seems a block at height 74638 has expoited a bug in the net. It uses an integer overflow to make a negative total transaction. The two transaction outputs are: out Value:92233720368.54(7ffffffffff85ee0) out Value:92233720368.54(7ff ffffffff85ee0) We need a fix asap Edit: (satoshi) 0.3.10 patch download links here: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=827.0 Patch is uploaded […]

I’m afraid the community is just too big and distributed now to expect much in the way of voluntary quick action on anything, especially generation which I’m sure many have on automatic and largely unmoderated. Once you have an update, you could download knightmb’s block chain.  You’ll want one that’s […]

Where is the code for this? I’m on a CentOS 5.5 box and need to build it myself. Once I do that I will report back with linux 32-bit and 1MB cache Xeon. I just uploaded a quick build so testers can check if I built it right.  (I don’t […]

I did a quick test, will report back when I try it on more machines.

Quote from: jgarzik on August 15, 2010, 17:46:27 the extended-help might have been based on my idea, but the code was somewhat different. The idea was the main part.  When you posted your patch, I realized it should have been done that way instead of “-?”.  I always had reservations […]

This is a good point.  I don’t think I underestimated people’s ability to generate bitcoins efficiently and legitimately – the difficulty adjustment does a good job of compensating for that, and that makes it a non-issue in my scenario.  But I probably underestimated the effect of minters using other people’s […]

0.3.10 has tcatm’s 4-way SSE2 as an option switch. Use the switch “-4way” to turn it on.  Without the switch you get Crypto++ ASM SHA-256. I could only get this working with Linux. Download: Get 0.3.10 from http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=827.0 Please report back your CPU and results!  I think it’s pretty clear […]
