I used ruby 2.1 and it caused this error.
after switching to 1.9.3 the error disappear

Hi, I'm sorry but there isn't a gem for the bitcoin node yet. It needs some patches from my git repo that aren't in bitcoin-ruby upstream, and I couldn't figure out how to write a gemspec for that. Please just clone the repo and run bundler for now... Getting this sorted out is on my todo list, but not with the highest of priorities - tell me if it would be important to you.

The bitcoin_node gem is something different: https://github.com/simcap/bitcoin_node

Hi @mhanne, I am working on a project on blockchain and it would be very helpful if this issue is sorted.
