That's actually slower-than-Atom class hardware you're running on
there, with full disk encryption on what's a very CPU and IO-heavy
workload. From the benchmarks I remember, your CPU is literally slower
than the first generation of single-core netbooks - the ones reviewers
recommended against using full disk encryption on because they just
didn't have enough CPU power to manage it. It's not surprising that
Bitcoin isn't usable on that setup.

The error about not finding boost is a red herring and as far as I can
tell bogus. The problem is that it finds Qt and tries to configure
some Qt code that doesn't seem to have actually been released. Try

Also, you'll probably need to set BDB_INCLUDE_PATH manually or it
won't find db.h
Hope this helps,

🗒️ Summary of this message: Proposal to modify getwork code to discourage blocks with stale timestamps. Majority adoption would prevent cartels from manipulating difficulty.

Of course, if only a small percentage of mining power adopts this
scheme, everyone that does so will presumably be harming themselves by
doing so since they're essentially increasing the odds that the next
block they mine will become invalid...
