Announcing version 0.3 of Bitcoin, the P2P cryptocurrency! Bitcoin is a
digital currency using cryptography and a distributed network to replace
the need for a trusted central server. Escape the arbitrary inflation
risk of centrally managed currencies! Bitcoin's total circulation is
limited to 21 million coins. The coins are gradually released to the
network's nodes based on the CPU power they contribute, so you can get a
share of them by contributing your idle CPU time.

What's new:
- Command line and JSON-RPC control
- Includes a daemon version without GUI
- Transaction filter tabs
- 20% faster hashing
- Hashmeter performance display
- Mac OS X version (thanks to Laszlo)
- German, Dutch and Italian translations (thanks to DataWraith, Xunie
and Joozero)

Get it at http://www.bitcoin.org, and read the forum to find out more.

Yes - bitcoin kind of went dead.

The trouble is that bitcoin, to be useful, needs an ecology of users.

Long ago, I had an argument with the guy who designed it about scaling.
I heard no more of it - of course with no one using it, scaling is not
a problem. I do not know if the software is in useable condition, or
has been tested for scaleability.

Bitcoin is a coordination mechanism between lots of people, and we do
not have lots of people - I do not see how to get there from here, and
am not altogether sure that the software as written will work if we do
get there.

In order to be useful, needs to be integrated with a messaging and
billing system, so that you can send messages containing bills or money.
I am pretty sure that no such system exists, and it is no small amount
of work to create it.



It is a neat idea, to solve a problem

Version 0.1.5 is now available. It includes the fix for the problem Nicholas had, checking for disk full and changes to try to improve things that were confusing.

Special thanks to Nicholas and Dustin for all their help and feedback!

Changes:

- created minimum fee for transactions less than 1 cent

That just means it failed to create a minidump, so yeah, not the cause of
the crash.

To find the cause of the crash you'd need to run it with a +seh,+relay trace
and find out what the app was doing before it crashed, or look in the
bitcoin logs.

[bitcoin-list] Bitcoin v0.1.2 now available
From: Satoshi Nakamoto <satoshi@vi...> - 2009-01-11 22:32:18
Bitcoin v0.1.2 is now available for download.

See http://www.bitcoin.org for the download link.

All the problems I've been finding are in the code that
automatically finds and connects to other nodes, since I wasn't
able to test it in the wild until now. There are many more ways
for connections to get screwed up on the real Internet.

Bugs fixed:
- Fixed various problems that were making it hard for new nodes to
see other nodes to connect to.
- If you're behind a firewall, it could only receive one
connection, and the second connection would constantly disconnect
and reconnect.

These problems are kind of screwing up the network and will get
worse as more users arrive, so please make sure to upgrade.

[bitcoin-list] Bitcoin v0.1 Alpha release notes
From: Satoshi Nakamoto <satoshi@vi...> - 2009-01-12 20:20:47
Release notes for Bitcoin v0.1 Alpha

Bitcoin is a new electronic cash system that uses a peer-to-peer
network to prevent double-spending. It's completely decentralized
with no server or central authority.

You can find screenshots and the download link at:
http://www.bitcoin.org

Windows only for now. Open source C++ code is included.

- Unpack the files into a directory
- Run BITCOIN.EXE
- It automatically connects to other nodes

If you can keep a node running that accepts incoming connections,
you'll really be helping the network a lot. Port 8333 on your
firewall needs to be open to receive incoming connections.

The software is still alpha and experimental. There's no guarantee
the system's state won't have to be restarted at some point if it
becomes necessary, although I've done everything I can to build in
extensibility and versioning.

You can get coins by getting someone to send you some, or turn on
Options->Generate Coins to run a node and generate blocks. I made
the proof-of-work difficulty ridiculously easy to start with, so
for a little while in the beginning a typical PC will be able to
generate coins in just a few hours. It'll get a lot harder when
competition makes the automatic adjustment drive up the difficulty.
Generated coins must wait 120 blocks to mature before they can be
spent.

There are two ways to send money. If the recipient is online, you
can enter their IP address and it will connect, get a new public
key and send the transaction with comments. If the recipient is
not online, it is possible to send to their Bitcoin address, which
is a hash of their public key that they give you. They'll receive
the transaction the next time they connect and get the block it's
in. This method has the disadvantage that no comment information
is sent, and a bit of privacy may be lost if the address is used
multiple times, but it is a useful alternative if both users can't
be online at the same time or the recipient can't receive incoming
connections.

Total circulation will be 21,000,000 coins. It'll be distributed
to network nodes when they make blocks, with the amount cut in half
every 4 years.

first 4 years: 10,500,000 coins
next 4 years: 5,250,000 coins
next 4 years: 2,625,000 coins
next 4 years: 1,312,500 coins
etc...

When that runs out, the system can support transaction fees if
needed. It's based on open market competition, and there will
probably always be nodes willing to process transactions for free.
