Noooooo!  Please leave "Generate Coins" in!  I know it's effectively useless, but I'm not a miner, and I like to "generate" with my CPU from the main client just for kicks knowing there's a very (very very) small chance I'll get lucky!  I know it's silly, but I like it!  Pretty please leave it in!!!

You can still run -gen at the command line.  But the built-in CPU miner was always slower than ufasoft or my cpu miner.

I never generate, but I say leave it in a while longer. Maybe include a message saying that it is very unlikely to produce anything using a CPU.

God forbid I wait a day to see if this is stable enough to use... I'm only getting like 1 connection maybe on my 0.3.21 client right now!

If anybody has a link to an OSX build... I looked at compiling it myself, but wxwidgets is just a annoyingly huge

[Scarecrow]

I have only just started using this RC but so far it appears to run fine including the GUI, in my bog standard Unity desktop on Ubuntu Natty 11.04 64bit version.

I'm happy. 

[BitcoinsWallet]

I vote for leave "Generate Coins" too.

.22 working fine.

I'm just curious: Are people here only checking if the new version works or also what it does?

Frankly, there were no huge changes in this release.  The only checks that really need to happen are just does it work for you in everyday usage?  This way we can make sure nothing broke as a side effect by accident.

Builds for 0.3.22-rc3 have been uploaded to https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.22/test/

Please test the win32 installer (-win32-setup.exe), as that was not present in the -rc2 build.

For some reason when trying to Solo-mine Guiminer gives an RPC error, on .21 it's fine. Also sometimes bitcoin starts to create lots of empty connections when viewed on process explorer(might be PE bug) and starts to use full CPU core. A note: for the debug log wouldn't it be good to add some kind of time stamp?

I can't reproduce, maybe you just opened your firewall to allow incoming connections and are getting a ton of those?

[sjcire]

Seems to open properly on natty.  Thanks!  I should note that it appear that I cannot make any connections. The -testnet options does make connections however.  I dont know if this is normal or not.

I also vote for keeping the "Generate Bitcoin" checkbox, for security reasons. What if there's a massive fork attack on our current machinery? If so, we could broadcast to everyone to check that box and help defending the network. Without that checkbox, it is more complicated and perhaps beyond the skill level of a lot of users.

[Sukrim]

If there is a "huge fork attack" it would have to be done with a lot more than 50% of the network's power, just to be sure it doesn't suddenly spike.
Also such an attack would just last an hour or so at max. so ppl would REALLY need to react fast.
Additionally the CPU miner in bitcoind is far slower than specialized CPU miner...

You'll have to build your own Fedora binaries.  bitcoin is built on a recent Ubuntu.

(this is one reason why I'm pushing to remove Linux binaries from our distribution entirely, leaving it up to packagers for each OS)

- RPC: listtransactions supports range queries

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That was my biggest feature request for the RPC. And now it's in!

When do you plan to put the stable version live?

When it's stable   Help test, and make it happen sooner rather than later!
