Welcome to my Bitcoin page. This area is for Bitcoin-related projects on Alloscomp.

What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is distributed, person-to-person, digital cash. Read more about it at Bitcoin.org.

Why should you use Bitcoin? For all the same reasons that you should use regular cash. But anyway, there is plenty of information at their main website.

What have I done with Bitcoin? A few things.

• Port Checker: Click here to check the status of port 8333 on your public IP.
• Generation Calculator: Enter your hashes per second and this calculator will tell you how often (on average) you can expect to generate a block. Click here.
• Block Count: There are currently 78168 blocks. That represents ฿3,908,400 generated.
• Socket-based Bitcoin JSON-RPC Python Client: Bitcoin's implementation of JSON-RPC 1.0 includes some sort of "multiple invocation" support. Due to the strange nature of this code, it won't work with urllib2 or httplib, so I wrote my own that uses the built-in socket module. See my forum post for more information. If you're looking for a way to do multiple JSON-RPC requests in one connection with Bitcoin, check out my library!
• RPC Calls Patch: I've made a patch that adds a few new RPC calls (gethps, getkhps, and listgenerated). It also includes jgarzik's listtransactions patch. Get my (r122) patch. If you'd like, and you're on Linux x86 (32 or 64-bit), you can also use my binaries - latest release.
• BCSendIf: I've also written a little Python program to automatically send your entire balance to another address. It's intended to be run by cron on a headless mining box to relay the coins to you. The new version works on any OS but requires Python JSON-RPC to be installed. The old version uses subprocess, so will require tweaking to use in most configurations, but it doesn't require Python JSON-RPC.
