Using http://127.0.0.1:[bitcoinwebport]/whatever is a bit limiting, it requires that the user has the bitcoin client, and that the client is running. Using bitcoin:?whatever however allows us to add a uri handler to the browser, so it launches the client with the information if it is not running, or opens a window if it is running. In addition it allows websites to be registered as URI handlers, so people could register mybitcoin or other wallet service providing website to handle the request for them, without requiring the application. I find this a compelling argument to standardise on this style. Yes, I hope that you will add support to some URI-scheme while you are adding password support here: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=461.20 |

2) Disconnect from the IRC when the outside port (8333) isn't connectible.
We gain NOTHING by having Bitcoin idle on the IRC channel when nobody can connect to it, and we hit the server harder and annoy privacy-minded people. The client needs also to show something to the user, example: unable to connect ... |

As I said on IRC, I think that you should add something about it on FAQ ( mainly Windows FAQ ) I had to make an excitation of %AppData%\Roaming\Bitcoin / bitcoin.exe on Microsoft Security Essential to make it working correctly ( bitcoin ) I don't know if it only a MSE problem, but it can be easily a problem with all antivirus. So I think that it will a good idea to add something about antivirus on official FAQ  EDIT for Linux: <+PovAddict> ...and if you use Linux (and you trust not to get a power outage in the middle of a database write), I suggest libeatmydata to disable fsync on bitcoin, should speed up initial block fetching (not sure about generation) |

I don't like also the popup way, I don't want to click ok/cancel everytime. I think that just making appearing of a text message on the main GUI is enough. Also, is should enabled by default ... but it needs also an ON/OFF option. This will make everyone happy |

SourceforceAnother way to give some help to Bitcoin is going here and add a "Rate and Review". Everyone here should go and put something

Can you add something like a version.txt on sf.net? Example:Then you should add a check on the client for this file. ( every hour/minutes, users will be able to change this check-time from the options ) Everytime it will see that there is a newest version, it will show it somewhere on the main screen of the GUI. Example:newer version avvailable: 0.3.1
Please update it! It's quiet simple, but it help to have more change that majority of clients will always be updated. You will be able also to add a more advanced auto-update feature. EDIT: even better [version]
0.3.1
[message]
newer version avvailable: &v
Please update it! With this you will be able to add also a different message every new version |

will it change something if you release a x64 bit version for Windows?

Check if the "%appdata%" directory exists, and "%appdata%\bitcoin"
Both are existing Try:
rename "%appdata%\bitcoin" bitcoin2
does it work then? Yes it works. so I closed it, copied the walled.dat from the old folder to the new one, and now it's downloading blocks Address book and old transfers seem ok, but there aren't anyone of old "generated coins" ... I just need to wait? Anyway, I can just go back with the old v0.2.10 EDIT: I did another thing. Closed it, copied addr.dat / blk0001.dat / blkindex.dat from old folder to the new one. Restarted bitcoin ( v0.30 ), and now it seems that everything is working. ( I can see also old generated coins now ) I just did NOT copied "log.0000000002" from the database folder ... |

Ok, it is generating now ( I just get 50 coins ).
I was just worried it is slower than the official build.
Anyway, I know that something is probably changed ( there are more people with better CPUs )
Is it possible to add also the "Proof-of-work difficulty" real-time value somewhere on the GUI ?

I doesn't generate coins anymore. Anyway it could be a problem with windows 7 x64, even if the latest one was working. I know that there is a lot of math and we have to be luck, it is just strange I'll wait some more ... |

I'm trying to generate coin with your windows build, and it seems that it doesn't work at all.
It was working with the official exe.
Is there a bug somewhere on official code?

I think that bitcoin-url will also give some help to this |
