Hi, I'm trying to help the bitcoin community by running a full node on my server.

I increased the RAM capacity of 1 GB and add a 60 GB disk dedicated to bitcoind.

After I launch bitcoind it begins to take a lot of RAM, up to 650 MB, and die some hours later. The blockchain is ~10 GB large and not yet completed at the moment. It already crashed two times.

The command line is the following (there is nothing in bitcoin.conf except the RPC login and password)


I'm using Debian Sid and bitcoind 0.8.5-1 i386 from the repository.

I briefly looked at 'debug.log' but it seems there is nothing helping in it.

This is very strange because when I'm using the Windows version it takes about 200 MB and has never crashed.

Commandé en version papier, on va voir ce que ça vaut. Dommage que lulu.com n'accepte pas les bitcoins.

Pour les personnes qui râles sur le format "epub", personnellement je le trouve nettement mieux pour une utilisation avec une liseuse, mise en page automatiquement adaptée à la taille de l'écran et à la taille de de caractère choisie. Pour une lecture sur l'ordi je ne sais pas...

Hi, congrats for this new release. I'm trying it (on Windows) and it seems blocked and didn't downloaded new blocks for a while, maybe ~1 hour. Here is my log : http://www.gburri.org/bordel/bitcoin_0.7_debug_log.7z

It takes more than 15 seconds to launch it on my computer, takes about 140 Mb of RAM and a lot of CPU. Is there already someone working on the performance issues? Maybe I can help to improve these numbers, I like to profile and to optimize softwares

Hi,
I'm a computer engineer and want to be involved in the development of the client, here is my github account. Can I be "whitelisted"?

There is no correlation between difficulty and bitcoin value against USD, this ratio depends only from the supply and the demand over the different markets. The difficulty is only a way to regulate the newly created bitcoins.

Actuellement un gros problème est la tendance au déséquilibre de la répartition de la richesse. Des riches toujours plus riche, le pouvoir ayant tendance à se concentré, et une quantité de pauvres en augmentation.

Un des palliatifs proposé serai l'instauration d'un revenu universelle[1].


Est-ce que le bitcoin aurait tendance à résoudre ou à accentuer ce problème ?

I just take a look in the bitcoin source code and I find tons of inline functions/methods. Usually, inlining is a very bad idea, it can decrease performance. Inlining should only be made if necessary and should be benchmarked to check if there is some gain.

What do you think?
