Hi All.
I didn't make it to the presentation, but I�downloaded�the bitcoin software and tried it out. �It pretty much rendered my pc un-usable after a couple of mins until I managed to close it via the file menu. �Some how it caused my machine to swap like hell, and xorg ended up using several gigs of ram, see the top image attached. �
My pc is reasonably powerful, 6 gig ram, quad core cpu etc. �running ubuntu 11.04, a 1gb gfx card so I wouldn't expect this to cause it to act like a�lemon.�
Any one got any ideas, �I ran the 64 bit gui version from the source forge site...
cheers

Hello All,
Here is some more information from Greg's note at last Friday's presentation.
I'd also like to thank Greg for volunteering to talk and for such a well presented and technical topic.� Seeing the data miner in action was also a bonus.
Attached is the email that Greg sent to Bruce and myself earlier this week.� It seems as though there is plenty more reading on the topic.
I've also loaded Greg's presentation to google docs so that those that weren't at the meeting can appreciate the presentation.
