Well done! Is this the same as the rc1 that you posted earlier (Except for the version number change of course) or has something been changed between this release and rc1? Thanks :)

Is this the same as the rc1 that you posted earlier (Except for the version number change of course) or has something been changed between this release and rc1? Thanks :) No changes, but the Windows Bitcoin-Qt was rebuilt by multiple people (devrandom and sipa) to ensure integrity since it isn't 100% deterministic yet.Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt, bitcoind version 0.5.2 released Post by: Luke-Jr on January 18, 2012, 08:50:15 PM minimize bug (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=58450.msg699859#msg699859) reported on the release-candidate thread...

Thanks! Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt, bitcoind version 0.5.2 released Post by: os2sam on January 26, 2012, 04:29:11 PM I installed this version and it worked just fine initially. But now every time I try to run it I get a DEP violation. Does this version of the official client really execute code from the stack or other protected data only memory areas?!?!?!?!?
Thanks, Sam Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt, bitcoind version 0.5.2 released Post by: Luke-Jr on January 26, 2012, 04:58:33 PM I installed this version and it worked just fine initially. But now every time I try to run it I get a DEP violation. Does this version of the official client really execute code from the stack or other protected data only memory areas?!?!?!?!? I'm assuming "DEP violation" is some kind of no-execute thing? AFAIK, no Bitcoin-Qt does this. Since you mention it worked before, I would be concerned that perhaps you've been infected by some kind of virus/trojan. I suggest getting your wallet.dat off that computer ASAP just in case, then looking into it further.Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt, bitcoind version 0.5.2 released Post by: os2sam on January 26, 2012, 05:14:57 PM I installed this version and it worked just fine initially.

Memory can be marked as Data only so that it should be impossible to execute code from an area marked as such. The stack is the main area that should be read only but many old/legacy apps do execute code from the stack. I appreciate the assurance that the Bitcoin Client does/should NOT do this, which is what I had suspected and hoped for. I am currently scanning my system for virus's/malware. I don't think I've gotten anything on this machine, but hey it is Windoze.

So I don't think it has a virus. But now after several reboots I can again run the client. Doesn't exactly give me a warm fuzzy feeling. By the way, why is it now called Bitcoin-qt?

Sam It is called Bitcoin-qt because the GUI interface was re-written in the QT language by Wumpus.

The old client (aka wxBitcoin) was replaced with Bitcoin-Qt, which is a complete rewrite of the GUI.Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt, bitcoind version 0.5.2 released Post by: os2sam on January 26, 2012, 08:46:44 PM I installed this version and it worked just fine initially.

It would be nice to have them all in one place.
Just a thought, Sam Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt, bitcoind version 0.5.2 released Post by: grue on January 27, 2012, 01:56:56 AM I installed this version and it worked just fine initially.

Yep, using WinXP Pro SP3 as well. I had rebooted several times running virus scans and chkdsk and now it seems to be running fine. I just thought it was strange that I was getting DEP violations out of the blue. Maybe Windoze just got tired and needed rebooting. That happens sometimes. If I can reproduce it I'll open a bug. Sounds like nobody else is having this issue, so that's good. Thanks, Sam |
