Luke-Jr, eligius is using the accounts system???
< Luke-Jr>
phantomcircuit: no?
< phantomcircuit>
Luke-Jr, then why are you calling getaccountaddress ?
< Luke-Jr>
phantomcircuit: BFGMiner
< Luke-Jr>
uses it to get a wallet address
< phantomcircuit>
ooh i read your email totally wrong
< Luke-Jr>
there is no account-free alternative yet
< phantomcircuit>
replaced bfgminer/eligius in my head
< phantomcircuit>
weird
< phantomcircuit>
Luke-Jr, wouldn't getnewaddress work better?
< Luke-Jr>
phantomcircuit: no, that would flood the wallet with new addresses
< Luke-Jr>
I call it every block :p
< phantomcircuit>
Luke-Jr, ok.... so what?
< Luke-Jr>
phantomcircuit: getaccountaddress returns the same address until it is used
< phantomcircuit>
everything outside of the accounts stuff is actually very fast even with tons of address/private key pairs
< phantomcircuit>
it's only slow when there's also lots of transactions
< Luke-Jr>
every 100 addresses invalidates the backup..
< phantomcircuit>
Luke-Jr, actually there's an easier way to deal with it, use the address from the previous block initially and then switch once getaccountaddress returns
< phantomcircuit>
ie make the rpc call async
< phantomcircuit>
Luke-Jr, yeah that should be changed
< Luke-Jr>
phantomcircuit: that would be address reuse
< phantomcircuit>
Luke-Jr, it seems a reasonable tradeoff
< wallet42>
is there a way to tell bitcoind to sync only up to a specific height?
< wallet42>
and then shut down
< afk11>
wallet42, could use the 0MQ facility to tell your app a certain height was reached, and have it shut down? no guarantee it won't go beyond that a bit though.
< afk11>
What's the motivation behind the ubuntu bitcoin ppa? Is it used much?
< afk11>
Thinking since libbitcoinconsensus.so is build during the gitian build, we could add that to the PPA?
