Quote from: satoshi on August 16, 2010, 15:25:54 It would probably be possible to initiate an AddToBlockIndex or Reorganize after the check, but it would require a lot more careful attention. I probably should break out part of AddToBlockIndex that sets the new best block. I’ll probably end up doing […]

I’d like to reduce the number of blocks displayed in the status bar by 1.   When you first load the program, it’ll display 0 blocks instead of 1: “0 connections    0 blocks     0 transactions” It’s always been “nBestHeight + 1” because it’s counting the genesis block.  Technically, yes, […]

I’ve written a patch to help automatically validate cached blocks after validation fixes such as the one that was pushed out today. You can find it at http://fushizen.net/~bd/blockverify.patch or http://github.com/bdonlan/bitcoin/commit/b205251959448ca99123f2bc95b088bf06d4ef3b Upon first run with this patch, all blocks will be verified, and any invalid blocks, as well as blocks orphaned […]

On a Core 2 Duo T7200, the default code gives about 1.8 Mhash/s, and 4way is slower at 1.0 Mhash/s. It has 4 MB of L2 cache, so it is probably not a question of cache size, as suggested at some point. Unfortunately, the code (from svn) no longer compiles […]

Interesting.. fascinating to watch this work its way through the bowels of the system. It was block 73746 that I generated. CTxOut(nValue=50.00000000, scriptPubKey=0x8DDD5C7DADB2D43AC5F186) 08/12/10 02:35 generated 50.00 And I sent 49.00 of it to 19Nzg21hQQDAY5GTdTTuUVPA4MaE7AusXz (using the broken chain) Now I’m waiting for that node to figure out it was […]

Quote from: Vasiliev on August 16, 2010, 03:17:07 try -march=amdfam10 That works. That’s strange…  are we sure that’s the same thing?  tcatm, try amdfam10 and make sure you get the same speed measurement.

Quote from: satoshi on August 16, 2010, 02:16:10 … Of the nodes I’m connected to, more than half are already 0.3.10. … That’s great news! How did you figure that out, though? I was considering writing a client specially tailored to put itself out there and try to get as […]

Of course, this happened right after the difficulty kicked up to 511.7, so all these new “good” blocks will have to contend with that.  And a good chunk of the network grind power is off on the wrong chain, so new blocks may take a lot longer than 10min to […]
