Title: What version of Bitcoin do you use? Post by: Luke-Jr on March 21, 2012, 09:04:26 PM Just wondering how many people are using what versions. Also, please note that I intend to drop support for (only) the 0.5.0.x branch when 0.6.0 is released, so if you're using that please upgrade to 0.5.3.1. If you're using a broken or insecure version, please comment on this thread why. I would also appreciate comments on how long you intend to use which versions. Thanks!
Edit: If you run git master, that counts as 0.6 RCs Title: Re: What version of Bitcoin do you use? Post by: payb.tc on March 21, 2012, 09:11:58 PM i use the very last one before the interface got 'upgraded'.
and that's why. Title: Re: What version of Bitcoin do you use? Post by: Luke-Jr on March 21, 2012, 09:17:45 PM i use the very last one before the interface got 'upgraded'. 0.4.4/0.4.5rc include the old wxBitcoin client still, though it's not maintained.Title: Re: What version of Bitcoin do you use? Post by: rjk on March 21, 2012, 09:22:04 PM I have liked neither wxBitcoin nor bitcoin-qt, so I chose the lesser of 2 evils and went with QT because of more features.

Title: Re: What version of Bitcoin do you use? Post by: theymos on March 21, 2012, 09:31:44 PM The only GUI version of Bitcoin I use is 0.3.15 because I usually don't need the features in the newer versions, and AFAIK none of the security problems apply to me. Maybe I'll upgrade if I ever have to download the blockchain from 0 again.
For a long time I used 0.3.19.2 for all of my bitcoind installations, but I needed the faster blockchain downloading and sendmany, so I'm now using the latest 0.5.x version.

Maybe I'll upgrade if I ever have to download the blockchain from 0 again. 0.3.15 must have a lot of security issues by now... You shouldn't need to redownload the blockchain with any of the new versions, but even if you did, there's been fixes to drastically improve the download speed too.Title: Re: What version of Bitcoin do you use?

Probably a lot of DoS stuff, but I -connect directly to a trusted node, so that doesn't matter so much. I don't know of any other serious security bugs. Title: Re: What version of Bitcoin do you use?

The wallet encryption is a joke in all versions.
