As asked for in another thread, info even small from users who are using a client.
Running 0.7.0 on Win7 64 no problems, not turning the client on much though due to having mobile connection and saving my download limits. I never wanted to comment in these threads much because my tech knowledge is very limited even though I can piece them together hardware wise.
I will put my its running ok or not up from now on.
Thanks for all the hard work as well dev team.
Topic: Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind version 0.7.0 released (Read 25323 times)
This client opens much slower for me
However, the text in the comment is "bitcoin+foundation+donation". I don't know if the '+' symbols are supposed to be rendered like that.
That's a problem in the website, not the client. %20 should be used to encode spaces in URIs, not "+":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2678551/when-to-encode-space-to-plus-and-when-to-20
Huh.
That's a problem with BIP 20-- it doesn't say how the parameters are encoded. I assumed they were encoded the same way as http URLs (application/x-www-form-encoded) because the bitcoin: scheme is very similar to the http scheme (where everything after the ? is x-www-form-encoded); are they not?
Can you please change
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" "$1"
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" "%1"
Changed the "$1" part of the registry value to "%1". Works fine now.
I believe I upgraded to 0.7 from 0.6.2. Possibly from 0.6.3. (Not from an RC version.)
Would forcing the registry value to "%1" during installation break anything?
Thanks for the help.

Can you guys please tell me, if you did an upgrade install or removed the old version before installing 0.7?
Another interesting thing would be how the Bitcoin URI entry in your registry looks like.
Enter regedit and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bitcoin\shell\open\command for that info.
Oh and please verify that you are using latest 0.7 release and no former RC!

I installed over the RC versions.
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" "$1"
The drag and drop method works.

Of course! The symbol switching did the job. Thanks.

^^ Thank's for the info.
Seam's to take forever for confirmation's now. 32 confirmation's for a Tx done 3 hour's ago. Took a long time just to get 1(about 20 min or so) is this normal for this version?
The timing of each confirmation is dependent on the network, not your client version.
Sometimes blocks are confirmed more slowly, sometimes blocks are confirmed more rapidly.
It is only the targetted average that is 10 minutes per confirmation. This is a target that the network is always striving for, but -- due to probability -- never attains.

If the registration doesn't work, you can also drag&drop a bitcoin: URI to the running client (this was the original mechanism).
it looks like 0.70 is registering the bitcoin: URI protocol (at least in Windows) but if I already have the bitcoin client running, I get an error.
Same error on my end, when clicking the provided URI to pay the Bitcoin Foundation of all things. (W7 64bit)
In short: When Bitcoin-Qt was not running, the application would launch normally, and then proceed to do... nothing in particular.
(I'm assuming something is meant to happen at this point. It doesn't.)
So, I kill the application and click the link again. Same result. With mild annoyance, I repeat this a this a few times over.
I try to find some way to manually paste the link. (Because that sounds like something one should be able to do.) No luck there either.
At which point I give up and extract the address from the URI (no plaintext address was provided)
After conceding defeat, I finally manage to paste the address, smack a label on it, add the specified amount and
do the transaction by hand, while trembling and cursing in terrible anger.
I tried using the Donation link on the bitcoin foundation page, and nothing happened in the bitcoin client. I don't know what the expected behavior is, but I assume it isn't nothing.
Downloading the blockchain in 0.7, seems a lot faster

Thanks to you Gavin and to the whole team.
A minor issue, not sure if yet reported. 0.7.0 client does not allow to transfer the whole balance, stating an incorrect initial fee (prior to ‘send’ confirmation). My example: balance 0.1739839, client does not allow to spend more then 0.1719839 (initially assumes 0.002 minimum fee), the minimum fee is in fact 0.0015 (correctly calculated after 'send' data check on 0.1719839 and overrides an earlier 'assumed' 0.002), so 0.0005 remains unspent even if you force it as a nominal fee in the settings. Initial fee miscalculation? 6.3 does not have such problem. Please check. TIA.
pm me for details if needed.

I've experienced that exact issue before in 0.6.3 but just never thought to report it.
1) Often would get a message "insufficient... something something something ...after fee included" (can't remember exact wording)
2) So then after I subtract the fee manually, it takes out a different fee amount or sometimes reports a different fee is required.
-- I haven't sent coins since upgrading to 0.7.0 but if I am able to reproduce this behavior at a later date I will fully document the messages
I am having trouble copy and pasting addresses into Pay to box when trying to send BTC in that it won't even give me the option to paste despite it being in the clipboard and working for all other applications. . Reverting to 0.63 works again for me.
I'm on windows 7 x64.
