Re: Linux update

At first glance, bitcoinshop.com looks better. bitcoinexchange.com might be better than bitcoinx.com.

Be careful where you search domain names, many will front-run you. Even network solutions, although they’ve said they won’t if you use their whois page not the homepage. The only safe place is http://www.internic.com/whois.html

Perhaps the real name is better.

Another name question: I’ve been thinking of a name for the exchange service, and I came up with Bitcoin X (bitcoinx.com) and Bitcoin Shop (bitcoinshop.com). Which one do you find better?

I’d better install 64-bit then. I imagine it’s something about the 32-bit version of Berkeley DB on 64-bit Linux.

BTW, in things like the feature list credits, do you want me to refer to you as sirius-m or Martti Malmi? I think most projects go by real names for consistency.

The program terminated a few times with the same error in debug.log from Db::close. Db.log has:

close: Bad file descriptor blkindex.dat: Bad file descriptor

I’m running a 64-bit Ubuntu distribution.

The only problem now is the DB exceptions he’s getting.


EXCEPTION: 11DbException Db::open: Bad file descriptor bitcoin in ThreadMessageHandler()


EXCEPTION: 11DbException Db::close: Bad file descriptor bitcoin in ThreadMessageHandler()

I had expected those to be a Wine problem, but he’s getting them on Linux just the same. He tried moving the datadir to a different drive, no help. I’ve never gotten them. I’m running a stress test that continuously generates a lot of activity and DB access and never got it.

He has Ubuntu 64-bit and I have 32-bit, so I’m assuming that’s the difference. Is your Linux machine 64-bit or 32-bit? Have you ever had a DB exception? (see db.log also) Now that the zombie problem is fixed in test5, could you start running it on your Linux machine? We could use a 3rd vote to get a better idea of what we’re dealing with here. The DB exception is uncaught, so it’ll stop the program if you get it.

BTW, zetaboards insists on displaying “Member #”, so you better sign up soon and grab a good account number.
