It's seems counter-intuitive, but posting this message, as well as somehow spending another 20 minutes online in the form, should whitelist me.

Right, so if a wallet exists in multiple places it *will* synchronize?

Now don't laugh, I'm just testing this to see if it works. Smiley

I have a laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.  Should this miner work with that? All it shows is the CPU and not the graphics card.

My desktop has an Nvidia graphics card. Am I out of luck there or is there something similar for that?

I thought with the keypair you could both read the amount of money an address has and spend it...

Interesting, but how? I thought the keypair was integrated into the wallet and tied to the Bitcoin address?

Right. So if I then elect to put the walled on a USB Flash drive, can I somehow point the Bitcoin client on each PC to the USB Flas drive to read the wallet from there? Will that work?

Still leaves out the issue with Smartphones, tablets and all the newer computing devices, but one barrier at a time.

So if I want to use Bitcoin from multiple device I'd have to actually send the bitcoins between the wallets on the two devices?  I'm wondering how that will pan out if I want to use Bitcoin on my smartphone. Sad

Seems unwieldy to me, since one would expect to model a wallet after a real wallet where an owner has one wallet and carries it in the pocket of the pants he is wearing that day, rather than tying the wallet to a specific pair of pants and then when he drops the pants in the washer, the wallet gets washed as well!

Hello. I'n new (as if you can't tell from my post count Smiley)

Saw the Bitcoin discussion on /. yesterday and am quite intrigued. We're writing a game and for the first version many of the players have asked for other payment alternatives apart from our credit card processor and Paypal. Maybe Bitcoin will fit the bill, I'm not sure yet.

I still have a number of things I'm looking at, but for now my first question is how do I use my bitcoin wallet on multiple PCs? Is there some form of identification that it uses that will allow the bitcoin client to synchronize the wallet between, (for instance) a laptop and a desktop PC?

Thanks!
