Your posting on reddit didn't go over so well either it looks like:

So, complete noob question now:

How do I get the btc once they are stored in the address from the private key?

I take it there are certain apps that will take the private key + the address and confirm them?

I think I'd only trust this if I saw the source on Github.  Random executables? NOPE

I'm still weighing up whether or not to go open source, since this has taken months of code optimisation and I don't fancy having someone steal it.

So it's an EXE, meaning this will only work on Windows machines?  How about a README at the very least?

There's a large transaction which hasnt been mined because it depends on some unconfirmed transactions that had no transaction fee.

So it'll be confirmed, just not relatively soon.  I take it there are some maths around the size of the transaction to the size of the transaction fee to give a roughly estimated confirmation time?

Judging by the bitcoin-central Github repo, I'm wondering if this isn't due to the version of Rails they were using:

https://github.com/davout/bitcoin-central/blob/master/Gemfile#L3

3.1.3 had a slew of security patches this year: http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-12043/product_id-22568/version_id-129541/year-2012/Rubyonrails-Ruby-On-Rails-3.1.3.html

Of course, just because this is on the Github repo, doesn't mean they are using this code in Production.

For those of you who missed it:

It's pretty bad.  Just like every other Major News Network broadcast... mostly talking heads who like to talk over one another.
