡亂糟糟。因此以後要到人家家裡拜訪要看狀況時間，不然會很失禮。
送走客人後又開始忙碌到晚上，凌晨化身為司機到機場接從韓國回來的小弟，四個小時後，起床開始進行入厝的儀式，老媽忙中有錯沒帶到豬油，我跟小弟就開車到桃園廟後的永安市場去買，拜拜完，就開始我搬運工的一天！
累攤了，好久沒這樣"運動"，自從我的肚皮很爭氣的不斷成長之後，就再也沒這麼的勞碌過，而這天傍晚我到阿帽家送餅錢時，腦袋只剩一片空白，不，也不算一片空白，至少有一張床的影像不斷的浮現…然後床的周圍，繞著大小不一的Z字…
