Title: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.6.3 released Post by: Gavin Andresen on June 25, 2012, 05:52:53 PM Bitcoin version 0.6.3 is now available for download at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.6.3/ This is a bug-fix release, with no new features. Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues CHANGE SUMMARY ============== Fixed a serious denial-of-service attack that could cause the bitcoin process to become unresponsive. Thanks to Sergio Lerner for finding and responsibly reporting the problem. (CVE-2012-3789) Optimized the process of checking transaction signatures, to speed up processing of new block messages and make propagating blocks across the network faster. Fixed an obscure bug that could cause the bitcoin process to get stuck on an invalid block-chain, if the invalid chain was hundreds of blocks long. Bitcoin-Qt no longer automatically selects the first address in the address book (Issue #1384). Fixed minimize-to-dock behavior of Bitcon-Qt on the Mac. Added a block checkpoint at block 185,333 to speed up initial blockchain download. Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release: ==================================================== Chris Moore Christian von Roques Fordy Gavin Andresen Jeff Garzik Luke Dashjr Matt Corallo Michael Hendricks Peter Todd Philip Kaufmann Pieter Wuille R E Broadley Sergio Lerner Wladimir J. van der Laan Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.6.3 released Post by: swissmate on June 25, 2012, 05:56:27 PM thanks for that obscure bug fix :D

How long does the blockchain download take on average, nowadays, with all the recent optimizations? Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.6.3 released Post by: Piper67 on June 25, 2012, 06:11:02 PM Does this version fix another DOS vulnerability or the same as 0.6.2?

Will coincontrol be merged into this version too? Does this version fix the bug where the balance is miscalculated (getbalance("*") vs getbalance())? In 0.6.2, I have a 0.059btc difference between what the client displays, and what the csv exports. Blockchain up to date, all exported transactions are confirmed.

Make sure the SHA256SUMS.asc file hasn't been modified:OS X Snow Leopard with GPG Tools. Code: $ gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc 2. See what file you SHOULD have downloaded: Code: $ grep macosx.dmg SHA256SUMS.asc 3.

About coincontrol itself: there are still a few implementation problems with it. Technically speaking, gavin's raw transaction API (https://gist.github.com/2839617) gives full coin control. I agree it is not the same as being implemented in the UI, but it's possible.

Now I think about importing every single private sec key from the pywallet dump into a new wallet (either via pywallet or bitcoind's importprivkey) and do a rescan to fix everything. If that succeeds, I should be safe to delete the old wallet, or am I missing something?

This version contained a fix for the minimize-to-dock behavior of Bitcon-Qt on the Mac. However since upgrading I've been having an issue where the GUI disappears completely. For example, I'll be using Bitcoin-Qt, then exit it using the red cross. If I then click on Bitcoin in the dock, the GUI no longer shows up. It has definitely been selected though, because the task bar changes to Bitcoin and shows Bitcoin options. Anyone else been having a similar problem? I have had odd bugs with bitcoin and litecoin on my hackintosh that didnt happen on my macbook. Could custom drivers be an issue for you?

Regards Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.6.3 released Post by: Diapolo on June 27, 2012, 09:19:15 AM Can someone with 12.04 give some more details. Was 0.6.2 fine, are you using some special thing (new GUI / experimental GUI)? Can you try to enable some legacy OS UI? As I'm on Windows that may sound a little weird, but to track the problem we need a starting point and exact error descriptions. We need someone to open a ticket on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues.

Those links are the bitcoin/bitcoin ppa (which is unofficial, despite being linked to on bitcoin.org), and afaict they do not contain an /etc/bash_completion.d/bitcoind. Im assuming there was some issue upgrading where dpkg didn't remove the files, could you try That error is in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric (My desktop PC) EDIT: Sorry, yea there would be an issue after upgrading from 0.6.3-*1, as dpkg won't remove files in /etc/ that have been removed in the upstream package. The solution is to do a purge of bitcoind, and then reinstall 0.6.3-*2. Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.6.3 released Post by: Jay_Pal on June 28, 2012, 08:53:49 PM Well, in that case, since it is not supposed to be there, simply done it the other way around: sudo rm /etc/bash_completion.d/bitcoind :D
Looking great, for now! Any news on the disappearance icon on 12.04? Thanks!

Any news on the disappearance icon on 12.04? Thanks! When no one creates a ticket for this on Github it's unlikely to get fixed soon ... I can't help here as I'm on Windows.

Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.6.3 released Post by: RobbieMor on August 14, 2012, 11:19:31 AM The new release looks much better but I still can't find out how much the total fees are to send coins.
My wallet has 0.52390169 BTC and I tried to spend it and got the message "Total exceeds your balance when the .01 BTC tranasaction fee is included" Fair enough so I reduced the spend to 0.51390169 and the get the message "Total exceeds your balance when the .23 BTC tranasaction fee is included" This doesn't seem right or fair. How do I calculate what the TOTAL fees are going to be? Title: Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.6.3 released Post by: mila on August 14, 2012, 12:42:43 PM How do I calculate what the TOTAL fees are going to be? there's a field where you can specify the fees you want to pay. I think they override the calculated/proposed fees if you leave it blank. afaik you could get away with .0005 btc fees or simply try to broadcast your transaction to the network without any fees what so ever. what also matters are your incoming btc transactions that you want use as input in your spending. size of transaction is a factor in fee calculation. could you re-try? if in doubt, just start with 0 fees and send bitcoins to yourself, just to see if you can do it or try with the minimum recommended 0.0005 again just to see if it works for you.

I think i got it at least partially right with the bold part. meaning: if he has 1 input and wants to spend it, the transaction can be fairly small. we do not know how many inputs (s)he combines in the 0.5 btc balance (might be a miner with daily payouts from a pool with a single card mining since April ...) & (s)he can still try to broadcast the spending and get it included in the free space in each block.
