Ok, ok. but only because this reminds me of the
top-posting and formatting advice page that
I can't seem to find right now.

But I'm not munging what my client decides to
put in to/cc on a g reply either :)

warned him that I haven't really used them.

I never measured exactly, but Bitcoin Wallet takes about an hour to
update its blockchain initially on good WLAN (lightweight approach,
headers only).

After that, Bitcoin Wallet is just as fast as any other client.

The advantage of that approach is that you are not dependent on any
server (like Spinner or Electrum). Essentially you're carrying the
blockchain in your pocket.

Cheers,

Andreas

Re: [Bitcoin-development] new bitcoin.org clients page

2012-05-02 Thread Mike Hearn
We're debating the descriptions on the thread. I provided rewritten
descriptions that try and keep with the theme per client goal, whilst
being less technical.

I think it's unclear how best to run this page. It's clear we need one
though. If everyone can just submit whatever they like then we'll end up
with 4 or 5 pick me! pick me! type descriptions, which avoids a lot of
arguing but doesn't really help our users make a decision. If we have a
Benign Dictator model we might end up with descriptions that are wrong or
don't highlight the strengths / weaknesses of each client properly.

So although it's messy I think the right path is probably the middle one -
have some descriptions that try to be neutral, then improve them based on
feedback from users and developers. They need to be flexible and evolve
over time as the clients evolve too. At some point every client will
support deterministic wallets so easy backups won't be worth mentioning
any more, but there'll be new distinguishing features. And we all need to
try and be honest about our own work.

Here is the current content. Like I said, the descriptions are *not* set in
stone at all.



Bitcoin-Qt http://bitcoin.org/

The original software written by Satoshi Nakamoto, the project's founder.
If you aren't sure which program to pick, this is a good bet. This
application is a peer-to-peer client that builds the backbone of the
Bitcoin network. It is suited for enthusiasts, merchants, miners,
developers and people who want to help support the project. People who run
Bitcoin-Qt are first class network citizens and have the highest levels of
security, privacy and stability. However, it can be very resource intensive
and you should be willing to leave it running in the background so other
computers can connect to yours. If your computer is low powered or you
aren't willing to tolerate a 24-hour+ initial start time, you should
consider other clients. Cutting edge features tend to be implemented in
other clients first.

Website: bitcoin.org

Platforms:
MultiBit http://multibit.org/

MultiBit's primary focus is being fast and easy to use, even for people
with no technical knowledge. It has a YouTube channel to help you learn the
software, and includes helpful features such as an exchange rate ticker.
MultiBit supports many languages such as German, Spanish and Greek.
MultiBit synchronizes with the network much faster than Bitcoin-Qt and
should be ready for you to use within a few minutes. This is a good choice
for non technical users who want an easy to use experience, especially if
you use a Mac.

Website: multibit.org

Platforms:
Armory http://bitcoinarmory.com/

Armory focuses on advanced wallet management features, such as the ability
to construct transactions whilst disconnected from the internet. It
operates in conjunction with a Bitcoin-Qt install. It requires a large
amount of RAM to operate and if you use Windows, it requires a 64 bit
version. It is a good choice for tech-savvy enthusiasts or merchants who
want to try out cutting edge ideas in the Bitcoin world. Armory was partly
funded by a community donation drive which raised over $4000.

Website: bitcoinarmory.com

Platforms:

Electrum http://ecdsa.org/electrum

Electrum's focus is speed, with low resource usage and making wallet
backups easy. It operates in conjunction with remote servers that handle
the most complicated parts of the Bitcoin system, which is why it's fast.
However, by running this client you don't contribute your computer's
resources to the core network, and the remote servers that help give it
good performance have the ability to see all your transactions and tie them
together. Whilst you need provide no personal information to use Electrum
(as is true for all Bitcoin clients), this means the privacy level is lower
than for other clients. Merchants are recommended to use other p2p clients.
Electrum is not quite user friendly yet - currently it is more suited for
tech-saavy individuals.

This is just wrong. While Bitcoin-Qt is by far the best client, it is 
Wladimir's, not Satoshi's.

 If your computer is low powered or you aren't willing to tolerate a 24-hour+
 initial start time, you should consider other clients.

Isn't this down to only a few hours now?

I don't see this as relevant. Every client has been partly funded by 
donations, anyway.

 While Bitcoin-Qt is by far the best client

This is purely subjective. One's best is another's worst.

 These are both things which are particular
 suitable to clear objective enumeration.

Yes, so for the purposes of compiling a list of clients
and libraries, please just stick to a table of features.

On the subjective part, I'm finding the library+client
implementations to be nice, and indeed the future.
Afaik, there are two major pairs of these so far that
should be listed. Ymmv.

Can someone also please set the reply-to header
for these lists. It's really annoying to hit reply and

 to be neutral

Do it in two parts...
- overview, history, architecture model, 'whys'.
- agnostic table of features, platforms, stats, protocols, etc

Last, resolve whether or not bitcoin.org is independant.
It cannot be if it does not accept all lib/client under it's umbrella
or has a lib/client project of it's own. You will hit up against this,
just saying.


 Bitcoin-Qt
 This application is a peer-to-peer client that builds the backbone of the 
 Bitcoin network.

No, they all do this and build it, subject to their feature set.

 It is suited for enthusiasts, merchants, miners, developers

No, all implementations are suited for whoever, subject to their feature set.

  and people who want to help support the project.

Which project, the given client or the bitcoin meme.

 People who run Bitcoin-Qt are first class network citizens and have the 
 highest levels of security, privacy and stability.

Right, anyone who doesn't is unwashed rebel scum, running default
installs of xp, on systems with bad ram, who post their home address,
transaction logs, and pink bits on facebook.

 leave it running in the background so other computers can connect to yours.

Again, a feature set / usage model thing.


 MultiBit

Hey, we're fast, easy and for noobs, me too.

But at least the backing specifics to that claim are stated.


 Armory

Yeah, every lib/client will have a donation thing on their own site,
and the developers own real world wallet.

 Electrum
 the privacy level is lower than for other clients.

Not sure of this claim. It's all in the usage. Run your own remote,
use anonymizers, etc. Right?

Re: [Bitcoin-development] new bitcoin.org clients page

2012-05-02 Thread Alan Reiner
Oh, like I did 3 hours ago?  Gah!  I replied directly to grarpamp by
accident.  Sorry if this seems out of place now...

I'm all for sorting the clients by ease of use.  We want the smoothest
first experience greeting users new to Bitcoin.  I have grand plans of
defaulting Armory to a standard user mode that is standalone, easy to use,
etc.  But until then, Armory will remain an a power-users thing, and I'd
prefer not to have Bitcoin n00bs emailing me for support before they know
what Bitcoin-Qt is, or, more likely, installing Armory alone and then
walking away when nothing works.

As someone else mentioned previously, the advanced stuff will generally be
found by advanced users.  I think it should still receive exposure through
these means, but not on the top/first row.

I personally think the page should say something like New to Bitcoin?
Start experiencing Bitcoin with My Phone menu of phone options, or My
Desktop menu of desktop options  Put the top 3 on each and either a
button for More Options, or a short list of other options without
screenshots, and just descriptions with links.  Ideally, it would be sorted
by popularity, because that's probably the most important metric that ties
together all features into a single number, but we don't have good stats on
that.  For now, we settle this by putting Bitcoin-Qt up front, and sort
everything else by how easy it is for users to get started and perceived
popularity and disagreements can be settled by semi-regular rotation.

For now, I don't think ordering is super important.  No one here is
threatening lawsuits for improper placement, and the rotation will be good
to keep the main Bitcoin page looking less stagnant, and slowly exposing
repeat visitors to the variety of options available.

Too technical if you ask me. We want a webpage for the dumbest end-user

Java? C? What the heck is this? Blockchain? Qt?

Re: [Bitcoin-development] new bitcoin.org clients page

2012-05-02 Thread Alan Reiner
I'm not sure what designed for occasional use means.   Many users of
other clients use them exclusively without touching other clients.  Armory
is designed to be your only wallet (if bitcoind[d/-qt] is running in bkgd).
 I'm sure the other clients are the same.

Instead, I think that line would be replaced by a blurb about the target
audience.  Designed for Advanced Users.  Designed for Quick Setup and
Instant usability.

Btw, Armory now has full installers for both Windows and Linux
(Ubuntu/Debian), with uninstallers and automatic URI registration

Re: [Bitcoin-development] new bitcoin.org clients page

2012-05-02 Thread Alan Reiner
I think it's perfectly reasonable to debate ordering.  I personally don't
think Armory should be up front, because it's not intended for beginners.
 How's that for honesty?  I don't think anyone is trying to game the system
right now, I think we're trying to come up with a reasonable mechanism for
appealing to new users and get the community more connected.   And make
sure everyone understands the system.

On the other hand, perhaps it's better to take the acceptable 80% solution,
and revise it over time...

Amir, I don't have access to the page.  I've never been able to view it.
 Changing my hosts file doesn't seem to do anything.  Can you just forward
me the text?  I'll send you an approval email.

Personally, all this seems far too focused on a centralized website
(bitcoin.org), and presents far too many choices at once to the user.

On bitcoin.org (registered by Satoshi), I would rather see the Satoshi
reference client and perhaps an other clients link on the wiki.

Modern websites are working hard to _reduce_ the number of download
links, not _increase_ them.  See, e.g.
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora where a single download choice
is presented, and then an other options link is below the great big
download button.

Rather than fighting over what a particular bitcoin.org page should
look like, why not maintain an independently managed
BitcoinClients.org website?  Or GetBitcoinClient.org or somesuch.

Solve this problem in a distributed fashion, rather than stuffing it
all onto bitcoin.org.  Bitcoin.org, IMO, is the home of the reference
project not the entire bitcoin community.  Emphasizing that months
ago was why the forum was moved to bitcointalk.org.

Hey, looks good!  I'm glad to see them sorted alphabetically :)

A couple comments:  I don't think the entries for wallet security and
backups accurately describe Armory.  Wallet Security should say
Encrypt/Offline or something to to that effect -- after all, offline
wallets are the holy grail feature of the Armory.  And backups should say
something like One-time Printable if it fits within the box.

Otherwise, I really like the layout and design.  Although despite the fact
I enjoy being first on the list, I think Bitcoin-Qt should still go first.
 It is the reference client, and I think it's relevant that it is the
de-facto client for the majority of users, and the one with the most
quality control and stability.

Are we looking at the same list? Because here is the order I added: Bitcoin-Qt, 
Armory, Electrum and MultiBit. Maybe try CTRL-F5 to force a refresh of your 
browser.

Also about the descriptions: yeah I know. I think it's better to put this up 
first and then have everyone submit their own descriptions and screenshots. 
Otherwise it'll be a nightmare to coordinate until everything is perfect. I did 
message you on IRC today but maybe you were offline.

I didn't copy paste the Armory description from the website because it really 
sounds too spammy like a sales pitch. Here I was trying to give an even handed 
balanced overview of all the clients. For each client I was trying to empaphise 
a 'theme'. Bitcoin-Qt is stability. Armory is advanced. Electrum is convenient. 
MultiBit is ease of use.

there a specific link to click on?Am I blind?

Is there a process we should use to submit how we think our program should
be represented on the clients page?

 Are we looking at the same list? Because here is the order I added:
 Bitcoin-Qt, Armory, Electrum and MultiBit. Maybe try CTRL-F5 to force a
 refresh of your browser.

 Also about the descriptions: yeah I know. I think it's better to put this
 up first and then have everyone submit their own descriptions and
 screenshots. Otherwise it'll be a nightmare to coordinate until everything
 is perfect. I did message you on IRC today but maybe you were offline.

 I didn't copy paste the Armory description from the website because it
 really sounds too spammy like a sales pitch. Here I was trying to give an
 even handed balanced overview of all the clients. For each client I was
 trying to empaphise a 'theme'. Bitcoin-Qt is stability. Armory is advanced.
 Electrum is convenient. MultiBit is ease of use.

 Hey, looks good!  I'm glad to see them sorted alphabetically :)

 A couple comments:  I don't think the entries for wallet security and
 backups accurately describe Armory.  Wallet Security should say
 Encrypt/Offline or something to to that effect -- after all, offline
 wallets are the holy grail feature of the Armory.  And backups should say
 something like One-time Printable if it fits within the box.

 Otherwise, I really like the layout and design.  Although despite the fact
 I enjoy being first on the list, I think Bitcoin-Qt should still go first.
  It is the reference client, and I think it's relevant that it is the
 de-facto client for the majority of users, and the one with the most
 quality control and stability.
