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.

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.

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...

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.

Paper wallets generated before 0.9 are also vulnerable if they found the public key?

Greetings.

Public Key? No.  Private Key probably although the risk of getting private key this way is academic at best.  Still if the paper wallet is funded and nobody stole the coins that is a very good canary in the coal mine.  If you have unfunded paper wallets well although the risk is very low I would just trash them and print new ones.

the new client crashes pretty nasty
ok found its my antivirus trying to avoid another bitcoin virus
people who use windows make sure when the program crashes to set any antivirus to allow the data
its a false positive

I get the same issue with Avast AV.

How can one use this exploit to steal bitcoins? I think it's quite hard if not impossible.

Bitcoin 0.9.1 in NOT working with russian version of windows!

The Windows version of Bitcoin Core 0.9.0 introduced a bug which affects data paths that contain non-ASCII characters. These are no longer recognised correctly (it's a new bug, Bitcoin-qt 0.8.* was fine with non-ASCII characters in paths). Since the data directory in Windows is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin, the problem on a Russian system is likely to be the user name. My guess is that you have a Russian user name and the program is choking on the data path. Try copying the data directory to a path that contains only Latin letters and then change the path in the options accordingly, and it will probably work.

I hope that they dont drop ppa support for bitcoin and they will update the package asap.

There is no reason to update the PPA, you need to update OpenSSL on your server, the Bitcoin PPA relies on it....

we need the Bitcoin PPA to be updated to 0.9.1.

unless someone could publish a clear, coherent way to compile the Bitcoin tar.gz

I hope that they dont drop ppa support for bitcoin and they will update the package asap.

Luke-Jr has already addressed this issue:

If you are using the graphical version of 0.9.0 on any platform, you must update immediately.
If you are using packages from your Linux distro (Ubuntu PPA included), 0.9.1 has no changes for you.
Instead, you must upgrade to a fixed OpenSSL version.
So if libssl1.0.0 has been updated then all is good and we can still use 0.9.0 ?   Cool
Just be sure it's updated to a fixed version.

And bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz is compiled. A little uncooperative maybe Smiley but compiled.
