Nothing to sweat people. Nobody ever died of a ‘deflationary spiral.’ 🙂 I agree with “I-am-not-anonymous.” The market will choose the best bitcoin-like currency. I happen to believe, however, that the rules that Satoshi has founded bitcoin on will be more than adequate for the future of a thriving bitcoin economy. […]

UI improvements
Uploaded some UI changes to SVN as version 0.2.5. Instead of View->Show Generated, we now have tabs: – All Transactions – Sent/Received – Sent – Received Makes it a lot easier to flip to received and check for payments. Moved the “Your Addresses” book inside the main address book. It […]
Read moreRe: generation slowed down dramatically
Am I the only one seeing minuscule generation lately? It was decent until around 20:00 GMT February 21st, but after that my machine (4 core I7) produced only one block for entire >12 hours. And there isn’t even a clue for new difficulty hike in the debug log. Here are […]
Read moreRe: UI improvements
There are now “Sending” and “Receiving” tabs in the Address Book. Your addresses are referred to as “receiving addresses”. madhatter was working on building it on Mac. He had errors probably caused by UTF-16 wxWidgets 2.8. Should have better luck now with 2.9.0. wxWidgets 2.9.0 is UTF-8 and wouldn’t have […]
Read moreRe: Bitcoin Address Collisions
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 […]

Read moreCommand Line and JSON-RPC
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. Â Hopefully gtk can be installed without having a windowing system installed. The command to start as a daemon is: […]

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 […]
Read moreRe: URI-scheme for bitcoin
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 […]
