This is strange… When I start Bitcoin as a daemon on my 64 bit Linux server, it eats up all the 250MB of remaining RAM, 700MB of swap and eventually crashes. On my 32 bit Ubuntu desktop, it works fine and stays at 15MB of memory usage. The server is […]

wow ! Yeah looking really good 🙂 As well as GNU GPL why not attach a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/ to them. You can reference the project address and request a Bitcoin donation for their reproduction. 🙂 If you GPL stuff, I have to avoid using it.  Nothing against GPL per-se, but […]

New icons, what do you think?  Better than the old one? Full size 530×529 image for scaling down to custom sizes: http://www.bitcoin.org/download/bitcoin530.png The perspective shadow was too thick on the larger sizes.  I updated 32, 48 and the full size. I release these images into the public domain (copyright-free).  I […]

I’d rather not have to deal with GTK. How much “dealing with” does GTK actually require?  Is it just a matter of […]

Hi, intrigued by the bitcoin-system, I have an idea: The bitcoin addresses could be improved by implementing an URI-scheme like e.g. torrent magnet links. So instead of 1Nu6wZC7JSuh6h8nfKkSTZ4kp9U4f83hhZ, we could more unambiguous say bitcoin:?addr=1Nu6wZC7JSuh6h8nfKkSTZ4kp9U4f83hhZ, and even configure browsers to redirect clicks on such links to a bitcoin client. This would […]

Quote from: NewLibertyStandard on February 23, 2010, 19:04:47 Are generated bitcoins encrypted with whichever address is currently displayed in the main Bitcoin window? No, each generated transaction uses a new, single-use address. Nothing uses the address in the main window, it’s just there for convenience for you to copy.  0.2.5 […]

Version 0.2.6 on SVN can now run as a daemon and be controlled by command line or JSON-RPC. On Linux it needs libgtk2.0-0 installed, but does not need a GUI running.  Hopefully gtk can be installed without having a windowing system installed. The command to start as a daemon is: […]

Quote from: Xunie on February 23, 2010, 12:28:27 /etc/init.d/gdm start and it will start gdm! Ah yes, there we go, back to normal again. The ctrl+alt+F[1-8] thing never worked on this computer.  The screen just goes haywire. Related posts: UI improvements Uploaded some UI changes to SVN as version 0.2.5. […]

Although extremely unlikely, what would happen if two Bitcoin clients generated the same Bitcoin address? Would payments be delivered to whichever client encountered the payment first? If there is a mechanism in place to prevent such collisions, please explain it. There’s a separate public/private keypair for every bitcoin address.  You […]
