Nobody saying anything about bitcoin gui not working on ubuntu 11.04 out of the box?

EDIT:
Just saw the issue on github, should've looked there first

OLD:
Same here.

Starting the client, it uses some cycles, but gives no kind of output. No gui and nothing on stdout/err. Maybe wxwidgets 2.9 doesn't like Unity?

I've tried with both 0.3.19 and *.21.

Can someone try without Unity?

So what is the point of this feature if somebody can "fix it" just by downgrading to a slightly lower version ?

Downgrading does not "fix" it. The earlier version would broadcast the transaction, and then it would (most likely) either sit in the network with 0 confirmations for half a day or sit on your machine with 0 confirmations for a few hours, until it aged enough to graduate from the 'very low priority' category.

Perhaps the theory is correct, but the practice confirms you are wrong.

The 9.95 was sent by me about 1 hour after receiving it using 0.3.20 version and later I got 3 confirmations after about 45 minutes.

Perhaps the criteria for requiring transaction fees are wrong ? Yes, i am absolutely certain we got 3 confirmations and i think that 45 minutes is quickly enough, isn't it ? So why require a fee ?

I don't think you ever could. Though that would be a nice feature to add.

Wouldn't this be futile unless you could also could copy in the private key that goes with that address?

The rule of thumb is 1 BTC you just received needs 144 confirmations (1 day) before it is considered 'normal priority.' 10 bitcoins requires 1/10'th that-- 15 confirmations would do it.

Given the recent rise in bitcoin value, I think it makes sense to modify that formula so 1 BTC takes (perhaps) 10 confirmations to be considered 'not likely to be spam'.

This is the receiving address I am talking about:

http://blockexplorer.com/address/1LBK2EespTDpcxnR1J4utP9tBtbA6X5SF9

As you can see, i received 9.95 bitcoins on it, and then i was unable to push the bitcoins further even though i had 7 confirmations.

RE: changing the confusing transaction fee message: good idea, and yes, "we" can.

How about:

This transaction requires a transaction fee of at least 0.0N because of its amount, complexity, or use of recently received funds

I don't want to use the word "recommend", because the GUI doesn't let you try to send them without a fee.

Gavin, i don't doubt your good intentions when requiring 0.01 fee, but this produces serious issues currently in my Bitcoin trading.

Meaningly, when i tried to transfer about 9 bitcoins again after receiving 7 confirmations, i still got the "0.01 fee required because of blah blah" message. When i downgrade to 0.3.20, it does not produce this error.

So what is the point of this feature if somebody can "fix it" just by downgrading to a slightly lower version ?

You shouldn't comment out that line. There is no point changing the source when all you have to do is undefine USE_UPNP by specifying USE_UPNP= when you build.

For custom build this is doesn't matter. I anyway apply several patches for pool.

Commenting out the USE_UPNP line allowed me to build without miniupnpc. Assigning zero still defines the symbol.

If you build with USE_UPNP= then the effect is the same as commenting out that line (undefining USE_UPNP). If you build with USE_UPNP=1, you are building with UPnP with it on by default, USE_UPNP=0 also builds with UPnP with it off by default.

Yep, with commenting all builds ok.

Have you tried building with USE_UPNP=

Yep.
I found where is problem. Current makefiles want installed libminiupnpc.
But this is wrong. If I not need upnp support at all, why I need install it?

bitcoind nogui not builds without miniupnpc (default settings).
Looks like at least unix makefile and related header files do not proper handle this.

And when I completely exclude miniupnpc from build by hand:

Couldn't somebody interested in a DOS attack on bitcoin in this manner simply re-build their own customized client of bitcoin?

They won't be processed by the network (most of it, anyway), even if you modify your client to send them. They'll just sit at "0/unconfirmed" forever.

After this I installed the new client on the other machine. When I turned "Map port using UPnP" the first machine's port forwarding was dropped by the router. How would I go about setting up multiple machines running bitcoin client behind 1 router?

You can't, simple as that. You can only ever forward one port to one client thus port forwarding will only work on one (as you can't change the Bitcoin port). Which one gets the port forward with specific who has UPnP on, etc settings depends on your router.

Linux and Windows binary releases are at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.21/

What about the Apple binaries? Is Mac OS no longer supported?

Well, I saw Gavin's photo in Forbes today, sitting in front of his iMac ... which made me wonder why it seems like Apple-users are second-class Bitcoin citizens. If the lead developer is coding on a Mac, can't he build us a binary? I don't think OSX even got an official build of 0.3.20.2 !

Don't get wrong. Linux is primary here for one thing open source, so do bitcoin - open source.
Due to huge number of users & request windows client made.
Soon their will be for mac.
The problem is Gavin is the only one so far working on whole official client.
Now some programmers joined with him. If you know about Mac programming you can help.
