So this guy has about 1000 cores generating bitcoins. About 10% of the total amount fo BTC. His name is William Pitock aka Nenolod http://twitter.com/nenolod What do you think? If he cannot prove the system isn’t sustainable, he wins, because he will have lots of bitcoins. If he does, we […]

Here’s how you can lose coins by backing up and restoring your wallet file: Lets say you have one shiny 1,000 Bitcoin coin in your wallet (it’s actually just a transaction for 1,000 bitcoins paid to a public key that’s stored in your wallet). You backup that file. Now you […]

Check this out… I just installed 0.3.1 on two different machines and moved one bitpenny (0.01): -= Before the transfer =- [bitcoind@box1 ~]$ ~/bin/bitcoind getinfo { “balance” : 1.150000000000, “blocks” : 68717, “connections” : 6, “proxy” : “”, “generate” : false, “genproclimit” : -1, “difficulty” : 181.5432893640505 } [bitcoind@box2 ~]$ […]
