Quote from: MoonShadow on June 17, 2011, 05:30:30 PM Do you restart your client often? The debug.log is just a logfile that is recording events that your client considers notable, such as restarting. You can delete that without a hickup, and the client will just start another upon the next restart. blk0001.dat is the actual blockchain while blkindex.dat is the file that your client uses to quickly find a particular transaction within all those blocks. I would still recommend that you backup your wallet.dat file before deleting anything, though. According to my process listing (I'm running this under Debian by the way) the client has been running 179 hours, about 7.5 days when I installed it. I just left it open and running on another desktop. I just closed it out and restarted it and it cleaned up about 800MB of data from the database directory. I opened up the debug.log and it appears to be a listing of all IRC traffic that the client generates. Perhaps the next client release can clean up this file as well when the client shuts down?

My data directory for bitcoin is at 1.8GB and growing. That's only with 131340 blocks AND an empty wallet that has not yet made any transactions. Who knows how big it will be in five years That's odd. Mine is a bit under 450 MB, and that includes some relatively large logfiles as well. Here's what I have in the bitcoin directory: debug.log 595 MB blk0001.dat 262 MB blkindex.dat 128 MB 10 other files for 28 MB In the database directory under the bitcoin directory there are 89 files of 9.5 MB each for a total of 845 MB. Grand Total of all files: 1.858 GB

Quote from: BTCBOOK.COM on June 16, 2011, 11:17:14 PM it will be years before the U.S. government will even understand how bitcoin works. Understanding by the government is not a requirement. Congress has been passing laws for decades on things they know little/nothing about

Quote from: MoonShadow on June 16, 2011, 11:26:50 PM There are other option available in the future. Including, but not limited to, simply including a recent copy of the blockchain in each new client release to be downloaded directly rather than over the p2p network and verified by each client upon first start. It's the verification process that takes most of the time, not the actual downloading. If they do decide to include the database they better hope it compresses well.

Quote from: nixpins on June 16, 2011, 06:04:10 PM No luck with 4-pin molex -> 6-pin PCIe adapters? That sucks, I feel for you man. There's very little worse-feeling than coming to the end of a project and getting waylaid by some small, seemingly meaningless detail that was nevertheless overlooked. It's an Optiplex 745 so it only has SATA connectors, no molex connectors. It's always that last little detail that gets you The spare psu I have laying around does have a PCIe connector, but it's only 250w. Trying to mine with that and any (semi) serious card and the computer would likely burn down, fall over, and sink into the swamp

Quote from: clint25n on June 16, 2011, 02:43:58 PM Looking forward to starting. My UPS delivery cannot get here soon enough! Currently mining at 56Mh ( My UPS guy got here yesterday, but it came with bad news. Pulled my shiny new Radeon out of the box, opened my case, and slammed that puppy home. Then I went to hook up the pci-e power to it and IT WASN'T THERE! Crappy Dell had no connection for pci-e power and I didn't think to look before hand Found a nice replacement that will fit my box but now I need to come up with another $75 for it In the meantime I'm mining with a Nvidia 210 which is so slow that I'd probably do better mining with a slide rule

The biggest problem is really two problems that are different sides of the same coin: the high volatility coupled with lack of merchants/buyers. It's kind of a 'chicken and egg' type problem. There is high volatility due to low adoption by merchants/buyers BUT a high adoption rate would solve (mostly) the high volatility rate. When a bitcoin can go from $20 to $30 to $10 and back to $20 in under 10 days everyone is just going to stay on the sidelines and watch. IF bitcoin eventually takes off it will be a very bumpy ride to stability. Some will make out like bandits and others are going to lose their shirts. It's that 'losing their shirts' part that's keeping people from jumping in right now.

I'm a bit surprised that the JPY isn't active on the market since Satoshi Nakamoto was Japanese himself. It's mostly all western currencies being used. What they need to do is get the JPY listed and get someone to open a virtual 100 yen shop with worldwide shipping. From cell phone straps to kotatsu and everything in between. Willing to bet it would do pretty well.

Been mining since Wednesday on my core 2 duo at a whopping 6MH/s I started with minerd but that only gave me about 990kH/s. Changed over to ufasoft and now get just over 3MH/s per core. Five days of testing and messing around has gotten me 5 bitcents When I get time this week I hope to be up to 200MH/s gpu mining after I rebuild my other system.
