I'm interested it know where I am in terms of how much CPU I'm donating.  What are other people's hashespersec number?  I'm at 350886 just now

I'm against any switch to copyleft.  If the primary bitcoin implementation is copyleft, then at some point someone will want/need a copycentre implementation and duplicate a lot of work.  Liberal licensing is the best way to minimize duplicate work.

I've been running bitcoind in the background (genproclimit'd to half my cores) for the past while, and it's mostly been fine, but today I tried to play an HD video with VLC and my system overheated and shut down after 10-15 minutes.  I got to thinking: it would make more sense if bitcoind only ran generation when the system was idle, and then it could run at 100%

Is this feasible at all?  I guess I could write some cronjob that checks CPU activity and turns on/off the daemon... not sure)

Moved the block files... it's working through them all again.  My coins disappeared, but I assume they'll come back when it's up to current?

I have 58464 blocks... haven't run the software in awhile

I'm running Ubuntu Lucid (32 bit), all packages up to date.  I had run bitcoin 0.2 previously, and just downloaded 0.3.  I ran bitcoind and I got:

bitcoin: main.cpp:823: unsigned int GetNextWorkRequired(const CBlockIndex*): Assertion `pindexFirst' failed.
Aborted

So I ran the bitcoin GUI, and it came up and showed my existing coins, but quickly gave me the same error and died.  Then I went back and ran the 0.2 GUI again and I get:

bitcoin: main.cpp:743: unsigned int GetNextWorkRequired(const CBlockIndex*): Assertion `pindexFirst' failed.
Aborted

Has my db got corrupted?  Do I have a broken dependancy?

I tried to build 0.3 from source but got many errors, probably missing some *-dev packages.  Will look at that more later.
