[Bitcoin-development] Closing issues on github

2011-12-04 Thread John Smith
Hi, This weekend I closed some old github issues that are no longer reproducible in more recent versions, or needed input from the submitter but were stalling for months. I've also closed some issues that deal purely with Wx UI issues like this one: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/425

Indeed. It could make sense. That's the reason why Qt distinguishes strings based on context as well as content. But it could also be nonsense. Can you be more specific as to which strings? JS On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 1:24 PM, Christian Decker < decker.christ...@gmail.com> wrote: > Actually no,

Yes, I know that. It compiles. If we pulled all the 'This is legal in C++' tricks in the bitcoin source it would be even less maintainable and readable than now. But whatever... JS On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 10:51 PM, theymos wrote: > It's legal for a scope to define variables with names that con

Hello Brian, There are no unit tests for the Qt GUI code itself as of this moment. The tests for the bitcoin core are still there in src/tests >). You need to build them with the makefile, though. qmake is currently only used for the GUI executable. JS On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 11:04 PM, Brian McQ

2011-09-29 Thread John Smith
Nils, Sounds good. I'm also doubtful of depending on two crypto libraries when OpenSSL does perfectly well. However, losing compatibility with miners is not very nice. Is there really not a way to compute midstate with OpenSSL? JS On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 7:42 PM, Nils Schneider wrote: > Hey, >

There is a lot of complaining about this alert system, but I really don't see the problem. As others have already said, it's just a message. Even if someone managed to compromise the private key, the most they could do is spam graffiti messages or try phishing. There are much worse things that cou
