Another (much cleaner looker) merchant system for BitCoin

Full disclosure: the author is a friend of mine.  To use the service as a merchant you need a Google account.  I believe the system only works for customers who have JavaScript enabled.

So, apparently I can't send something as small as 4 BTC right now without a 0.01 tx fee.  That's crazy!  Does anyone know about where the tx fee threshold is?

I am selling XMPP hosting for domains.  1 BTC/month

This service allows you to have one or more addresses you@yourdomain.tld that are on the XMPP/Jabber network.  This is the same network that GTalk is on, and you will be able to chat with GTalk users from your accounts.

Unlimited accounts per domain.

TLS supported, but you must provide your own cert.

Server will run the latest version of Prosody.im

Discussion/questions on this thread are appreciated.  Please send any orders to xmpp-hosting@singpolyma.net

So, we can tx to IPs... can we tx to DNS names?  I don't have a static IP, but I do have DynDNS...

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'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)

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.
