What is the difference when using the command line functions between bitcoind and bitcoin-cli?

Do all the commands work on bitcoin-cli?

I would like to rescan the blockchain for any missing wallet transactions.  Can I use bitcoin-cli or should I use bitcoind?

Everyone is invited to a special meeting of the Washington, DC Bitcoin Users Group.  On Wednesday, June 12th at 7 PM we will be hosting a meeting at 1776 (1133 15TH ST. NW, 12TH FLOOR, Washington, DC) with two very special guests: Gavin Andresen, Chief Scientist, and Patrick Murck, Legal Counsel for the Bitcoin Foundation.

Everyone who is attending "must" register with Eventbrite in accordance with 1776's operating procedures, so they can account for everyone who is going in and out of their building.  It should be an interesting and memorable evening. Here is the link to register:  http://bitcoinmeetupdc.eventbrite.com/

While this event is free, beverages and munchies will be provided,
and we are requesting donations of $5 to cover our costs. You can send bitcoin to:

See you Wednesday

Certainly an historic day for Bitcoin...

the only question is, "Who are the fools?"

Is it the buyers or the sellers?

Time will tell.  Perhaps, it may take 3 to 5 years to know that answer. Any thoughts about when we'll know?

All are invited to our June 4th users group meeting at the Northside Social in Clarendon (Arlington, VA), off the Orange Line Metro.  The meeting starts at 7 PM, and parking is generally not a problem.  Also, if you would like to come early for dinner, please join us at 6:30.

Of course, we will have our usual roundtable discussion and open forum.  There are some new tech developments worth mentioning.

Feel free to join our group, and please RSVP if you intend to come: http://www.meetup.com/BitcoinDC/

If you have any other topics of interest you would like to discuss, please PM me or leave me a message on the meetup page.

See you Tuesday

All are invited to our November 6th users group meeting at the Northside Social in Clarendon (Arlington, VA), off the Orange Line Metro.  The meeting starts at 7 PM, and parking is generally not a problem.

The theme of this month's meeting is looking "under the hood" of Bitcoin.  Is it really just a "decentralized, distributed notary service" as one of the developers puts it?  What do miners actually do, and what's the cryptography behind Bitcoin all about?

Feel free to join our group, and please RSVP if you intend to come: http://www.meetup.com/BitcoinDC/

If you have any other topics of interest you would like to discuss, please PM me or leave me a message on the meetup page.

See you Tuesday

I just recently installed 0.6.2 in Windows 7 (64 bit).  If I am going to upgrade to 0.6.3, do I need to uninstall 0.6.2 and then install 0.6.3?
Do I need to download the entire block chain again?

Can I just install 0.6.3 over 0.6.2 without having to download the block chain again?

What about my wallet?  Will the upgrading process overwrite my existing wallet.dat file?
