I think this is why the link to forum was removed from bitcoin.org  |

Official Bitcoin client cannot run on ARM due to wxWidget GUI, however aletrnative qt based client (in development now) should be ok.
Ram is not a problem. I can run bitcoind even on Nokia N900 (ARM Cortex-A8)

 Omg... it shoud be *faster  |

I have tried ReactOS in VirtualBox year ago and it was unusable. However, situation may have changed. Stability may vary between VBox and real hardware... you have to try yourself, installation is really fast.

Joomla's slogan stands more true than any other, "Open source matters".
When there is an open source wallet service online, I expect security to be stronger than even a vault.
According to latest MyBitcoin disclosure, they are going to release their code to public domain. So this idea can became true. |

Oh, sry. Didn't know that... non ssl connection redirects to hiden service |

For those who doesn't have tor installed: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Friday, August 5th, 2011
From the desk of Tom Williams, operator of MyBitcoin.com
For immediate release.
_SECURITY_BREACH_DISCLOSURE_
After careful analysis of the intrusion we have concluded that the software
that waited for Bitcoin confirmations was far too lenient. An unknown
attacker was able to forge Bitcoin deposits via the Shopping Cart Interface
(SCI) and withdraw confirmed/older Bitcoins. This led to a slow trickle of
theft that went unnoticed for a few days. Luckily, we do keep a percentage of
the holdings in cold storage so the attackers didn'tt completely clean us out.
Just to clarify, we weren't "fully" hacked aka "rooted". You can still trust
our PGP, SSL, and Tor public keys.
It appears to be human error combined with a misunderstanding of how Bitcoin
secures transactions into the next block. Our programmer was under the
assumption that one block was good enough to secure a transaction. Two years
ago when the software was written, this single confirm myth was a popular
belief.
In hindsight we should have credited deposits after one confirmation so they
would show up in the transaction history, and held the deposit until it reached
at least 3 confirmations. Keeping track of two balances and displaying them in
the login area would have been trivial.
_CLAIM_PROCESS_DISCLOSURE_
We are in the process of building a claim procedure for the remainder of the
holdings now. We expect that we will have it online soon.
The claim process will consist of a online form where the claimant will be
required to enter their MyBitcoin username and password. Their balance will be
displayed along with the percentage of remaining Bitcoins that we still have in
our holdings. That percentage will be paid to a Bitcoin address of their
choosing. This percentage will be based on our current total liabilities vs.
our existing assets. We will disclose these figures as soon as they have been
totaled.
Each online claim will be written to a ledger and will be manually approved
within 48 hours of being filed online. We have decided to have a manual claim
approval process for better security. The last thing we all need right now is
for someone to breach the claim form. We are confident clients will find this
satisfactory.
_RECEIVERSHIP_
After some research and careful consideration regarding the appointment of a
receiver we have concluded that it would be very costly and slow.
Also, finding a receiver that even understands what a Bitcoin is or how to
handle the claim process online would be troublesome, and would only end up in
increasing our costs. Receivers are typically paid from the remaining assets
and we'd like to maximize the amount that we can disperse to our clients.
We have been trying to figure out a way to appoint a 3rd party to certify the
asset/liability figures, but there are many risks involved. It would involve
having us trust some unknown agent that could possibly just steal the rest of
the holdings out from under us. Or, we could be accused of bribing the 3rd
party to agree with our figures, and on and on. Trust is a real problem with an
anonymous and irrevocable currency.
It is true that we could disclose all of the Bitcoin payment addresses we
manage and let everyone look them up and track the lineage of the coins. This
is also troublesome due to the way that we defragment small payments to keep
the processing engine speedy. Also there are the moral implications of
disclosing our client's finances. We are sure that, unknowingly to us, that our
processing system has been used for nefarious purposes.
_A_GIFT_TO_THE_COMMUNITY_
After the claims have all been filed and dealt with we will be releasing the
entire MyBitcoin processing engine into the public domain. Our only hope is
that the community can improve and adapt the software to all sorts of new and
interesting Bitcoin-related things.

I would like to see option to upload encrypted backup of wallet to some predefined online storage services or own remote server via sftp or ftp and ability to download it from client on another PC.

Hi, I have problem with one of my miners recently. I have two miners on same local network. Everything was ok until few days ago, since when minerd on my laptop cannot connect. [deafboy@deafboy-notas ~]$ minerd -a 4way -s 4 -t 2 --url http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 --userpass deafboy.notas:XXXXXXXXXX
[2011-08-01 12:41:57] HTTP request failed: Empty reply from server
[2011-08-01 12:41:57] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds
[2011-08-01 12:41:59] 2 miner threads started, using SHA256 '4way' algorithm.
[2011-08-01 12:42:27] HTTP request failed: Empty reply from server
[2011-08-01 12:42:27] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds
The other miner on the same network works fine: deafboy@pathfinder:~$ minerd -a 4way -s 5 -t 4 --url http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 --userpass deafboy.pathfinder:XXXXXXXXXX
[2011-08-01 12:47:26] 4 miner threads started, using SHA256 '4way' algorithm.

I have also another two miners, each one in diferent datacenter working without problems. I can't see any reasonable explanation. And btw. I know that CPU mining on laptop is unprofitable I just can't wait for my 5970's  |

How can one recommend a service which he is not already using for some time? If we recomend new users online wallet services, they will use it (and potentially lose money) no matter what. If we recomend them regular clients, they will use the client (and potentially lose money) no matter what. Later when they can decide what services they can trust, they can switch to online wallets... bitprotection.info? I would not trust with even a satoshi to service like this  |

Then try to use some external server with more stable connection as proxy for miner. I don't know if there is miner which support proxy connections directly, but there are some apps that can tunnel specific connections trough proxy server.
I have similar problems while running torrent client. Regular connections from other PCs are slow an unstable. When I use my external server as proxy, everything is fine.
or change your router...

I showed it to a local bar owner and explained the potential of bitcoin. She seemed scared, but liked the fact of no transaction fees.
I would rather say that "there are low transaction fees" instead "There are no fees" |

I had simmilar problems with my laptop while CPU mining. When tempreature reached the critical point, wifi module simply died (once or twice a day) and I had to turn it off until it was cool again. Take a look at tempreatures
