I can’t build r80 from the SVN with -O2 in the makefile. I’m running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit on an Intel Core 2. If I remove -O2 (switch back to -O0), it builds fine. The problem seems to be line 15 of net.h. My googling suggests that statement-expressions, some non-standard, […]

Hi people. I’m interested in decentralized currency and going to either participate in development of this one or develop my own version. Before making a decision i want to clarify few technical aspects, which is not clear from documentation. Partially this is just because english is not my native language, […]

A mathematician friend of mine pointed out that there are very few if any hash protocols that have survived for 10 years or more. What would Bitcoin’s solution be if SHA256 were to be cracked tomorrow? SHA-256 is very strong.  It’s not like the incremental step from MD5 to SHA1.  […]

Put things this way; if you manage (on a more or less distant future, don’t know) to run sort of a shop on surface web* with BC, you may want: » Your customers to be identifiable – to know who is paying what and handle refunds » Your customers to […]

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. […]
