Hello,

newbie here, thanks for patience.

I start 0.5.0 without wallet.dat. It creates 100 new keys. I then encrypt them. It should be now bug free and totally secure, so I back the wallet up. I then click "new address", it doesn't use the old 2-100 addresses, instead generates a new batch, because it assumes the old ones are leaked, but in fact they are not. I receive funds to my new 2nd address (which is now not backed up). I lose the new wallet. Restore from backup. Bitcoins lost forever?

Sorry if false alarm, thanks.

Gavin,

Where is my "Bitcoin Address" within this new QT version?

The windows appear but, I can't find my bitcoin address.

Cheers, Thiago

Hi,

Testing the 0.5.0 in Linux, I see a strange behaviour:

1- Open qt-client, blockchain stops the downloading at 10%... Wait 30 minutes... not reach 11%...

2- Close and reopen the qt-client, blockchain start again at 0%... Normal!?

3- Now the download of the blockchain is working, reach 15% and growing...

I have a open firewall for the Bitcoin protocol. My 0.4.0 client works just fine, with more than 30 connections at the same machine (but another Linux user).

Also, where can I find the number of connections using new Bitcoin-QT?

Thanks! Thiago

Guys,

The bidcoin-qt for Linux does not have the Bitcoin icon at the Desktop Pager (Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10).

This is a cosmetic change.

Best, Thiago

I've noticed this same behavior with 0.5 release candidates. I remember seeing it with 0.4 also, so I think it's not a regression. I haven't yet pinned down the cause. It would be nice to fix; especially for those downloading the blockchain for the first time.

Also, where can I find the number of connections using new Bitcoin-QT?

Hover over the signal icon in the lower right corner. The icon looks like a cellphone signal indicator. The number of connections is displayed in a tooltip.

I'm getting an intermittent crashes on bitcoin-qt.exe when doing RPC commands. I seem to be able to get it to occur most frequently when I send a bunch of RPC commands in rapid succession. I have never encountered it with "getbalance", but I have with some other commands. Sending a single letter as the command seems to trigger the crash most often.

I was unable to generate the crash using 0.4.1.

I was unable to find an issue logged for this, although I wonder if it is related to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/639

Can anyone make suggestion on any other debug information I can gather before submitting an issue?

Windows 7 x64 Bitcoin 0.5 rc5
