I installed a bitcoin client last night (finally
), 0.3.22-beta was the one offered for download, no sign of a button to generate coins. Pretty cool to see that my client is helping, in a small collective way, to look after around $100m worth of bitcoins floating in cyberspace.
Got my 0.37BTC payout too, although it took several hours to appear in my client. Not sure whether that was because it was still meshing with the network, or that the trans hadn't been verified? Does a transaction that is pending and still needs to be verified still appear in the client?
BTC-USD down to about $16 now, still trending downwards, probably as speculators panic and sell off. Then it will level out and we'll start over?
