Hey,
This project is pretty old. I'm now supporting Electrum,

They have the right idea. Spesmilo will be revamped in the future to support Electrum and Electrum will be revamped to support libbitcoin:

We're all integrating our projects together.

genjix, this client works with bitcoin 0.5.0?
The git://github.com/genjix/spesmilo.git version is the latest?!

i assume there's not a Mac version of Spesmilo?
does this reduce or eliminate the 0/unconfirmed problems with original client?

I folowed the instructions in "INSTALL.Ubuntu". When I want to make it returns:

It seems this client attempts to start bitcoind at startup and stop it at exit. Is is possible to make it not do that (I'm running a server and I don't want spesmilo to start and stop the thing)?
Cheers,
Cheers,
PM'ed you.
I think it would be nice if you would answer the questions here.
In the first post you tell us about github, now you use gitorious.. Someone who is not interested in a discussion, but wants to try spesmilo will get pretty old sourcecode.
PM'ed you.
Hi, i will like create a debian/ubuntu package from spesmilo.
* Can you tell me what thread in the forum is the oficial for spesmilo ?
* What is the version of python-psyde necessary to execute spesmilo ?
* You are using tags in your repository ?
* The repository in gitorious is the oficial ?.
* Can you suggest one short and one full description.

Some points:
Are you using Windows or Linux?
Also gavin accepted the patch, so we should expect the bitcoind to have that patch in the next release.
Let's use the accepted Python coding style: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
Why do you run bitcoin --help? The file core_interface.py is preferrable since we want to have the option to later switch to other cores (QBitcoin
I'm working on wallet backup atm so I'll message you on irc once that's done to guide you through pulling in my changes.
I only use Linux. Patch or not, I just wanted to use it with a 24/7 remote RPC server. Are you using Windows or Linux?

When working on others' code, I try to simply mimic their coding style. Python annoys me enough without trying to follow a long list of additional nonsensical rules. What don't you like? :p
It runs 'bitcoind --help' to ensure bitcoind is available. If it isn't, the "Internal" option is disabled. Perhaps using an internal-core subclass in core_interface.py would be a good idea, but then *all* invocation/control of bitcoind should be moved into it (right now you have this in main.py)
New features in http://gitorious.org/bitcoin/spesmilo
- Use with unpatched, independent RPC server (or patched "internal" bitcoind like now)
- Settings dialog... to be expanded later
Cool

Yes, but this option is ultimately annoying, because i can't have both GUI and daemon running.
Yes, you can. Run Bitcoin with the -server switch.
Wonderful ! Thx.
How come i didn't know that ?

I'm almost certain that backupwallet makes a cleartext backup of the current wallet. What makes it useful is that it can be called while Bitcoin is running and has the wallet open, without worry of corruption.

I like GUI better for now, and i can't use it to backup wallet.
So i have to shutdown GUI, and start daemon, then backup wallet.... as i said - annoying.

yeah I want to encrypt these first using GPG then upload them to a server using SCP.
However because I want to make it easy, I'm thinking the program would upload the GPG private key in case you ever lost it.
First time install:
- User enables auto-backups.
- Program prompts user to create a new account.
- Program creates a new GPG key for wallet encryption with the id 'bitcoin-wallet-backup'.
- Program uploads GPG private key.
Periodically, after every SEND or NEW-ADDRESS:
- backupwallet to /tmp
- Encrypt & sign wallet using private key.
- Upload to server using SCP.
- Server rejects wallet if signature is incorrect.
Restore wallet:
- Program checks for GPG key 'bitcoin-wallet-backup'.
- If not found then popup dialog asking for username/password & download GPG private key.
- User can download encrypted wallet from public HTTP store ( http://blaa/myusername/latest-wallet.dat.enc )
Suggestions?

Just use backupwallet
Does it have "backup wallet" option in menu ?
This is the thing i'm most missing in the original GUI client.

Working on it. If anybody wants to discuss this in IRC, I need somebody to run my ideas past them to make sure it's secure.
