Re: Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind version 0.5.0

For Ubuntu users, there is a new ppa maintained by Matt Corallo which you can add to your system so that it will automatically keep bitcoin up-to-date.  Just type "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin" in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package.
For those interested in this, please note that currently the ppa directs you to an outdated version. Specifically, version 0.3.24

You're mistakenly referring to the old unofficial PPA https://launchpad.net/~stretch/+archive/bitcoin

Re: Wallet encryption bug found (IMPORTANT!)

This issue can be "worked around" by generating a new address and sending all bitcoin there.
That's not quite right-- you need to exhaust all of the keys in your 'key pool' to be safe, so you'd have to ask for 101 new keys.

Part of the fix is marking all of the keys in the keypool as used.


This fix should be back-ported to version 0.4.0

constructive suggestions on how to improve the testing and release processes ... are welcome.

How was this particular bug discovered?  That might help us formulate strategies for catching similar problems going forward.

You should also remember to change all existing static addresses left on the web

Re: Bitcoin build/dependancy issues on ubuntu oneiric, wallet format

It seems bitcoinj/MultiBit are going in a direction to make an interchangeable wallet format.

It would be great if this discussion could be pulled out into the mainline client

Supposedly bdb 5.x is completely compatible with 4.8, so...

_If_ this is true then the best thing to go for is using 5.x on oneiric and 4.8 on the older versions

Bitcoin build/dependancy issues on ubuntu oneiric, wallet format
by

on 30/10/2011, 18:12:27 UTC
Ubuntu oneiric does not have the libdb4.8++ or libdb4.8++-dev packages, meaning running or building bitcoin impossible without adding those extra packages to the bitcoin repository.

What do you think would be the best way to go about this:

  • Upgrade to libdb5.x++ and cause new wallets to be incompatible with old bitcoin versions
  • include the libdb4.8++ packages and potentially cause collisions with other software making this same decision
  • Upgrade to libdb5.x, cause new wallets to be incompatible with old bitcoin versions, but make an export option that will potentially be compatible "forever"

The export wallet command could export as a GPG compatible ascii armoured ecdsa key set, a json file, or an XML file

[EDIT] the current leaning in #bitcoin-dev is to go with "include the libdb4.8++ packages and potentially cause collisions with other software making this same decision" Then move to machine-dependant wallets once a bitcoin standard export format has been chosen
