Title: Bitcoin on Wine
Post by: MoonShadow on May 27, 2011, 04:08:50 AM
Just so everyone knows, if you try to run a windoze bitcoin client on a gnu/linux machine from your thumbdrive via wine; everything seems to work except the verifying of newly downloaded blocks.  Connects fine, shows proper prior transactions, but cannot seem to get it's blockchain act together.

So that I could have one portable client that I could run natively on windoze clients while at work and on my linux machine at home via wine.  It almost works.

If they make you use Windows, you need a better job. :D

I've yet to see a machine edition of GNU/Linux that is compatible with every microcontroller brand.  They pay me well to deal with windoze.
