Bitcoin Core 0.11.0 has been released

[shorena]

BTC I was wandering with bitcoin core, I have 50% storage free in my drive C:/, then I was installing bitcoin core, then I sync it to the network, When I browse my drives I saw drive C:/ on red alert, and I said "what happen?" I'll checking the storage and I saw the reason, bitcoin core sync downloading all blocks and data with more than 30GB capacity stored in my drive C:/, now I'm asking myself,

So your local drive is only 60GB? Just asking, not judging.

"why should I depend in local bitcoin wallet?" I can store my bitcoin in online wallet like in blockchain, right?

There is a middle ground between the extremes of storing a complete copy of the blockchain and trusting a 3rd party. Slim or light clients like multibit (HD) or electrum (2) do not require you to download the entire blockchain, but still run on your local machine without you needing to trust someone offering a wallet service.

Maybe if that would be, I have to purchase a new computer for bitcoin wallet storage and bitcoin mining only,

Mining with a computer is dead, if you dont have specialized hardware dont even bother.

What is good for you and for us? what is the purpose being depending the local wallet?

What is good for me might not be what is good for you. Thats why there are different solutions, not everyone needs bitcoin core, but the network certainly needs to run full nodes. Without full nodes some client can not gather the data, without full nodes miners cant mine and without full nodes your transactions cant get relayed to miners to get a confirmation. The purpose of depending on a local wallet is that you do not need to trust someone else with your money. You only have to depend on yourself and your security practices. This is certainly not for everyone, but with bitcoin its possibility.

Can we have someone who can audit?

Can we have someone who can audit?

Do you mean code audit ? If yes, the code is open in the Github and anyone can do it for themselve. If you want someone else to do it for you, then you need to tell how much you are willing to pay for that.

Kind of glad that I just started and I already get the upgrade/update to my wallet.  Though that did take a while to sync up upon launching.

I upgraded my node a while ago and just wanted to thank the devs for all of their hard work!

[Mikestang]

So far I have had to rebuild the blockchain twice since "updating" to 0.11.0.  Both times I received a "cannot read database" error, and upon restart I was prompted to re-syn the chain.  Dunno if this is a hardware error on my side or not, but I did not have these issues on the 0.10.x releases.

Edit - Now core won't even startup after this last db error.  It gets to activating best chain then crashes with no error... I really want to run a full node, but it's becoming too much of a hassle.

[Mikestang]

I completely uninstalled 0.11.0 and reinstalled it on a different partition.  Currently re-downloading the blockchain... again... hopefully the new location will clear up these errors.

What's a portable Bitcoin core?

Portable means ----} able to be easily carried or moved, especially because of being a lighter and smaller version than usual. light version of bitcoin core that no need to download all blocks from server....

No, there is only one version of core and it requires you to download the entire blockchain.

You want an SPV wallet: https://www.google.com/search?q=spv+wallet

I upgraded to Bitcoin Core 0.11 on Ubuntu MATE 14.04, but quickly went back to 0.10.2.
New version of bitcoin-qt looks odd - small fonts, ugly icons. Is this something with new version of QT used?
Also, program icon is not displayed in notification area when I closed the window. Had to end bitcoin-qt with system monitor.

It's more of an amateur. I propose to Vote

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).
Downgrade warning

Because release 0.10.0 and later makes use of headers-first synchronization and parallel block download (see further), the block files and databases are not backwards-compatible with pre-0.10 versions of Bitcoin Core or other softwar

I'm completely lost 

What the heck does it mean to upgrade?

Are you talking about that wallet you download on your computer and it takes hours to synchronize with the network?
Is that the thing you're talking about upgrading?

I'm confused... I haven't messed with offline wallet for years.
I use like Coinbase and Blockchain as a wallet.......
So how the heck do you upgrade?

Can anyone break this down in laymans terms?

Have you read the thread or at least the title?

It means to upgrade Bitcoin Core <0.11 to Bitcoin Core 0.11.

Are you talking about that wallet you download on your computer and it takes hours to synchronize with the network?
Is that the thing you're talking about upgrading?

They are many wallets and Bitcoin Core is one of them. Bitcoin Core takes a few hours to a few days to synchronize completely and SPV wallets syncs faster but it still takes a few hours and you won't get some features you get in Bitcoin Core.

I'm confused... I haven't messed with offline wallet for years.
I use like Coinbase and Blockchain as a wallet.......

They are online wallets. I recommend you to use Coinbase multisig wallet instead of their default wallet and I highly recommend to stay away from Blockchain.info wallet because of their buggy codes and lack of good development.

So how the heck do you upgrade?

If you want to use a local wallet(aka offline wallet), download one and send Bitcoins from your online wallet(here, Coinbase or Blockchain.info online wallet) to local wallet you have installed.

Can anyone break this down in laymans terms?

Okay?

Cool thanks. Excuse my paranoia. Bitcoin XT and Bear market gots me on edge lately.

[Mikestang]

I completely uninstalled 0.11.0 and reinstalled it on a different partition.  Currently re-downloading the blockchain... again... hopefully the new location will clear up these errors.

And finally finished re-syncing.  I have cable internet and it took 4 days to acquire the blockchain again.  I thought it was supposed to be much faster after 0.10.x...
