I updated the SVN with changes to support translation.  Translatable strings are all enclosed in _(“”), and we’re using UTF-8 on all platforms. When the program runs, it looks in the directory of the EXE for the file: locale\<langcode>\LC_MESSAGES\bitcoin.mo <langcode> is the two letter code of the language your OS […]

Quote from: Sabunir on February 16, 2010, 08:51:51 . Perhaps it has to do with my connection’s very high latency (2000ms or more on average) 2 seconds of latency in both directions should reduce your generation success by less than 1%. Quote from: Sabunir on February 16, 2010, 08:51:51 and/or […]

Quote from: Suggester on February 16, 2010, 02:15:49 Satoshi, I figured it will take my modern core 2 duo about 20 hours of nonstop work to create ฿50.00! With older PCs it will take forever. People like to feel that they “own” something as soon as possible, is there a […]

Hello, well the title says it all. I want to set up multiple bitcoin machines behind NAT. For this it reason would be nice, if one could choose an other port than 8333, which I guess would have other nice side effects. Maybe someone uses this port for something else […]

We had our first automatic adjustment of the proof-of-work difficulty on 30 Dec 2009. The minimum difficulty is 32 zero bits, so even if only one person was running a node, the difficulty doesn’t get any easier than that.  For most of last year, we were hovering below the minimum. […]

Is the fee enough to always ensure the profitability of running a node, even when BitCoin generation stops being profitable? Right.  Otherwise we couldn’t have a finite limit of 21 million coins, because there would always need to be some minimum reward for generating.  In a few decades when the […]

Quote from: theymos on February 12, 2010, 08:31:52 Does the sending client send more BitCoins to account for the fee (so the recipient gets what he’s expecting)? Yes. Quote from: SmokeTooMuch on February 12, 2010, 13:11:09 why do we even need fees ? i thougt the no-fees-feature was one of […]

Sorry, I should have mentioned more clearly that I am running AMD64. I was trying to compile with 0.2.0, so that would explain a lot of my issues. I *would* like to have a native 64 bit binary, but it sounds like that isn’t going to happen right now. I […]

Tor can be dangerous, like exit nodes that log information like passwords and the like. So a major question about the security of Bitcoin when using it with Tor (or any other proxy service) arises: So what exactly does Bitcoin send when it connects to an IP? Is everything encrypted […]

Quote from: soultcer on February 12, 2010, 14:31:50 If you want, I can provide you with a precompiled binary. Am I missing something? Is there something wrong with the 32-bit linux precompiled binary on bitcoin.org? The bitcoin binary in the distribution static links the wxWidgets library, and its shared links […]
