Bitcoin Core (Bitcoin-Qt) 0.9.1 released - update required

[laflaflaf]

I downloaded it, and update very slow

[pinger]

Does other Bitcoin clients also afected?

So basically, if you had 0.9.0, but you neither have enabled manually rpcssl from the console, nor clicked on any bitcoin link, then your wallet has always been safe and no private keys could have been leaked.

This is a relief if you have several addresses linked to shares.

How can I Upgrade my Bitcoin QT?

I use Linux Ubunto and I don't know what to do.

Being a noob myself I asked the same question and got no answer here. Just to have it clear I was using bitcoin 0.9.0 from Ubuntu PPA and
had my libssl1.0.0 updated however in the debug window it still showed old/insecure version of OpenSSL.

So here is what I did:

-First thing first back up ur wallet.
-Shut down your client.
-Now make a backup of your current bitcoin-qt executable/shared library which should be in /usr/bin

Code:

cd /usr/bin
sudo mv bitcoin-qt bitcoin-qt.bckup

-Download and verify bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz
-Navigate to your Home directory

Code:

cd ~

-and then to Downloads

Code:

cd Downloads

-unzip what you've downloaded

Code:

tar xvzf bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz

-Navigate to just unzipped directory

Code:

cd bitcoin-0.9.1-linux

-and then depending on whether your system is 32 or 64 do

Code:

cd bin/32

/* alternatively if your system is 64 do */

cd bin/64

-copy bitcoin-qt from this directory to /usr/bin

Code:

sudo cp bitcoin-qt /usr/bin

-start your client the usual way.

Hope it helps...

Is anyone else having an issue with multi-sig transactions. It seems that bitcoin 0.9.1 can't find the proper private key for the public key when using signrawtransaction. I tried on two different computers. I had to manually redo the transaction and insert the private key myself.

[androidboss]

very good，i will try it

Hi, I'm a newbie for sure.

I downloaded the new version v0.9.1.0-g026a939-beta (32-bit) and it appears to be communicating by the looks of the network traffic graph.  When I started it, days ago, it said "12 days behind" and now it says "2 weeks behind".  It also says:

 "Warning: The network does not appear to fully agree! Some miners appear to be experiencing issues.",

Should I just wait and see what happens?  Should I be concerned?

Thanks.

I have 0.9.1 version now, does it mean I'm safe?
Do I also have to delete my previous version?

EDIT: Also, are the cold addresses generated from bitaddress.org safe? Most of my cold Bitcoins are stored on addresses (with their keys) generated from bitaddress.org (i.e. the "Bulk Wallet" option)

Verifying the SHA1 checksum of the bitaddress.org HTML that you download locally is the way to be sure you are safe.

[go4nature]

I am not using bicoin-qt but i installed it and using multibit. It is necessary to update it or uninstall it?

If you don't use it you should be fine.

Dam I'm still using 8.6 QT. It seems like there needs to be constant updates. What if one were to take a break from bitcoin for 5 years? There has to be a better way to not have vulnerable wallets during this time.

If you aren't using Bitcoin you wouldn't be vulnerable.  When you decide to start using Bitcoin after your five year break you would download and install the current software.
