Topic: Let me tell you about my first experience with the BitCoind app (Read 718 times)
The client is bitcoin and the daemon is bitcoind. When you start the client you will see a GUI, and it will run you HDD like hell while it downloads the entire blockchain. Once caught-up it will calm down. Each time you start the client after that it will only need to download the blocks created since it was last running.

I am a gluten for action - a couple of hours ago I learned about BitCoin, found this forum and installed the BitCoin app. I found the BitCoin package in Synaptic, and I ran it to see if there was a GUI or anything, and about a half hour later I noticed my CPU2 in overdrive and found that BitCoinD was doing something, so I killed it.
Can anybody tell me what it was doing?

bitcoind is the daemon. You won't see much of a GUI there. Did you check the wiki on how to properly install and configure bitcoin?

Probably downloading the blockchain. You'll need it to run the client. Should take several hours to download.
