Damn, where is Satoshi ?  

I have it on good authority that Satoshi's spirit in now inhabiting a time-traveling crypto developer living in Canada.

... I would not recommend using Bitcoin core as a wallet due to the fact that it will delete your private keys after a certain number of transactions (it will delete the oldest key once the key pool is used up and replace it with a newly generated key to maintain a consistent number of private keys in it's wallet...

Wait... Whaaaat?

It seems I was mistaken about this, as a little bit of research regarding the key pool has proved this statement to be incorrect. I have revised my post to reflect that you are at risk of loosing access to your funds if you use too many addresses after your most recent backup and something happens to your wallet file.

So if you create a backup, and then do more than 100 things that cause a new key to be used, and then restore from the backup, some Bitcoins will be lost. Bitcoin has not deleted any keys (keys are never deleted) – it has created a new key that is not in your old backup and then sent Bitcoins to it. A backup is therefore recommended roughly every 50 transactions (or address creations) just to be safe.

Thanks for correcting your statement. You had me worried for a minute there. Good backup procedures make this a non-issue. Even lax backup procedures work, if your backups never get more than 100 new key usages out of date.

FTR, I still am not a fan of using Bitcoin as a wallet program because it does not deterministically generate your private keys.

Whatev. Different strokes. I understand your position, but I'm fine with Core.

The developers have taken a program that was stable and turned it into a very unstable program that crashes all the time.

Bitcoin Core NEVER crashed on me until I installed 0.10.+, now I've had dozens of crashes. Once again it's crashed so hard I probably have to rebuild the blockchain... which is a waste of time since it will crash again.

Time for new developers, whoever was involved in making this is hurting the community.

I thought about downgrading too. V0.1 is a piece of shit. Starting up the wallet takes about 8 to 20 times as much time as the old version.
Also crashes on me when i close it. Block indexing makes troubles. Think in some setups it could be even worse.

Turned into a shitcoin-wallet.

Oh yeah, extremely unstable.  Using up 100% cpu?  And gobbling up all RAM?  

My VM running bitcoind.  Yep, a VM.  Not even a full physical computer, only 8GB RAM, no dedicated SSD, shared with other VMs on the same host.  Upgraded about a week ago, have been running through all the stress testing, never a blip.  And yes, I run a wallet as well.

Y'all are probably having physical machine issues.  Or, you messed something up in the upgrade.  There's zero wrong with core itself.

So i guess a lot of people are having problems with the current version, is there a review website we could all vote or comment so we could get a revise version ?

LOL. A statement like that is a double-edged sword. Who else could have coded that if not Hal Finney, Jeff Garzik, Gavin Adresen, etc? Ingrate.

You shouldn't be running bitcoin apps on windoze anyways. All the hacks, thefts, and crashes that I've heard of on this forum came from windoze bitcoin apps. Install Linux dual boot. I only use windoze for stuff that has no apps available in linux such as easy to use CAD software.

Have you tested your hardware?

I run the latest version on multiple, varying age computers (with a few different OSes) non-stop for weeks at a time. I haven't had a single crash or instability issue what-so-ever.

Any problems I've had with Bitcoin-Qt or Core in the past has usually been due to failing hardware. It's quite good at finding a weak spot in your system.

I've tested it with the memtest, and every other program works fine. I wouldn't be shocked if it's due to an interaction with Windows, since Windows is an even bigger flaming piece of crap. I really miss when Bitcoin Core would never crash

It`s not broken all my transactions just took a little longer 4 days to clear

It`s not broken all my transactions just took a little longer 4 days to clear 

my transactions are working smoothly without any delay to be get cleared and Core is not broking on my side all thing working perfect, it seems some issue on your side but sometime transaction takes more than 6 confirmations to get clear.

[Amph]

It`s not broken all my transactions just took a little longer 4 days to clear 

this has nothing to do with core, but with the spam, attack, call it what you want, that we are facing recently

with spv would have been the same in this case
