Can you provide magnet links?

Hi Hostfat,

Yes - one of the things on my TODO list is to start PGP signing the installers so that you will be able to download them and verify that they were built by me.

At that point I think it becomes safe to torrent it as the magnet link could be on multibit.org, you'd grab it and then verify it really was built by me and not a trojan.

We probably won't need to do that for a while though as that server should be able to cope with demand for quite a while.
In the server T&Cs there is the no-doubt-usual "no torrenting copyrighted material" but I can't see any problem in torrenting your own files.

why is in the settings the fee for transactions 1BTC? and i cant make it lower.. or did i missed something?

[jim618]

The default fee amount should be 0.001 BTC, with a minimum of 0.0001 BTC

You should just be able to change the amount in the text field in Preferences and then press 'Apply changes'.

In English the amount is written, say, "0.001" but if you have your language as, say, French or Spanish it will be "0,001"

[zxyzxy]

damn, it was truly all about the coma instead of dot, oh mai.. btw the default value for a transaction really was  1BTC, nice.. kinda steep

[jim618]

Yeah - I think there is a bug lurking to do with the initial value of the fee when the user has the locale set up to use a comma. I will look into it. Like I say, the default should be 0.001 BTC

I have the decimal separator set to ",", however MultiBit (0.4.15) uses "." everywhere. (Windows XP with a customized en-US locale.)

[jim618]

The locale settings being used are based on the Java locale, which is looked up from the language. It would not pick up your Windows customisations unfortunately.

I've been really enjoying reading through the Multibit 5.0 code today. (6 hours so far).  
Somehow I think that MultiBit is going to be lots of fun to hack up.  

[jim618]

Glad you are enjoying it !

Bitcoinj does most of the heavy lifting - a lot of MultiBit code is UI stuff.

If there is anything unclear just PM me.

Because I understand it! I enjoy reading it!
It is neat, logical, and well-thought-out.
This means that your code is easily extendible.

If you are reading the code, make sure you use the latest branch:

https://github.com/jim618/multibit/tree/v0.5-bitcoinj-0.7/src

The link to github from the web site takes you to the long-abandoned master branch.

Although I'm sure you already realized this, the bitcoinj code can be found here:

http://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/source/browse/

[jim618]

Yeah - when I finally stop running two versions simultaneously I will rationalise the branches. Something more conventional like master/ development. I am sure Gary has this all worked out already in his projects so I can copy him.

[jim618]

I have set up the new MultiBit server.

The website now delivers over https and the installers are hosted on the server itself.

If you view it as http you are automatically redirected to https so you should not have to do anything.
Let me know if you have any problems or feedback in general.

Everything should be available except for some old test reports which I haven't uploaded yet.

I've been reading the https://github.com/jim618/multibit/tree/v0.5 branch.  As the v0.5-bitcoinj-0.7 wasn't stable for me.

Latest beta version, MultiBit-0.5.7beta closes immediately after opening, I just see it's window for a second.
Any way to debug it?
Using Windows 7 64-bit & Java version 7 Update 10 32bit

Hi Lenny,

You might have another MultiBit process running on your machine in the background as that can cause those symptoms. If you look in your Task Manager for processes called 'multibit' and 'java'. Either kill them or reboot your machine to get rid of them.

There are two log files multibit_console.log and multibit_debug.log in your [installation directory]/ log directory that should enable you to debug it further.

I used this branch up to 0.5.6beta I think so it is pretty up to date.

I just make sure that no multibit or java processes are not running prior to trying Multibit Beta. Same effect. Also, during this short startup it did not create any log files at all. When I deleted %APPDATA%/Multibit, it has not been created by program. Looks like it hungs before all this debugging and getting to the wallets.
Multibit 0.4.17 running on same machine works fine.

[jim618]

It sounds like it is hardly even starting for some reason. The logging redirect to the files is the first thing it does.
You could open a command line / terminal and cd to the installation direction.

If you run ./multibit.exe it might give a useful error for us.
