Re: Bitcoin v0.1 released
Thanks, I hadn't seen that yet. It looks very well presented. There was an older one that's been running for a long time that publishes its hashes to Usenet. I'm surprised this one isn't using Usenet, although it is kind of difficult to…

Re: Bitcoin API
Is there any way to find out what the missing shared libraries are? It would help to know. It probably needs the gtk libraries, in which case you'll have the same problem with the 64-bit version. I would like to have a single executable…

Re: Bitcoin API research status
I noticed this in the docs for wxSocketServer::Accept(bool wait = true): "If wait is true and there are no pending connections to be accepted, it will wait for the next incoming connection to arrive. \*\*Warning: This will block the GUI."…

JSON-RPC status
The JSON-RPC implementation is going well. I'm using boost::asio for sockets. JSON-RPC can be plain socket or HTTP, but it seems most other implementations are HTTP, so I made my own simple HTTP headers. For JSON parsing I'm using JSON…

Command 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. Hopefully gtk can be installed without having a windowing system…

Re: Make your "we accept Bitcoin" logo
If you GPL stuff, I have to avoid using it. Nothing against GPL per-se, but Bitcoin is an MIT license project. Anything GPL please clearly mark it as such.

Re: Money Transfer Regulations
When there's enough scale, maybe there can be an exchange site that doesn't do transfers, just matches up buyers and sellers to exchange with each other directly, similar to how e-bay works. To make it safer, the exchange site could act…

Idea for file hosting and proxy services
When you want to upload an image to embed in a forum post, there are services like imageshack, but because they're free, they limit the number of views. It's a minuscule amount of bandwidth cost, but they can't just give it away for free,…

Re: Transactions and Scripts: DUP HASH160 ... EQUALVERIFY CHECKSIG
The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime. Because of that, I wanted to design it to support every possible transaction type I could think of. The…

Re: JSON-RPC password
I was researching config file formats, here's a comparison. YAML is massive. I'm not sure there's a lightweight easy to build library we can integrate into our project. Seems overkill. JSON is tempting and I'm inclined to like it, but two…

Re: JSON-RPC password
Thanks for that survey! I find "key value" a little unnatural. There ought to be a more definite separator between key and value that suggests assignment. The space people may just be getting lazy using their language's split function.…

Re: JSON-RPC password
boost::program_options has the same "key=value" format. Gavin pointed out we can use it in a simple way as a parser without getting into all the esoteric c++ syntax like typed value extraction. We can use more features if we want later.…

Re: 4 hashes parallel on SSE2 CPUs for 0.3.6
Sorry about that. CRITICAL_BLOCK isn't perfect. You have to be careful not to break or continue out of it. There's an assert that catches and warns about break. I can be criticized for using it, but the syntax would be so much more…

Re: Switch to GPL
If the only library is closed source, then there's a project to make an open source one. If the only library is GPL, then there's a project to make a non-GPL one. If the best library is MIT, Boost, new-BSD or public domain, then we can…

Open sourced my Java SPV impl
I hope you are doing well. I finally got all the lawyers happy enough to release BitCoinJ under the Google name using the Apache 2 license: It's incomplete - notably it doesn't properly handle block chain splits yet - but the rest is…
