What is going on here? Is this a BUG? There was a bug in the upstream leveldb that could rarely lead to what you're seeing and was fixed a while back. There hasn't been a new Windows msi released yet. You can build from source quite easily with Go on Windows if you want to build with the latest code. There will be another msi release soon which includes that fix along with several other enhancements.

Is it normal that my new .exe builds are smaller than the "original" ones? they are just 12 MB (x86) and 15MB (x64) big! original x64 = 18MB

You'll need to delete your database from "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Btcd\data\mainnet", so the chain download starts over. The issue is your existing database is corrupt (hence why you're seeing the issue looking up a specific transaction), so only upgrading the code alone won't fix it. However, the root cause that led to the corruption to begin with is what updating the code resolves. I should have mentioned that in my original response. As far as the size, the last released msi was built with the Go 1.2 runtime, and I'm guessing you built the latest with the most recent Go 1.3.1 run-time, so a difference in size is expected. 12MB (x86) and 15MB (x64) is what I have as well with the go 1.3 runtime. EDIT: I just rebuilt to verify: x6409/18/2014 10:13 AM 15,415,296 btcd.exe x8609/18/2014 10:15 AM 12,524,544 btcd.exe

I recently switched from running bitcoind to btcd on linux.
Once golang was installed it’s pretty much an automated installation process – 1 command to auto download and install the btcd package. A well-documented sample config file is provided that was easy to tailor. Launched it and done.
Full network sync from scratch took 26 hours. Memory usage is in the 200MB range. Couple of days in it’s been rock solid and seems to be working great.
I’m hugely impressed with what the devs have achieved. Their code appears to be clean, modular, well documented and comprehensively covered by tests. So a great base to build on.

Would you please file an issue on the btcd issue tracker? We'll need to get your database logs to track down your issue.

zznbey:
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but I think perhaps you are confused. The btcd code is ISC licensed and freely available for all to fork and modify as they see fit. It is no different than Bitcoin Core in that respect.

I've also recently tested btcd out, and the code looks clean + tests are present. I do see better performance than bitcoind, as well. Keep up the good work!

Can you subscribe to new unconfirmed transactions with btcd ?like the blockchain API: https://blockchain.info/de/api/api_websocketI currently use the blockchain API for my site: btcaudio.tk/livebut I want to use my own bitcoin node for this .. can I do this with btcd?

I want to connect to my btcd-server with javascript <!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>WebSocket Test</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var wsUri = "ws://echo.websocket.org/"; var output;
function init() { output = document.getElementById("output"); testWebSocket(); }
function testWebSocket() { websocket = new WebSocket(wsUri); websocket.onopen = function(evt) { onOpen(evt) }; websocket.onclose = function(evt) { onClose(evt) }; websocket.onmessage = function(evt) { onMessage(evt) }; websocket.onerror = function(evt) { onError(evt) }; }
function onOpen(evt) { writeToScreen("CONNECTED"); doSend("WebSocket rocks"); }
function onClose(evt) { writeToScreen("DISCONNECTED"); }
function onMessage(evt) { writeToScreen('<span style="color: blue;">RESPONSE: ' + evt.data+'</span>'); websocket.close(); }
function onError(evt) { writeToScreen('<span style="color: red;">ERROR:</span> ' + evt.data); }
function doSend(message) { writeToScreen("SENT: " + message); websocket.send(message); }
function writeToScreen(message) { var pre = document.createElement("p"); pre.style.wordWrap = "break-word"; pre.innerHTML = message; output.appendChild(pre); }
window.addEventListener("load", init, false);
</script>
<h2>WebSocket Test</h2>
<div id="output"></div> http://www.websocket.org/echo.htmlCan I disable the RPC-CERTIFICATES or how can I connect with Javascript over TLS?

I just saw this. You can't disable TLS, but I have a gist up on my github which demonstrates how to connect via TLS that I've tested with firefox and chrome: https://gist.github.com/davecgh/8a16b1048fe0fb406d29Make sure you modify the username and password near the top of the file in the javascript to the correct values or you'll get an undefined error since btcd will immediately disconnect you upon receiving invalid credentials.

Hi. first of all Thank you for great software! I`m using it and fully satisfied! Want to ask a question: Is there any guide on how to convert BTCD or complete solution for litecoin and dogecoin based on BTCD??
Thank you!

Is this normal?
I am installing btcd on a Widows 7 (64-bit) machine with the .msi istaller. On the initial sync, I'm up to block 324k -- and the HDD is reading/writing constantly! The green light on my box hardly even flashes. It's much more ON than OFF.
I tried stopping the program, rebooting the computer and starting the program again. But the behaviour continues, and this has gone on like this for several hours now.
Will this go away or get better when the blockchain is fully synced, or is this normal behaviour for btcd?

I don't know of any guides on converting the code base for LTC/DOGE. I know there has been some work to create ppcd which is for peercoin, so that is probably a pretty good place to see some conversion work that has been done. Is this normal?

After the final checkpoint (currently at 319400), it starts to do full verification on the blocks, which is why you see the heavy HDD usage (it's loading every single input transaction to every transaction in every new block). This is also true of all full nodes that must do verification and is normal until you're fully synced at which point the usage drops significantly.
