I've been testing the -port option, and it doesn't seem to work. I set a different port, yet bitcoind seems to still be establishing connections on 8333 (as shown by netstat). I tried setting the port through both the command line option and in the bitcoin.conf file. Has anyone else tested this?
Bitcoin still has to make a ton of outgoing connections to ...:8333 because that is where remote nodes are listening and thus connections must be made to that port, but, as always, it will connect from ...:[random high-number port]. According to my system, it is listening properly on *:[port i set] Matt, can u use Process Explorer to detect specific activity localized to port 8333? |

Never mind the incessant articles and talk about BTC usage for drugs, money laundering, assasinations, porn etc that emanate from the BVDV, mainstream press, gov'ts, doubters and quite frankly from our own ranks here at the Forum. Scrap that talk and lets spread whats really behind the BTC revolution. And that is honest money that can't be counterfeited by a private, special interest group called the Banksters and their governmental brethren to their own benefit. A money that cannot be inflated OR deflated. A stable valued currency that will create a non volatile business equilibrium upon which we can build a Real Economy. An economy where businesses large and small don't have to worry about whipsaw swings in the value of their money as a first and primary concern versus concentrating on what's important, developing a productive business. An economy built on a currency that will prevent financial speculators from creating Boom/Bust cycles and capitalizing on that volatility with inside information. Bitcoin is The People's Money and it was created b/c we are tired of waiting for Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, and Obama to do the right thing. We have come to the realization that it is time for us to take matters into our own hands. THIS is the result.

LOL, u would have been better off piggybacking onto fpgaminers thread! i went thru that whole thread yesterday and not yet having gotten into mining but planning to do so i have a sincere interest in trying to figure out what to buy for the longterm. i appreciate u trying to get this thread going and i hope it matures to some more helpful information for us all. |

open your port 8333, so you'll get more connections.
8 connections should be plenty. try restarting the client. |

joan,
you can overcome this with a saving and a spending wallet.
Surely at some point I will need to transfer coins from my savings to the spending address ? I will have to count how many times I'm doing it to check if I need to do a new backup. With persisting address, I need backup only once. Anyway the remark was more about foolproofing the default behavior of the client, lower the surprise effect and improve data loss prevention. I understand there is a tradeoff between built-in untraceability and having persisting addresses for the sake of simplicity and managing one's accounts. Right now I don't care too much about traceability of my transactions, since it is still hard to match an address with a physical person. I know others will care and will use a different address for each tx. Should it be on them to opt-in ? Could I at least opt-out ? With the keypool of 100 addresses created at initialization, I will have plenty of room to segment my wallet for different usages. I could have a spending address dedicated to food, another for books, etc. all within the same wallet. To sum it up: - keypools = great. If I backup on day one, I have a hundred of addresses backed up. - using a new address to send the spare change of a transaction = should be opt-in or disabl-able. Otherwise my backup dies at tx 101 without me noticing it. yeah it depends on ur financial situation. i have a large savings wallet which goes into the safety deposit box and other areas for 10 yrs. my spending wallet is different but yes i do have to back up before tx 100. |

No need to thank me, cypherdoc. I feel privileged to be part of Bitcoin and help out where I can. I strongly believe this will finally bring a huge and positive social change to our society where people aren't enemies and strangers to each other anymore. "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_km0u64OLngI am cant find any way, how bitcoin can turn us to became like "people aren't enemies and strangers to each other anymore". Its just about the other side. The competition will be even tougher, than its now. thats why he said he's a dreamer. otoh, money is the life blood and lubricant of the world economy and so much misery and pain has resulted from central bankster counterfeiting and corruption. if btc could rid the world of that scourge alone we very well could be on our way to a far better life. |

Here are the details. 1) Bought 9,000 BTC on one of the exchanges over time. 2) Transferred them to my client running on a linux live CD distro of Debian. 3) Backed up the wallet file to a flash drive. 4) Sent 1 BTC to myself 5) Closed client before any confirmations 6) Shut down system (wiped system disk loaded into memory and therefore the ./bitcoin folder 7) Loaded system back up  Copied old wallet.dat file into ./bitcoin folder 9) After some confirmations appeared the balance was 1 BTC and there was a transaction saying I spent 8,900 BTC to an address I did not recognize 10) I read on the forum threads that people have had problems like this but it seemed only when they were trying to double-spend by sending coins to another address and reloading an old wallet file Is there anything I can do? I do have the address that the 8,900 were supposedly sent to but the old wallet file is gone for good. Thanks, Stone Man Dude, im so glad someone else experienced this too. I sent 5BTC to an address that i copy and pasted, then i copy and pasted again just to make sure that i did it right, long story short, idk were they went in your case, nothing should have gone wrong whether u sent to one of ur own addresses or to someone else's. your client would have taken your chosen amt from one of your stored addresses with coins just above the chosen amt and sent it to the chosen address. the change would be sent to another of your pre stored addresses. then the process would have been repeated with the only address reused being the one you sent to. |

You must have missed the "=" or added a space after -addnode= Close the client and try again bitcoin -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=64.22.103.150 -addnode=173.242.112.53 -addnode=178.79.147.99 -addnode=184.106.111.41 -addnode=91.85.220.84 -addnode=173.224.125.222 -addnode=86.5.50.90 -addnode=178.255.199.86 how diff r the terminal commands in linux and win? |

if that doesn't work close client and run terminal command: bitcoin -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=64.22.103.150 -addnode=173.242.112.53 -addnode=178.79.147.99 -addnode=184.106.111.41 -addnode=91.85.220.84 -addnode=173.224.125.222 -addnode=86.5.50.90 -addnode=178.255.199.86
