100 extra bitpennies. How about defining "bitpenny"? Logically speaking, I would assume it is 0.01 BTC, in which case you're offering 1 BTC? Correct, 1 bitpenny = .01 BTC, and the BitPenny Bonus is equivalent to 1 bitcoin.

Using GUIMiner with BitPenny: BitPenny now uses a custom local client. To connect to BitPenny using GUIMiner, please do not use the BitPenny pool default options. Instead, select "Other" for the server, set the host to "localhost" (or the location of your BitPenny client) and set the port to the one that you specified in bitpenny.conf

Please update your bitpenny.conf files to point to the new poolhost address: poolhost=bitpenny.dyndns-ip.com The old address will be disabled on November 13th.

After obtaining bitpenny V0.4.0.1 and decpmpressing it to another location. I installed Notepadd++ to read the installation file. I downloaded the linked dependencies. I downloaded and installed QT SDK 2.4.0 based on QT 4.7.4. I copied the dependencies into the folder as stated in the directions after decompressing them. I am running windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. My results for a build ctrl+b are as follows and fails: Several Unescaped backslashes are Deprecated.(should still compile even using older code) Several included file issues. ( likely that missing files are wallet related problems) Several critical errors on boost.( this may be why it will not compile. but when I copied the files into the nclude folder as specified it should avoid this one. except it explicitly states that the files missing are wallet related files.) Several critical errors on openSSL File not found. dbcxxFile or folder not found. ISO C++ forbids declaration of boost without type. Tons in serialize.H. ctx was not declared in scope. sha256 was not declared in scope. ripemd160 was not declared in scope. sort is not a memeber of std. Forbids declaration of bn_ctx with no type. expected ';' before boot and there are more. Is there a way to copy all the errors and submit them or what direction was not followed correctly to make these errors. If I was guessing I would say the include files are not being included and the code base is for a previous iteration of QT SDK but as I have no notation of what revision to use I have toassume that the old code would not break the compile. This really reminds me of instructions on how to compile VB 5 code after VB.NET came out. Thanks for your help!

Askit2, Bitpenny is a daemon and does not support QT. Please see build-msw.txt for dependencies (substituting "bitpennyd" for "bitcoind" where necessary), and use src/makefile.bitpenny.mingw to build. You can also join our IRC channel for live help, or download a Windows binary directly. Good luck, and welcome to BitPenny!

Ok so somewhere in the 3 lines of text that scroll way off notepad and frequently have missing spaces there is a way to somehow compile it. why is it the README_Windows.txt is even there if that other text doc is the one for windows..... second i see several things that could be code but like I said seems to be missing spaces. Either that or I have 0 idea what it is supposed to say as notepad seems to only see 3 Carrige returns. Apparently it will show with proper lines in IE. Really wish I had thought of that last night. Just an aside why if the ready to build versions are available do they have so many additional things in them I guess I do need some bitcoin software. I can get it sepearately but I do appreciate it being available but why mix up the files. The multiple read me's seem more confusing then required as it would seem by moving the bitcoin service compile files into a folder the bitpenny files into a folder and the compiler into a folder you could have instructions in the relevent files that would be far easier to understand then this. Although if the .txt files opened correctly with notepad it may be far more understandable. I guess I really was hoping to avoid the IRC channel to get an executable. I have to rely on someone there to have not monkeyed with the source. I suppose the same could be said for the default source provided but if the same person where providing source and executables maybe it would be simpler or at least give me less cause for concern. Still I appreciate the help just wish I could open with other text editors and view correctly. But I understand this would likely break viewing on Linux or unix. Sadly it seems far easier to build on linux.Well I am rambling off to try to piece together the instructions and hope I get something this time.
Now I see how I got off I read to this line then moved to the other file as indicated hoping for a GUI. See readme-qt.rst for instructions on building Bitcoin QT, thegraphical user interface. I am going to assume this is not a GUI for the service.
Where is the mingW332 that it assures me is on C:? I assume I have to get it from somewhere but what version it does not say. Also the dependencies all but one indicate a mingw version but I can find none I assume is tar.gz but again I am guessing.

Bitpennyd is a client that is based on bitcoind (the bitcoin daemon), the GUI part applies to bitcoin but not to bitpenny. The executable is provided by us (the same people who provide the source) at https://github.com/ForceMajeure/BitPenny-Client/tree/master/bin/win32I hope that helps a bit.

I ment no offense by it. I just ment when I download the entire thing as one big zip I have two folders that would seem like they should have executables. They did not. I had hoped the x86_64 would work natvely as a 64 bit application but I suppose I was mistaken. I apparently did not check the win32 file I am sorry for wasting your time with that. Of course the other two are for linux. Thank you for helping me I am sorry I missed the working executable while looking for 64 bit support.
That having been said. I get this error running it on the command prompt
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\BitPenny\bin\win32>bitpennyd.exe
************************ EXCEPTION: 11DbException Db::open: Invalid argument C:\BitPenny\bin\win32\bitpennyd.exe in AppInit()
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DbException' what(): Db::open: Invalid argument
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
C:\BitPenny\bin\win32>
DB files are not being placed in DB folder because of a wrong slash. all \ exccept last one that is programatically put in is /.Finally windows asked about the firewall. At least it got farther then before. Well any idea what I can do to fix it. I have tried deleting the DB forcing it to recreate it. Also tried running by double clicking but as it doesn't keep running that is not helpful. Should I run some command before trying to execute this executable?
looked up the switches none say required but adding a couple got me this error
EXCEPTION: N5boost16exception_detail10clone_implINS0_19error_info_injectorINS_6system12sys tem_errorEEEEE bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions C:\Users\<user Name>\Desktop\bitpennyd.exe in ThreadRPCServer()
Any Idea what is wrong? It makes a wallet.dat then dies immediately after. Well dies immediately after starting threadRPC server.
If I copy the BLKindex.dat file into bitpenny from my wallet I can get this error still not running.
************************ EXCEPTION: NSt8ios_base7failureE CAutoFile::read : end of file
Well hope to get this setup at some point but so far it isn't. Above error also happens with run as admin. Assumed it didn't require that as it would have acess beyond "Sandboxed" area.

Debug.log has this in it from most recent run:
Bitcoin version 0.5.1-beta Default data directory C:\Users\<user Name>\AppData\Roaming\BitPenny Bound to port 8332 Loading addresses... dbenv.open strLogDir=C:\Users\<user Name>\AppData\Roaming\BitPenny/database strErrorFile=C:\Users\<user Name>\AppData\Roaming\BitPenny/db.log Loaded 0 addresses addresses 807ms Loading block index...

************************ EXCEPTION: NSt8ios_base7failureE CAutoFile::read : end of file C:\Users\<user Name>\Desktop\bitpennyd.exe in AppInit()
Nothing in DB.log this time. Last time it referenced addr.dat. All User names match. Db files not being in their folder is odd but I believe it finds them. I know older windows would allow either slash to make a folder it looks as though win 7 does not.

They appear as mined (coinbase transaction).

I've merged BitPennyd with the latest 0.5.x branch to bring it up to speed. This is not affected by the bad blocks issue, and has many other bugfixes made to bitcoind since BitPennyd was originally released (it was based on a 0.5.1 RC): https://github.com/luke-jr/bitcoin/tree/bitpenny
