That must be it then. It must be looking for a larger icon like 20x20 but we don't have one.

Run it with the undocumented switch -minimizetotray and the option is available in the options menu. I don't know how to fix it. It's something wrong deep inside wxWidgets or GTK or Gnome.

Because of all the dependencies that different systems don't have. It's easier to just static link what we can. It doesn't increase the size by very much.

Good point. If you're going to have more than 8 LAN nodes connect to one gateway node, then you'd better have the gateway node set up so it can receive incoming connections. Otherwise, while the gateway node has 8 or…

That's the first time I've seen this error. How many blocks do you have? (in the status bar) You should move your blk*.dat files (in ~/.bitcoin) to another directory and let it start over downloading the block chain a…

I uploaded windows 0.3.1 rc1 and linux 0.3.1 rc2 to SourceForge and updated the links on the homepage. You don't need to update to 0.3.1 unless you had one of the problems listed in the first post. If you've got it wo…

No, not related at all.

5 BTC seems like a lot these days, maybe the normal amount should be 1 or 2 BTC. This is an important service so new users can at least get something if generating is too hard.

Please try the 0.3.1 release candidate, it should at least resolve the libcrypto dependency: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=383.0 Let me know if that works.

SHA256 is not like the step from 128 bit to 160 bit. To use an analogy, it's more like the step from 32-bit to 64-bit address space. We quickly ran out of address space with 16-bit computers, we ran out of address spa…

Right, the difficulty adjustment is trying to keep it so the network as a whole generates an average of 6 blocks per hour. The time for your block to mature will always be around 20 hours. The recent adjustment put us…

Yes, about 20 hours. (120 conf / 6 blocks per hour = 20 hours) That's the normal length of time before you can spend it. You know long before that that you won one.

It adjusted to 181.54 a few minutes ago. Typical time to get a block is about a week now. The difficulty can adjust down as well as up. The network should be generating close to 6 blocks per hour now.

The proof-of-work difficulty is currently 45.38. (see http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php ) It's about to increase again in a few hours. It's only been 3-4 days since the last increase, so I expect it will…

Many businesses are like that. For a car salesman, when will the next customer walk in the door? On the OP's question, it's a good feature, but the question is, how would we word it so people don't expect to get somet…

Bitcoin automatically rebroadcasts your transactions if it receives new blocks that don't contain them. It may take about an hour to get rebroadcasted. It is relentless though. It will keep nagging the network forever…

It's in init.cpp. It's a wxWidgets app, so it doesn't have a main() function. It may in a little while, since I'm pretty close to making bitcoind build w/o wxBase. (it'll be in init.cpp) Sorry about my choice of the f…

I like that in libraries for the external API's, but you can probably tell from the code that I'm not a fan of it for interior functions. Big obligatory comment headers for each function space out the code and make yo…

Neat chart. Difficulty just increased by 4 times, so now your cost is US$0.02/BTC.

I've been trying to encourage someone to write and release some sample Python code showing the recommended way to do the typical accounting stuff, but to no avail. It would be nice if you didn't have to re-invent the…

We need someone to write sample code, preferably Python or Java, showing the recommended way to use the JSON-RPC interface to create an account system. Most sites that sell things will need something like this. Someon…
