I am having some serious problems with Bitcoin-QT on openSUSE sending bitcoins to another wallet.
I am using:
Bitcoin v0.8.6.0-g03a7d67-beta
QT v4.8.5
This post explains the issue and has all the screen shots:

Thanks,
What security features does this upgrade incorporate, or are these wallets still basically candy for CCSM's to freely take people's coin as they please?
Anyone know when will bitcoind version 0.8.7 be release?
hopefully by this month!
My estimate for 0.9 is Marchhopefully by this month!
RC2 is already out
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.9.0/test/
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5460062
I think it's going to 0.9 to help address the transaction malleability, dust spam issues, fees reduction etc.

Why don't you add these options, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/, instead of whinning.
First I'd like to know if that would be a waste of time or not. Often lack of features is a design decision not a question of code. See also: GNOME project
Bandwidth limiting on the other hand is currently stalled until parallel block download is implemented. Currently a single slowed down peer can have too much impact.
Nevertheless you may be indeed able to limit the bandwidth on the OS level, a sample QoS script for Linux is even included in contrib/qos.
"Bitcoin can be used for micropayments" they say.
Who are "they"? Do you want me to beat them up? Bitcoin is neither suitable nor designed for micropayments, it never was, and never will be. Anyone who says otherwise deserves to be punched in the face.EDIT: Typo
Can Bitcoin wallet support other coins like litecoin or Gogecoin at same time? As you know there are so many coins now.
That's like asking if my Swiss bank account supports Nigerian Prince investment fund. Or if Fort Knox will also store my collection of pretty rocks.These alt-coins are Bitcoin, with the most trivial of changes. They can be taken out at any time by 51% attack by existing miner hashrate or common computing resources. They have been killed in the past just for demonstration, but nobody seems to learn, so now they and their wannabe-rich creators are ignored. Only Namecoin is unique in offering a new feature that won't be included in Bitcoin, and it has a difficulty about 75% that of Bitcoin itself.
Is there any chance for future releases that the upload bandwidth used by bitcoind could have a throttle option?
I don't have one of these new fangled VDSL or Cable connections, I have a 8mbit ADSL connection with a staggering 256k upstream. It gives me an upload speed of 38kb/s. Bitcoin-qt sucks up all of that bandwidth which makes even browsing webpages extremely slow and painful, sometimes impossible. It would be nice if there was an option (other than 'exit') so that bitcoin-qt couldn't hijack my internet connection.
Thats being dealt with via the SPV protocol, already implemented in MultiBit client.

Good news... thanks a lot!
Electrum is easy to use but it needs centralized servers. It is not a pure P2P client.
Bitcoin-Qt is pure P2P. Multibit is pure P2P.
SPV is specified in Satoshi's original paper for thin clients; A thin client (multibit or electrum) is NOT P2P because it needs full nodes to function. Anybody can run a full node electrum server. There is no "central" electrum server: you can chose the one you want to connect to.Bitcoin-Qt is pure P2P. Multibit is pure P2P.
Multibit IS pure P2P. Schildbach's Android wallet is also pure P2P. They implement the SPV concept of Satoshi. None of the two implementations are are used in validating nodes, but they are pure P2P.

Electrum is not P2P and it does not implement Satoshi's SPV concept.
Bitcoin-Qt is P2P and their nodes fully validate transactions.
I am new to bitcoin.Which program is best for newbies? Bitcoin-qt or multibit
For newbies, I'd recommend electrum as an SPV client.Once you become familiar with bitcoin, you would want to be a full node and take the time to download the whole blockchain with bitcoin-qt and strong password for wallet encryption.
Avoid windows.

i'll wait for the 64-bit version.

Thank you very much to tell me about the release of new version. I will definitely try the new version as I was already facing few problems. I hope this update will finally solve the bugs that were becoming a headache for me. Please keep on sharing such news with me, I shall appreciate it
I have had to reload the blockchain 3 times this year!
Anybody know when the QT version that does not require you to download the chain will be available?
Anybody know when the QT version that does not require you to download the chain will be available?
Either it will download blockchain or it will not be QT.
Get electrum
Electrum != QT
Like I said.
So the answer should be: "Such version will never be available. (If it is it will not be QT anymore.)"
there is no such a version of QT..
