Unless anyone else knows a Slashdot editor, I’d be willing to submit this when 1.0 is released. (More people submitting their own versions will improve the chances of hitting the front page.)

BitTorrent clients can do hundreds of connections easily – this is why they end up killing those little embedded routers. It should be no problem for a regular IP router but the little embedded things are doing NAT so they’re tracking state on all those connections and run out of […]

I think version 0.3 would be a better choice if Bitcoin wasn’t making financial transactions on Windows. A significant number of people, particularly Windows users, don’t trust software below version 1.1 or 1.2, but going from version 0.2 to 1.3 will backfire when those users find out we skipped the […]

I’d like to see an option (with an RPC interface as well) to limit the number of connections that a Bitcoin client accepts. My home client is connected to 70 different nodes and my poor wimpy router just can’t keep up. It’s starting to slow my network down, to the […]

What if a major flaw is discovered in BC’s cryptographic soundness?  Is there any way to prevent the complete dissolution of the system and of everybody’s wealth? Perhaps one way to do it would be to create a voluntary registry of non-anonymous addresses, to be shared and verified publicly.  Then, […]

I’m not sure why but I noticed that as well – my Win32 build was a lot slower than the linux/mac builds I did.  I used MinGW and all that but maybe I made a mistake somewhere..  I probably used a different version of Berkeley DB than Satoshi too so […]

Hello, I heard about this project around freenode, and I really like the idea. I am wondering if there is a chance you could develop a fully headless version, but with controlling options? Maybe something similar to ncurses work, like rtorrent? So we can make and share bitcoins on headless […]
