He already did that, and the same problem occurred right away. So it’s probably an antivirus issue. OK, if it really won’t get past block 1698 on redownload, then we’re in stranger territory. Yes, possibly he has antivirus software or even a router or filewall that is pattern matching a […]

Quote from: theymos on October 21, 2010, 22:00:26 his block count remains “stuck” at 1698. He was generating invalid blocks at difficulty 1.0.  He must have a corrupted entry in his blk0001.dat or blkindex.dat file.  He just needs to delete blk*.dat and let it redownload. The safety lockdown detected the […]

The order matters not to the program, but it matters to me maintaining it.  If it jumbles the order of the .po file then I can’t diff for changes.  I have to update all 7 translation files when I change the English text in the program, and it’s easier when […]

SVN rev 163 (ver 0.3.13.3) has the key pool feature.  Pre-generated new keys are aged in a queue before use, so that backups of wallet.dat hold keys you’ll use in the future. For now I made the default pool size 100.  It can be configured with -keypool=.  Be aware, it […]

Bitcoin can possibly take both roles and streamline the whole process. Repeating myself here, but there is open source software for that, so it would just be a […]

While I was trying out Bitcoin with Tor a while ago, I found that it was impossible to get connected in a reasonable amount of time. See the debug.log excerpt below. Code: Starting 2 BitcoinMiner threads BitcoinMiner started BitcoinMiner started trying connection  lastseen=-2.0hrs lasttry=-357170.7hrs proxy connecting proxy connecting proxy connected […]

So in .13 1 confirm is good enough to pay someone with, but it takes 6 to display “confirmed” in the GUI.   This is inconsistant.  This coin is good enough to pay you with but not good enough for me to accept?  I don’t know the logic behind the […]

Shame on me, I haven’t know about this useful tool before. Thanks for the clear explanation I’ve updated the translation according to rev160. How often should I review and update the translation? That’s not a problem to do this for every revision but I don’t want to spam this topic […]

IMO it’s a marketing thing.  It’s tough to get people to buy into a system, if the network is technically incapable of supporting high transaction rates. It can be phased in, like: if (blocknumber > 115000) maxblocksize = largerlimit It can start being in versions way ahead, so by the […]
