I guess it’s ok for remotely doing it but if your concern is that someone else on the same unix machine can steal your bitcoins this still doesn’t help because they can see your command line in /proc, top, ps etc.  It could read the password on stdin or use […]

I created a realtime graph of the current block generation speed here; http://titania.smutfairy.com/~rm/time.gif Nice graph!  A moving average to smooth it out would be nice. http://nullvoid.org/bitcoin/statistix.php says 212 blocks in the last 24 hours, or 8.8 per hour.

What amount does one have to send to incur a transaction fee though? I’ve send some large amounts around myself and never saw a fee? Typically, over 25,000 BTC. Related posts: Re: Nenolod, the guy that wants to prove Bitcoin doesn’t work. So this guy has about 1000 cores generating […]

I’ve managed to set up dependencies and build bitcoin with MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. I’ll give 2010 a try at some time. There is a custom allocator class in serialize.h, secure_allocator, that fails to build with non-debug runtime selected. It is my understanding allocator classes require a template […]

I uploaded to SVN my changes to add a password to JSON-RPC.  If you’re set up to build, please test it. The -server switch is replaced with -rpcpw=<password>, which is also used with bitcoind. bitcoin -rpcpw=<password>    — runs with JSON-RPC port open bitcoind -rpcpw=<password>   — daemon with password […]

Anyone know where the changelist is, I’m curious to what was fixed/changed/etc. The change list is basically encompassed by what’s listed in the first message.  Everyone should upgrade to get the important security improvements. Minimizing to tray had at least 3 different glitches and bugs on Linux, including a crash […]

I wondered if they were not really meant to be public facing.  I think they are useful to have documented though, at least for now.  If the program accepts it as valid input it should be documented.  You can either add a notice to the commands in the man-page that […]

Quote from: NewLibertyStandard on July 17, 2010, 22:22:09 Version 0.3 was supposed to reduce the number of outgoing connections on non-port forwarded clients from 15 to 8, but I don’t think it really happened. I’m not positive if this is the case. Correct me if I’m wrong. In 0.3.0, the […]
