My Core2Quad (Q6600) slowed down 50%, my i5 improved ~200%, thus I don’t think what you state is accurate. Maybe starting at some specific Core2? That big of a difference in speed, by a factor of 4 or 6, feels like it’s likely to be some quirky weak spot or […]

Whilst not amazingly critical, i find it strange that i consistently get the below error messages from the console and debug.log when i try to specify the datadir option with anything other than the period char (current directory). This is using the bitcoind program on an archlinux terminal session, im […]

Quote from: throughput on August 12, 2010, 15:28:43 Definitively, we need some overall network hps meter in every node. And at last I’ve found that article: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1237179 Network splits are easier to produce, and happen more often, than many users on this forum think. You don’t really need to cut […]

Misc bugfixes in rev 130: fix -datadir with relative path autostart is now off by default except on windows fix occasional “vector iterator not dereferencable” assertion when compiled with msvc fix readlink compile warning on linux build use sys/param.h and BSD define instead of __BSD__ -paytxfee switch, e.g. -paytxfee=0.01 Related […]

Don’t know if Mac OS X is technically a BSD and I don’t have access to a Mac, maybe someone else may test it. If there are other Mac (and not BSD) specialties, then we’d need to check both for __WXMAC_OSX__ and BSD or detect these in some other way […]

Quote from: satoshi on August 11, 2010, 21:07:59 I believe the clients would have to keep the entire history back to the original generated coins. The fact that clients have to keep the entire history reduces the privacy benefit. Quote from: Red on August 12, 2010, 01:10:19 I thought this […]

Quote from: dkaparis on August 11, 2010, 23:00:16 There is this piece of code in headers.h: #ifdef __WXMAC_OSX__ #define __WXMAC__ 1 #define __WXOSX__ 1 #define __BSD__ 1 #endif #endif That code was a bad idea anyway, I’m deleting it.  Any Mac code should only use __WXMAC_OSX__, not __WXMAC__ or __WXOSX__, […]

The assumption is that you would send variations of the same transaction to different nodes with a tip for working to integrate your transaction.  In order for that node to collect their tip they eventually have to generate a block, but they eventually will anyway.  The tip would be below […]

Just to be able to ask “What if …?” and have all ideas collected in one place. For example. It seems, that a generating node does not need to receive all that transactions at all. The only data it needs is the previous block hash. Right? Next. It is possible […]

Quote from: sirius-m on August 11, 2010, 02:01:53 I added to the FAQ the warning to back up after each transaction. Is it necessary btw to stop the client before making a backup? That’s a bit inconvenient. Automatic backups would be useful indeed. You can get away with backing up […]
