Hello all!

I've decided to make this the official thread. I had another thread for 0.2, but that seemed like it could get spammy pretty fast.

Anyway, I have a new version out, 0.3.1, which can actually handle the blockchain of 3,722 blocks that you guys have mined, and download it at a reasonable speed without deadlocking halfway through.

Be sure to use the script in the first post or something similar to upgrade your wallet file to the new corruption-resistant SQLite-based format.

I didn't bother with an upgrader script for stored blockchains; just re-download them from an old-version peer.

Also be aware that pybc_coinserver and pybc_cointk have two new arguments: a required argument for a persistent peer database, and an optional --host argument to enable announcement of an internet-visible host name or address to the network periodically.

Let me know if there are any issues.
