Bitcoin Core 0.10.0rc1 has been released

[spooderman]

Can someone tell me how the version numbering works?

I was sure after all the 0.9.x versions the next was logically.....1.xxxx

0.1 + 0.9 = 0.10

Really guys??

There is a reason it has 0.10.0. After 9 comes 10, or did you not go to primary school?

Thanks for the condescending response. I'm sure women find this attractive.

With most of the software version numbering systems I've been involved in:

• Incrementing the first number represents a major change in the architecture and underlying design of the software.
• Incremening the second number represents new enhancements, and significant bug fixes
• Incrementing the third number represents minor bug fixes and very small changes to features (often considered a "maintenance release")

So, we could easily end up on version 0.957.3 (3rd maintenance release of the 957th enhancement release of the original code base) some day if there is no compelling reason to change the first digit of the version number.

Interestingly, we often see altcoins trying to represent themselves as "Bitcoin 2.0" which is rather entertaining since there hasn't even been a "Bitcoin 1.0" yet.

Good work guys. keep it up. This is great improvement. But still I am waiting for final version.

you can wait a long time, my friend ... all P2P freeware are in a "done" version (like 0.50a ... 1.16.23 or 0.89g).

v1.0 is marketing.

But still I am waiting for final version.

You mean the stable version of 0.10.0 I'm assuming?

Could also mean that he is waiting for 1.0.0, which we might not see for many years.

Exactly, I was not clearly enough.

Thanks Danny. It is unjust that you are not labelled as a "Legend" on here.

[LiteCoinGuy]

good work and the increased syncing is great!

Titles never really impress me much.

Legendary comes at a random interval between 775 and 1030 activity.

At the moment, I've got 924 activity, so I'm in the proper range, but just haven't yet reached my personal random value.

Since activity increases by 14 every 2 weeks, I should reach "Legendary" sometime in the next 15 weeks.

I've yet to test this with TOR.

Use the Mozilla system, then it will be at 40.0.0 by Valentines day.

cool changes

I hope we can have an stable version soon

[HCLivess]

Pretty nice, thanks.

[Madness]

It had 13 week left for sync with the network . I closed it (yes I waited as it says) then when I opened it again , It says that the database or something got corrupted and ask me if I restore or "Abort" when I click "ok" to restore ... well It just go back to 5 years left for sync ... anyway I can make it back to 13 week ? it takes time ehre

[BadAss.Sx]

If it needs to reindex you'll have to wait for it. But it should go faster with the RC build...

I sure miss my SSD. Bitcoin client started up instatnely on my SSD. With my regular HHD it takes sometimes 15 minutes to load.

Its because the blockchain is too big for the SSD>

Much faster download than 0.9.3.  Complete blockchain sync from scratch in 8.5 hours.  Speed was limited by CPU (core i5 650) rather than the network thanks to simultaneous downloads from multiple peers.
