Bitcoin Forum

I would like to be able to set a max khash/s as it heats up my computer to much when I walk away.

So where is the poll ?

Please post your Bitcoin Client Feature Request / wishlist here  :)

light bitcoin client for powerpc
- only p2p & transaction handling

The system/OS should manage that, otherwise, the client will become a bloatware...

You can do it like that under linux (i use that for my miners) :

And if you want to receive a mail after a crash :

There's a nice program called monit which does this sort of thing. It's already in your package manager; go get it.

There are so much tools available... not possible to know all of them.
But thanks for the info, i'll take a look next time i need :p [its name is easy to remember, it should be ok :D]

I know....I only discovered it last week!

My top feature request is the ability to choose which coins to send in a transaction.

That would be an extremely useful feature.

In another thread, they proposed bringing accounts into the UI, and doing them a little differently. Every transaction would be labelled with an account name. You could filter your wallet and only view txns for a certain account. And most importantly, you could pay from an account, and it would only use coins from that account.

This would make accounts be like virtual wallets, so you could have anonymous accounts and identity based accounts, and the coins wouldn't get intermixed. This should satisfy at least some use cases for choosing coins to pay with.

Maybe these should be called something different from accounts, as current accounts are kind of fictitious. Moving money between accounts is currently just bookkeeping, while with what I am talking about it would require an actual transaction. Maybe these should be called something like virtual wallets, or wallet partitions.

Between friends and for small payments - I'd like a Friend-to-Friend mode with online reputations(trust ratings) or a reputation network something like the  ripple  (http://ripple.sourceforge.net/) system but with Bitcoins.

Kinda WoT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust)?

A make cup of tea function.

seriously stop trying to bloat bitcoin

Really important things: is cutting fucking GUI and useless miner.

I also agree with removing the default CPU miner. It causes more problems than good.

Separating the GUI from the command line would probably be a good idea too, but I have no idea about the effort that would be needed.

There already is one client that runs via RPC, and it is very unstable...I think its a good idea, in theory, and may be good for some people, but most people don't want to have to bother with opening multiple programs just to run Bitcoin.  There already is bitcoind which does what you want, just help make Spesmilo better.
Currently, the devs dont want to deffer too much from what Satoshi intended.  This keeps one client which is "mainline", but with all the new clients there should be plenty to do what you want. 
I do, however, agree that "Generate Bitcoins" should be removed or, at least, renamed to something like "Donate CPU Time to help the Bitcoin Network" due to the extreme difficulty of mining on CPUs these days. 

Spesmilo isn't unstable but it requires a patch to bitcoin that has been ignored,
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3856.0

This is needed. But nobody has merged it in yet.

The patch isn't necessary if you run bitcoind 24/7 anyway (which I do).  It is still unstable for me.  I set some setting a long time ago, and now it wont open to let me revert it (and I have no idea where it saves it, some retarded qt location which I can't seem to find). 

You must be using the gitorious branch from luke-jr... Try this version https://github.com/genjix/spesmilo

I guarantee that's stable.

bitcoind doesn't require wxwidgets. The GUI isn't built when you compile bitcoind.

keep your private keys secure in the same way that gpg dose.  ;D

How about a 1000 BTC bonus for new users?  That way everyone will have bitcoins.  I'll ask Gavin.   ;D

Great idea!  Then I'll write a script that installs a new client, transfers the free 1000 BTC to my other client, deletes the new client and repeats forever!  Give everyone free money, and we will all be rich!

I would like to be able to see my client running on Fluxbox WM.  I'm guessing that it tries to minimize to a tray, but does not show up in the Fluxbox tray.  Some command line switch to prevent auto-minimizing would be helpful.

This would be nice:

This is a really old thread.  Strangely, the best ideas here still aren't implimented for most clients.
