Title: Bitcoin-QT sucks on windows 7 Post by: RobertRibbeck on August 07, 2013, 12:41:28 PM I've let bitcoin-qt (8.3) run for over a week & a half it's still 238 behind
I guess the windows version does NOT WORK the mac version was all synced up in a couple days the last version 7 synced up in a couple days none of the version 8 for windows will sync on my windows 7, I've tried 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT sucks on windows 7 Post by: HellDiverUK on August 07, 2013, 08:03:11 PM ::)
No, Bitcoin-qt doesn't work on Windows 7 at all. That's why I'm running it along with a P2pool node running off the backend of Bitcoin-qt. On Windows 7. It works perfectly on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. It also works perfectly on Windows Vista. Before you start talking shite, try fixing your install, your internet, or whatever is wrong with YOUR installation, and not with anyone else's.

You, me and hundreds or thousands of other people who all can get it to work with no issues.

Lucky you Won't work for me I've uninstalled it re downloaded it and reinstalled several times It just won't work I reinstall 7 and it works fine Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT sucks on windows 7 Post by: crazyates on August 07, 2013, 09:46:41 PM I reinstall 7 and it works fine Right, so the problem was something wrong with your install, not something inherent in Win7 itself. That's what HellDiver said, and you called him and ignorant child. Try being a lil nicer next time. Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT sucks on windows 7 Post by: os2sam on August 08, 2013, 12:32:40 AM It works fine for me too and actually downloads the blockchain really fast, compared the 3.2.1 version that I recently upgraded from.
However it does use about 50% of my CPU. Anyone else see that? Sam Edit: Oops, I'm using 8.1 on the machine where it's consuming 50% CPU. Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT sucks on windows 7 Post by: cp1 on August 08, 2013, 01:13:50 AM It should only use a lot of CPU power when it's validating the blocks.
Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT sucks on windows 7 Post by: os2sam on August 08, 2013, 01:34:16 AM It should only use a lot of CPU power when it's validating the blocks. You mean when I'm actively solo mining? My client is in server mode and the last in my failover list, but I'm not actively solo mining against it and work shouldn't be leaking to it with stratum. Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT sucks on windows 7 Post by: cp1 on August 08, 2013, 01:36:57 AM No, when it's checking to make sure the hashes of incoming blocks are correct.
Title: Re: Bitcoin-QT sucks on windows 7 Post by: os2sam on August 08, 2013, 01:42:38 AM No, when it's checking to make sure the hashes of incoming blocks are correct. So you mean when the blockchain is being downloaded or when a new block is found? Anyway I just rebooted my machine and it isn't consuming allot of CPU anymore. Oh the joy of Windoze. |
