I thought Windows XP was obsolete. Is it still safe to connect one of those machines to the internet?

What makes you think that newer versions of Windows are safer?

Bit of a strawman reply here. I never mentioned anything about newer versions of Windows being safer.

Not intended. I really thought you were advocating an update to a newer Windows version.

From my point of view both Windows and Linux systems will never be 100% secure. I know that Linux users tend to think that their system is more secure, but an open source code does not help if people don't review the code and identify all attack vectors before others exploit them. From my point of view what's most important is to be aware that no system is 100% secure and adjust behavior accordingly.

Edit: On topic: I'm really looking forward to the final release of 0.10.0. There are a lot of great improvements.

Maybe these versions even have more intentional backdoors than the previous ones.

Using XP is unsafe only if you use Internet Explorer and allow scripts.

you can't learn from depreciates OS ... to do what you "want" to do.
i can't do what i want in mac or linux system because of proprietary driver and ... proprietary software (i don't talk about adobe or nvidia, folks).

Perfect, the RC3 of 0.10.0 work with WinXP 32 bits + all KBs installed ... and a solo-mining server or P2Pool mining client. Grin

when the "delete address" will be added? it's not that important i know, but it's always a plus to have

You mean the option of deleting an address from a wallet?
Interesting, request, it would definitely be very useful.

yeah, right now you need to re-create a new wallet to do this, it could be doing easily with a send to other folder that hide them

anyway this version is not signed yet, it is because of the rc1 state?

It is. Grab the SHA256SUMS.asc file from the directory.

windows it say the typical caution message when i run the installer

Initial sync is faster than it used to be, but it's still faster to torrent bootstrap.dat and sync that way.

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

It was reindexing as you said .. but suddenly and when It reached the "2 years xx weeks" It start synchronizing with the network again and now I should wait a lot ... why It didn't continue reindexing fast till 13 weeks left where it stopped exactly ?

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.

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>

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 ? Sad

it takes time ehre
