I have few more boost patches that address compiling errors of the dash-qt binary
https://trillion01.com/boost4.patch https://trillion01.com/boost5.patch https://trillion01.com/boost6.patch https://trillion01.com/boost7.patch https://trillion01.com/boost8.patch https://trillion01.com/boost9.patch
I have finally succeeded in compiling and running dash-qt. I love using dash but as a developer, the building experience did leave me a bad first impression of the project.
There is a lot of warnings due to the usage of deprecated functions (mostly in Qt). There was the boost compiling issue and the shared libraries (sodium and gmp). I did struggle for about a week to address all those issues because I really wanted to build and run dashcore on my computers but how many people are giving up building and using dash when encountering those problems?
The goal should be that the whole thing compiles with a single cmdline flawlessly and no or little compiling warnings. That should be relatively trivial to fix...
Once everything is build, things looks to run very smoothly but first impression counts a lot...
I have seen that they were offering a C++ position, I'm going to offer my help. Lets see what happens. pizzaman, you are a great package maintainer!

@chelovek boost & boost-libs higher than 1.72 will give you errors like:
solution is to downgrade boost & boost-libs to 1.72

As per @andykluger suggestion changed from installing pre-built binaries to building stable version from source.
If you're looking for pre-built binaries install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dashcore-bin/
