Satoshi Client Operation: Overview

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

what version of the code is this?

Old one, you can see the thread was made in 2011. From then to now the code has changed A LOT.

The thread does say Original Bitcoin client, so probably from 0.3.23 and earlier?

Great job!

I have worked with allot of open source applications before like VLC and I can tell you this sort
of clear concise documentation without fluff is invaluable.

We newbies stand in debt to you.

this documentation is so old, it borders on useless.  Some of these files don't exist and many of them have been refactored and/or moved.  Maybe when the dev team actually wants people to be able to help, they will take a moment to point people in the right direction.

See this reply :

Nodes currently only store the historical blockchain for serving out to newly initializing peers and for stats queries in the rpc. Since 0.8 the software is restructured so that it never accesses it otherwise, and the next release will likely include a feature to operate with only about 1GB storage.

I think they are trying to make it simpler.

I do see that this thread was created in 2011, and probably longer relevant towards the current Satoshi Client; I would still like to thank you for your efforts in closing the gap between developers and users. I have been picking apart some of the older clients as well and with the way the code is laid out, it can quickly become overwhelming. Although my findings were similar to yours, it was a pleasurable read that helped me evaluate my findings with a better since of clarity.

Thanks!

[provenceday]

that's really a nice instructions.

[jeeri]

You deserve much appreciation dude.
Really it is very very helpful for endeavors like me. I have been looking for this kind of primary hand guide to start with. The best thing is you also mentioned what things need to be equipped with for understanding the source code. I'm going to make use of it now.

Thank you very much.

Everything I need to work on Satochi's and mine them, good information, thanks for the help!
