Bitcoin has its own distributed address directory using the “addr” message.  It’s about time we coded in a list of the current long running static nodes to seed from.  I can add code so new nodes do not preferentially stay connected to the seed nodes, just connect and get the […]

Here is the almost complete (93%) translation into Dutch. It might contain some errors though. I can has credit now? 🙂 I uploaded the 93% complete Dutch translation to SVN.  Thanks!

A nice addition to the GUI would be an estimate of how many hashes/sec it’s computing. Either present this as a raw number or a “you can expect to generate X packs of bitcoins per week.” This might partially solve the frustration of new users not getting any Bitcoins right […]

The current sending by IP is not very useful: it connects to the IP, so you’d like to use TOR for anonymity, but then it can totally be eavesdropped and man-in-the-middled. The future plan for sending to an IP is to make it a bitcoin address plus IP, like: 1auaDZCFYqaGx4FKS5WenNfurk2SkoDu4h<someseparatorcharacter>1.2.3.4 […]

Here there is the italian translation of the software. There can be some mistakes, but it’s just ok for the first version 🙂 I hope that someone will come to do something better. Hurray!  We have our first language.  I uploaded it to SVN to go in with the 0.3 release. […]

Greetings, How is the amount of bitcoins generated per block determined?

Regards, […]

Does anyone want to translate the Bitcoin client itself?  It would be great to have at least one other language in the 0.3 release. All you have to do is get poedit and translate the po file I’m attaching to this post.  It’s less than 750 words. Updated bitcoin.po attachment […]

I have a question. I saw that everyone need to get blocks before starting to get coins. Does it mean that these blocks are the same for everyone? Is there a database with all of them? So … can I share this database with someone else to make him able […]

Quote from: molybdenum on May 22, 2010, 18:44:20 An optional parameter to specify the minimum number of blocks after that transaction (getallreceived 1 for current behavior, or just getallreceived, getallreceived 5 for the paranoid, getallreceived 0 for instant confirms)? Yeah, that actually is what it is.  getallreceived 0 should do […]

Quote from: Xunie on May 26, 2010, 00:50:04 Can’t we force a user to use a new address for receiving payments? Every time a payment is received display another Bitcoin address in the address bar. (only transactions via Bitcoin addresses, NOT IPs of course, since that’d be useless, right?) The […]
