[ANN] Bitcoin v0.3.24 release candidate available

[wujh]

Please do remember, find a easy folder to save the wallet file that the user need to back up.

Don't put it at %APPDATA%/bitcoin anymore.For geeky it's easy, but for average users  it's difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I suggest to let the user chose where to put the wallet file, and the software just recommand some simple folder, like D:/bitcoinwallet/ and in this folder, don't put those rubbish file in it, just the wallet!!!please!

Better yet: a simple "Export wallet..." button in the GUI. The backupwallet RPC call is already implemented, so it should be easy if you know Tk and C++.

What is this? Where can we find more info about whatever it is?

The default client requires the current hash at 134444 to remain unchanged.  This is exactly like all previous block chain lock-ins.

[eramus]

will the wallet encryption be required? or optional? is there a doc/thread that talks about the encryption procedures? just curious.

[bitcoinminer]

Can you put in a setting for adjusting down the difficulty?  I'd like to produce about double the coins I currently do.
